like in tryia are there any arenas that can add to your exploration rank (except shing jea arena) by going RA?

No

And fighting in Tyrian arenas hasn't added to your exploration in who knows how long, anyway.

Greetings,

Well, I'm not sure if it's what you're asking for, but here's what I've figured out:

* Battle Isles (Great Temple of Balthazaar et al) does add to exploration titles from what I've heard. I have not, personally, tested this out, so perhaps others can confirm or deny this.
* Certain non-required missions do add to exploration title for Cantha. The ones I'm aware of are both the Kurzick and Luxon sides of Fort Aspendwood and Jade Quarry, the Kurzick challenge Amatz Basin, and the Luxon challenge Aurious Mines. Dragon's Throat, while a challenge mission, doesn't have a map so isn't counted as part of the exploration title.
* While the actual battle maps of the Shing Jea arena may not count, the actual arena outpost itself does.

There is also a stickied thread in this forum, titled Livingston's Guide to becoming a Grandmaster Canthan Cartographer! that should help you out with the more common questions about Cantha exploration.

Hope this helps out.

Merry meet, merry met, merry meet again,

No they don't as they aren't actually considered to be a part of Tyria or Cantha.

This is true, though they aren't considered to be arenas.

This is true as well, but he did say besides the one in Shing Jea.
