Sophitia Leafblade, Kay84 & Snake King,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.

Feathermoore Rep · Nov 07, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

Alright Wobrak, well all those areas got me to 99.3%. The only places i couldnt get where the top corner in Tasca's Deminse right outside The Granite Citadel and the middle section you cirlced between Iron Horse Mine and Borlis Pass. I scraped both of those but still no luck. Oh and I cant get the area you circled around the ascalon arena because my character is level 20 and cant enter the area where you cirlced.

Heres the link of my new map: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~ajdeboer/gw020.jpg
I'll try doing a difference clouds and see if i can find any others on my own.

EDIT - I am at 99.6% i found 0.3% running around cities.

Windego · Nov 07, 2006, 11:22 PM // 23:22

99.6 and i got no ideas where i need to head.

And does any one have a latge map that i can zoom in on to see dunes of dispair, frost gate. and any others someone think i might have missed.

99.8 here and having trouble making sense of the difference map since the signal to noise ratio of the clouds is rather frustrating. I got fed up and did a darken composition of several sequential images in an attempt to pseudo-strip the clouds. Check out the results:

http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm..._stripped2.jpg

Strangely out of 10 sequential images it seems clouds are always over a few of the areas. If you a want to strip clouds using this technique, do the following:

STEP 1. take a bunch of screenshots of your map
STEP 2. use an image editing tool to compare 2 images, and pick the darker pixel
STEP 3. repeat for all images

The logic is that all clouds do are lighten the pixel they are over, so by taking the darker pixel we are getting the "real" map without distorting the map.

I was also thinking, would it be of interest (more of a request) for someone to replace this sticky thread with more of an informative thread? E.g. the OP would be a collection of 100% maps at different popular resolutions. I had trouble finding many 100% zoomed out maps and it is a long thread.

Help (Wobrak?) with my remaining .% would also be much appreciated. I already know there is a bit in the SW corner f Thirsty River, and a bit in the lava pit of Hell's Precipice, but sure there are easier ones to get?

Feathermoore Rep · Nov 08, 2006, 05:48 AM // 05:48

h4ngedm4n- Lets see, there really isn't anything major or easy to get to that i can find. I only found three places in the difference map i made of yours. I circled them in the picture but here are the places.

THK- Go outside and scrape the very bottom of the map right after you enter. You'll probably have to go up and little bit and go through the Avericara (sp?) Braves to get to it. But there is a tiny piece in the bottom corner of the zone that shows up on the difference.
Frost Gate- I believe you'll have to try/use the NT trick again to get there.
Arid Sea-In the top left corner a small spot shows up. That should be the area between the triangle of zone portal. You can get that by running in the fort that is on the under side of that zone in the Arid Sea

Those should/may get you closer to 100%.

EDIT - After just random walking around towns and a quick run through The Northern Wall mission, i got to 99.7%. Damn if i only had the old pvp arenas, i'd so be done. Sigh. Oh well. Just a lil bit more work tomorrow and hopefully i should get 100%

h4ngedm4n · Nov 08, 2006, 07:51 AM // 07:51

Feathermore-
thanks for your examination! However, could I ask for additional help? The area you circled on Frost Gate is not on the NT path (Rurik's path), as at that position on the map, Rurik's path is along the western side of the Frost Gate. I do agree there is quite a blip there based on your difference map, but I cannot seem to eliminate it. Here is my umap pathing in Frost gate to get it (the fuzzy area in the center east):

http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm..._east_umap.jpg

THK: Went over this again, think it might have improved a llittle.

Arid Sea: Are you sure you don't have a cloud over that pit? difference map of a white cloud over that black outline would produce a false blip.

EDIT: looked at the difference map again and saw missing places in southeast of Hell's Precipice, south and east of Kessex Peak, ambiguities in Salt Flats and Diviniers Ascent (double checked those). Combined with that little piece of THK, its "100%". Thanks for the help.

Father of Mir · Nov 08, 2006, 09:02 AM // 09:02

Thx to the help of the folks here (Wobrak in particular) I am now at 98.8%. 100% is so close I can almost taste it!

May I please ask for one more comparison for the final shove this week? I still have fire isles (Rurik) to do but am hoping to keep that for the last - a grand finale if you will.
Thx stax and gj!!

Here is my map (1280x1024)

h4ngedm4n · Nov 08, 2006, 09:23 AM // 09:23

Father of Mir: as an eyeball comparison with my map two posts above (clouds semi removed), I see you are missing:

1) southwest corner of Dunes of Despair, across the invisible bridge, through the fake wall.

