It's not essential but like Bill Easternview said you'll most likely need the Shing Jea starter area (don't forget Shing Jea Arena, even if you only scrape the outpost itself and not the actual arena). Personally I managed to get Canthan GMC with the following totally missing; Vizunah Square (Local Quarter) outpost, the banishment area on the Imperial Sanctum mission and the entire Jade Quarry. I had a couple of Luxon alliance member only areas from back in my AB days but I doubt they contributed much. Just make sure you scrape everywhere fully.

Exclamation Monastery Overlook is currently accessible!!!

That Festival thing is happening this weekend.

Get that area mapped while you can.

Quick and easy, just go to ShingJea Monastery and ask for the Boardwalk Games

Just wondering, is it possible to FULLY explore that little triangle-place in Shing-Jea stater area. Cause in TC fish's map he somehow did it and for every 0.1% I explored, he explored the SAME place but with a 0.2% more.

I know that sounds really stupid but how do you get to defog that area (circled in red)? I tried from Nahpui mission and explorable, no luck. It does not seem accessible from Xaquang skyway (near the vermins) either. I must be stupid or something but I hate exploring Cantha, that place is like a maze



Thanks to anyone who could enlighten me.

Just wondering if anyone knows how much area opens up when you get Banished? I have a character from NiteFall who is at 99.2% right now. I have a friend thats going to help me tonight with The Imperial Sanctum Mission so I can get Banished to open up that little bit thats left there. I think I will only get .3% at the most, which still leaves me .5% left.

I have tab between maps and found a few areas that I have cleaned up already. But now the only one I can see left is where I get banished. Also is there anyone still checking maps that would be willing to help this old timer get his Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer Title. If so just let me know what you need from me as far as a map pic and I'll put up as soon as I can.

Thanks

I've really got to say this. Livingston thank you so much!! ^^ I achieved my Canthan Grand Master Cartographer thanks to your guide! before using the guide, I got as far as 99.2% but then I spend days and days trying to find what's left but I couldn't find a thing so I kinda gave up on the tittle for like a month, until I came across your guide. It helped me see quickly what I was missing. though it still wasn't easy because I was missing some very small details. still honestly, if it weren't for you and your guide. I believe I would still be stuck, even though I was almost done. once again man. thank you very much!! =D

Ran around there a bit tonight, could not seem to remember where the center part is captured from, but the east side of the circled area is from Xaquang Skyway, and the west side is from Wajjun Bazzar (lower level). Been too long since I did that area I guess, sorry.

The Banishment Area is I believe about 0.2%, maybe a bit more. It is easy to get if you have another player who can run around and play "keep away from shiro" while you get banished. First human player to approach shiro is never banished, so with two players let the other person approach first and you will get banished. The other person then must avoid getting killed while you bump your nose into the walls. My monk was able to heal faster than the spirits could damage him, so was able to map the banishment area at leisure.

I have been doing some map checks, but most people seem to be mapping Tyria at the moment. If you post a map please do it at 1024x768, 1280x1024 or 1680x1050.

Good Luck

Well Bill you are right I only got .2% when I got Banished. But there still seems to be a little cloudy area still thats not completly uncovered yet. which may get me .1% at most. But my buddy couldn't stick around long last night as he had a list of Honey Do's to do.
I look at some of the maps you help people on. So I hope this is what you need, if not let me know. This is the most recent shot at 99.4%. Thanks for all your help. If there is ever anything you need help with in game PM me. As I'm one of the last of my Clan Mates that still plays Guild Wars. So now I just work on my titles for GW2 and waiting for GWEN.

Thumbs up

Congrats Beer Run...

Most of my Guild is also not playing atm, waiting for the last module, or GW2. About all I am doing is working on titles, reasonable ones anyway. Master Drunkard is how many minutes drunk...???

So lets all help out our fellow mappers in finishing their titles before they loose interest in these games.

Not sure exactly what area you are talking about, in the Monastery itself, or just on the island?

Attached is a high res map of much of the island, centered on the monastery, this shows what I was able to find on that part of the island for my 100% map.

And yes, this map is at a very odd size...

tripplesix,

1.1% can be spread out over a lot of regions, as you will see on the attached map.

Good Luck
