I was wondering how you got to this part of Shing Jea (the part that is ciricled.) I tried from the Zen Daijn mission but the gates are closed and it will not let me enter the explorable because I am a tryian character.

Thanks.

Radiuju · Aug 10, 2006, 05:30 PM // 17:30

I'm at 99.1% But very stuck,..my map is still on page 32.

Right, here's the trick - if you can call it that - after you have done Zen Daijun you enter the area from Seitung Harbour, same as the 2nd attribute quest in cantha.

gah, 0.4% left! and i'm loosing hope

heres my map, http://www.head-spun.co.uk/99.5.jpg

I have since uncovered a small patch in shing jea monastry outpost, and a bit of gyala accessed via levithian.

0.4 and it seems like a world away!

I was going to make a post yesterday, but the forum ate 2+ hours worth of comparison work. Today, I've managed to cut my index finger with a key

but I'll still give it a shot.

All locked gates with NPCs in Factions open only when the character with the appropriate quest speaks to the NPC in front of the gate. As has already been stated, to get into Ze Daijun explorable or the Local quarter of Vizunah Square outpost a Tyrian character has to help a Canthan character do their quest, and have the Canthan character talk to the NPC. This will zone the entire party into the next area.

I'll post the spots you were missing anyway, just because I don't want my work to go to waste

As much as I'd love to help, I can't. You took "clear" screenshots of the overview map instead of the "U" window, so shadows are obscuring terrain. Leighwyn's ALT+TAB method relies on the eye being able to pick up minor differences in two otherwise identical images, and shadows put too much of a strain on the eye since the eye counts them as differences in addition to all the spots you might be missing.

You could have put all the images in one post if you put them on an image-hosting site like imageshack.us instead of attaching them through Guru.

The best way to clear the farmland east of Maatu Keep is to walk the edges of the three zones that border it: Shenzun Tunnels, Pongmei Valley and Sunjiang District explorable. You will not uncover as much (if anything) in the Sunjiang District mission.

As they say in Monty Python, you're missing some huge tracts of land. Please compare your screenshots to Leighwyn's map before posting because the differences are indeed huge, especially east wall of Gyala Hatchery explorable, west wall of Mourning Veil Falls, east wall of Morostav Trail, east wall of Vizunah Square mission and so on. You already have screenshots of your map, so you've got no excuse not to use Leighwyn's map and ALT+TAB method posted on page 2 of this thread.

Your problem is that you're not following directions. You stiched together "clean" screenshots of your overview map where you should have taken screenshots of your "U" window. As a result, you have the same problem as Poison Ivy - cloud cover creates shadows which interfere with the picture and make it much harder to pinpoint differences. Please retake the screenshots using your "U" window, and compare maps using the "U" window instead of the "clear" overview map if you've been doing it that way.

97% generally means you've got several big gaps in your maps, probably the size of Jade Quarry, rather than a lot of small spots to cover. The spots shouldn't be hard to spot when comparing your map to Leighwyn's using his ALT+TAB method (both posted in page 2 of this thread). Normally, I'd send you off to do that, but since you've been bothering me in-game to no end I'll take a look

Not that it matters any more, but if you'd used the "U" map instead of the overview one you would probably have spotted all the missing areas earlier

Hopefully that covers everyone. If I've missed someone, please post - after comparing your screenshots to Leighwyn's map, of course

Xeno Breaker · Aug 10, 2006, 08:03 PM // 20:03

Dunno if this has been asked or posted before, but i didnt want to go through 34 pages of posts, so no flaming.

Can any one post a 1280/1024 screen shot of 100% Defoged canthan map so i can do the difference test and figure out what i am missing. Thank you very much. currently stuck at 99.0% and kinda frustrated, just a tad bit.

