I brought my character over from Tyria and decided with the introduction of titles I would intricately explore each area with the tenacity of an obsesive cumpulsive crack addict. However, I am now stuck at 91-92% because there are a few zones on the starter island that I cannot get into. The guards say that only "canthans" get the honor of going in these areas. Does this mean no Tyrian can be a grandmaster cartographer in Cantha. Say it so...........

Valerius · May 04, 2006, 05:11 PM // 17:11

yeah that's right

i too wished to become a Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer on my Tyrian Ranger... looks like it's not gonna happen

TheDriftingSoul · May 04, 2006, 09:18 PM // 21:18

In that case, does anyone know what % is obtainable by a player brought over from Tyria??

nStrife · May 05, 2006, 01:18 AM // 01:18

Tyrians CAN get the 100% Title in Cantha. One of the mappers from another forum posted a reply from Anet as well as a screenshot of the title on a Tyrian.

Quote:

...Obviously, we would not want to restrict any character from acquiring high-level titles, items, or access to high-end areas simply because the character was not a native of that chapter. To that affect, we have modified titles accordingly, so that a character can receive a maximum title regardless of restrictions. In answer to your question, areas that Tyrian characters do not have access to in Cantha do not count towards the cartography title, and vis-versa...

um, not sure if im allowed to link

Sorry to revive [only about a week old] but didn't want to start a new topic and get the barrage of 'omg search!'s, so..:

has anyone achieved 100% canthan exploration on a tyrian character?

My ranger [Tyrian] currently has 91.6% of cantha explored..

I want at least my Master title, preferably Grandmaster !!

Juicey Shake · May 23, 2006, 03:48 PM // 15:48

sorry to double post, but, any news on this?

I can't even imagine an area with .1% more than I have now, other than the shing jea mission areas :\

Ozric · May 23, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

I can't remember exactly how and where it happened, but I was in a group and apparently the leader of it was native Canthan. After our mission was over, he forgot to leave the group and ported back to Shing Jung |sp?|. So my Tyrian has that on her map.

Hidden in the Mist · May 23, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

The highest % my Tyrian could get is 92.7%.

TheDriftingSoul · May 23, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Thats what I am now stuck at. :-)

Hidden in the Mist · May 24, 2006, 12:26 AM // 00:26

Update: The max is now 93.5%. Both Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry apply to this title.

I haven't explored Jade Quarry as of yet due to the lack of Luxons willing to fight against us Kurzicks. So the number should be higher.

Leighwyn · May 24, 2006, 04:11 AM // 04:11

Up to 95%...I'm missing some starter island stuff (naturally), Jade Quarry, the Arena Island (again, tyrian racism!).

I really don't see any more possible except for Jade, but I've been trying all day to get in there without success.

Hidden in the Mist · May 24, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Could you provide a High Resolution picture of your map? I'm wondering what I'm missing.

Leighwyn · May 25, 2006, 04:36 AM // 04:36

Zoomed in? Or out. What I have that you might be missing is the Zen Daijun area, which I did while helping a canthan guildmate doing his 15 attribute quest. It's the only no-tyrians-allowed area I've managed to glitch into, though.

That's nothing special. All Tyrian characters can access Seitung Harbor, Shing Jea Monastery, etc. All you have to do is go to Kaineng Docks from the Marketplace, talk to the guy at the end of the pier, and he'll take you to Seitung. From there you can go anywhere on the island other than into Minister Cho's Estate and Zen Daijun.

Juicey Shake · May 25, 2006, 05:11 AM // 05:11

Thanks for the Zen Daijun tip!

And a zoomed out, preferably 1280x960 map would be appriecited. Taken without your HUD displayed would be very nice, too, for sake of making a difference map.

Leighwyn · May 25, 2006, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Here you go. Let me know if Photobucket bandwidth is exceeded and I'll put it somewhere else. 1280x1024 res, also if someone wants a different res reply back and I'll put up another.

Im also still improving the figure, up to 95.5% now since I've posted the map. I think I've completely stalled out though, with the exception of Jade Quarry (if I ever get in).

So, the map I uploaded will have a spot missing in Tahnnakai temple, and another in boreas seabed. Those have since been filled, and added another half a percent to my total.

urbnatr · May 25, 2006, 12:36 PM // 12:36

stuck at 92% and the only things i see that could be it is starter island missions=[

Matrix · May 25, 2006, 12:38 PM // 12:38

Can someone who brought the Tyrian char to Catha and got more then 90 % opened post the pictures of the map. I think i opened everything but i have only 85.4% PLZ

Juicey Shake · May 25, 2006, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Thanks, Leighwyn!

I found the only difference between my map and yours to be the zen daijun area, heh.
