No, it’s still very attainable. There is loads of lead way on the title.

And congrats to Mint.

Well, I'd say it's close to 25% actually. I had the western bit of Haiju Lagoon open and the path leading to there from Jaya Bluffs before I started. I was at 69.9%. I was at a solid 85% after opening the rest, save Zen Daijun...which I still have not opened...so if the rest of the Island is a full 15%, I'd say what I had opened already, plus what I have left will make ~25%. That's a GREAT start for people beginning in Factions that want the title of for Tyrian chars coming in to try it.

In my experience so far, it is MUCH easier to attain this title in Cantha than in Tyria. I'm at 90% now, and haven't opened Zen Daijun, been to Amatz Basin or the Aurios Mines, or uncovered all of their respective lead-in zones.

Cantha does not have zones like Snake Dance, Dreadnaughts Drift, Ice Dome or Lornar's Pass. And to make matters even easier, you can go into the mission area as an explorable area, whereas in Tryia, you had to do the mission. Don't get me wrong, it's still not easy...but compared to Tyria, it's a walk in the park.

I'm at 99.8% now, haven't been able to enter the Jade Quarry yet. If other people want it, we could organize a group.

I play on American Server by the way.

That's why I said it wasn't a quotable figure, also I wasn't counting the monestary overlook, as not everyone can access it. The figures others have told me have varied widely, but none of them have been below 21%. It makes a huge difference if you can get the monestary overlook or not. If you can, than getting the title is a bit of a joke. If you can't, then it gets a bit more difficult. It's a walk in the park until you get to around 99.3%, then it gets tough (only if you don't have the overlook). However, with this thread it's not hard at all, as the only hard part about it was trying to figure out where the hell those last little spots are on the map when you think you've already uncovered everything. Fortunately I've got them all circled, and will even help anyone find spots that aren't, even though they aren't needed.

I've made a few updates.

Edited text on the second and third post

Added 3 maps that show areas that I have more fully cleared since the original maps were shot. I will combine these areas to the fully marked map when time is available. I will also be changing the positions of a few of the circles and will be adding a couple more based on spots that other people have missed recently.

Edit: Soon I will be adding pics of some of the most common commonly missed spots that will show a close up comparison of what the spots look like when not clear, compared to what they look like fully cleared.

Great guide, I was in the way for my 6th Grandmaster title (on 3 characters) and I have to admit that your post helped me to get the 0.1% I was missing from shiro's at Imperial Sanctum.

Thanks a lot.

This is a great thread and has been very helpful. Thanks!

Unfortunately I'm stuck at 99.6% and am slowly tearing my hair out, but I'm sure I'll get through it. I have yet to team up with anyone to see if I can get banished. That should help for a little of what I need.

I still have a couple spots to go before I am done, but woohoo!!!!

Thanks again for all of your help Livingston.



EDIT: I was mapping #3 of the Luxon map when I saw that I had hit 100%. I took pictures right there! Of course I don't think I got all of the spot either, the Kappa's came back and I zoned. I still need to get #6 of the Luxon map and #11 of Mount Qinkai. There is always the Jade Quarry too.

Funny thing, this is what I was paying attention to when I was mapping Shing Jea Island, and when I was done (for afaik) I was at 22.7%, if you want to check, this is what I have:


PS: Do note this is not a 'help me, check my map for uncovered stuff'-picture but just an addition to verify what I said picture.

I've heard 22% used before, which since as a Canthan (you have newby starting area which under the topic of conversation must be removed from the math) you have that 0.5-1% extra which is the original question poster's entire point in asking as a Tyrian. For what it's worth though, your map looks complete gj

A week after the Tyrian title i was at 99.9%. This thread helped me so much.
Its my new bible
So with al the troubles of getting in the jade ( stuck at 99.9% ) i went on with my warrior.
And tonight, just one try, et voila, i was in! I'm so happy.

Thank you for this thread ( and also thx for the posters in it.) I will post a next screen if my warrior made it. ( 92.7 now )

Yeah, I knew it was around 22 but being able to clear the Monastery Overlook or not makes a big difference. I'd be curious to see what the exact count is without the overlook as well.

BTW: I believe you can clear 25 a bit more, otherwise the map's as close to perfect as my own. Not sure if this would give you another .1% or not, but probably not. And what’s this afaik you speak of?
