Yeah the last percentages can be difficult. if your worried about viruses with texmod(which probably wont happen) then do it the old fashioned way..hug every wall on every map. Though u wont get 100% this way i think its safe to say that u missed areas in Sanctum Cay mission, Aurora Glade outpost(there is a lil path in the town that no one seems to see), The Great Northern wall mission(when running away from the charr explore where the mobs come from..make take several tries due to time issues), and probably other various areas i cant think of.
If ur going for vanquisher/defender titles just vanquish the area then map 2 birds with 1 stone kinda thing
I have legendary cartographer without using texmod for phrophocies so im just suggesting areas i was missing at the end.

Also, bring some good friends..it makes grinding up on walls fun

bajjen,

at the top of the Prophecies Explorer’s League is this sticky.
It contans all information you would need, somewhere on page 3 I even posted the U-map screens (posting 54 and 55).
Those are far more detailed than a compare of your screen (which is at a very low resolution, which makes it a pain to compare).

Furtermore, while you may think you are stuck at 94%, believe me, everything below 99.5% is relatively easy to spot.

I'm not going to promote Texmod, I like exploration the old-facioned way.

Good luck exploring!

i have question about the wilds(mission) in wiki say that u need to use nercotic travel/consume corp on evenia after u do all that trick to kill her and then to reach in this spot http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imag...ilds_Cheat.jpg well does it work with a shadow step skill? for example ebon escape

Snograt · Mar 31, 2009, 09:28 PM // 21:28

I don't think it would - if I remember correctly, shadow-stepping only allows you to "step" to a place that you could otherwise walk to. It's not a true teleportation like [[necrotic traversal] or [[consume corpse].

the_jos · Apr 01, 2009, 10:49 AM // 10:49

It doesn't. The difference between teleport skills and shadow step is that there must be a real path to the person you step to. It's just a shortcut. Teleports gets you to a corpse, regardless of availability of a path.

Im at 99.6% right now. Is this Fort Koga, and thus not accessible any more?

the_jos · Apr 08, 2009, 10:59 AM // 10:59

As far as I know it's not explorable anymore, I think it's the old arena indeed.

Good luck with the final .4%.

If you need reference, the U-maps in #54 and #55 (page 3) are about as clean as you can get them on a lvl20 character (no old arena's, no low-level arena's) but I think they don't include the arena at Droknar's which is accessible again by beating the game.

Folks:

What's the best method of scraping? I am currently using mouse and my arrow buttons...or the "R" or "W" buttons. Is another, more effective way? I'm at exactly 99% and have done every area by following the sticky at the beginning of this thread (was at about 95% on my own, so did make it to Master level...

) - is there a trick to getting that little bit of shadow right on the edge of the map to clear?

Thanks for the input.

Snograt · Apr 26, 2009, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Mouse and WASD for me. The trick is to be really thorough. If there's a shadowy bit that you feel certain can be unfogged from where you are, persist in running into the wall until it clears. Sit there a couple of minutes - try it from all possible angles, just keep trying until it clears or until you're certain that you can't do it from there after all.

ELTQ · Apr 26, 2009, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Thanks. This is frustrating...I have a feeling that of all the titles I go for, this will be the most difficult...

Snograt · Apr 26, 2009, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Yes, it's a real pain in the Yakkington.

But oh, so satisfying when you finally hit 100%

ELTQ · Apr 26, 2009, 09:57 PM // 21:57

Well...up to 99.3% after a few hours of fun today - finally got a last little bit in Dunes, and picked up another .1 in the Ring of Fire Mish. There's still a little spot that's clouded on RoF, so I'm going back in (got killed b/c paying too much attention to mapping...duh!).

After that, I have no idea - I printed up each of the maps and am using them...nothing stands out...guh. Can't wait til this is done...not much fun.

ELTQ · Apr 28, 2009, 04:59 AM // 04:59

99.6%...found a spot in the upper northeast corner behind Hablion in Bloodstone Fen.

Another spot just after entering The Falls along the southeast wall - a lot of bad stuff to kill, do that first, then go back and map.

.4 to go...

the_jos · Apr 28, 2009, 10:58 AM // 10:58

ELTQ,

Good luck with your final .4%.
Are you using Texmod? Any other reference? Or just exploring everything you've not been yet?

ELTQ · Apr 29, 2009, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Actually - just hit 100% this morning...FINALLY!!!

My Ranger - Eterna Rionne.

What I did was use the list on the first page here and went through step by step...that took me from about 93% up to 99.6%...then I used the maps in posts 53 & 54 on this thread and compared side by side. Ironically that got me to 99.9%. The last two areas I cleared was a mountain at the very south of Arid Sea (east side - you have to be in the corner), and the First path to the right of Abaddon's Mouth - DON'T go to the fortress to attack, take the path to the right when in the mission.

Today is Wednesday - it took me a week of steady playing to get from 93% to the title...

And you're right - I am stoked. Thanks for your assistance!

Warbog The Slayer · May 07, 2009, 05:19 PM // 17:19

can some1 tell me pls how can i get this spot near frost gate(outpost)gw012.jpg

ELTQ · May 08, 2009, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Drag teh eastern cliff face in Anvil Rock...that will clear out the majority of that area.

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to share there cartography tips in these posts as I just completed my Legendary Cartography title without the use of Texmod. I found the lists of frequently missed locations to be an invaluable tool in helping me find the last 4.1% I needed. I found the majority of it in the missions.

Once again thank you and good luck all.

It's nice to hear people are still getting their carto title without Texmod.
Congratulations on your achievement.
And it's a pleasure to help, even though the original posting of frequently missed spots is over two years old now

got my 100% tyria few days ago and was very surprised how much left id got to map. this is bang on 100% and look at how much left there is! more forgiving than cantha and nightfall.

so dont be too worried about not managing to get a paticular bit on the map, you'll have plenty over.
