How did you get to that Canthan tutorial area? Is it called Dojo or something? Anyways, it's the place where your Canthan character appears after creating...

You can't, that is unavailable to tyrian chars. There is more than 100% map available on both the maps, which gives the leeway you need to get 100%.

Keep hunting you will find it!

Reason? An Exploit. Someone figured out that you are auto-given the drunken time when you zone. Drink Your 'Nog, Zone - BOOM your auto-given the drunken time without having to actually sit there drunk. Keep drinking/zoning as needed.

There is a tiny piece of map in the "noob island" which is the "Canthan tutorial area" Is it below the monastry and is called called the Dojo or something. This is what the question was about and that is unaccessable to tyrian characters ( I have dual 100%, i should know )

Congrats, congrats!

Avarre will probably be heart-broken when he sees that the first KOABD title holder is not a mesmer.

Nice job dude.

For the questions:
More people have x2 100% exploration titles maxed (cantha/tyria). Check the Tyrian and Canthan exploration league sections/respective threads to see how many have posted with the accomplishment.

The area south of the monastery is only accessible by Canthans, but the lvl 10 Canthan Arena is now accesible for Tyrians. It's a free 0.4% (which is a lot trust me) and I consider it kinda lame. There is no reason for a Tyrian to be there as they cannot enter the arenas (since they will most likely be above lvl 10). Seems like ANET is making friendly with whiners (lazy explorers) *cough* :P.

As far as being the first...you may be. I have some doubt though. I've had 4/5 titles for a while, and could afford the 5th quickest obtainable (ale hound) if I wanted to a couple weeks ago. Guinevere can vouch for me on that one heh. There is not enough supply of spiked egg nogs to find. The guru wtb threads about them are blank and getting them ingame 1 or 2 at a time would take..months. Rougly 67 stacks of ale (250x67) are needed to max the minutes, 3,333,334g. And about 5-10 hours straight of drinking/zoning/drinking/rezoning (based on connection speed). Maybe longer if 56k..don't even wanna think about it.

I know these numbers because I was about to go for it, but talked to Guinevere and heard Gaile speak of the "we're going to fix that drinking exploit bit". Though everything out of that woman's mouth should be taken with a grain of salt and a pound of cinnamon, I thought it best not to risk 3.3mil on a complete gold sink (other than title/stature) and a risk at not even being able to finish that title.

I don't think I'll ever go for it now because guildwars is losing my interest. Though I could assume someone had KOABD before you. May be wrong but...I had 4/5 titles working on them rather slowly 2-3 weeks ago and I'm sure someone out there could have focused a ton of their free time if not all just for hitting 5/5 titles maxed. Think of the other countries we wouldn't know about having it. Then the people from america that don't know what gwguru is, and then the people that don't browse many threads at all heh.

Yaaaaay for long winded posts. First or not, you pretty much rock for getting it this early in the game.

Also, on an Ele. Much kudos--as I did my titles on my warrior. It makes the exploration much less time consuming. As I am a runner more than anything else in this game--I congradulate you the most in that area. The others are just time/money/buddies who can assist.

I'm vaguely indifferent, esp. as none of those titles are particularly hard.

I'd wave a flag for someone with a mix of PvP and PvE max titles though...

Still gj.

When you zone, you gain the drunken minutes you have on you without having to wait for them to elapse.

Yeah, if you drink 5 Ales, then port, then drink 3 more, port to another palce, drink 3 more, etc it should give you the minutes without waiting

(Spiked Eggnogs work a lot better, but are in VERY short supply )
