I just tried your suggestions, but these I either cant seem to find or cant trigger:

Quote:
-the docks south of kaineng center
-aurios mines, enter the mission and go to the spot where the opposite team starts, theres a tiny spot you can uncover there (in the rather small area, youll see when you notice the gates) Anyway, at 99,2% now, so any additional tips would be very much appreciated!

Why thank you

It's what I did in Tyria, back when there wasn't even a cartography title. I'm crazy like that

However, I have been banished a number of times today and I cant seem to get more than that. You're missing:

-parts of the "mountain spot" west of Tsumei Village;
-SW corner of Zen Daijun (accessible through Unwelcome Guest quest only);
-east wall of Haiju Lagoon;
-east wall of Vizunah Square mission;
-north wall of Imperial Sanctum (Shiro's banishment area);
-east wall of Shenzun Tunnels;
-all of Altrumm Ruins mission;
-north wall of Ferndale;
-NE corner of Fort Aspenwood battle area (Luxon side);
-west wall of Jade Quarry battle area;
-SW corner of Saint Anjeka's Shrine outpost (behind henchies);
-SW corner of the Eternal Grove explorable;
-NE corner of Morostav Trail;
-NE corner of Mourning Veil Falls;
-east wall of Archipelagos;
-north wall of Rhea's Crater.

I'm guessing part of the problem you're having is the fact that you've turned up your brightness. The ALT+TAB comparison to Leighwyn's map was hurting my eyes and making it hard to concentrate on the minor changes because of the glaring layer of whiteness that covers your map when compared to his. I'd suggest turning your brightness back down at least until you get the title. I may have missed some spots because of this.

EDIT: Didn't see your last two posts because they showed up on the new page. Ignore all parts of the above that are no longer relevant.

I need help, though, to find those last 0.2% with my Ritualist. If someone could help me...I did a bit of Frankstein with my map (I glued almost everything together, but it looks horrible : P), and here it is:





(It's not at the same size of the one posted here - I zoomed my map to 112% and then they would have the same size.)

And Pyro, about the 100% unfogged map, I have sent it to a friend (who, unlike me, has a scanner), he will send me the images anytime now. I'll show you them when they arrive.

It's not the end of the world because the world contains people other than you

What you should do is the same thing you do to get into the Local quarter of Vizunah Square with a Tyrian character: help a Canthan do the quest. Once you advertise something along the lines of "Level 20 Tyrian X/Y helping anyone do quest Z" you should have plenty of invites

In the case of Unwelcome Guest, make sure to take a hench or two for support, just in case the Canthans are not interested in mapping locked areas after completing their 15 attribute point quest. Chances are you'll have to get henchies, unless you happen upon a 5/6 team waiting for a 6th. All you really need is a single Canthan with the right quest to talk to the NPC, so if you're not keen on waiting you could just grab 4 henchies and start off as soon as you find the one guinea PUG

It's guaranteed to stay up for 21 days even without any downloads (as opposed to being deleted in 7 days if you use yousendit.com) and doesn't count against a download limit the way RapidShare does.

The difference in coloration is due to cloud cover, and I encountered the same thing when trying to stitch together my complete map of Tyria. You should switch to comparing Leighwyn's map to your "U" window as he recommends, or to screenshots of your "U" window if your PC can't handle ALT+TAB into an active GW.

I'll give it a shot, but I might miss some spots because of the above. You're still missing:

-parts of the "mountain spot" west of Tsumei Village;
-SE corner of Haiju Lagoon;
-east wall of Haiju Lagoon;
-north wall of Jaya Bluffs;
-north wall of Raisu Palace;
-NW corner of Shenzun Tunnels;
-the "farmland" east of Maatu Keep? (obscured by cloud shadow);
-NW corner of Sunjiang District explorable;
-east wall of Archipelagos;
-SW corner of Melandru's Hope.

My eyes may hurt, but the promise of a truly fully uncovered map of Cantha is worth it

I think he was just going to send me an e-mail with the attachments I'll upload the files myself, don't worry.

Quote: That is the Tahnnakai Temple explorable, which you enter backwards from Zin Ku Corridor. In fact, at least one "leading" quest that requires you to talk to the Emperor has you walk into that zone.

If you still haven't noticed, one of the nicer features of Factions is that you can reenter mission areas without having to redo the mission. In more than one case, you will uncover areas unreachable within the mission (Zen Daijun and Nahpui Quarter spring to mind, with Nahpui Quarter seeming to actually be two separate zones). Make sure you bring henchies with you if you plan to map it though: the Tahnnakai Temple only contains NPCs in the area that coincides with the mission path; beyond that, you will have to fight through hostiles.

