Maybe you should try rescraping it at a different angle (hold right-click and walk slowly along the wall such that you're always facing it). Some of the little spots are really hard to get to.
Also, if you didn't get any black patches in texmod in Riverside Province, go back and rescrape - it's probably easier than getting the tiny bits there.

I completed the title for Tyria and those areas are not uncovered in my Texmod screen.
Try somewhere else for your needed %
---------
Revision: the upper portion of the area in the first pic can be uncovered. It is not part of the arena. Let me check and I'll be back in a minute.
Ascalon - scrape area from Arena portal to staircase. Should unfog small area.
P.S. And this should go to the Tyria Cartography forum.

I've got cartographer on 3 characters now and they have the same image around the Ascalon Arena as your picture. I never have figured out how to uncover that area but they didn't need it to get the title.
The small corner in the picture is uncovered by going to Regent Valley. It's one of those areas that once one of my characters got it, then the others had to get it too, so I saved a picture.
The other area varies from one character to another and as long as it looks similar to yours then I'm ok with it. It all depends on how much wall they can scrape before the timer runs out and how many times you're willing to go repeat that mission.

For carto questions please go to the forums for the campaings and use the sticky threads. Makes it easier to keep track of questions.
The tyrian thread is at here.
I recently included updated U-maps for the continent to them, you can easily see how they compare to your map.
Those U-maps are about as clean as you can get them and the few unexplored spots are noted in posting 2 in the thread.
As for the spots you marked, I would not bother with them too much.
Some of the tyrian spots can be reached only when walking in the right direction while facing the rigth way. And this can be tricky.
No 3 seems to be the one that can be explored when hugging down from Piken all the way to the wall, at a certain point you can get closer to the Great Wall mission.
If you can't get them look for other spots, there is plenty of ground you don't need to cover before getting TGMC.

OP there must be other spots you are missing! I have 4 characters with 100% of tryria and NONE of them have that unfogged....look to other areas like the bonus of dunes mission...the north part of thk mission etc.... there is well over 100% of tyria to get without doing those small spots....(and believe me I know since my first character did it without the 'mod!)

Hello
it might sound noobish, and when it comes to computers im a Noob in nevery way(lol), i know where to find texmod but my question is when i download it where in my computer (folder) does it go to,also when i try to load the different maps, tyria, can tha and elona it ask me to open, run or save , where im i sippose to save it to if i need to save it or just run it, cause when i go to texmod folder and click the folder Aand then look for the package and hightlight the map i want i double click run, it should start guildwars but it doesnt?, help a computer NOOB!.

I have mine in a folder on my desktop with the maps in the same folder. I run Texmod, click the top "Target application" button and browse to the GW.exe executable and highlight it and click open.
Next I go down to the second box and click the folder icon and browse to where I saved my maps. I highlight the map I am working on and click open and then click the run button and GW runs with texmod loaded.

hahaha, i found another 0.1% and all this while it is hiding behind The Great Norhtern Walls (the mission).
Okay, you will think its the part where all the Charrs are, well NO!
You have to bring a running skill for this, or you won't have enough time. see attached screenshots for a rough idea which part i am talking about.
Other hiding places regarding this mission and its map. When you start, go across the first bridge, hugs left side to go below the bridge and map the right hand side area where it seem like you cannot go down to. but you can. there will be a boss Grawl there too. and lots of pops up devours, low levels becareful.
and then there's that area where the Charrs were having a meeting. only if you are higher level will it be easier to access that area as you have to fight all those charrs there.
Then there's this, it is only accessible after the Charrs spotted you, when you are running towards Captain Callhan, run towards bridge, after Big Door, hug your right hand side and don't cross the bridge, this will lead you below the bridge.
hahahahahahaha 0.3% more

Note: the red lines is a rough one that i drawn on to show where I am talking about since I forgot to take a screenshots.

Let's say the poster is at 99.8/99.9% and posts those 3 spots.
They look easy to reach and are in an easy area. And the only spots he has left are in Mineral Springs (east wall), the top of Thunderhead Keep and the bonus area in Dunes. I would also rather ask how to explore the marked spots instead of going through a lot of trouble to get the last 0.1% elsewere.
To put it harsh, from an explorers point of view the Texmod maps fail.
They show more then 100% and get the job done, that's a fact. But they don't cover the full map that can be uncovered, leaving a lot less margin when someone is only walking the map with Texmod and does not explore outside areas marked by Texmod.
There is one way to help on this subject, Texmod exploration.
That is marking and documenting every spot that Texmod does not show right, so people can be pointed to those spots. It's much more helpfull than saying: "there are other spots to uncover".
I insist on not using texmod
I have lots of fun (although it can be frustrating sometime) to find the last few % on my map, after that, i am going to find the last few % on Cantha and Elona both around 1.5% left. ...
I have 99.7% on Tyria, maybe i should go to mineral spring east walls and see whats over there. I remember i cover that part many times, but you never know.
I have a suggestion that has help me find some of the last % on my maps. While you are doing your new or other characters look out for places that you are not familiar with. That is how I look for mine, and how I discover the Great Northern Walls below the bridge 0.1%. Don't do mapping when you are tired, you will surely miss area behind a wall, under the bridge or places that looks to you like its not reachable, but actually if you turn around or just walk towards it, you will find that it is actually reachable.
