I believe the reason for this is that Tyria and Elona appear to have defined edges that you can clear, meaning that no matter how far a little sliver of land juts out, you can't uncover more than the edges allow you to uncover.

Where as Cantha doesn't, therefore if you don't hit many of those little edges, you won't completely clear the area you are working in.

Really?

...... I found it surprisingly easy to achieve... though there are a few possible factors that made it so:

#1. Canthan character, hence monastary overlook.
#2. Some nice fellow whose alliance owned Eredon Terrace at the time let me into the back area.... and into the mountains... No more details provided.
#3. I'm an experienced PSP (Paint Shop Pro) user, and figured out before I ever read this thread how I was going to determine which spots on the map I hadn't uncovered yet.
#4. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I love uncovering maps... so I was grinding the walls and running into the obscure corners of the map as I went along.

I've got GMC now... at least in part thanks to this thread...
Oddly enough... one of the very last places I found (at around 99.6%) was Vizunah Square Foreign Quarter... mission entry area... Funnily enough I'd just never been that way through Bukdek before (though I'd been right up to the gates inside Vizunah Square mission).

I got it!.

And I was surprised how fast it went. But I am sure only due to this great guide.

Yeah #1 and #2 make Cantha rather simple, especially if you get into Jade Quarry as well. That's why I wouldn't waste my time checking maps for people who had used the exploit to clear that area. If they had that then they shouldn't need any help.

Congrats to our new Grandmasters. Don't forget to rate the thread.

Well, my second GMC after Elona and another one that couldn't have been done without Livingston's great guides.

Wall crawling got me to 99.6, this guide got me to the last .4% - thank you.

Thread rated, by the way.

PS Don't know if it helps, but I got banished with no headgear, two superior runes and an Assassin guildmate. I didn't need to buy all the runes, and my guildmate did nothing special in terms of boosting health or armour. Soon as we hit aggro, I got banished.

Thanks again.

Just finished this one a few minutes ago. 2 out of 3, now I just need to return to the roots and flush out the rest of the 97.4% I have of Tyria.

KOABD here I come!

ZEROBahamut · Feb 14, 2007, 06:59 AM // 06:59

Thanks for all your help mate. awesome post, with this i got the last 0.9%

Thanks heaps for ur help!

Ormiel · Feb 14, 2007, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Hi, I very need GMC of Cantha and I need help. I don't know, where I can find % on map

.
Anyone can help me and scan map?
Thx for your help.

CyberMesh0 · Feb 14, 2007, 11:26 PM // 23:26

The percentage you've completed is displayed in the hero panel, under the Titles tab. Just look for the Canthan exploration title track

NiukNiuk · Feb 23, 2007, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Woohooo !
I finally got this title ! and I'm "kind of a big deal" too ^^

Thanks a lot to Livingston and Shyft The Pyro, their posts were really, really really helpful !

Oh, and I got 100% without completely exploring the jade quarry mission:
I already "explored" it when doing a match several months ago, but I never managed to discovered the three spots that are in shyft the pyro post.
Here's my jade quarry map:
(click)

But I've completely discovered the fort aspenwood area (remember to view the cinematic sequence by asking the Luxon Commander in Luxon Fort Aspenwood outpost ).

Thanks a lot !

/me happy ^^

If you wanted to give me that spiffy looking rollerbettle to show your appreciation, I wouldn't refuse.

Remember guys if you need map checks I offer them on my service thread at the following URL:

And Congratulations to all of our new Grandmaster!

Dutch Masterr · Feb 25, 2007, 01:32 AM // 01:32

right now im at 95.6% and im trying for the shiro part. i have a problem when i get banished though. i bought the shing jea armor and superior runes and he did banish me first. when i got to whereever he banishes you to, i put my other armor on and started to explore. about 10 seconds later i randomly got teleported back to where my party was fighting shiro....couldnt find this in your post and was hoping you could help me

great guide btw.

also....how much of the map does the shiro part get you? i got .2% from it so far.

Livingston · Feb 26, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

It really depends on how close you were to getting another full % point before entering, as the little spots give you around .3%.

If you had the area as clear as possible before being banished, meaning you wall hugged Shiro's main area, then it usually nets .2-.3%. Depending on how close you were to getting another % before you entered.

The reason you were teleported back wasn't random. It means whoever else was in your party killed the Shiroken construct that replaced you. If it's killed, you come back. Thus you need to go in with someone who can keep away from Shiro and the Shiroken while you explore.

Good luck,
Livingston

Maxiemonster · Feb 26, 2007, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Just got my last 0.2%, wouldn't got that without this guide. Kind of A Big Deal now too

Thanks alot Livingstone, I'll check out your Elonian guide too (need 1.2% more), keep up the good work!

Imbui SkinFlayer · Feb 26, 2007, 08:08 PM // 20:08

I would like to give thanks to everyone, especially Livingston for
these threads and maps which aided me in completing these titles.

Many a times you would sit and stare at your map and swear you
had uncovered every minute detail and nothing is left. Then, with
the help of these kind people...You discover just how much you
didn't see.

Hugging walls is Key, so is sitting in a spot a few extra seconds.
Sometimes a little surprise will pop up on your map!

I Will Heal You Ally · Feb 27, 2007, 02:55 PM // 14:55

This guide helped me a lot especially those later maps of the most spots missed. Since it's on the 2nd part of the post most people don't read it and they miss them.

BTW I would like to know how did you get those islands north and south of shiro explored. I never got it fully.

Auron_Fury · Mar 01, 2007, 06:27 PM // 18:27

Concerning fort aspenwood, go to the luxon outpost, talk to the luxon commander and select "watch the cinematic sequence again".
