I don't have Photoshop so is there a tutorial for using LuXa's method with Paint Shop Pro 7? It has layers but I've never used them. I have GMC for Cantha but only 92.3% for Tyria and 90.6% for Elona and need to find where to clear.

Livingston: Here's my map.

I took a look at your noob island maps and the only obvious differences were the places I couldn't get (starter area and inside arena). The only other possible place I saw was outside the very SE town. Go out the west exit, and follow the left wall all the way to the SE corner of the zone by the 8 sided boat thing. If that doesn't get you a bit, blame it on the jpeg fuzz (it was nearly impossible to compare the water...).

Right about to leave. Thank you for checking. I'll post the bitmaps for yah as well.

And I'll upload the map as soon as I get back.

Thanks again,
Livingston

Desert mission (challenge) DOES count towards 100% as does the sunpear arena as for people that are NOT from ELONA you DONT NEED all of starter island to have 100%

Since you didn't give any names here was my best guess:

Was this the place you meant?

Oh well...

I'll add it back in later...

how do you get to that arena? found nothing :/

i'm around 76% now

Spike · Nov 25, 2006, 02:40 PM // 14:40

I'm sure I got my 21.9% BEFORE I did the docks mission and with out the tutorial and sunspear arena. Someone on here posted that the starter island was 22%. So when I got to 21.9% I assumed that the tutorial was the missing 0.1%

Sujoy · Nov 25, 2006, 07:25 PM // 19:25

your 100% maps are missing Sunspear Arena!

cba · Nov 25, 2006, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Nothing sucks more than to get 99.9% Elona, and then stare countless hours at pre-made maps by the current Cartographers. I finally made 100% after about 5 hours of scraping areas that probably had 1 pixel uncovered. After that, and a few beers later, I think Anet took pity on me, and gave me my Grandmaster title. I didn't uncover anything, but perhaps the title could come down to ever the tiniest pixels on the Umap. I swear I would have jumped off my building if I couldn't find that elusive .1%!!! =P

freekedoutfish · Nov 26, 2006, 12:37 AM // 00:37

well im now at 99.4%. I have every location which exists, including the arena. But being tyrian in birth I cant use it.

Im completely and utterly stuffed as where to look.

comparing maps hasnt helped.

I even opened the map in GWs and the 100% I have in paintshoppro and compared them accross screens. Still nothing.

Having already 100% in the other day, i know this could take a while.

But I got my KOABD title yesterday and I want to add it

That's because they were not mapped by Elonians, which are the only ones who can access it (unless you manage to get a foreign character to Elonia under 10th level).

Comparing across screens is worthless as your brain can not store the data as perfectly as it can when you tab in and out with an overlay. I hope you were using the overlay method first...

That was exactly the place I meant. Make sure you've hugged the wall by the res shrine there. If that didn't net you anything, then you'll have to wait until Monday when I can compare your bmp's with mine. Sorry if that sounds dirty.

WOOOOO

got me elonian title

with thanks to a friend hehe, cheers mad ^^ time to work on elite cappin 7 to go xD

Cashane · Nov 26, 2006, 06:13 AM // 06:13

I hadn't visited the Sunspear Arena, I just tried but it didn't give any %.
If my memory serves me well, the tutorial area (Island of Shehkah) granted 0,2%, but maybe a part of it is already uncovered when you go in Chahbek Village.

Yeah I hugged the hell out of all the walls around there and nothing...

;_;

If there is more than 21.9% on the starter Island I have no idea where the rest is...

Hi Guys

Im just so stuck on 98.6% me and my wife has been going over and over the maps, but i cant seem to find the missing spot.

Livingstone Great work on helping people, this time im calling for help.

And congrats to all of the 100% Granny's

cba · Nov 26, 2006, 11:38 AM // 11:38

1.4% is a huge chunk missing. You should be able to find many spots when you look at Livingston's maps. Hell, I was able to stare at his maps and pick up parts that were .1% in three areas, giving me 99.9% total. Once you hit that, GL on the rest.

Post a copy of your map and I'll see if I can offer suggestions as to where you need.

fibassassin · Nov 26, 2006, 12:07 PM // 12:07

I feel like a map already, lol

Hope these will help

*EDIT*

thx so much
