Are you guys using programs to show where you need to explore? Coz if those are screen shots, my map is just blurred, not outlined.

Just curious to see whether I'm ok, or whether I'm going nuts. Thanks =]

The program being used is TexMod with the Cartography Made Easy mod. Look it up on the Official Wiki.

Anyone know how to get to this spot? the gate in the image below. The gate to the South of it goes to Skyway and the gate to the West of it goes further South off the map to the Tunnels.

Also is that long vertical spot attainable? the one to the right of Dragons Throat.

Thanks for any help on this!

The lower spot is the Vizunah Square (Local Quarter) outpost. To enter it, you must join the party of a native Canthan character who is doing the quest "Mayhem in the Market". That quest leads them to Viz Local, and you can tag along to gain entry.

The strip to the right is cleared by scraping the walls while doing the Vizunah Square mission. There is currently no way to enter Vizunah Square as an explorable area, unlike most other Factions and Nightfall mission areas. But, perhaps the third part of Winds of Change will give us access, just as WiK gave us explorable versions of several mission areas in Prophecies.

can anyone tell me how to get this top spot in Arborstone? I've tried going and hanging out on that top ledge as close as I can get to it and walking backwards and forwards slowly across the ledge stopping for a few seconds at a time, but nada.

can I get that cleared from the outpost, or do I need to go into the explorable area and go wandering out through the marshy areas?

You need to enter the explorable from Altrumm outpost and go down in the swamp, scraping along the northern wall.

thanks for that, hopefully the last one as I'm at 99.3% and this is a large area:

how can I manage to clear this section off? scraping every wall, stopping every couple of steps for a few seconds hasn't worked. is there a specific section in Vizunah at the bottom two clumps of open space there that I need to scrape and sit on in order to clear off that bottom section (if there is, can someone point out that spot to me) or do I need to get a Factions character to piggy back me into Local Vizunah in order to clear it?

BrettM · Jan 11, 2012, 01:54 PM // 13:54

Go to Vizuneh Foreign, speak to the NPC there, and ask to view the mission cinematic. Watch it all the way through. That will clear the big area in question. You also need to get piggybacked into Vizuneh Local to get some in the area of that outpost. (This is a good idea anyway, since there are quests in the Undercity where it is easier to start from Viz Local rather than running to the Wajjun or Bukdek portals.)

This is an important tip all through Cantha. If there is an NPC offering a mission cinematic in an outpost, watch it. Particularly on both sides of Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood.

How do you explore this part. the ones circled in white

Kook~NBK~ · Jan 12, 2012, 07:30 PM // 19:30

Go to Vizunah Square (Foreign) and watch the cut-scene.

BrettM · Jan 12, 2012, 07:49 PM // 19:49

Don't worry about the upper circle. You've scraped the mission about as well as it needs to be scraped, and I don't think I've cleared that little corner on any of my cartographer characters (six characters with Legendary).

For the lower circle, Kook gave the right answer. Speak to the NPC in Viz Foreign and ask to view the mission cinematic. Watch it all the way through. (Note, do the same for every outpost that offers an NPC with a cinematic, including both sides of Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood. These can clear a surprising amount of area.)

Heya all,

I'm doing my cartographer and I would like to know how to explore this area :

The area between vizunah and tunnels.

Thx =)

**cosyfiep** · Jul 11, 2012, 02:48 PM // 14:48

that is part of a dialog area for canthans if memory serves, it is not necessary to get for the carto title.

Quaker · Jul 11, 2012, 03:01 PM // 15:01

If I recall you need to explore the edges of the "Local Quarter" to get that. If you start from the Foreign Quarter, you would need to explore that area after you get down to that lower area.

Meow Ren · Jul 11, 2012, 03:33 PM // 15:33

As Quaker said, try running the mission and make sure to scrape when you get down there....but it's also possible that despite texmod showing it as an area that can be unfuzzed, it might not actually be reachable. Not at home to check myself, but per the Canthan cartography guide here on guru, general consensus seems to be that it's likely not needed for the full 100% (post # 177 on page 9 shows the same area you're missing).

Belle Dwayna · Jul 11, 2012, 04:06 PM // 16:06

It's not needed that's sure but I can't do Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood (low level inside).

I tried your ideas but for the moment I didn't reach this area.

This is a screen of someone who did it (don't play anymore) :

Snograt · Jul 11, 2012, 04:11 PM // 16:11

D'you know, I think that tiny patch of Kaineng is the most sought after piece of real estate in the whole of Tyria. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the exact same screenshot

**cosyfiep** · Jul 11, 2012, 04:49 PM // 16:49

as I said....its part of the canthan cutscene.
and you can get into jade and fort---though you will need to deal with lots of bots...just run around and ignore everyone.

update its part of the original cutscene (for either side) when you first get to viz square...attached you will find my screenshot with that area uncovered--and NOT the mission done and NOT a local canthan. (its a survivor toon-dervish)

Belle Dwayna · Jul 11, 2012, 04:58 PM // 16:58

Thx for your help, we finished without this area but is was close x)

And cosyfiep, you can't start jade and fort if you are not lvl20, that was the problem
