I dont know if its just me, but when I try to compare maps, my maps are always of bigger size then the ones you have listed. I tried making my resolution smaller but it still didnt work... did i miss something?

Congrats Six Dart Bart.

Sometimes it isn't easy but since ANet switch the screen capture to save as a jpeg it has been easier.

I think the alternating between Tyria and Elona has me at a standstill on both. I am currently at 99.4%. I appreciate any help you may provide whatsoever. Note: The size on my screenies will not alter, via here or Imageshack. I am not very good with images and such, so please excuse any problems. Just let me know if I need to change anything. Thanks in advance!

I can see right now that your pic is not a standard size. If you look at your thumbnail it says it is 1009x681.
If you are using imageshack then make sure you uncheck the box that resizes the picture.

Well done Togira. Now go get Cantha.

Loarali I may have burned my eyes out last night but I don't see a link in your post.

When it comes to getting some of the harder areas you just have to go back and forth many times and try to wiggle in and get the map to "pop". Sometimes you will actually be no where near the area and it will clear for you. I can't give you specific spots to stand at to make the place clear. I would just try and walk at the 45 degree angle and once you have walked past it go back the other direction and try that way.

Hey, I wasn't going to ask for your help until I was truly stuck, and... Well I'm truly stuck now and after about a week of continuous searching I think I might go insane. I'm at 98.5%, and my screen size is 1280x1024



If it helps you, I can put up individual shots of each section.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Default Area left uncovered after reaching 100%

I was meticulous and methodic in mapping all zones prior to the Crystal Overlook, which I saved for last. I used a Tyrian character, with no access to the Elona starting area. The picture shows what was left uncovered when I hit 100%. Thanks for this sticky, many great tips and good advice.

Good luck to other mappers!

JD