2) southeast corner of The Frost Gate, which is scratched out from the cave entered to the South. From the 3 Lever area, there are gates going East, South, and West. Go into the south one and there is a semi-hidden path leading to the south west. It'll get you that "corner" of Frost Gate.

3) its hard to tell due to cloud cover, but I think you are also missing the southern point of Lion's Arch.

hope this helps

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 08, 2006, 09:33 AM // 09:33

Thanks Wobrak, im gonna go exploring tonight i think then

Father of Mir · Nov 08, 2006, 10:15 AM // 10:15

Thx h4ngedm4n I'll give that a go.

Swordfish56 · Nov 08, 2006, 12:22 PM // 12:22

Wobrak is absolutely amazing, seeing the work he has done so far. Pity we can't seriously reward him for his work, can we?

If you can spare the time, can you please help me with my own map?

Thanks

I've had my map checked on in this thread about three times now...
It's really helped me out, and I'm at 99.8 now...

But each time, I've always had one spot and I cant figure out how to reach it...

Theres one spot, RIGHT above the frost gate town, and I've never been able to reach it... Not the spot in the top west corner of the Borlis mission area, but a spot right below that...

I didnt circle it on the screenshots I'm posting, but you can see it...

The real spot I'm asking about is the one I circled...

I've tried reaching it from the borlis mission and from the horsemines...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._b/gw104-1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...za_b/gw103.jpg

but from the borlis mission, theres a wall in the way, and from the horsemines, it's just too far from the southern edge to reach...

How exactly do I reach this spot?

Kay84 · Nov 08, 2006, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Thanks a lot Wobrak! I really appreciate it!

dr matteo · Nov 08, 2006, 06:50 PM // 18:50

im stuck at 99.9 :|
id really appreciate some help

Feathermoore Rep · Nov 08, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Swordfish56 - You gotta lotta work ahead of yea. Mostly you need to hit just about every zone in North and South Shiverpeaks again. There are spots all over the place.
Two other noteable places that you need to definately go over again are The Sanctum Cay and Dunes of Despair missions.
On Sanctum Cay you need run around the entire edge of the mission map again including the beach at the end of the mission. If you don't go onto the dock at the end the timer won't start so you can explore. But there are ALOT of enemies, but the are easy to run from, so bring run skills.
In Dunes of Despair, you missed the whole extra hidden section to the east as well as the southwest fort glitch(where the gate is up but its really down).
So you should have plenty to explore. Good luck.

RAMZA - I'm not sure on how to get that area either. I have most of that cloud gone but not all of it. I just scraped the edges on both zones to get most of it.

Dr Matteo - i am just short of 100% nor do i have a 100% complete map thats 1280by1024. So until i get done or find one i cant help much. Nor can i see anything just off eyeballing.
My suggestion would run around in every town. Takes about 10 minutes to do them all, and see if you get any. Some of the towns are huge so you may have a missed a spot. I myself found 0.3% around towns last night. So give that a try first.

EDIT - On second thought i think i found a place to get you your last 0.1% Matteo. In Talus Chute there is a lapse in the wall where you can climb the side of a hill and run all the way to the edge of the map. This glitched area was posted way back. Let me see if i can find the post so that you can see exactly where it is.Look at this post here.

Snake King · Nov 08, 2006, 10:29 PM // 22:29

heres a screenie

big thanks to wobrak, who analyzed my posted world maps (3 of them)

gl to everyone who is aiming for tyrian grand master cartographer

lennymon · Nov 08, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41

Fearthemore, spot on for 0,1% on Mateo, but here's a map with a couple more options for you Mateo.

edit: now that I've finished storyline while mapping in Elona, I promise to devote time again back here

Windego · Nov 09, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Ok heres a thread. will someone give me them lil red circles lol.

click it its a link to a larger image.

Any ways any help is much appericiated.

Feathermoore Rep · Nov 09, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

Ok well im down to the last 0.3%. So if anybody could point me in the right direction, it'd be nice.

I know theres some fog between Iron Horse Mines and Borlis Pass that i still can't get and there is two spots near Granite Citadel that i have been over and over but still can't clear. I'll post up some mini-map shots of the sections im talking about later.

And Windego try posting a 1024by786 or 1280by1024 screen shot, so i can do a difference map. But just from eyeballing, you need to do redo the south wall of the Dunes of Despair mission, making sure you run across the glitched bridge in the fort in the SW corner. (The bridge appears up but its really down. That and you need clear out more corners in the Ices Caves mission. As well you can run to the glitched area and get to the edge of the map right above the Ice Caves(refer to my previous post for more information on where that is.)
