Ok, let me preface this by saying my Canthan monk has competed the Factions storyline through the Kurzick side, killed Shiro, blah-de-blah-de-blah. So, why can't I go to Vizunah Square Foreign? Every time, the gate is closed. What am I dong wrong?

This doesn't really answer your question, but you can tag along with someone doing the "Welcome to Cantha" quest and get in when they talk to Guardsman Chow.

I believe it's because you're a Canthan character... Canthan characters aren't forginers to cantha are they? Foriegn section is for Tyrian/Elonian characters... Just like Tyrian/Elonian characters shouldn't be able to access the local quarters . Hope i explained that ok...

As for being able to tag along with someone with the 'welcome to cantha quest' I don't think that would work either. Far as i know it'll put them in the outpost but you'll be left standing outside the gate in the explorable area.

-that said i'm not 110% sure as i rarely play factions, played the storyline once on a Tyrian character and i haven't been back since-

GuildWiki notes that after a certian mission (N. Quarter?) you should be able to run in if you just run there, yea, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been patched and noone has went back to the page and corrected it.

GuildWiki's pages have a habit of not getting updated with minor stuff like that, anda habit of getting OVEReditted with stupid stuff.

Example: There was a page where someone was rewording a sentence over and over again (that sentence was different every day), yet the page contained an error due to the updates...that wasn't editted out for a week.

I've done Vizunah Local and Nahpui both. The gate is still closed. Would anyone else be willing to check with their Canthan that's finished the game and see if you can get in? It's possible it's been patched and we weren't told of the patch.

I found the problem. I had Masters on Nahpui, but I had expert on Vizunah Square (Local). I got together a group and got Master's on (Local), ran to (Foreign) from Kaineng and voila! Open Sesame! You need master's on Vizunah Local. It's not enough to have simply gone through it and gotten standard or expert.

I got expert in Vizunah Local with my Canthan war and walked right into Foreign. It also had the Expert completion logo upon my walking in.

EDIT: This was after completing the game, so that may have something to do with it.

I don't think that's it. I got Expert on Vizunah Local with Hinata and she got into Vizunah Foreign just fine. Kurenai did even worse, and I'm pretty sure she could get in too...

I speak more from word of mouth than fact, but as I understand it aNet made it so if you have other quests you won't be able to enter into Vizunah square. So if you abandon or finish off any excess quests you should be able to get in. If I was at home I would confirm for you. Perhaps I will try later tonight and post results.

Agreed. I don't think Masters is necessary. My rit was able to enter Vizunah Foreign without having Masters on Local (she currently only has Expert). And I was able to enter Foreign before completing the game so that doesn't seem to be a deciding factor either even though the current info on the GuildWiki claims it is.

The only thing different between attempts 1-3 and attempt 4 was the fact that I went back and got Master's on Vizunah Local.

I was just adding that in case anyone could use the info to decipher this mystery. I don't have a clue what it is, so I figured any information may be of some use :P
