Canthan Tour Guide!! (Cartographer Tips and Questions)

[LanaDarkess]

Are you guys using programs to show where you need to explore? Coz if those are screen shots, my map is just blurred, not outlined.

Just curious to see whether I'm ok, or whether I'm going nuts. Thanks =]

[Marty Silverblade]

The program being used is TexMod with the Cartography Made Easy mod. Look it up on the Official Wiki.

Anyone know how to get to this spot? the gate in the image below. The gate to the South of it goes to Skyway and the gate to the West of it goes further South off the map to the Tunnels.

Also is that long vertical spot attainable? the one to the right of Dragons Throat.

Thanks for any help on this!

The lower spot is the Vizunah Square (Local Quarter) outpost. To enter it, you must join the party of a native Canthan character who is doing the quest "Mayhem in the Market". That quest leads them to Viz Local, and you can tag along to gain entry.

The strip to the right is cleared by scraping the walls while doing the Vizunah Square mission. There is currently no way to enter Vizunah Square as an explorable area, unlike most other Factions and Nightfall mission areas. But, perhaps the third part of Winds of Change will give us access, just as WiK gave us explorable versions of several mission areas in Prophecies.

can anyone tell me how to get this top spot in Arborstone? I've tried going and hanging out on that top ledge as close as I can get to it and walking backwards and forwards slowly across the ledge stopping for a few seconds at a time, but nada.

can I get that cleared from the outpost, or do I need to go into the explorable area and go wandering out through the marshy areas?

You need to enter the explorable from Altrumm outpost and go down in the swamp, scraping along the northern wall.

[Kada]

thanks for that, hopefully the last one as I'm at 99.3% and this is a large area:



how can I manage to clear this section off? scraping every wall, stopping every couple of steps for a few seconds hasn't worked. is there a specific section in Vizunah at the bottom two clumps of open space there that I need to scrape and sit on in order to clear off that bottom section (if there is, can someone point out that spot to me) or do I need to get a Factions character to piggy back me into Local Vizunah in order to clear it?

[BrettM]

Go to Vizuneh Foreign, speak to the NPC there, and ask to view the mission cinematic. Watch it all the way through. That will clear the big area in question. You also need to get piggybacked into Vizuneh Local to get some in the area of that outpost. (This is a good idea anyway, since there are quests in the Undercity where it is easier to start from Viz Local rather than running to the Wajjun or Bukdek portals.)

This is an important tip all through Cantha. If there is an NPC offering a mission cinematic in an outpost, watch it. Particularly on both sides of Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood.

How do you explore this part. the ones circled in white

[Kook~NBK~]

Go to Vizunah Square (Foreign) and watch the cut-scene.

[BrettM]

Don't worry about the upper circle. You've scraped the mission about as well as it needs to be scraped, and I don't think I've cleared that little corner on any of my cartographer characters (six characters with Legendary).

For the lower circle, Kook gave the right answer. Speak to the NPC in Viz Foreign and ask to view the mission cinematic. Watch it all the way through. (Note, do the same for every outpost that offers an NPC with a cinematic, including both sides of Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood. These can clear a surprising amount of area.)
