Just wondering, does my map have that spot fully clear? Or can I clear more of it?

I've been reading thro all the posts this morning, the spots ppl don't have i seem to have (my previous post of the other page shows the maps)....so i've no idea where to get the last 0.8%

Maska Rayde · Aug 27, 2006, 03:04 PM // 15:04

It's similar to me, sour fruit - I went and checked the maps which show common spots people seem to miss and I did see a few of them which I have now checked out, but there's more that I haven't got that I can't seem to see (apart from the two spots I mentioned on the previous page).

It's probably something obvious and I will end up kicking myself! XD The people here have been great and I really hope I'll be able to find the remaining 0.6% this way.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I have that area and there is no island:

If anyone could help me that would be great!

I only had a look at Shin Jea and saw the following:

I also don't see a pic of the arena, so you need to travel over to that outpost as well.

I imagine there are heaps of other spots on the other maps as well. Take a look at this thread and use the maps on post 2:

I am pretty sure that two spots I need are the Nahpui Quarter explorable one (I've tried this but I think I'll have to go back and try again until I hit it) and a patch of fog in the multicoloured part near Maatu Keep.

Yes the Shing Jea is too small for me to compare.

Here are a few I saw:

http://www.gothic-rose.net/Guildwars...Qinkai%203.jpg

I stopped right there as I think you could get most of them yourself by using the same thread and maps as I suggested to jtchans in this post.

In your Shing Jea map you cut off some of the north pieces which are important areas to compare.

http://www.gothic-rose.net/Guildwars/ShingJea%201.jpg

19
20

http://www.gothic-rose.net/Guildwars/Kaineng%202.jpg

19 (I believe, especially around the left of it.)

Once again check the other thread and the maps on it.

I'd check more for you guys but I just got back from a weekend Scout meet and I'm wore out and need to go to sleep. I think if you check the maps on the thread I gave you, you should be able to hit the one's you need for the title.

You still need to do Leighwyn's back and forth overlap technique, even when using my maps as the difference is often so subtle that I won't even be able to see it when I have looked at the same damn spots nearly a hundred times. So if you are just looking back and forth without overlapping, you are probably seeing spots that you are missing, but your eye isn't registering. If you line up the exact spots and tab back and forth, you don't need good eyes as long as you can see the map in a normal fashion, as they will be very apparent, but only when flipping back and forth, with the overlap.

Just to make sure you know, those weren't the only one's you were missing, just the first ones that I noticed with a quick check. So if you check my maps fully yourself, you should find heaps more.

Also to hit 20, you will need to go out on the island above it that has the lightning tossing snake boss.

Cheers,
Livingston

Head north out of Leviathan Pits into Gyala Hatchery explorable. Keep going west hugging the south wall of that zone until you get to the big island NW of the Leviathan ship. Kill the boss mob, turn south. Kill the oni spawn. Move as far south as you can and keep moving around until you uncover the tiny island.

You're still missing:

-NW corner of Minister Cho's Estate explorable;
-north and west walls of Kinya Province;
-SW corner of Shing Jea Monastery outpost;
-north wall of Jaya Bluffs;
-west wall of Nahpui Quarter explorable;
-NW corner of Shenzun Tunnels;
-SE corner of Divine Path;
-north, east and south walls of Vizunah Square mission (start from Foreign quarter);
-west and east walls of Tahnnakai Temple explorable;
-the farmland spot east of Maatu Keep;
-west wall and NE corner of Gyala Hatchery explorable;
-NW corner of Jade Quarry explorable;
-north wall and SE corner of Morostav Trail;
-NW corner of Unwaking Waters explorable.

I hate Photobucket because it resizes large screenshots. Please use a different host or post unmerged ones.

Your map has that particular spot cleared, though the link in this post is broken (extra ] at the end).

The specific spot I was referring to was #16, NE corner of Fort Aspenwood battle area, the tail end of the Leviathan ship. You can uncover that by asking the NPC on the Luxon side to "Replay the mission cinematic."

Since the end cinematic has been removed from Fort Aspenwood, it appears that the winning party is moved back into the outpost immediately. Jade Quarry, however, may have a secret spot that can be uncovered by watching the winning cinematic since the party has to stand somewhere in the battle area for its duration. That's just speculation on my part though.

