Yea Ill get that tomorrow as I'll be making a new Cantha character I think to grab some places I need back there before continuing. Basically I'm stuck atm as not too many are up to the same areas and its hard to get a group together... So I'll take the time to back track a little with a Faction Campaign...

I added the

Ran Musu Gardens
Minister Cho's Estate and Zen Daijun bips but not surroundings yet... that's what I'll work on tomorrow.

I do want to stress that this is still a work in progress, mostly for online use of our guild alliance. but anyone is welcome to use this for whatever they wish. All parties involved have agreed this should be just like the MOOMANiBE and Jungis Canthan Map Projects and be open and free to all that want to use or contribute to it as needed.

I also recommend HIGHLY the GuildWars Factions Official GuideBook. Which has a very good detailed world map in it. I thought about scanning it directly, but since it is copyrighted, Old style Print Screen mapping was a safer course to go. And that way it can be used for GWFreaks when we update it with all the skill caps and such...

Once we have the full map reviled, I will also release a "U" map with no Bips on it, so you can see the close up details better. However this does not help much in places like the UnderCity area. Which I still get lost in so easy. That entire regions has layers on layers. I counted at least 3 so far. So its a real mess to map.

Cantha Continental Map Project
Status:
* 90% ~ 95% complete
* Some unfogged portions came from the FPE Map this will be slowly replaced as new maps are unfogged. -> There are changes in the map itself from FPE to Final.
* Neutral Town-Ownership
* Some zones 100% unfogged (a long-way to go, to 100% unfogged each zones.)

Note: This is an open project. Feel free to update. Just use this thread. Or drop me a PM where I can get your map screenshots.
If you want to enhance the map, I can give you the photoshop file if you need it.

Get the map by downloading this zip file: http://Laibcoms.com/gwtemp/Cantha_Continental_Map.zip

This is a real zip file, do not rename/change the extension.

I strongly suggest you open it with Photoshop so as not to slow-down your PC. It's a 10mb jpeg file.

^^^
Very nicely done!!!

Is there anyway that when its complete that you can break it up into 6 or 8 (even more if needed) Pages so that I can print a high res copy of it and have my very own map???

If not I'll see what I can do.......cvs ----------> poster size

Bah, if you'd said something earlier I would've posted earlier

Not noticed anything else different between Local and Foreign stuff (only to Lutgardis/Cavalon though).

We found something today while playing. I took the Kurzik quest by mistake right after the Sunjiang mission so I was like Shoot I really screwed up. well I found a back way into Cavalon that I personally had completely forgot about from the FPE. I had promised I would not tell everyone untill I was sure my entire guild is able to get there.. But now that I reminded those that played in the FPE, they should remember the back way into Cavalon. Then you dont need the quest at all to open the gate. And you will be able to revile both sides of the map with your personal faction points.

There is not back way into House of Zu Heltzer.. you MUST take the Kur quest to get in there. but you have an alternative path for Cavalon. That's all I'll say...

Also I discovered a small bug, that I reported today... If you HAD Kurzik faction standing (as we did) and you change it to Luxon( as I did)... your Guild Hall has BOTH alliance battle NPCs allowing access to both areas... Just like they did during the FPE. I know for a fact this is not suppose to happen, so it was reported this morning... BUT its still working for our guild at this point. I have been guesting people into our Hall all day so they would be able to play on the luxon side since NO ONE seems to be over there atm. Now we have been having a few alliance battles... At least till that bug gets fixed... Which I got a Whisper about from a Dev and I guested him to see the problem... Which I was happy to do. So I expect that particular bug will not work long.

Also kryshnysh I tried to use your Screenshots but I think they must have been at a smaller esolution then I use for mapping as when I copied them into the map it was all distorted and out of place... Thanks for trying though...

EDIT: The last update fixed the above mentioned Guild Hall bug..

=HT=Ingram, I have a new version -> http://Laibcoms.com/gwtemp/Cantha_Continental_Map.zip

I used a new set of screenshots by using
the "U Map" (not the M Map), thanks to a moderator of another GW Fansite for the tip.

Use it as you see fit, or update from there (remove the credits if you want).
Try taking screenshots from the "U Map". Cloudless, no distortion and discoloring ^_^

=HT=Ingram · May 01, 2006, 08:38 AM // 08:38

ok thanks...

Great compile BTW. you always do such a great job. lol

1 more map Bip on the Luxon side Waking Waters... and some more detail on the Cantha Campaign Monistary area.. But basically its done.

I'll do one more update once I get those complete, And post a Full detailed U map at that point.

=HT=Ingram · May 01, 2006, 10:18 PM // 22:18

BTW I think Anet did a little Freudian slip on this leak from the Guide...

Looks like we got a few new Bips on Battle Isle to find now too... lol

=HT=Ingram · May 03, 2006, 01:38 AM // 01:38

Added Luxon side and the Canthan Arena and local districts...

Updated May 2nd 2006

This is my final update. There is plenty of others continuing where I leave off that is by far more talented then I. All this was ever for was a quick early reference resource. thanks to everyone...

Note: Laibeus I took your advice and removed the Control icons for each town, since they will likly change often.

Laibeus Lord · May 03, 2006, 08:34 AM // 08:34

np. ^_^ And no, you are as talented as other map makers ^_^
I merged your updates, as usual same link -> http://Laibcoms.com/gwtemp/Cantha_Continental_Map.zip

Great work for all involved ^_^ Now where's our parteh??
