Zaishen Elite

General Description
The Zaishen Elite is a Challenge, i.e. a training arena to simulate PvP battles against AI-controlled opponents. Players can fight endlessly against teams of increasing power in different arenas.

One account can only earn a total of 2,000 faction per day from the Zaishen Challenge or the Zaishen Elite although consecutive victories in the Zaishen Elite allow you to earn more than 2,000. On the battle in which you would exceed 2,000 faction, your winnings will cap at 2,000; however, if you win that battle in the Zaishen Elite you will be allowed to remain in the arena and subsequent battles will earn the normal amount of faction. Once you lose after you have earned more than 2,000 faction, you will not be allowed to earn any more faction in Zaishen Challenge or Zaishen Elite for 24 hours from the time you started earning faction in the Zaishen Challenge and Zaishen Elite. You can still earn faction from Guild versus Guild, Random Arenas, Team Arenas, Hero Battles and Heroes' Ascent. Once you have earned more than 2,000 faction in Zaishen Challenge you are also prevented from earning more faction even if you win all battles, because you do not remain in the arena after each Zaishen Challenge win or loss.

How to get there
The Zaishen Elite (also known as the Zaishen Elite Refuge) is located on The Battle Isles. Map travel to the Isles from Lion's Arch (Tyria) or Kaineng Center (Cantha) or Kamadan (Elona).

To be able to map travel to the Zaishen Elite you must first "unlock" it. This is done by beating 5 of the 6 opponent teams in the Zaishen Challenge.

Once you have beaten the Zaishen Challenge, you may also use the Forbidden Path. The quest The Path of the Zaishen Elite will lead you.

Unlocking is per account. This means, once one character has unlocked it, all characters on the same account will be able to enter it.

Mission
If you hit the "Enter Mission" button in your party window, you get to fight the same opponent teams, in the same arenas as the Zaishen Challenge. However, this time the selection is random, and this time there is no final objective. The number of fights is endless, and the difficulty increases with every victory, including increments to the number of AI opponents (to a max of 12) which can result in fighting at a serious disadvantage, especially as each of them has a Resurrection Signet.
