Hello everyone, im at 99.4% my map looks just like Leighwyn's map, at least to me it does. I even have more then him on Luxon side of Jade Quarry, but anyways if anyone finds anything in these pic's plz do tell.

I also have the Arena under Shing Jea , but i never enterd a battle so im proabley missing like 0.1% from there.

I think the problem is with Sunjiang District, since you seem to have entered that zone by going into the mission. What I was suggesting was to head into the explorable Sunjiang District, either southwest from Zin Ku Corridor or east from Maatu Keep (arguably the easier path) and then head west once you're at the farmland level, hugging the south wall of the Sunjiang District zone.

That said, I am not sure whether it will help. The fogged patch seems to be lined up with the Sunjiang District outpost above it. Have you gone as far south inside the outpost as you could?

You're missing a tiny bit west of Tanglewood Copse, north of Arborstone. Hug the west wall of the zone heading north, and it should pop up. I mean start out from Tanglewood, clear west along the north wall of the zone, then head out as far west as you can and come back north along the west wall.

It also looks like you've missed a spot NW of the Sunjiang District outpost, but very close to it. Try walking inside the ouspost along the north wall, and if that doesn't work, try hugging the north wall of the explorable Sunjiang District starting from Zin Ku Corridor as you head west. Beware of the many tough mobs (as described in a previous post).

The Shing Jea Arena won't help you because only characters level 1-10 can enter it. If you haven't mapped the arena's "waiting area" completely yet it's the only part you can do now (much like Tyrian characters).

Still, you're evidently Canthan since you have the Monastery Overlook open, so things should be easier for you by about 0.5%. I'd say something about whether you've gotten as much of the Jade Quarry as you could, but none of the images you provide focus on it well enough to do that.

Thanks to everyone here, couldnt have done it without your help, specially to TCFish and Leighwyn for their maps and Shift The Pyro and Yajuu for helping me get into Jade Quarry.

valakivi · Jun 27, 2006, 02:46 AM // 02:46

It really helps using Leighwyn's method changing fast between the pics btw.

Yajuu · Jun 27, 2006, 02:48 AM // 02:48

Congrats!!!!

Shyft the Pyro · Jun 27, 2006, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Congrats indeed, and good luck to the rest who are still trying! Don't lose hope - it can be done!

Yajuu:: I've only looked at your jade quarry update link map, and had to respond to defend how awesome my method is

Here's where you're lacking on that particular screen shot:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can't be helped based on those screenshots. The resolution is too small, the cloud cover obscures a lot, and if I were to zoom in to check for differences all I'd see would be blurs because you didn't stitch together multiple screenshots of your "U" window as has been suggested many times in this thread.

If you've been using the zoomed out map to compare with other maps, stop now. Use Leighwyn's method: put GW in windowed mode, stretch the U window as wide as it goes, open Leighwyn's map in an image viewer, zoom into both until they're about the same size, and ALT+TAB rapidly between them. That alone should get you to about 99%, and if you need help after that please don't give us useless screenshots like the ones you took above to compare with.

At least two other people have done the same in the last 3 pages of this thread, and it makes me sad that A) they didn't read directions and B) I can't help them

4thVariety · Jun 27, 2006, 03:53 PM // 15:53

just hit 100% Cantha with my Tyrian character. Extremely annoying; one can't miss out on too many spots.
Canthans sure have it much easier since the starting area counts so much.

Archangel Avoca · Jun 28, 2006, 03:56 PM // 15:56

I am at 99.7% and was wondering what else on my map I needed. I have no clue how to get to some of the areas I have circled.

I recently got part in aspenwood gate and imperial sanctum that I have not updated.

My map was put over TC Fish's to spot these areas.

I know Shiro's banishment area isn't fully done, but i keep getting banished to the same place at the moment so i guess il keep trying :/

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6672/99map6br.jpg

Edit: Ive picked up another .1% with a bit in the Sunjiang District and a small area in the north Maishang Hills area near Bai Pasuu reach but im still struggling to find any more

Help >_<

Still need help

Even with the quick change between maps method, still finding it hard to get the last .9%

You still are missing around Imperial Sanctum. Take hench, and walk around the zone, you don't need to be banished for the area I am talking about. Also take a look at the bottom part of silent surf where the saltspray dragons are.

Maishang Hills still has a spot. I think it might be activated in town in Bai Su, but it might be outside of it.

Wajjun Bazzar is not complete, you still have part of a boat on the docks covered up.

If this still is not enough check out the southernmost edge in the Shenzun Tunnels.

Hope this helps.

Try the very south part of Unwaking Waters - the "tail" end of the island on the east side. You can only open it up from inside the mission by going south after you emerge from the gate. Make sure to either hench it in the middle of the day when no one's on or to stick around for the whole mission to avoid giving cartographers a bad name

You can pick up a bit more in Jade Quarry: one piece on the west side, probably in the corner against the Kurzick base, and another on the east side, probably inside the wall behind the quarry NPCs. The part north of Jade Quarry can probably be uncovered by going into the wall behind the quarry NPCs on the west side.

Check the NW part of Boreas Seabed town. Walk the bridges, hug the walls. You have a bit to uncover there.

Hug the east wall in Zin Ku Corridor instead of heading out the exit to Sunjiang District. There should be a weaponsmith against the wall in the spot you're missing.

Get the tiny bit of the river NE of Senji's Corner by walking to that spot from below, in the Undercity. If you don't have the local quarter of Vizunah Square as a Tyrian, either walk some Canthans there (as I did) or, starting out of the Marketplace, walk along the south wall of Bukdek Byway into the Undercity, proceed along the north wall until you can no longer go east and then turn south along the east wall.

Check the explorable Nahpui Quarter again. You have a bit of fog to uncover in the SW part of the burned-out area. Make sure to squeeze into every crevice you can after eliminating the Am Fah.

You can pick up a tiny bit along the north wall in Ferndale.

There is more fog you can clear inside the Fort Aspenwood mission if you stick to the SE corner and wall.

The pier at the very south of Silent Surf on Leighwyn's map looks to be unfogged a tiny bit further than yours. Try clearing the island above it and squeezing as close to it as you can. Start from the Luxon Unwaking Waters for convenience.

I got the above by comparing the image you've linked in your post with my downloaded copy of Leighwyn's map. It's much easier to line up and compare the two when you don't have to ALT+TAB with GW itself, since there is usually a small delay (especially on slower computers). Hopefully it'll keep you busy for a while

No offense to TC Fish, but I find Leighwyn's map much better for getting the title simply because it does not have town icons which can obscure some terrain (as they did for me).

My best guess is that the spots in Shenzun Tunnels can be cleared by hugging the walls and finding the right crevices to squeeze into. Thankfully, if you leave from Tahnnakai Temple and hug the north wall heading west, you only have to fight through a single mob of Am Fah on the way to check the top spot in the area. The bottom spot is harder to reach, and I recommend starting out of Senji's Corner and going backwards through the explorable Nahpui Quarter to get to it with minimum difficulty (read: no afflicted mobs).

For uncovering the east and west bits of the Jade Quarry, use the tips I outlined above.

The spot south of Durheim Archives seems pretty straightforward - it's either in town, outside town in Morostav Trail, or outside town in Mourning Veil Falls. Should be easy enough to check.

All the other circles are crossed out, so I assume you've opened them all up. If you need help finding missing spots rather than getting to them, please provide a copy of your map by stitching several screenshots of your "U" window together.

Archangel Avoca · Jun 28, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

I reposted my map with the U except for the area on the island. I don't know if the spots from TC agree,but I am checking against Leiw again... Thanks!
