I just got to 99% on my Cartography title. There are a few areas I just can't comprehend on how to explore these areas! Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks.

Well, the one outside of Shing Jea needs to be done during the events of the boardwalk, like the Canthan New Year. As for the part of the Jade Sea, you need to map those in the Jade Quarry. As for the 3rd part, the one in the Vizunah Square mish, you need to scrape a whole lot to get that. Either in Vizunah or the area south (can't remember the name of it)

You can just use the shadow stepping way to uncover it whenever you want.

There is a trick to get behind whatever luxon outpost is up in the mountains in the far north east. You need to be kurzick and have a shadow stepping skill. What you do is you go outside, talk to the priest at the res shrine, and tell him to fight you. Target the merchant while NOT killing him, and as soon as he is a reasonable distance through into the outpost shadow step to him. You will now be on the inside of the outpost as an explorable area. I forget exactly what you do now, but basically you can walk up onto some ledge while in there, and from that place explore the area BEHIND the outpost, getting you about 0.8% I think from memory, it might be significantly more.

That is, assuming you haven't done that yet.

EDIT:
Uh yeh what the guy below me said. He has a link too, and seems to write it out better :P

The town in question is Eredon Terrace. Info here -

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gran...tography_guide

Scroll about halfway down to the section on cantha then for eredon terrace. I killed everyone except the merchant. Then wait for the merchant to run through the portal - note that he doesn't teleport/rezone through the portal like you would, he just runs through. You don't want to run through or rezone, just wait until he's on the other side. I used necrotic traversal - once he was inside I killed him with a bow from outside, then used necrotic traversal to go to his body. You can also shadow step, etc. Once you get behind the portal, there's a large area to explore that's called "the end of the world". You can see it in the lower right of thgis image -

Biggest hint for Elona is not to forget the Remains of Salahja.
