Sunqua Vale is an idyllic location nestled between the mountains and the southwestern cliffs of Shing Jea Island. It includes portions of the short east-west mountain range of which Tomaat Pass leads from the Shrine of Maat towards the western coast of the island. The lowland areas of this area are sparsely populated by simple Mantids and wandering Kappa. Towards the western end, near Lake Puang, some Naga can be encountered. The snowy mountain range is slightly more dangerous, with bands of Sensali Tengu and the Crimson Skull patrolling about.

This is the first explorable area where new players will encounter hostile enemies. The Mantids (excluding a few in Zhengjo Temple), Kappa, and Naga in the area are passive until attacked first, but the Sensali, the Yetis, and the Crimson skull band encountered in the northern mountainous paths do attack on aggro.

Getting there

• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 135 foes; the total can range from 105 to 152, including quest influences.
  • The fewest number of foes spawn during A Strange Request, which is part of the Dragon Festival.
  • Several Kappa will jump out of the waters, if you approach too close the southeastern waterfront.
  • Similarly, a few Naga will show up as you cross the bridge over Lake Puang.
  • A single, hidden Lesser Oni can be found a short distance northwest from the Tsumei Village portal.

Bug.Wulk Cragfist spawns as a hostile for all characters and turns into an ally after being defeated, despite the fact that only Factions characters can take his quest, Revenge of the Yeti.

Bug.Sometimes, a Water Buffalo (near the second rabbit cage) will spawn in the middle of two trees and be unable to move.

Bug.Inside Zhengjo Temple, two Mantid Hatchlings will attack the Mantid Monitor near to where they spawn.
