^ These are the spots I found with just my eye. Also, don't take screenshots with the Map, use the Mini-map so it's clearer.

Cosius: You can get more in the banished area of Shiro mission. Edge walk very crazily. Haven't checked the rest of your map, but who knows...maybe that one spot will put you over the top

Nexus Icon:

your first screenshot;

jade quarry. wall hug like mad on the left side, you can uncover parts of the green land.

Shing jae:

exit the garden thing to south, and directly go to the right. looks like you can uncover a bit there.

cant really find more, im only at 96.3 myself and have no clue where to look at. ^^ good luck getting your grandmaster.

Well, just reached 98% today using the comparison technique. I can find where I'm missing ~0.5% with it, but after that... I wall hugged every area on my way through (even taking travel screenshots of the harder areas for back reference of where I've been).

Here's my map: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6977/gw6510mm.jpg
Here are very small areas I can see that need done, definately not 2% worth: http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/7155/mapareas6ac.jpg

Edit: 98.2 from the area in the temple and maishang hills.

Nexus, when you go to Maishang Hills from Archipelago, hug the southern "wave": you can clear a bit of the peninsula.

Also in Sunjiang District, there is a part uncovered on the east of Maatu Keep: enter Sunjiang Dis from Pongmei Valley, and go left.. you'll uncover this part.

Hey everyone I have a few questions.

The first would be a solicitaion for help of course. I'm at 98.2% right now, and have been going back wall hugging all the areas. I've done comparisons w/ complete maps, but I'm afraid that with my LCD, its hard to tell what cloudy and what isn't sometimes (especially in Echovald Forest). If another pair of fine eyes can take a look at my maps, I'd be greatful.

Shing Jea Island
Cantha Continent

The second would be an explanation on the difference technique. What I did was take a complete map, then my own and placed them in 2 layers in photoshop. I then took the top layer, and changed its mode to difference. What I don't get it what I'm supposed to be looking for, most notible differences are the could cover. Anyway, this may again be the LCD, or my aging eyes.

Zoomed out 1280x1024

For those of you also trying to get thier 100%: I've found it very helpful weeding through this thread and trying to scout out places outher ppl missed. So if you too are looking to get closer to 100%, try that. Most of those places seem to be common misses.

Thanks all for the great thread.