Have you been comparing your map to Leighwyn's using his ALT+TAB method posted way back on page 2 of this thread? That is what I use to point out the missing spots to people.

Checking common spots won't be enough because the common spots aren't necessarily the same as the spots you're missing. The best and most accurate method to locate the spots you're missing is Leighwyn's ALT+TAB map comparison. You can find it and Leighwyn's map on page 2 of this thread.

Then you gave up too early when mapping that particular spot. I didn't have it either until I noticed that it was present on one of the incomplete maps posted in this thread. Follow my directions above to uncover it for yourself.

I tried the replay mission cinematic mapping trick mentioned above, But did not get a .1%.

I am now at 99.5% and am at a complete loss. My Maps are on the page 46. Please help

As mentioned before, each spot of fog will not necessarily move your exploration % bar. I've noticed that fog spots - meaning not "unfogged areas" but "the smallest possible area to unfog" - add up to about 1/3 of 0.1%, and it took me about three of these minor fog spots to advance my exploration % bar. Uncovering a particular spot you didn't have before does increase your progress towards the title even if it does not show in the title progression bar as a % increase.

Hi there, I'm still working on my title and I'm currently at 99.6%. However there are some spots I know I don't have but the game just won't let me uncover them : these are (based on Livingston's maps)
> Shing Jea 7
>Qinkai 4 - 5 - 16
> Kaineng 19 - 20
I'm certain I'm positionning the right way to get those but they just won't be revealed x(

For example I followed Livingston's instruction to get spot 20 on Kaineng near the NPC at Zin Ku but after 30+mins of wall hugging it wouldn't work.
If you have other ways to uncover these please let me know.

scrinner · Aug 27, 2006, 07:55 PM // 19:55

Sorry bout that, Imageshack can get annoying without multiple uploads and the numerous times it fails to upload. I Should have all maps here hopefully.

If you have other ways to uncover these please let me know.

Shing Jea 7: Try both from the east (pier) and the north (beach).

Qinkai 4: This is the "farmland spot" east of Maatu Keep. Make sure to hit all 3 surrounding zones - SE corner of Shenzun Tunnels, north wall of Pongmei Valley and SW corner of Sunjiang District explorable. Sunjiang District mission does not let you reach the SW corner of the zone.

Qinkai 5: This is the north wall of Boreas Seabed outpost.

Qinkai 16: As pointed out on this page, this spot is uncovered by asking the NPC in Luxon Fort Aspenwood outpost to "Replay the mission cinematic."

Kaineng 19: NW corner of Sunjiang District explorable.

Kaineng 20: This spot SW of Zin Ku Corridor outpost is uncovered from inside the outpost.

99.9% - cleared them areas you said above apart from:
-east wall of Haiju Lagoon;
-west wall of Kinya Province;
Not too sure how you mean :-)

What I mean is:

1) Download Leighwyn's map (provided on page 1 and 2 of this thread) and open it with the image viewing program of your choice.

2a) Start Guild Wars, get on your cartographer character, and open the "U" map as wide as you can.

2b) If you have a slow PC/video card/RAM, take screenshots of your "U" window stretched as wide as possible and open them with the image viewing program of your choice.

3) Line up Leighwyn's map and your map by using Leighwyn's ALT+TAB method (posted on page 2 of this thread).

4) Rapidly ALT+TAB between the two maps to let your eye pick up the differences between two nearly identical images.

I can't provide precise directions to every single spot because it's time consuming. Instead, I provide approximate directions in hope that if you know where to look you can locate the spot you're missing by comparing your map to Leighwyn's using his ALT+TAB method just like I did.

The internet isn't a very good medium for translating nuances of communication. It wasn't clear from your post why you weren't sure what I meant, so I went for the most common explanation (you did not compare maps).

In Haiju Lagoon you are missing a spot about halfway along the east wall. It's the "Sentimental Treasures" quest island, where a Ritualist boss guards a chest during that quest.

In Kinya Province you're missing some islands along the west wall, about level with the exit from Ran Musu Gardens.

Thanks for your help people!

It's so kind of you to be putting in your time and effort to help others out.

I really appreciate it. I will be checking out these areas soon and will post a pic of my character when I've completed my map!
