| abstract | - The Cartographer titles are gained per character by exploring the primary map of each continent. Any area viewable when viewing the world map counts towards the title. This includes the following:
* Explorable areas
* Mission zones (cooperative, challenge and competitive)
* Arenas not on the Battle Isles
* Towns and Outposts including exclusive areas for Canthan outposts It does not include any area which is not shown on the world map of any continent. This includes the following:
* In Tyria:
* Pre-Searing Ascalon (this area has its own explorable map)
* The Dragon's Lair mission location
* The Dragon's Lair mission area
* Sorrow's Furnace
* In Cantha:
* Dragon's Throat (mission)
* Elite Missions
* The Undercity
* In Elona:
* Sunspear Sanctuary
* Command Post
* Dajkah Inlet (mission)
* Dasha Vestibule (location)
* Moddok Crevice (mission)
* Bahdok Caverns
* Jennur's Horde (mission)
* Nightfallen Garden
* Realm of Torment
* The Hidden City of Ahdashim
* Core areas: Any area that appears on The Battle Isles or shows the Battle Isles map, this includes:
* The Battle Isles themselves
* The Fissure of Woe
* The Underworld A fully explored area equal to the size of the radar around a player equals roughly 0.1% of Cantha. The percentage is less for Tyria (about 0.07%) as it is a larger continent. To gain the Grandmaster Cartographer title, a character does not need to explore every single point on the map. Some margin of error is allowed. As a result, even though some characters may never be able to access some portions of the map, they may still earn 100% explored. Unreachable zones would most likely be arenas that have been rendered inaccessible due to a game update (such as Fort Koga) or due to level limits (such as the Shing Jea Arena). Again, these zones do count towards the titles for those who revealed them, but they do not make it impossible for those who cannot to obtain the grandmaster title.
