hHaha...that's what you think until you have to search for every nook and cranny and have to be almost perfect....99.5% right now and I am starting to notice no difference in both my map and Leighwyn's except that some spots on my map look even less cloudy. :-\ I am not sure what to do ATM but know that I am missing some jade quarry for another .1%

My advice to you is to take screenshots of your "U" window, and either stitch them into a single image or line them up side by side as previous posters have done. If you share them, someone might be able to take a look at them. If you don't, it's still easier to line up the images for yourself when you don't have to ALT+TAB into Guild Wars.

Still, as of right now you should probably be paying more attention to the dragon festival, especially since it can let your Tyrian character uncover the Monastery Overlook area (though it won't show up on the map as "Monastery Overlook" since you're entering an extension of the district and not an explorable area).

So use Leighwyn's map on page 2 of this thread. It has enabled several people to reach 100% already.

tortugan · Jul 01, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

ok now I made about 16 screenie of my entire minimap thingie, I did look at the 100% maps but could only find 0.4%, I was hoping someone else would see what I didn't see.

Well, eyeball comparisons with Leighwyn's map got me to 99.1%. Seems his/her map is in a different resolution and won't align with my map, and my monitor freaks out when I try to alter the resolution within GW so...

(Finally realized Adobe CS had photomerge after trying to handstitch everything)

Edit: General areas (even just saying Eternal Grove explorable) is more than fine.

So...it's times like these that make me wonder if perhaps I was blessed with some bionic eyeball. Or maybe it's just that I follow directions. Or perhaps still it's that I have more patience and attention than a lot of other people.

At any rate, tortugan, I looked at your maps and found, oh, about 30 spots you're missing. Many such spots are COMPLETELY obvious which makes it seem like your own comparisons were taking too much of your own time, and you gave up and dumped the workload on someone else

Going from top to bottom (numbers indicate which image I am referring to):

1) NE corner of Fort Aspenwood, which is basically the eastern wall accessible from the Luxon side.

West and north parts of Jade Quarry, most easily accessible from the Kurzick side. Hug the west wall between base and quarry, enter the quarry behind the NPCs, and enter the quarry on the east side in the same manner if you want to pick up a little spot not displayed on Leighwyn's map.

2) You can pick up a spot along the north wall in Rhea's Crater by starting off from Leviathan Pits. Make sure to squeeze against a block of jade in the passage heading east from the boss spawn area - that's where it popped up for me.

3) Pick up a bit just east of Cavalon by hugging the west wall in Maishang Hills after zoning there from Archipelagos.

4) Make sure to hug the east wall of Haiju Lagoon and go to the very end of Hanzing Pier (the place you find Jatoro Musagi at the end of the Captured Son quest). When starting from Zen Daijun, hug the east wall right away and uncover a bit behind the shrine along the east wall right outside the gate.

6) Open up more of Dragon's Throat outpost by walking out of the gate and getting as close to going back in as possible without actually going back in.

Clear the rest of Imperial Sanctum: hug the walls of the "battle" area with henchies, and get yourself a "banishment buddy" to uncover the banishment area and the very top (between the two towers).

Hug the north and east walls inside the Vizunah Square mission.

7) Clear up the NW corner of the explorable Minister Cho's Estate. You've missed two other spots in the same zone: one near the entry along the south wall, and another at the very bottom of the eastern wall against the mountain.

Hug the west wall of Kinya Province. You've failed to completely unfog some islands, and the one at the mouth of the waterfall is missing from your map completely.

8) Hug the east wall inside the Kurzick Aspenwood Gate, then head west out of there and hug the north wall of Ferndale.

9) Pick up a spot from inside the town of Boreas Seabed by traversing the bridges and going as far north as you can.

In Pongmei Valley, head to the Yeti cave near the horseshoe-shaped waterfall. You should be able to pick up a bit there.

11) Unfog the NW corner of the Kurzick Unwaking Waters from inside the town, then head west along the north wall of Morostav Trail to pick up more.

12) Hug the south wall of Mourning Veil Falls. The spot you're missing forms an equilateral triangle with the exits to Amatz Basin and the explorable Eternal Grove.

You can pick up another bit along the east wall in Morostav Trail by heading south out of the Kurzick Unwaking Waters.

13) Pick up the very bottom of the SE island inside the Unwaking Waters by heading south out of the gate after entering the mission. Please either go in at off-peak hours and hope for a team of henchies to join you on the other side, or gear up to help people complete the mission after you get the spot you're missing.

14) You're missing several spots in Shenzun Tunnels. Walk the north wall of the zone by heading out of Tahnnakai Temple so you only have to fight one mob of Am Fah, and then head to the center of the zone to pick up a bit of fog you've left there.

Make sure to hug the edges of the burned-out area inside the explorable Nahpui Quarter where the Am Fah live as closely as you can.

15) Hug the east wall in Panjiang Peninsula.

