Training Arena

The Training Arena is a training facility of the Zaishen Order located on a beach near the Great Temple of Balthazar on The Battle Isles.

The purpose of this arena is to simulate PvP and GvG team fights against AI-controlled Zaishen fighters.

Players fight through a sequence of 4 different game types against in a 4-versus-4 battle as listed below. Consecutive winning of all four battle types will give the player access to the Zaishen Challenge. If you lose any of the 4 battles you will be kicked back to the Isle of the Nameless.

The Master of Paths will guide players while they are in the Training Arena, and he gives a brief introduction for each battle type.

Note: Killing foes and winning matches in the Training Arena will actually earn you Faction points, like if it was a real PvP arena.

How to get there
The Training Arena does not appear as an icon on the map, and you can not directly map travel there.

The only way to reach this arena is to talk to the Master of Paths on Isle of the Nameless. Later, even if you have completed the quest, you may return to the Master of Paths and he will take you to the Training Arena again, as often as you want.


 * PvE characters must map travel to The Battle Isles by clicking the ship icon on the World map.
 * Go to the the Great Temple of Balthazar. PvP characters spawn here automatically.
 * There is only one exit from this area. It's to the north and goes to the Isle of the Nameless.
 * Talk to the Master of Paths, who will be behind you once you zone into the Isle of the Nameless area.
 * Choose "Yes. Tell me of my choices." / "Tell me of your Training Arenas." / "I am ready to take a team into the Training Arenas".

Tips / Walkthrough
The enemy AI team is pretty easy to beat, even with henchmen and even for PvP newbies.


 * Attack the Enemy Monk first.
 * During Obelisk Annihilation Training, let the enemy team capture the Obelisk first, then take it.
 * During Priest Annihilation Training, go for the enemy Priest first.

Glitch

 * During Priest Annihilation Training, if you don't get the enemy Priest in the range of your radar, you will win immediately after you beat the enemy team.

You can only get 2000 faction per day from this arena. This is easily maxed out by winning all the arenas twice with a flawless victory in everything except the Kill Count Training.
