If you are scraping an area and do no see fog disappearing, do not worry; you are stil getting percentage points. The second time through, I scraped all the areas that I vanquished so as to keep track of the areas I'm absolutely sure I've finished.

I'm sorry to say, but if you may to either rescrape areas you aren't sure about or compare really hard to other maps and hope you find the areas that need to be revealed.

i'm going for the title and i have like 96.4% so far. i've been looking over didnt places for help with this title. one question of three i questions i have about the title is about the challenge missions. so many sites/people say i need it/dont need it/or it only gives you so many % so its not workt doing. so i'm wondering so i really need jade quarry? and my second question is how much % does the boardwalk give? and my last question my char is from elona so do the spots canthan only char get are they needed or will hurt my chance for the title?

There's not really any spots that are canthan-only, since you can get the overlook part in boardwalk event.

on gw002, watch the cutscene for Luxon Aspenwood, you should uncover a huge chunk of blackspot. (should actually get you 100%).

on gw001, wait till next festival.

Has already been posted before, BUT I still did not manage to uncover these areas...

Exploring from the Undercity isn't possible (Anymore?), The circles obviously indicate the spots I need, and the lines correspond with the walls I've hugged to try and uncover the circle in the same color.

I'm clueless on both, because for the square:

-> I've wallhugged EVERY surrounding wall, aswell as the "known" box. (In Skyway, the small box where U can walk next to) Even tough it did uncover a bit more than I did have before, It still left the current small square there, and I have no idea how to get it.

As for the other spot:

I've hugged in Shenzun, Skyway, and I'm also totally clueless on this one. I'm pretty sure that both are "bugged", as in it will probably a wall that is "far" away, but will still uncover that area. (Pretty much defeating the purpose of "Carthographing", as this simply is finding a totally random spot, which happens to uncover that part of the map, but I won't start on Anet's bad coding when it comes down to the map, I just want these spots uncovered

)

Ty in advance

You can't get those anymore because they used to be explorable from the Undercity, but Anet changed that so you can't explore it anymore. You don't need them. (and it seems you already stated it).

#1 -- I believe the part on the east side can be gotten by scraping down in the swamps. Start exploring from the Altrumm Ruins outpost. Scraping up the west side might also get you the bit north of Arborstone, unless that can be gotten from inside the outpost.

#2 -- Did you view the mission cinematic from the Kurzick side of Unwaking Waters?

#3 -- It looks like you're a non-Factions character, since you don't have Vizuneh Local on the map. Go to the Marketplace and join a native group running "Mayhem in the Market", which will allow you to enter the local quarter.

@WARPATh

I know these have been answered by the above poster, but..

#1, exit from Altrumm Ruins, it gives you access to the lower swampy area.

#2, Exit from Harvest temple, fight your way all the way there.

#3, above poster :P Make sure you have Zen Daijun complete.

Watching mission cinematics in the Kurzick and Luxon areas actually clears parts of the map for some strange reason. You don't actually have to enter the mission, just talk to the NPC in the outpost and get the briefing cinematic. I think that will solve your problem for Unwaking Waters.

WARPATh,

On page 1 you will find the spots marked on the map posted in #3.
It's nr 11 and 12 on that map.
In #4 it is stated that the spots are explored at NW corner of Unwaking Waters explorable.

It's one of the frequently missed spots so it might be somewhat hard to reach.

Hey, does anyone know how to uncover these black areas?

I've tried scraping in Vizunah Square and Shenzun Tunnels to no avail.

I'm not sure were you get the bottom square, but for the top one, you have to hug the wall there after that second big afflicted battle.

^ If you had the quest Song and Stone, it would lead you there. Also there might be a little part where you have to hug from leaving Tanglewood Copse to Arborstone explorable.

Para , that was one of the last pieces i got to finish mine off and it was a pain to find. I cant be sure but i'm fairly certain I left from Altrumm and got into the water just north of the Arborstone Mission area and followed the water route up and around arborstone going south to roughly level with the center of the town then doubled back north .

I achieved Legendary Cartographer yesterday with the help of this guide and the other expansion's guides. I would also like to thank Secksy Rican for going with me to be banished.

THANK YOU!!!

I believe the bottom square is from exiting during a cutscene. I have that part mapped Also. (and a similar thing in sanctum cay)

@babyfoxx: read OP, don't post titles here.

Sito,

I think it's explored from the misison outpost and not the mission itself.
