Hi

I've been meaning to ask this, as my attempts have been up to this point futile:

Can the Shing Jea beginner's dojo ever be re-entered? I've completed all of master Ng's semi-quests, so they're not an option. I ask this because I'm attempting to explore as much of Cantha as I can, and there's a big blur that can fill up about 0.3%+ with that one portion alone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I've noticed some areas such as the ever-absent Jade Quarry and the impossible to reach banishment areas of the Imperial Sanctum are extremely hard to get to. Has anyone else been able to uncover these spots and might be able to impart some wisdom?

Thanks

You mean the very first area where you start Factions in?
There's a bug that puts you back to the starting area, like you would have started a new char in Factions, except with level 20 and with all your skills and stuff. Just enter an alliance battle area from your guild hall, then go back to your guild hall using the hall button from the guild window and finally hit Leave guildhall button.
This will put Canthan characters into the tutorial and Tyrian characters to post-searing Ascalon. You most likely can't get the res sig quest again, so you'll be facing some locked gates if you have done it before.

You really don't need one, just do what he says and it works, I just tried it. Probably has something to do with the fact that the alliance battle area isn't an actual outpost, so when you try to leave the guild hall, it doesn't know where to send you and spits you back at the start.

I just tried this, you can go back to the starting area and it will begin the tutorial again, but once it gets to a certain point it just stops - the instructor won't open the gates, so I guess it's impossible to add this area if you skipped it when you first made your character.
