Talk:Shing Jea Monastery (mission)

Get 500 tokens during one window, and almost no one thinks these missions are worth doing? --24.179.151.252 12:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

This one is an exception. You have to close less rifts and can be done faster. The rest are simply not worth doing. MithTalk 04:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't take a hero team, you will not be able to clear all the rifts before another one opens, I completely wasted 45 minutes on this ****ing mission and still didn't complete it. Anon-e-mouse 12:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Any tips on how to do it? Cause too slow with hero's. 84.26.144.104 12:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

How am I supposed to capture all rifts when mosters spawn even when rift is captured and retake it. Matek 12:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

That's a subtle way of saying game over. The longer you take to finish, the faster stuff respawns and the less likely you are to win. Two copies of "Fall Back!" and enough damage to kill something in a few seconds leads to three minute completions with heroes. 66.190.15.232 13:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thats a good tip. Won't be wasting an hour again ;) thx. 84.26.144.104 17:56, 5 July 2009 EDIT, got it once but only when I used a sumstone84.26.144.104 18:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

This was easy with discord heroes. It took me around 5 minutes, with 3 rifts re-opening. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:80.101.84.31 (talk).

"The rest are simply not worth doing. MithTalk 04:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)" Why does everything have to have a super reward? People stopped caring about the fun of doing certain things in Guild Wars and only look foward for the rewards. Runningbaka 02:22, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Not nice to see this quest hasn't been adjusted at all, just spent another completely wasted 40 minutes.. and the furthest I got was 3 rifts. And when I get to the 4th one, 2 of the 3 closed rifts re-open again.. and were spawning foes again.. this needs a little tweak or something to make this a little more hero friendly.

Another wasted quest from AreaNet

I'm not sure who is making up the quests at AreaNet any more but they are a joke. These celebration quests are on the beginning island but they certainly are not for any one but professional players. These one probably takes the cake for being the being waste of time. I guess they forgot what made GW great in the first place. As many of the quests and areas in this game, unless you are a perma or a monk 55 (or 600) then you are just wasting your time playing.

These missions are not to be done for reward, but for fun and your personal achievement and being challenged, if you want easy Victory Tokens, you can do the QUESTS, not missions, that are present at the starter island which have level 2, 6, 15, and 18 monsters. By doing these quests you can get 240 victory tokens in under 20 minutes, then you can go to Rollerbeetle Racing or Dragon Arena and gain the last 10 victory tokens, thus, getting you a mask.

Last year I had finished it easily with discord heroes but this year I can't close the rifts because monsters constantly spawn at some rifts. Last year I liked it, but this year it was not funny, but I don't know why.--Max ime 06:52, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

One thing for certain that is different in this year's Dragon Festival quests is that several of the skills that the mesmer NPCs (Scythe of Chaos (actor) and Banished Dream Rider (actor)) have equipped were buffed in the May 21, 2010 update, along with Fast Casting. --Silver Edge 08:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Discord heroes still work fine, but I found I only achieved consistent success in all of the missions running a Mesmer Promise build spamming 'rupts like Guilt, Cry of Pain, and Power Drain. Managed to get anywhere from 4-6 minute runs every time (with an outlier of 3! minutes once), but it required some pretty heavy hero flagging to make sure rift capture efficiency was maximized while killing enemies.--99.14.216.132 11:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

4 SoS > this mission

4 SoS rits would rape this mission could probably do it in less than 3 minutes. Mmmm, 1000 tokens each, 300 sweet points. Its annoying when you find a build when its too late, now there is only one more chance until next year and by then they will most probably have nerfed the SoS skill, I did it 6 times in one group but we had a hero so it kinda took one extra min.--90.129.35.240 00:54, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Move

Disagree. Raid on Shing Jea Monastery is not a mission, it is a quest. Furthermore, it is not called "Shing Jea Monastery." There is only one mission titled "Shing Jea Monastery," this one. Konig/talk 11:06, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
