Thanks,

Now my eyes are blood shoot from trying to find my remaining .6 left. It seems to me you have a little fuss SE of The Astralarium and some more in the Vehtend Valley around the Large Island in the Northern half. How do you make the Stitched U map?

Thanks man. But no luck. I have not uncovered anything after 2 hours of trying in those areas. Either I am doing soemthing wrong or I did not understand the area you are referring to. I used photoshop and took print screens and then layered them up using difference blending. Hope it makes sense.

Thanks,

Vel

Just got my Elonian GMC today. I don't know if there is any more that can be mapped but I haven't even done The Ruins of Morah so I can't get into the Mouth of Torment or the end area by the Chantry of Secrets.

I found this title to be easier to get than either the Tyrian or Canthan GMC; I didn't even have to do endless map comparisons or go hunting for that nagging last .1%; it just worked out that I hit 100% as I ran out of visible fog. Now to work on the PoE title...

Could you post a pic April? When I get home tonight I'll post a picture of that area, and maybe we can find what you're missing.

As many of you know, I am currently trying to bench mark what each area of the Elona map is worth.

Just got finished mapping the starter Isle with an Elonian character.

I ended up with 21.9%

Some people have posted that they got 22% or even a little more. Can anyone confirm this with absolute certainty?

^When I mapped it out with my tyrian it turned out .2 or .3 less than that Livingston. Would the tutorial are account for the difference?


Also. If you post a map, and request for someone to look at it, do not post it a second (or third or FOURTH) time until someone has had a chance to look at it and respond to your request. I will delete any duplicate requests. This thread is a enormous help to alot of people, but at the moment alot of people are in the same boat as far as their mapping goes. It will take some time to get to everyone, so do not make it more difficult by posting your maps/needs/questions multiple times.

Hmm, I did the tutorial just to make sure I got everything I could. Maybe I've missed a spot somewhere. I'll have to triple check it, and post the shots if I can't find it.

Livingston

Edit: Here are my maps, anyone see a spot I'm missing?

Map 1
Map 2
Map 3

There may be a spot I am missing to the east of Fahrunur, but I'm not positive.

Edit 2: Got it, but it didn't give me 22% - still 21.9

Anyone know how much that desert challenge mission adds to your maped % ? and does the sunspear arena on starter count as well?

I think it maybe that some people are includeing the 4th mission as part of starter island which in my opinion it should'nt be. Maybe this is where thier geting the extras tenths.

Its possable you missing a lil bit north of Kamadan.

The Sunspear Arena definitely counts. Even if you are past level 10 you can still map the lobby area.

Did you get your total while you were still on the isle or did you tally it after you had been transported to the new area on the mainland?

Also, does anyone have a copy of Silent Vex's map? The link to it is currently broken, so I have put Zophar’s on the front page, however he's missing quite a few areas on the starter isle.

I'm not counting Consulate Docks mission as that is indeed on the main land.

So did you have 21.7 without that bit, and without the tutorial area?

Thanks for the 100% maps that I got to compare too only piece of advice I have to give is WALL HUGG and GET IN THE CORNERS!!!!! and wiggle back and forth most common missed area people are also not doing is the "Remains of Sahlahja" challenge mission with the wurm

I have not done the consulate mission with this character yet because it takes you off the island - I was looking for a true starter Island mapping benchmark, so that might be .4% (ish) I can hope!
I think that 21,5% for starter island (not included the docks mission) is correct.
Here is my counts, I will update as I do other areas :

Shekah + Churnir Fields : 1,1%
Kamadan : 0,3 -> 1,4%
Plains of Jarin+Sunspear Hall+Astrolarium + Champion's Dawn : 3% -> 4,4%
Cliffs of Dohjok+Jokanur Diggings : 2,8% -> 7,2%
Zehlon Reach : 3,1% -> 10,3%
Fahranur + Blacktide Den : 3,1% -> 13,4%
Beknur Harbor + Issnur Isles + Kodlonu Hamlet : 3,2% -> 16,6%
Lahtenda Bog : 2,6% -> 19,2%
Metani Keys : 2,3% -> 21,5%

I'm pretty positive I didn't miss any 0,1%.

Edit : nm.. seems I missed a whole 0,4%. Pretty amazed as I've literraly covered each area with red trails (along with hugging the walls in each city/village as well).. If anyone else took %s for each areas, I d be glad to know where I might have missed something. Are there % you can get in missions and not in the explorables?
