Partially by scraping at the very end of the Borliss Pass mission and partially by scraping the Frost Gate outpost itself.

Krazas · Sep 19, 2010, 10:29 PM // 22:29

I tried both, but still show me this piece covered by fog.

I used viper defense, necrotic traversal - no effect, but thanks for help.

Looking at the map, it looks like you might be able to hit it in the back end of the borlis pass mission.

3 mission areas easy to carto in Kryta:

D'Alesio Seaboard - talk to Jiaju Tai in LA and enter the backdoor way with NO WiK wanted quests active... there will be no foe.

Riverside Province - talk to Blade Operative Paulina in Sanctum Cay and enter the backdoor way with NO WiK wanted quests active... there will be no foe.

Divinity Coast - enter via the Secret River Passage with NO WiK wanted quests active... there will be no foe.

Only part I am not sure of is if there will be spawns if you have not finished BLA.

BrettM · Nov 06, 2010, 12:49 PM // 12:49

(I think you meant Riverside Province for the second location on your list.)

Yes, there are Mantle/Peacekeeper spawns in those areas until you have finished BLA, even if no WiK quests or bounties are active for those areas.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Easily one of the more helpful tips I've read in this forum. I already had D'Alesio the hard way, but was able to completely map Riverside Provence and Divinity Coast in peace. I actually love mapping when it's quiet and there are no enemies, which is why I reward myself with mapping after a vanq.

Again, bravo.. I passed these tips on to my guild/allies and told them I read it here. I know a lot of them are doing cartographer on Tyria.

spent ~ 2 hrs scraping/turning/running into walls trying to get this 1 small piece uncovered and no luck.... any suggestions? i've tried from majesty's rest as well...

ilr's guide has been pretty helpful for attaining the annoying nooks, but there was no mention of this being a trouble spot. i realize i don't need it for 100% but it's gonna really bug me

Zomeone · Feb 25, 2011, 10:04 AM // 10:04

Hi,

I almost have 100 % tyria cartographer, just missing 0,3 %. I can't seem to get it anywhere, but then i noticed this area. What is that island below d'alessio seaboard? How do i get there? Need help, thank you.

sykoone · Feb 25, 2011, 10:18 PM // 22:18

The island below D'Alessio is the old Guild Hall island from before Factions was released. It can no longer be accessed.

**Marty Silverblade** · Feb 25, 2011, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Actually, it was an old PvP arena called 'Competitive Arenas'. Like all the old PvP arenas, it cannot be accessed anymore. There is tons of leeway in Prophecies so there will still be lots of fog to uncover for 100%.

PS: That map has lots of uncovered spots on it. I wouldn't rely on it.

Try to work with the maps where you can see the greyed areas so you can work around systematically.

catsevilclone · Mar 16, 2011, 11:20 AM // 11:20

A general tip from a legendary cartographer for everyone here is that you scrape SLOWLY. Just stand at certain spots and turn around slowly. Those small grey triangles are very edgy when it comes to that! Also use necrotic transversal to get to certain areas where you normally can not go. Especially the Frostgate and Dunes of despair mission add a fair amount of area. Further the eastern part of Talus Chute has a small ledge which leads to an area where you normally do not come. The great northern wall mission, the area where the charr come from etc etc. You can find lots of tips on GWwiki and the web. Further I would recomment to combine this with elite skill hunting so you don't have to do the whole thing twice as I had to......saves you time.... :-)

Showtime · Apr 01, 2011, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Can anyone help me unlock the last .5% for my cart? I think that chunk in the middle could help. I am also willing to pay for a guide if it's too much trouble or time consuming.

Thx!

Edit: Thx! Got it and with some other scraping at 99.8%.

**Marty Silverblade** · Apr 01, 2011, 10:06 PM // 22:06

That massive chunk is in The Great Northern Wall mission. When you're in the bit at the end where you run back there's actually a lot of area on the side you can explore. Move off the path and you'll be able to scoop all that out. The other bits should just be careful scraping. I'd go after Nolani first if the big piece isn't enough (just scrape it right at the end before you kill the charr bosses).

wanna know this one as well

Obaba · Jun 06, 2011, 04:14 PM // 16:14

When I first started, I was playing causally without worrying about titles or completion. Now I'm trying to set up a strategy for tackling some areas I haven't completely explored.
Things like Elite Captures, Side quests and the like, but more importantly exploration. With large areas still unexplored as well as small bits here and there, could I just ignore the small spots?

They may indeed not count in the end, but some are large enough to have me running between several maps and missions trying to uncover something that be needed later.

I am using Textmod, but there are so many areas, a screen cap is not worth the trouble, but I can say there is no full region that is completed.

Thanks for all the advice so far. This thread and the previous have been very helpful.

No, you do not want to ignore the small spots. The strategy is... crawl the walls, crawl the walls, crawl the walls. And in case you missed that... crawl the walls.

Make a list of each map, crawl the walls completely, no speed boost, constantly angle into the edge, and check off each one as you complete it. Do the same thing for all towns, outposts and mission areas.

I've done Legendary Cartographer on two characters now (yes, I'm that compulsive) and I can tell you that every little nook and cranny counts. I have stepped into a corner behind a henchman in an outpost and seen the counter increase by .1%.

There is definitely more than 100% on the maps, so you've got a little room for missing a few spots. On my second character, I hit 100% Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer without ever setting foot into Majesty's Rest (I only went there to vanquish).

But, don't let that lull you into complacency. Crawl the walls and find every little spot you can. That last 1% is never one big spot, it's always a bunch of little spots. I'm convinced that the counter increments in less that .1%, and that you can hit a bunch of .01% spots before the counter gives you a .1%.

Good luck.

Hello,
I've read that there's a glitch in Talus Chute, but I couldn't find any picture or guide how to get to "The end of the world".
Could someone give me a screen and location where to go to explore this piece of map?
Thanks in advance

Hara Makoto · Feb 19, 2012, 05:39 PM // 17:39

Here's the route I took - hope it helps.
