Tried it...no good...=-/

Update: Got the title a few days back, forgot to post it here hehe. Seems as though Elona Cartographer is more "forgiving" than Cantha.

Did you read the FAQ that begins this thread? That's what it's there for -- to tell you what you need to know. The answer is: yes, you really need to map this area. You can search this forum for tips on mapping it.

yes i did read it. i also know that you dont have to do facs challenge missions to get 100%.

i was hoping i could just wall hug the last percentage for the title. and i yes i have been using the tips for the challenge but they dont help i still die before door opens or after it opens.

and a simple yes you do their's no way around would have okay. you didnt have to be rude.

Just play the mission like regularly, and explore while killing the maddened dudes. Eventually all doors will open. When that happens just continuously move and use the speed boost when its ready. When the maddened spirits get too close, quickly rezone (if you are going for survivor) or just die. and then redo the process.

Thank you very much for the maps. I was at 99.8% and couldn't find the rest. Was shocked to see that I had quite a few bits more uncovered on my map until I saw that the map was done by an Elonian character! lol..that's 0.8% they didn't have to find elsewhere!

So happy! Legendary Cartographer!

I'm attempting Cartography Title. I have texmod and there seems to be a problem for me. I can't get into exploring this certain area, the creator of the map for Elona has a lil-note saying how to explore it but it is impossible? Please someone enlighten me and tell me how I can explore that lil part. Thank you

Take one of these quests to travel to Elona and watch the cutscene:

From Tyria
Take the quest Sunspears in Kryta from Lionguard Figo in Lion's Arch.
From Cantha
Take the quest Sunspears in Cantha from Imperial Guardsman Linro in Kaineng Center.

I have this area mapped with a Canthan char, so it is possible. Guess you have to do it this way. If you have already done one of the quests, try if you can do the other and watch the cutscene.

Also note, it is not necessary to have everything mapped to get 100%, so you might be able to get away without the starter island mapped.

"This area can only be mapped during the new character tutorial".

You can only map that part if you create a Nightfall character and chose the tutorial option from Kormir instead of the much faster, skip tutorial option. It is not needed to reach 100% elona cartographer however so just go try to map other areas you have missed.

okay, thanks a lot for the quick replies. I will map other areas and hope I won't need those parts. =D

You definitely don't need the tutorial area to get Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer. It helps, of course, but isn't needed.

For the record, wall scraping the outpost will help get some map uncovered, as will using something like Necrotic Traversal or Consume Corpse during the mission to get onto the boats.

This. I had just about every nook and cranny scraped, and nothing was left on my texmod, but I was still .1% off. Necrotic transversial onto the boat near the boss got me that last bit (that wasn't in texmod).

Textmod is a third party program you run that "mods" your guildwars. (Don't worry, it's perfectly alright with A-Net.) You install small mods and it colors your map differently so you can see where you've explored and where you haven't. Very effective. You can download Textmod (http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/mod...oad/texmod.zip) and you can get the mods for the cartographer title (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide...I_enhancements).

Good luck. Textmod helped me get my first maxed out title. Legendary Cartographer ftw.

J!
Dude!
Surprised to see you on here, but a nice surprise

I'm presuming you've done most of the bonus mission? where you get chased by the ghosts? open all four areas in there and that should do it.

My gosh, those are all great but I can't get ANY of them. Sitting at 99.8% is really grating on my nerves. The black spots will not uncover for me. I'm still missing the tiny areas around Blacktide Den, so getting the blackspots there is out of the question.

And the small area above Pogahn Passage is still grey, so no blackspot there either.

Can anyone offer any help?

EDIT: Although I still didn't get any blackspots I did get 100%. Thanks for the guides!

I only can see 2 spots that you can get or remember how to get :P

Yellow is where to hug. And most of the spots you circled are spots that you already have or spots you can't get.

Not sure how to get to these areas. My character comes from Prophecies, so I know I can't get to the new character area. But is there a way to re-do the cutscene when traveling to Elona?

The first one, you need to travel through the portal from both sides. As odd as this sounds, it registers differently.

The second, join in the party of someone doing one of the Prophecies/Factions quests going to Elona. The cutscene will play again.

I wasn't sure if this was the right place for this but I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get these two spots:

The circled areas

I've tried but cannot figure out how to get them :/

I've found plenty of those little areas, especially in Elona and they're not needed for 100% although they can... somehow... be uncovered. But don't worry about it

Ahh cartographer.. So much fun... not. I agree with above. I'm sure I got that area from within the Blactide mission. The other.. Sorry. So many spots to remember..

If I remember correctly, the top one needs careful scraping from Cliffs of Dohjok. Not sure on the second
Careful movements, like rotating back and forth sometimes catches those hard to reach areas

^

For the little line, you have to explore it from Pogahn Passage (mission). You have all the time you want while you are in your disguise.

For the one on the bottom, do you remember where the Kournan commander was for the bonus in Consulate Docks (mission)? Well you have to hug around the walls around that area. You can do this while doing Pogahn Passage as well.

Correct. Both of those spots can be uncovered during Poghan Passage. Also, if you're down to scraping tiny bits like that one, you may be interested in upgrading to the newest version of the mod. It has several new places you may have missed. And it's a lot cleaner map, too.
