Well other than advise to wall hug like crazy i'm not sure. I remember going up and down the same wall for ages and different angles many times, took ages before I finally got it><

looks like part is gotten by scraping inside Jade Quarry...Not so fun scraping in a "PvP" map but yeah...

And of course if you haven't done so already grab the area behind eradon terrace (hope I spelled that right)

Edit: Another part is in the Nahpui Quarter Explorable...that spot was just a bit hard to get to but it's there.

I'm not sure if it applies in this case, but there are some spots that you can only get at by wall-hugging.

But seriously folks, wall-hugging inside towns/outposts, I mean. For example, those areas by Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry might be gotten by exploring within the towns themselves.

your not scraping enough or your not scraping properly. use wsad and always run at an angle towards the wall, not parallel with the wall. sometimes you'll have to go really slowly or even rock back and forth.

no offense, but apparently you don't. none of those are "trick" or "glitch" spots of any kind. apparently you can't even mark your map properly either, because i see a spot that you need that is not circled. all i can say is scrape slower.

Where is this spot? Normally this TexMod plugin is very correct.
And can you tell me where to scrape the spot in the Jade Quarry? Because I scraped everything there, and didnt get this spot.

Check the Cantha carto sticky in the Factions sub forum.
The first page has all the frequently missed spots and how to explore them.
I think two of yours are also in there.
Solid squares in texmod indicate that the part is most likely not explorable, texmod isn't perfect.

If you're looking for directions like "exit here, go left, walk 5 steps ...", I don't think you're going to get them. I, for one, certainly can't remember how I got to every niggling little spot on the map. Take, for example, the area you've marked to the west of Wajjun Bazaar. What can we tell you other than to go as far west as you can and scrape carefully, being sure to include areas further north or south than you think could possibly work?

The block above and east of Nahpui Quarter outpost can only be reduced by about half. But I can't recall whether this is done by scraping the southeast side of Wajjun (south of the Undercity portal or northish from the Nahpui Quarter entrance) or the southwest side of Xaquang Skyway (in the burned area where the vermin hang out).

I have 100% and I have never been in JQ and have mapped far less of FA than you have, so there should be a lot of places where you can pick up .2%.

This.

We have a sticky specifically for Cartography help, and I'll bet every single one of your spots has been asked in the last 2-3 pages of the thread.

Got it now thanks to the_jos
Who would have thought that "16. This spot is cleared by asking the Luxon Commander in Luxon Fort Aspenwood outpost to Replay the mission cinematic." watching a cinematic again is necessary...

did you do the glitch in Maishang Hills? where you follow that guy out of Eredon Terrace then let him go back "into the zone" then Ebon Escape him to get behind the zone, making it so you can map out a bugged area of Erodon Terrace without being inside the "outpost"



http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Eredon_Terrace

Bug.If your guild owns the town there is a break in the wall and you can leave the town.

this is what im talking about, but its possible from Maishang Hills with ebon escape.


Wish i could find a post or thread about it, i know ive seen one..

I found my last 0.2% in the Amatz basin outpost - I used a TeXmod map for most of Cantha and got all bar a smidge around Amatz.

I scraped (feeling like a fool in front of the few there) and voila - I got the title! I guess the hint I'm trying to give is:- revisit the outposts you think you've cleared and scrape again (behind henches and the chest being the favourite places) and don't get hung up on the Jade Quarry - I've still got about 3% uncovered there I guess my Legendary Carto must be a fake.
