Damn you Nahpui exploable!!! I've been trying to get this piece explored all evening:
The arrows point out from wich direction I have tried to get it. Could someone please tell me where to wall-hug to get it? Thanks.

Evert to get to the location you pointed you need to start from the Senji's Corner. Use the South exit then follow the road. Soon enough it'll start to go down, keep heading South along the water. Once you have gone south, the area will get dark.
I guess you've already tried it but try to wall-hug very slowly, by moving your char back and forth. Sometimes the map will uncover even when you're turning your back to the wall ^^

Sometimes the map will uncover even when you're turning your back to the wall ^^ This was actually the last spot I got to get me 100%. I had already tried to clear it 3 times previous. In order to get this spot I turned up the gamma as high as it could go and still be viewable. That way I could see exactly where all the walls were, thus I was able to hit every little nook. It worked. Try it out.
And congratulations to jjdefan, Falco, Obsidian, and Okey!!!

I might actually try to set something up myself to organize groups to get in there and explore.
Also congratulations to eVeRt

If you still need to get in, PM me your IGN (in game name), and what server you are on. I will let you know when I have enough people from your server to get in. If you PM me, but get in before we get together, please try to make it to our gathering anyway so other people can get in as well.

At 99.7%, I've finally decided to come here for help on my map. The only other area I know I may have missed is the northern part of Tahnnakai Temple explorable, but I haven't been able to get a human group for it. Here are the screenshots of my progress; please help me find that last .3%! I'm completely stumped! 
Shing Jea:
Kaineng City:
Echovald Forest:
Jade Sea:
EDIT: Nevermind, I got 100%. *cheer* It turns out I was somehow missing 0.2% along the western edge of Kinya Province, and the last 0.1% was in Tahnnakai Explorable. With that in mind, feel free to use my maps for reference.

Here you go, Luis. The differences, I admit, are hard to see but the keen-eyed alt-tab user will pick them up all the same
I realize I mistakingly said explorable instead of mission (Which these spots are a part of) so..oops

Ok nobody seemed to have any input on my .4%, but I know 2 areas I need but need pointers on how to get them. Detailed ones please. I know how to hug walls but I've done that and they still don't uncover. The spots are as follows according to Livingston's guide:
Mount Quinkai
Spot number 16. I can't get the black flag thing to uncover.
Spot number 19. I finally got a group and somehow got the area.
Up to 99.7% but still need help. Please anybody, can you give me pointers on uncovering the black flag thing behind the boat at Aspenwood Luxon side. Please!

Using Livingston's maps on the other thread I managed to locate several uncovred areas. I wasn't able to play a lot today so I only explored Shing jea Island, Kaineng and Echovald Forest. My %age went from 97.7 to 98.4% and there's not much to uncover ^^
I'll continue to alt-tab using your maps Livingston but I'd like to know if spots like number 15,16 and 20 in Kaineng must be reached from te undercity. I feel like the last 1.6% are in the undercity but I'm not sure. If someone can provide me info about undercity links with exploration it would be greatly appreciated, thanks :]

16 is uncovered in the north border of Shenzun Tunnels
20 is found in the Zin Kun Corridor Outpost across from the statue of Balthazar, near the NPC Resongkai. You just need to hit the corner. I had trouble fininding that spot as well and nearly kicked myself after spending hours searching for it in explorable areas.

As for 16, have you entered the Fort Aspenwood mission area yet?
I'm not exactly sure how to get this one as I got it naturally through exploring, so I didn't really noticed how that spot was uncovered. Though my best guess would be inside Fort Aspenwood.

I don't have time to look at them atm, but try checking the maps in this thread in the mean time:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10032479
Also if you get 100% and the spots you needed aren't on those maps, please let me know so i can update them.

Of course I've entered Fort Aspenwood, its just that for some reason when I look at most 100% maps that black flag thing behind the boat is uncovered but when I enter I can't get close enough for it to uncover. I figured someone knew a certain spot that helped uncover it.

Get in the Altrumm ruins outpost, grab mercs, and click on start mission
this is a challenge area where you need to kill lots of mobs to get amber. You can survive long enough to explore the whole area.

Thread is alot of help. A lot of the areas in Cantha are tough enough to not make running a viable mapping option. Basically, you need to carefully edge-walk and won't usually survive. On the other hand, most of the areas are pretty easy to hench if you're methodical.

I need to uncover it too, but according to those who care to help here
you need to stick to the nothern wall of Pongmei Valley (near Assassin boss Xuekao) AND to stick near Grenth's statue in south Sunjiang explorable.
I did it and it uncovered a little spot on my map, although it's not enough but I wasn't sure when I left the area.

1) Inside Fort Aspenwood battle area, when loading from the Luxon side. Take the left teleporter and run backwards until you hit a wall.
2) SE corner of Mount Quinkai. Walk south out of the west exit of Breaker Hollow and hug the south wall when you get to it. Make sure to kill the warrior boss so you aren't disturbed.
3) Some places might open up only when viewing the arena cinematic. If neither of the above works, try choosing "Replay the mission cinematic" from the end-quest NPC's dialogue in Luxon Fort Aspenwood outpost.
4) Some places might open up only when winning the battle. During the double points event I noticed that after the Jade Quarry cutscene ended, I was briefly able to see my team standing on terrain I could not identify. The Fort Aspenwood cutscene has been removed, but it is possible that winning teams are still deposited somewhere after winning the battle but before disbanding in the outpost, and it is possible that you might be able to uncover something from such a spot. It's still speculation, though.

-the mountain spot west of Tsumei Village;
-SW corner of Shing Jea Monastery outpost;
-south wall of Dragon's Throat outpost (uncover from outside the outpost);
-NE corner of Imperial Sanctum mission (banishment area);
-NW corner of Tahnnakai Temple explorable;
-SE corner of Undercity;
-center of Shenzun Tunnels;
-the farmland spot east of Maatu Keep;
-east wall, SE corner and SW corner of Pongmei Valley;
-east and south walls of Nahpui Quarter explorable;
-west wall of Gyala Hatchery explorable;
-east wall, SE corner and NW corner of Jade Quarry battle area;
-west wall of Mount Quinkai;
-south wall of Fort Aspenwood battle area;
-NW corner of Arborstone explorable (top level);
-north and east walls of Ferndale;
-east wall of Drazach Thicket;
-north wall and NE corner of Morostav Trail;
-SW corner and east wall of Amatz Basin;
-south wall of Mourning Veil Falls.
If you're not sure whether you've cleared a spot, compare your map to Leighwyn's with the ALT+TAB method. That's what I do to find these spots for you.

Running and mapping at the same time is counterintuitive, since one requires you to move fast while the other demands careful exploration and constant map comparison. In addition, most of Cantha is notoriously difficult to run, and the difficult missed spots which force you to return to already hard zones makes henchies the best choice for exploration. The only times I would suggest running builds are in situations where 1) there are no enemies or 2) where fighting won't help. For example, the "arcade" missions like Amatz Basin and Aurios Mines can be explored fully by running rather than fighting, though I would highly suggest bringing a fighting build into Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry so that your teammates don't get pissed off.
