Zaishen
Challenge Quests can be obtained at the Great Temple of Balthazar in
the Battle Isles

The
Zaishen
Order

within the original href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/taxonomy/term/47">Guild
Wars

timeline is a guild which honors the god
Balthazar.
As such, the order features prominently throughout the PvP
centric Battle Isles
which can be accessed by both Roleplaying and PvP
only characters through the main in-game map.

In April of 2009, a new series
of Zaishen Challenge Quests
were added
to the core game along with the 4th anniversary update. Changing daily,
each quest type offers a certain reward based on a number of factors
which will be described in more detail below. To gain the most benefits
from the daily Zaishen quests, players will need to own all three of
the main campaigns as well as the Eye of the North expansion as the
quests rotate daily and can send players to zones within any previously
released content.

To obtain the daily Zaishen
quests, players must travel to the
Great
Temple of Balthazar
, located at
the heart of the Battle Isles. There,
you will find a row of 3 signposts marked as quest starters. Completed
quests can be turned in at the same location by speaking to Zehnchu
who
is located next to the signposts. Players may have no more than 3 of
each type of Zaishen challenge quest in their journal at any given
time, but quests do not need to be completed on the same day on which
they are obtained, nor will they expire unless completed or manually
abandoned by the player.

The three available types of
challenge quest - Mission, Bounty and Combat - are outlined below.

Zaishen
Mission (PvE Characters Only)

  • Objectives
    - Complete the listed quest, most often being a mission from
    Prophecies, Factions or Nightfall, or one of the main storyline quests
    from Eye of the North

  • Bonus
    - Two separate types of bonus may be offered for Mission quests.
    First, players can complete the bonus or master reward objectives for
    that particular mission or quest, and then players may also complete
    the mission in Hard Mode for additional rewards.

  • Rewards
    - Standard rewards are Zaishen Coins, Experience and Gold which
    scales depending on the difficulty setting and / or bonus objectives
    completed. Certain missions may also reward players a set amount of
    faction points which count towards the various title tracks within the
    game.


Zaishen
Bounty (PvE Characters Only)

  • Objectives
    - Eliminate the listed Boss Mob. The bosses may be found
    within any zone within the game, including special areas such as the
    Underworld, Fissure of Woe, Urgoz’s Warren, and the Deep.
    Bosses may also be located within any of the Eye of the North dungeons
    including Slaver’s Exile.

  • Bonus
    - A higher reward can be obtained by defeating the boss in Hard
    Mode.

  • Rewards
    - Zaishen Coins, gold, experience and title points.


Zaishen
Combat

  • Objectives
    - Zaishen Combat quests will send players into any
    of the available PvP mission types, and are completed upon winning a
    battle of the requested type. Unlike Mission and Bounty quests, Combat
    quests are repeatable.

  • Rewards
    - Zaishen Coins, experience, gold and Balthazar
    faction (certain quests such as Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry will
    grant faction based on the Kurzic / Luxon alliance of your
    current guild instead)

Zaishen
Coins and Rewards

Zaishen Coins were introduced
as a new form of currency along with the
Zaishen Challenge Quests. Each type of quest rewards players a
different number of Copper Coins which stack up to 250, and can be used
to purchase Zaishen Copper Rewards. Coins can also be traded up for the
next highest type. The breakdown of coin rates is as follows:

  • 50 Copper Zaishen Coins = 1
    Silver Zaishen Coin
  • 10 Silver Zaishen Coins = 1
    Gold Zaishen Coin


Each type of coin can be spent
on different items. A complete list of rewards can
be found below.
