With yesterdays update the mission towns on Shing Jea island are now available. Allowing for 100% exploration of the map and Canthan Protector title.

As far as i know, tyrian characters still don't have access to the area southeast to the monastery(arena?). So it's still questionable to me, if tyrian characters can reach 100%. Well i hope someone will soon popup and show the title.

I dont believe Tyrians will ever be able to attain the title of Canthan Grandmaster. I am at 99% even and only have the Canthan starter area(.7%) and the monastary arena(.3%) missing from my map. I dont think ANet will ever make them available.

That sucks! The most I've seen so far is 99% exploration for now. Well, at least it allows for Canthan Protector.

I know a way to get into the Monastery Overlook as a tyrian. First, goto your guild hall, second go talk to the alliance battle guy, third, go back to your guild hall, fourth, hit leave guild hall. I've tested this and it doesn't work. Apparently it only works on canthan characters...

Umm this isn't new....we've always been able t get there...I took my Tyrian there the first day....the Guild wars role play association has been holding it's weekly meet and greets there for weeks....

they opened up the blocked MISSIONS on the island! B/c that was the part you could not get into.

humm... I was able to locate and do the minister cho estate mission, but how do I enter/find Zen Daijun? The gate is closed and the marker is not on the map.

And in the guildwiki says: "Tyrians now find this area automaticly unlocked when the ener Cantha. Doing any previus quests or missions is not required."

Kias, go north from Seitung Harbor, northeast through Jaya Bluffs and into Haiju Lagoon. Then head for the southeast corner of Haiju and you'll find the entrance to Zen Daijun.

Did both MCE and ZD today with two other Tyrians and hench. 11 minutes each. Spent some time exploring, too. Well worth it!

Oh why oh why Tyrian characters can't get Canthan Grandcartographer title. It's absurd to block that title...and Really really annoying.

Apparently it only works on canthan characters... only works if the map battle map has changed so if ur in etneran keys and then while ur in guild hall the lines change back to saltspray it dumps you in monastry overlook, its happened loads of times to me so dont see why it wouldnt work for tyrian characters.. try it and let us kno

It's especially easy to get mad over it since the opposite is perfectly doable, a canthan getting 100% tyrian :P

I think the fact that they opened the missions in the first place indicates that they are trying to make the titles available for Tyrian characters and avoid players’ irritation at not being able to obtain some titles. I expect something will be released to fix this soon. Or it could be that I am just hopeful and therefore optimistic.