16) Squeeze into a tiny spot along the west wall in the explorable Eternal Grove - it's on about the same level horizontally as the zone point into the mission.

19) You can pick up a tiny bit more above Arborstone by hugging the west wall of the "top" level and heading north.

20) You seem to be missing some spots at the very top of Sunjiang District, but I can't be sure because you didn't include a map of that area despite all the duplicate shots

Next time, please avoid posting duplicate maps of the same area. I may have missed some spots because I couldn't stand looking at nearly the same screenshot for the second time. Also, try using ALT+TAB to compare on your own against Leighwyn's map - it should be easier now that you don't have to get into GW, and it is just what I used to locate the areas you're missing.

Do not adjust the resolution you play GW with! Instead, use your mousewheel to zoom in and out of the "U" minimap, and zoom into Leighwyn's map to bring the image to a similar size.

You're missing:

-The eastern wall of the Vizunah Square mission;
-A spot in the NW corner of Shenzun Tunnels, along the north wall;
-Several spots inside Sunjiang District, heading west along the north wall from Zin Ku Corridor;
-the SE corner inside the Zin Ku Corridor outpost;
-the north wall inside the Boreas Seabed outpost;
-a tiny bit along the north wall of Maishang Hills, east of Bai Paasu Reach;
-a spot between Cavalon and Gyala Hatchery, reachable by hugging the east wall after entering Maishang Hills from Archipelagos;
-a spot between Breaker Hollow and Luxon Jade Flats;
-the west wall of Jade Quarry;
-a spot along the north wall in Rhea's Crater (see above for directions);
-the south corner of Rhea's Crater, heading east from Seafarer's Rest;
-the SE corner of Unwaking Waters, reachable from within the mission (see above for directions);
-the SE corner of Fort Aspenwood;
-a spot in Ferndale just east of House Zu Heltzer;
-the NW corner of Mourning Veil Falls;
-the NE corner of Mourning Veil Falls;
-the eastern wall of Morostav Trail heading south from Kurzick Unwaking Waters.

And I don't understand your comment about 'eyeball comparisons.' I do all my comparisons with my eyeballs, so I guess I just have better ones

I feel your pain

Please, people, if you go as far as to take screenshots of your own map for others to compare Leighwyn's map to, at least take the time to compare them yourself. It's really much easier to line up your screenshots with his map when you don't have to ALT+TAB into GW, especially considering that GW takes a lot of processor space and that you can zoom equally into both screenshots since you're likely to use the same program to open both.

I don't mind helping out people with their cartography titles, but one of these days my summer vacation is going to end and I won't be able to. I'll give you a fish if you can't learn to fish yourself, but that doesn't mean you don't have to try.

dwc89 · Jul 01, 2006, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Reached 100% earlier today

. Thanks to all who posted maps and helped with suggestions of where to go.
As with Tyria I found a lot of edge walking essential, even in places I thought I had done earlier. I got to 100% while going back over Naphui Quater explorable - the SW section where it is very dark, just walked the edge again.
Again thanks.

I've managed to get myself up to 99.3% using the compare methods to the map posted in the second page.

I've been looking endlessly for the past 2 days and I just can't seem to find that last .7%. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Here are my maps:

If I am missing something (didn't SS all areas) let me know. Thanks!!

PS: I have the area south of Shing Jae and the noobie pvp arena already explored, so I'm guessing that there is still a pretty significant amount that I am missing.

EDIT: I found that I missed the lake on the west side of Sing Jae Island, also the river mouth north of amatz (greenish color) - filled that in and I'm at 99.3% now.

Well Shyft....I did get the Monastary Overlook Area and that is how I was able to get so much last night....if i could ever get a group for the quarry I could definately sqeeze another .1% but I will try to get a picture posted soon.

tharaver · Jul 02, 2006, 05:49 AM // 05:49

99.4% now. Is there a way to get to the lower level of tanglewood copse? Theres a huge section of river I'm missing and No matter what I do, I can't uncover it. Ive even tried it from the Arborstone side. Thanks

tortugan · Jul 02, 2006, 06:34 AM // 06:34

very sorry Leighwyn

, I should have looked more closely.
thanks for the help tho, and sorry

I'm at 99.9%! AHHHHHHHHH! WHERE IS IT!!!!!!!

....rant over. I know you guys are the only ones that understand...

EDIT: Got it! I've lurked this thread alot. Thanks a bunch the Leighwyn and TC Fish!

Soup Erman · Jul 03, 2006, 02:06 PM // 14:06

is it just me or does this link: http://www.directupload.net/images/060509/2m92txGZ.jpg not work? If anyone could host it elsewhere that would be awesome

I'm at 99.7% and have no idea where the last 0.3% is. Unfortunately I missed the Shing Jea arena, so is it even possible to get still?

edit: nvm I found leighwyns map, big help. Found a few spots but they still only put me up another 0.1% ><
