Livingston's Guide to becoming a Grandmaster Canthan Cartographer! (No Map Checks)

Congratulations to RossMM.

Don't forget to rate the thread.

To chugaboy:

Post #2 of this thread describes what you need to do if you still cannot get the title from using my maps. You need to head over to the "100% Canthan Map Discussion and Help" and post the screenshots of your maps there, exactly as i have described in post #2.

From there, me, Leighwyn, and Shyft the Pyro will help you with the rest that you need, though 99.9% of the time we simply point out spots that are already marked on my maps, and you simply haven't been able to notice the difference between your spots and the fully cleared spots on my maps.

Ugh I've spent ages trying to find the last .2% only to find out about the arena on Shing Jea Island. I didn't even have to walk anywhere, instant .2%.

Finally finished Cantha. I've left a thread rating.

Sweet, congrats.

Livingston

No no no. Thank you for making this a little bit easier.

Great thread! Thanks for taking the time to document this!
I have 100% of Tyria and have decided to finally do Cantha too.
(Obviously I forgot the pain from the first time.)
I'm over 85% of Cantha now, and don't have enough faction to get into the Hatchery to do the rest of the Luxon area. I have a few foggy places in the city, but those won't be much problem. Once I get all the obvious spots, I'll finish out the Luxon side.

For those that don't know, this title is very hard to get. Unfortunately, the only people that realize the pain, time, and dedication it takes to get the title are the ones that actually have the 100% title.
95% is impressive, but you don't know PAIN until you get the last 5%.
When I notice someone in town with the 100% title, I always send them a whisper and tell them "congrats!".

Here's something of note to anyone working on the title...
The other night I was helping a friend get his new character through Cantha, when we got to the gate of Vizunah Square (Local). My character is Tyrian so I was going to log out and get a Canthan character to help him with the mission. He went into town before I could log out, and my Tyrian was able to get into Local! I didn't think this was possible, but I got a lot of missing map by doing this.
So, for those that don't know, now you do.

Anyway...Thanks, Livingston and all those that contributed to the thread. I'll finish Cantha much faster with the information here.

DiceX, when you entered the Local with your Tyrian char, were there any henchies with you, or were you alone with your friend?
Beside, was it the 1st time for him to get to the Local quarter (meaning he had to speak with the Guard) or was it just like this (going through the gates for you friend).

It was only he and I with 6 henchmen.
It was his first time with this particular Canthan character. My character was Tyrian, but had already completed Factions.
He got to the gate, talked to the guard, and I went in the outpost with him.
I was able to enter the mission with him and henchmen as well. (25 seconds away from masters. )

I used that to get my assassin into the local Vizunah as well. You need someone with the quest to escort you in, and then you can go to it like a normal outpost.

Finally made it!!! Time for a Victory Dance!

Many thanks to Livingston!

Just saying thanks for this. I got the last 1% yesterday.

thanks everyone!!

Okay, so to enter Vizunah local, we just need to go with a Canthan mate who has the quest, so he can be teleported, with my Tyrian character, to the outpost.
Great

Also to let everyone know that a Tyrian char can get grandmaster in Canthan. My advice to anyone trying for this title is to read all the posts and use every bit of info no matter how many times u checked a spot, if some one post they found a little fog in a area go check it out. Thanks again to all who posted in this forum

Thanks to everyone that showed up now and mapped the Quarry.
You get about .6% from it.
Thanks Levingston to the wonderful guide and for your help to others. This is very big of you. /bow
You guys can pm anytime when you need fillers.

Thanx to everyone for the help provided, i finally got my title!

Thanks for writing this guide, I went from 99.4% to all 100%!

Awesome ^_^

Congratulations to Flex, Boxterduke, Arx, and Ariena.

Keep them coming guys.

Also let me know what your percentage was before using my guide. It's interesting to see how much people get using it.

Livingston

Great Guide mate.



Helped me get that last 2%. The maps with the areas circled are excellent but I found LuXa's especially helpfull in getting that last 0.3% I just could not get. I downloaded the trial version of photoshop and was a snap from there.

Congrats. ^_^

Just curious. When you used LuXa's method for the last 0.3%, were those last areas in spots that I had circled on my maps that you hadn't noticed, or were they in other parts of the map?