Also maybe one of the admins can change the first post and add in some of the information people had put in. Seto other dont have to go through too many pages to find:

Thank you

Radiuju · Aug 11, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

I got 100%. thanks for looking and telling me what I missed everyone, you were a Giant help

LethaL ImpuLse · Aug 11, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Well, I actually hoped I would never have to post here for help after reading all the replies.. but here I am nevertheless. I'm stuck at 99.5%. Other than a part of Shiro's banishment area, here are some of the spots which I know I'm missing, but I don't know how to uncover them. HUGE thanks to anyone who helps.

(The images on the left sides are my versions, the right sides are from a 100% map.)

(I've tried wall hugging all over Sunjiang District for that one.)

Kaaris · Aug 11, 2006, 01:42 AM // 01:42

This one is fairly straightforward: head east out of the south exit of Durheim Archives and hug the wall around the waterfall.

I can't say I see any difference between the shots, though. Maybe a full-scale image of your "U" screen for comparison would show what you're missing better?

Quote:

To uncover this spot you need to head into the SW corner of Gyala Hatchery and squeeze into the wall at the very south tip of the island. Walk back and forth along the wall and turn in multiple directions before giving up.

Quote:

(I've tried wall hugging all over Sunjiang District for that one.)

Were you trying it in Sunjiang District mission or explorable? The SW corner of Sunjiang District is reachable only from the explorable due to a locked gate in the mission. If you've checked all of Sunjiang District, make sure you've also uncovered everything from the other two neighboring zones - Shenzun Tunnels and Pongmei Valley - and along the east wall inside Maatu Keep itself.

Again, though, I can't say I see much of a difference between the screenshots. How about a bigger version to verify you're missing something through comparison?

Quote:

Walk the west wall of Tahnnakai Temple explorable for that one. The west and east walls of the zone are reached through separate gates: the one in the center of the zone allows access to east part while the one at the west wall lets you uncover the west. It's the same gate that is locked at the very beginning of the Tahnnakai Temple mission.

Shyft, you seriously are mad! You must be very bored if you have that much time to help us all! Don't get me wrong - I really appreciate it! You should be given the title of "Grandmaster Cartographer God" on this forum!

Anyways, I got another 0.1% this morning, in the space of about 5 mins before I went to work, thanks to you! 98.9% now. I can't believe how much I have missed in the Echivold Forest, I hate exploring that place!!

Ah well...thanks again!

Always welcome. Echovald isn't that bad of a place except for the bosses, especially the elementalist at the NE corner of Ferndale. With a full hench team you should have your title in no time

LethaL ImpuLse · Aug 11, 2006, 08:03 PM // 20:03

Well.. I did get 2 of the spots I was missing, but that still leaves me at 99.8%. I did all the comparing and Photoshopping my eyes can handle so I really hope someone can help me out here. Much appreciated.

Thanks again for any help. Also, sorry if that's too many images, just wanted to make sure I caught everything.

Leighwyn · Aug 11, 2006, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Ooohhhhh my turn my turn. Here is the mystery spot that everyone seems to have but that refuses to reveal itself to me :P

Blah

CorstedPirate · Aug 11, 2006, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Say, I am not sure if this has been covered exactly. Just how much is actually in the Jade Quarry % wise? I'm at 97.4% and have not ever managed to enter that mission. I am hoping that doing so would help me finish up.

Tamer Of Souls · Aug 12, 2006, 12:27 AM // 00:27

Phew, allright, I have a new map... probably my 10th of the same character by now. I really hope this will be the last one and the very one which will grant me 100%.

The upper character is the one who needs help becoming more like the Rt lower on that picture

Just from looking at your map, I can tell you're missing this spot:

And a small spot near Fort Aspenwood. Just talk to the Kurzick commander in Fort Aspenwood and view the whole cinematic and it should be cleared. I know both of these spots only clears about .1%, but I hope I've helped you nevertheless.

Thanks, helped me with precisely 0,1%, which brings me 1/3 closer to the finish line. Not sure about the cinematics but the gyala bit I probably lag-skipped really got me rolling again.

p.s. got the map updated and uploaded in the post above.
