I realise the Jade Query mission is intended for humans to play against one another to earn faction, but due to the fact that no one EVER plays that mission it makes it impossible for explorers to reach Grandmaster.

Im stuck on 99.4% and I know for fact there are sections in there Ive missed, but I am unable to get back in.

Ive asked guild members to help, but they dont.
Ive asked in capital cities, but no one will play it.
Ive stood there waiting for an hour. Days at a time.

We need henches to allow you to enter that mission, or the option to either play against henches with henches instead of humans.

As for the Shiro mission, can they not make a path round to the sections that you need to explore to the top.

Ive been banished there, but im still missing a section that I cant get to unless Im bannished to a different part. But Shiro only bannishes my ele to the same place.

Henchies won't be able to handle Jade Quarry, due to the split requirements of the map.

If you actually *tried* to go to Jade Quarry on a regular basis, you would know that it's actually done quite frequently. You just have to go during peak times for your server. I've made at least 40k faction from Quarry, people *do* play it.

Ive honestly been back and forth to the Jade Query every day, all week.

As for quarry, I've gotten in on America servers, just find the more common times and wait (get some friends to help).

There is only one place you get banished to (I believe this was addressed in the Mapping thread where you also posted this if i'm not mistaken). You just need to be more thorough in your exploration when you get banished there.

As for Jade Quarry - if there's nobody there, don't sit there for an hour waiting! Go do something more productive and check back in-between activities. I've seen some *cough* clever individuals go to more populated cities and strategically insult each side to manipulate people into going to Jade Quarry... you could always try a creative approach like that.

Started in english district and went to spanish, german and french and basically shouted at them to go into English.

Actually... if you have 4 in english luxon and 4 in german luxon will they combine to be the 8 you need for luxon side? Or do they need to be in the same distrcit?

How about we organize a massive jade quarry fort aspenwood etc day, so that we can all map those places and have a little fun pvp? :-x just an idea though

There are actually 2 banishment spots. The first the human players are sent to, and the other which has no spirit enemies is where the henchies are sent when they are banished. Can only get to 1 though :/ If henchies can get there we should be allowed to also..

I can help you with the banish problem...

It was actually the piece I needed to reach 100% canthan

When he banishes you, you can map a small bit of the east side of the mountain you have to climb...

Heres the strange part...

Keep climbing up the mountain, and hug the right wall as you do it.
As you start to move higher up the mountain, you get closer to the west side and moving farther from the little bit you're trying to reach...

As you move farther west and up the mountain, keep hugging the right wall, and you should open a small bit of map to the LEFT of the banish mountain...

The thing is- when you open that left piece, the piece wraps around the top of north side of the mountain and spreads to the right of it...

Just like that, you've cleared the banishment mount.

sorry if someone has posted this as i have not read all the pages

but a simple fix to this would be not to let hecnhmen into the mission but to open the gates in the outposts so if your enter from the kurzick side you can explore the whole map with the luxon gate being shut and if you enter the luxon side the gate would be open but the kurzick gate would be shut

this would let you explore anytime and not wait for ages to get a game or beg people to join

Or a slightly simple solution would be for areana net to instantly reveal the areana when you enter the challenge outpost.

You just have to hug the top part of the main banishment point.

"All Kurzicks are Cowards"
"That's why you don't play the Jade Quarry"
"You're all scared you'll get beat"
"Luxons Rule"

...then the same in Cavalon...

"All Luxons are Cowards"
"That's why you don't play the Jade Quarry"
"You're all scared you'll get beat"
"Kurzicks Rule"

I've never tried it before but it sounds like fun!