You might also have to make two trips, since the west and east walls of the area don't seem to link up altogether. There is also one quest in the explorable Tahnnakai Temple, but it is very far and seems to be fickle, with a currently unknown trigger if you believe the GuildWiki page. The quest showed up just fine for both my characters who went to get it, though both of them had already completed the game at that point.

In the post #445 above I described precisely how you do it: help a Canthan character who has the quest that lets you enter the Local quarter get there, and then have that character talk to the guardsman. If you do not have the right quest in Factions, all gates will be closed to you.

alright, been comparing maps now, tons of them, and realised i cant find anything anymore, no matter how close i look. im taking the main parts will be in the forest since i only found ONE spot there (which i couldnt even uncover..)

currently at 99%

again, any help will be greatly appreciated :P

Shing Jae #1

Shing Jae #2
Shing Jae #3
Shing Jae #4

City #1
City #2
City #3
City #4
City #5

Sea #1
Sea #2
Sea #3
Sea #4
Sea #5
Sea #6

Forest #1
Forest #2
Forest #3
Forest #4
Forest #5

hope this was the last time someone had to compare my maps o.o

i noticed i miss those two spots;

some tiny bit of Shiros Banishment north
and some point at Aspenwood, starting from the Kurzick side on the left

*and of course the two spots you can only access if you are a member of the alliance that controls Eredon or Breaker, which i aint, and couldnt even find someone that lets me in for 5 mins so i can uncover them ;( sigh*

^cant get any of them :/

Arch of Triumph: theres a tiny spot in the explorable Tahnabla temple thing you can uncover, i just noticed when comparing my map with yours. gl with getting it since the area is evil ;( (see city #4)
also, the left side of Jade Quarry, you can get the green islands there. GL with finding a team vv

skretth: the mountain south of Tsumei
some islands west of Ran Musu
North-west corner of Minister Cho
some part of the beach north of Zen Daijun, can get it from where the Ritualist Boss is on the little island in the water

tiny bit in the east corner of the green part in the Aurios Mines mission
Gyala Hatchery can use some hugging, seems like there are a couple of spots you miss on both sides
the rather big island south of Cavalon (the right one), where the monk boss appears, wallhug a bit there and youll find something
Jade Quarry, parts of the green land on the left

and thats it already :/ cant find more. you should take the screenshots from 'U' and compare them to another map as Shyft has pointed out a few times now, thats gonna help a lot. eventually you'll get stuck again, but meh :/

*goes back to comparing her own map *

oh btw, gratz sickkk :P
My eyes may hurt, but the promise of a truly fully uncovered map of Cantha is worth it Ha ha. You know, I would have given it to you even if you hadn't helped me But I don't want to get your hopes TOO high - the map has all the marks (the name of the cities and etc, although the city marks look a bit different) and it isn't on the best zoom possible - it's in between the zero zoom map (the one a few people posted here asking for help, and that cannot be used for anything at all) and the zoomed M map in game (like the screenshots I posted above). You can still see some details (ok, many details), but it's not perfect.

The reason I suggested megaupload.com is because a single, merged file of the map would probably exceed the attachment limit on email, but since your friend is going to just scan it in and not merge the pieces email will do

That is the Altrumm Ruins mission area. Remember, all missions except Dragon's Throat count towards the Canthan Cartographer title.

Your screenshots of Shing Jea #1, 2, 4; City #5; Sea #6 and Forest #1 are refusing to load for me altogether, so you might be missing something there as well. ok, got some questions though. when i first posted my maps somewhere at 97%, you mentioned Haiju already, and i cleared a spot there, now again..where exactly is it? is it at the beach a bit up or just at the gate? since i cant seem to get anything there :/ <----------------- got that one now, silly me ><

about T. Temple explorable..the WHOLE part of the east and west walls, or only those where the brotherhood is? since i did the 'hard' part earlier the day, spent ages wallhugging there, and thought it was complete. just did the bottom one and got nothing..

think i got the spot from Zin Ku outpost, but isnt it the same from Sunjiang explorable? since i cant figure out whats missing there. :s

checked the whole wall in ferndale, got nothing, no changes on the map. started from the aspenwood gate, went down to HZH and went back to the gate.

then, you mentioned pongmei valley..im quite confused there, since you named the name of the waterfall, but i cant find a shield of it? is it where arraassh (sp?) mountainclub is, or was that a typo (with all those mean names) and you meant Penjiang Pensinblabla on shing jae? i remember a waterfall there and the name sounds like its from there.

so far i only got spots from the Aspenwood gate and from Boreas outpost. still have to check the others i didnt list above :/ i think this title hates me, lol. its getting real mean in the end :P

sorry for all the questions, but its quite confusing.

and odd that the links dont work, all are fine for me. :S

*goes back to checking points* still 0.8 to go ^^

If you read back through the thread, you'll see that I used to point out specific directions to the spots people were missing. I stopped because of the volume of the requests, and because I'm not going to type the same thing in ten times since people are usually missing the same spots but unwilling to read through the thread. So instead, I'm giving you the general area where to look for the missing bits, and hoping that you do the smart thing: check your map against Leighwyn's as I have, using the ALT+TAB method he suggested way back on page 2 of this thread instead of blindly setting off without having any idea where precisely the spot you're missing is located.

