Hello, I have been working on cartographer and was wondering if someone could tell me how to access the area I have circled in red.



Any help is appreciated.

For the parts above the red luxon line, i think you can get that from FA if you go to the other portal?

I'm 98.4% in Cantha and the obvious places I know I haven't got are JQ and the Monastery. How much are they worth and is it possible to get 100% without either?

Hmm, would they be enough to get me 100%? Cause if so I'm not going to bother scrapping for the tiny other bits I missed. I can finish the last .5% for Elona and 3% for Tyria.

Jade Quarry might get you around 98.7-99%, monastery probably .3?

Make sure you have more kurzick faction then luxon. Exit the Eredon and talk to the priest next to the shrine outside and fight him. most of the time the merchant runs into town, sometimes he might just get stuck on the wall. but when he runs away make sure he runs PAST the portal and target him and shadowstep to him then go to the area where the people that own the town can only go to.

If you are allied with the faction that does not control Eredon Terrace, you can choose to fight the guards manning the resurrection shrine just outside in Maishang Hills. When you do this, the merchant will run around trying to avoid your party (it is best to have a small group with healing but little damage). There is a good chance that he will run through the portal to Eredon Terrace. When he does, you can then use a shadow stepping skill to access the area without going into the outpost. You will also be able to access the area normally exclusive to the alliance that owns the outpost. When you cross the bridge in that area, it is possible to get behind the mountain by wall hugging at the edge of the cliff. Behind the mountain is a large amount of open space that will contribute to the cartographer title. You will also be able to see where the map ends.
# Be warned, though: If you map the entire area including where the map ends, your zoomed out map will have an irremovable dark line where the map of Maishang Hills ends.

I just started looking for information about cartography and found this thread. First off, many thanks to all those who have shared information here. The maps are a treasure.

Here’s something I just discovered regarding Mount Quinkai #16 on Livingston's map.

I found a post that said that "This spot is cleared by asking the Luxon Commander in Luxon Fort Aspenwood outpost to Replay the mission cinematic."

The first time my character finished the cinematic he was at 96.5%. After asking the Luxon Commander to replay the cinematic a second time he was at 96.6%. Watching it a third time added nothing. I don't know if that was a fluke or if that happens all the time but anyone needing .1% might try that.

Forgive me if this information is old news but I didn't see anything posted. Although staring at pixilated walls and comparing maps can wear out a person’s poor eyeballs, so maybe I missed it.

How in the WORLD do I get these two spots (circled in red)?

I've scraped against everything I perceive to be close to these, but I'm never quite close enough. :|

I had a problem with that one spot on the right as well. It took a while but I finally managed to make it go away. Try form the bottom edge of the island to the north. If you're still having problems, there's always texmod and the cartography aid for it.
