As the ancient Canthan name implies, Shing Jea is the jewel of Cantha. Headed by the legendary Ritualist, Master Togo, the monastery provides training to students of all heroic professions, including the Ritualist and Assassin professions native to Cantha. Graduates of the Shing Jea Monastery are recognized worldwide as masters of their chosen arts.

— In-game description

Shing Jea Monastery is a prominent training center for students of various arts and callings. This is the first location that new Factions characters will arrive at upon completion of the tutorial.

Notes

Coins inside a keg near Ludor

• Interactive objects:
  • Tablets of Wisdom
• In Cantha, Shing Jea Monastery (and by extension, Shing Jea Boardwalk) is where certain special events are held.
• Complete exploration of this town contributes approximately 0.4% to the Canthan Cartographer title.
• During Fifth Year Anniversary Celebration there was a small keg near Ludor Festival Hat Maker. When you looked through the textures you could see a couple of gold coins hidden there.