Since you've already taken screenshots of your "U" window, you have no excuse not to compare them to Leighwyn's complete map.

Shyft, Thanks to you I was able narrow down everything down to 99%! The last 1% was SE chuck of Durheim Archives (Explorable), quite tricky if you ask me.

Thank you for your time and effort for helping everyone reach their Grandmaster title.

Thank you!

To get to Shiro's banishment area, what you should do is find a "banishment buddy" - someone who also needs the area for the cartography title. Then, the two of you should go into the mission with one person switching armor to lower HP total than the other's. The person with lower HP should get banished first, and to reverse the order just make sure to reverse the HP totals between the two characters. Make sure to bring a running skill of some sort so that if your partner is banished you can lose both Shiro's and the bound boss's aggro. Snares and all-out defensive skills like Mist Form and Shadow Form help immensely.

To get to the specific spot you're missing, you should hug the north edge of the cliff inside Shiro's banishment area. Make sure to bring some way of healing yourself so that the lone spirit at the very start of the banishment path doesn't kill you.

Other than the above, you're still missing:

-NW corner and north wall of Minister Cho's Estate explorable;
-NW corner of Kinya Province;
-SW corner of Panjiang Peninsula;
-north wall of Jaya Bluffs;
-east wall of Haiju Lagoon;
-north wall of Raisu Palace explorable;
-east wall of Nahpui Quarter mission;
-east wall of Dragon's Throat outpost (uncover from outside the outpost);
-NE corner of Tahnnakai Temple explorable;
-NW corner of Shenzun Tunnels;
-a spot SW of Zin Ku Corridor (uncover from inside the outpost);
-SE corner of Nahpui Quarter mission;
-south wall of Shenzun Tunnels;
-the "farmland" east of Maatu Keep;
-north wall of Boreas Seabed outpost;
-north wall and NE corner of Arborstone explorable;
-north wall of Ferndale;
-west wall of Kurzick Aspenwood Gate outpost;
-SE and NE corners of Aspenwood Gate battle area;
-SW, NW and NE corners of Jade Quarry battle area;
-SW corner of Saint Anjeka's Shrine outpost (behind henchies);
-east wall of Melandru's Hope;
-SW corner of Drazach Thicket;
-north wall of Morostav Trail;
-NW corner of Unwaking Waters explorable;
-SW and NE corners of Mourning Veil Falls;
-SE corner of Kurzick Unwaking Waters outpost;
-south wall of Archipelagos;
-SW and NE corners of Maishang Hills.

Since you have the Monastery Overlook open, you don't need to uncover all of the above to get the title.

On a side note, how did you uncover the spot NW of Saint Anjeka's Shrine? It doesn't show on Leighwyn's map, which is why I'm asking

I know we don't need to have the WHOLE map uncovered for the title, but I am an insane completionist...

Speaking about that...Here's the full map

My friend did a pretty sucky job at the scanning - granted, the map is far bigger than his scanner, but there's still a huge gap between two parts of the map. I'll see if I find another way of scanning, but in the mean time, here it goes.

Mega Upload link to full map




(And thanks, Pyro, with your help I got 100% You noticed a few areas that I would have never seen, I think.)

Thank you very much for getting the map scanned and uploading a stitched version of it. It's neither current nor complete (see south of Panjiang Peninsula and west of Shenzun Tunnels) but it provides a rare look into Factions during the development stages, when the city icons still looked like their Tyrian counterparts.

It would have been nice if they kept all the banishment portals functional, however

Upto 99.7% here. Just explored Vizunah and hugged it entirely for 0.2%. I'm still lost with this 0.3% though. Where are places that are missed easily? And yes i have the banishment area with Shiro.

Can't really say without looking at your specific map because the last 1% is usually minute spots in multiple zones rather than all clumped together in one. Shiro's banishment area, along with the edges of Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry battle areas spring to mind as the most frequently and consistently unexplored things; other than that, it's just bits and pieces like the NW corner of the "top" level of Arborstone, the "farmland" spot east of Maatu Keep, or the spot SW of Zin Ku Corridor that has to be cleared from inside the outpost.

I don't believe you can make it to 100% without using Leighwyn's ALT+TAB method to compare maps unless you'd like to wallhug each and every area not knowing which ones you really need. So what I suggest is that you try it yourself, or post screenshots of your "U" window so others can compare them for you.
