It may be easier to just open one or two doors, die, and come back, since once you open one area you can concentrate on just mapping, instead of killing things to get points to open more areas.

- Note that you don't actually need most of Remains to get 100%. I had 99.x% before going into the challenge mission, and just entering the mission got me the last 0.x% I needed. I also didn't have the starting area on the newbie island, because my character is Canthan.

- Remember to EXPLORE TOWNS. A lot of towns in Elona are quite large and convoluted, and add up to a lot of %.

Even area 4, the lower right corner opens randomly? That's never opend for me yet.

I'll keep trying.

EDIT: You're right! Got it!

At 98.7% and I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out where the 1.3% went... My guess is it is all over the place... which is not good...

Thanks. I actually used your map to do the difference method. The result with my map comes out rather "black" .. so am i not doing this right i assume.

Right now, i am giving up and calling it a night after two hours of doing the Tab key flipped comparison without finding any percentile. (i found some discrepancies but they haven't added up or revealed anything.)

Me and my new pet Hyena, celebrating the triple whammy!

It actually helped get my KOABD title (as I had 2 x Protector too) Do a little dance...

I actually got the Elonian one without the aid of any maps, was quite an enjoyable experience overall in terms of seeing the landscape and things out in the middle of nowhere. I enjoyed it more than Cantha for sure

Note, this is using my Tyrian warrior 100% there, if there's any demand for it I can stitch a map together sometime.

I got up to 98.4% just exploring and mapping all of Elona. Note: the remainder of the 1.6% came from the Remains of Sahlahja challenge mission. I do believe there may be around 1.8% in that whole challenge area, maybe even a bit more as I got grandmaster in there and still had some bits left to uncover in the same area. I did not step foot in the arena mentioned earlier in the thread.

I just started mapping and noticed that it appears Livingston's 100% map in the first post doesn't have a Sunspear Arena mapped yet.
You can access it from Kamadan, look for the NPC near the Consulate and he will port you over. It only gives 0.1% but if your stuck at 99.9 it could be useful. =D
I post back if I notice anything else.
Edit: Nevermind lol, Ingram beat me to it.

SilentVex · Nov 05, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

This is the method I used to map all of elona. I hit U, then I zoomed in. It's really very easy to tell when the unexplored area comes too close to the edge of a zone. Here's a marked up screenie of my zoomed in U map. Notice the nice consistent padding between the zone wall, and the edge of exploration. If the padding isn't there, you know you missed a spot.

Edit: And I know the sunspear arena wasn't mapped, because it didn't exist back then. I need to update it, but I'm too lazy.

Thailii Monkey · Nov 05, 2006, 05:56 AM // 05:56

ok was at 99.9% went to help a guildie with the final mission, watched the cutscene after the endgame area. then appeared in kamandan with 100% :S

SoadLink · Nov 05, 2006, 08:50 AM // 08:50

Sorry if this was covered, I havent read all 6 pages of this thread. Anyone know how to get a Tyrian character into the first areas of NF (Island of Shehkah)?

Here is a pic. I noticed someone else in here who posted their 100% map had this area, and they were a Tyrian. I just cant find a way to get in there:

Currently at 98.9%

This should get me about .2 if I could get around to these areas. And there are still some other chunks I am going to explore right now.

=HT=Ingram · Nov 05, 2006, 09:04 AM // 09:04

Don't forget to FULLY explore ALL the Wurm Paths... This is often overlooked

But 100% is possible without it... But sometimes it makes up a little if you can't clear something else... Like the arena fighting area for instance which over lev 10s can't go into...

Poisonous Outcrops and Dynastics Tombs are often overlooked on the wurm paths...

NesQik · Nov 05, 2006, 09:09 AM // 09:09

It was fun to get this title, easy and fast ^^

Yeah indeed our maps are quite simillar. I noticed one difference around the Basalt Grotto but I'm not sure at all - that's maybe a cloud. You should check that. Otherwise compare the Dynastic Tombs to a 100% U map too: you may have missed something there (southern part) but it's hard to make sure with a zommed out map + JPG compression.

SilentVex · Nov 05, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

SoadLink: 99.2% map marked

I need 13k more for my last piece of end game armor...

I also found a couple little spots that you had and I didn't, so I'll get those and include them when I update mine.

I updated the map to a better quality JPG and also edged around the Grotto before doing this update. Can't upload a 3.5meg BMP to Imageshack

thanks for checking this for me, Sir Mad. Again any further help is apprechiated, still stuck at 99.2%

dj deviate · Nov 05, 2006, 04:38 PM // 16:38

could we get a zoomed out bitmap file without the town icons for the zoomed out method
cheers

dj deviate · Nov 05, 2006, 05:26 PM // 17:26

i tried doing that difference map and either i cant find anything or im doing it wrong

so could some else have a go plz im at 99.5%

cheers

SilentVex · Nov 05, 2006, 06:39 PM // 18:39

99.6% marked up

SoadLink · Nov 05, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

Thanks to everyone here, and especially to SilentVex! I got it!

Good luck to all those going for it!

Agrim Shamash · Nov 05, 2006, 10:07 PM // 22:07

In the North Northwest corner of "The Sulfurous Wastes" is a Ghost by the name of "Infantryman Hareh" (just east of the N boss over a chasm).. any idea how i can get there? He even has a ! over his head that i could see.

Further, as people manage to get an U-map that encompasses the whole elonian continent:
How do you stich the parts together, is there a freeware you use, i'd like to provide my own U-Map for my search for the last missing .8%

Verkinix · Nov 05, 2006, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Just finished Elonian GME 100%. Elona was, by far, easier then Cantha to map in full. I'm still working on tyria, but its taken a back seat to the fun of NF

Anyway, wish I had started mapping a few days earlier. I could have gotten the 10k

Let me quote myself as an answer:

EDIT: Nevermind... I'm either blind or didn't read the latest posts... Still my point of having to quote an answer already given before stands.
