Talk:The Path of the Zaishen Elite

Zaishen Challenge a requirement?
What's the deal with this quest? Does it allow you to bypass the Zaishen Challenge to access the Zaishen Elite Challenge? Can you even get the quest from Rioka if you haven't beaten the Challenge? How does the Gate Guard react if you have the quest, but not beaten the Challenge, or vice-versa? I'd need to do some testing, but I have already unlocked both the Challenge and the Elite Challenge, so I can't check any more if the Challenge is a precondition. -- 09:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Have just checked it. I have unlocked Zaishen Challenge but not completed it, and I cannot get this quest from Rioka. Speaking to the gate guard does nothing either. --221.84.170.134 18:40, 22 March 2006 (CST)


 * I only beat 4/5 teams and the quest was open for me around the relase of Factions--68.192.188.142 20:06, 18 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I have just done a clean up of these quests, the requirement for completing the Zaishen Challenge is most likely to do with when your account was created (ie if created before or after the January 19th, 2006 update which introduced the Battle Isles into the game.
 * My account was created prior, and I have tested my PvE character, both characters created before and after on this account, and they all did not have to complete the Zaishen Challenge prior to being able to take The Path of the Zaishen Elite quest.
 * However, I am unable to test PvP (no available character slots left), so I say the best way we can sort this out is to draw up a table (see below) and ask fellow GuildWikians to fill in their experiences. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 06:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

! !! My account was created prior to Jan 19th 2006 !! My account was created after Jan 19th 2006

I always assumed any account created prior to Jan 2006 was able to do anything, including zaishen challange. At least my chars can. The creation date of the chars doesn't matter. However, sometimes it was not directly on the map for new created PVP chars. I had to talk to balthazar or jump to pvp training island to get it on the map, strange enough.-- -- ( talk ) 07:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
