Done, thank you very much everyone.

Anyone here willing to tell me if the spots are possible to get? Which ones to give up on? Any tips for particular spots? #8 I believe I need to be banished by Shiro during the mission to use, any tips on how to do that? Please try to avoid saying "you need to do the mission to get near it" as I've gotten close to every spot but after about 15 minutes of scraping each I was unable to get them. Also an estimate of about what % you think all of these spots would give me. Thank you very very much in advance and I'll keep my current % as well as which of the above spots I've gotten below.

Current %: 100%

#8 is all you should need by the looks of things, all you have to do is get banished by Shiro then kill the spirits and scrape the wall there. #6 you cannot get to at all so no point trying that, same with #5. #1 i think it might be possible to scrape that a bit closer in the mission but shouldn't be needed if you can get it all from #8.

Ok, given the errors in both of the above posts...

#8: Get banished in Imperial Sanctum. You won't get banished if you're the only human player. Find a friend/guildie to help, or just pay someone to

. Fighting the spirits should not be required.
#5: Should be accessible from the outpost. It's actually really big.
#1: From the Vizunah Square mission.

Do them in that order, and it should be enough.

unwaking waters portal can be glitched and allow for enemy-free exploration.

The way I did this was by getting pushed through a closed door and through a portal, I'm not sure how reliable this method is.

1) Nap Quarter mission, after you fight the Am Fah you go up the hill, and take a right turn, that's there I believe. Or after the 2nd stop and than you fight the Am Fah.
2) Don't believe you can get that.
3) Arborstone mission/explorable?
4) Pongmei Valley?
5) Try that from seabed mission start. Maybe after you fight Argo go to where he spawns.
6) Unwaking Explorable. Sometimes some outcast spawn up there, you might be able to use Consume Corpse/Necrotic Traversal to get up there, should be fine without that part tho.
7) Palace explorable. Probably just missed a tad.
8) Banishment from Sanctum mission.

Much of these questions were already answered in the Explorer's League forum, here.

My own take....

Vizunah Square mission - you need to really hug and scrap the walls on that side.
I believe is the cutscene for one of the missions (Tahnnakai Temple I think) -- you need to play the cutscene all the way through while making your char spin.
Arborstone (explorable area) - exit Tanglewood Copse and hug and scrap the north and NW walls of that area.
Pongmei Valley - you need to really hug and scrap the southern wall next to Tanglewood Copse.
Boreas Seabed (both Outpost and explorable area). I think it's either accessable by crossing the bridge (in outpost) or killing Argo's team then hugging the wall north of his area.
Unwaking Waters (Mission) - at the start of mission area.
Raisu Place (explorable area) - you need to really hug and scrap the northern wall there.
Imperial Sanctum (Mission) - get yourself banish.

You also can use this "trick" for getting into Monastery Overlook from Shing Jea Monastery/Linnok Courtyard portal (LC side) and the "secret area" east of Eredon Terrace (Stand outside the outpost entrance, facing away from it in Maishang Hills).

Just do the Eredon Terrace portal jump if you haven't, should add more than you need.

#5 is definitely reachable from inside the outpost. There is an upper level with a bridge that leads to some open ground in that area. Look around in the vicinity of Elder Rhea and you should spot the bridge and figure out how to get up to it.

#6 I got when I vanquished the area, using Necrotic Traversal. When you're done with the vanquish, look around for some crabs down in the area used for the mission. Whack one of them with a longbow and traverse to the corpse, then you can reach the area you need to map. (Make sure your heroes are pinned well out of range if any of them have corpse exploitation skills.)
