I'm at 99% and scraping doesn't seem to help. If anyone recognizes these areas or any little tricks please tell me! Thanks in advance.

*The bit above Boreas Seabed I think is obtainable from the outpost rather than the mission.
*The bit next to Zin Ku Corridor should be obtainable from the outpost as well. Have you gone all the way though it? All the way past the god statues? It's a long outpost.
*The bit below/right of Dragons Throat needs to be scraped during the Visunah Square mission. No other way to do it.
*The bit near Imperial Sanctum is probably the place you get sent when Shiro banishes you. If you're playing with H/H, Shiro will only target them. Grab a guildie/friend and sit around until he banishes you.
*In the Challenge missions, try entering from the side you don't normally enter from. You'll be able to get to parts you can't from the other side and other parts are easier to get to.

For the rest (most of them, at least) you just need to scrape better. Go slowly and scrape from each direction.

If that doesn't help, there's also a trick involving shrine npc's outside Eredon Terrace that's good for a huge chunk of exploration. But just do as Marty said and you should be fine, patiently scrape in all directions and try to get every last corner. It helps to push your character against the map walls at different angles with WASD/arrow keys. Good luck! Hope this helps.

Above Boreas seabed is in the outpost.
The Altrumm Ruins challenge mission you can scrape the edge to get that last bit... It should be pretty easy as long as you can keep mobs attacking your H/H's instead of you.
Enter Fort Aspenwood from the Luxon side and scrape the wall. Ignore the PvP going on around you until you get the map - make sure to press M while youre in the match to see if you got it since cartographer doesn't show up in competitive missions. Also make sure you mapped the Kurzick FA outpost, if that doesn't work enter on the Kurz side to scrape the back area around Gunner.
The bit around zin ku corridor also looks like its in the outpost.
The bit around Jade Quarry Kurzick looks like its in the outpost, but if you haven't entered the competitive mission on the Kurzick side you should do that to make sure you have its base mapped. Maybe try running down to the left (north) from the entry.
The bit around the imperial sanctum you will need to get banished by Shiro to map.

Don't worry about that area around Vizunah. I got 100% without it no problem.

You're at 99% with that much left ??? When I was at 99% I only had tiny little bits left that was really difficult to get. GZ on your title ! should be a breeze now with the above advice !

the part to the north and a bit east of tangle wood...you need to hug the wall outside of tanglewood (and up the hill a bit). the area south in tangle wood...go right and hug the walls there...you might have to run back thru it a few times to get it all.

the area east of mantu is a pain...part of its in pogmei and another part is in the area north (near a rez shrine and on a house)...

the part in zhu kin north...you need to hug the walls on the east side after you go thru the tahnaki temple area---head east as far as you can go, the lower part is right in the outpost...instead of going up the stairs to leave, keep heading east (weapons guy over there?) that should get that piece (if not go into the tunnels and over around that rez shrine.)

hope these tips help.

the area in viz sqaure mission....after the second room you need to hug the east wall (flag your part ahead of you if you are worried about time....I usually do these well after I have gotten masters so I dont have to worry about that).

seabed one is indeed in the outpost...go to the storage area and then head north and then west.

I can see some parts that you havent mapped yet. I was at my last .5% and had to do the mission Vizunah Square. Just as you cross the bridge after the second battle start hugging the wall slowly.

Heres a pic of mine.

The bit just NE of the Arborstone outpost can be gotten by entering Arborstone explorable (from Altrumm Ruins) and going up through the swamp.
