98.1%! Looks like I missed a tidbit of watchtower coast.

**cosyfiep** · May 10, 2006, 10:57 PM // 22:57

hm, only got another .2 for redoing nolani....up to 96.7% and lost as to where another 3% is hiding on my mostly clear map....................(since I sincerely doubt the small edges of 2 missions will net me that much---they havent as of yet).

I am starting to think it is impossible for me to accomplish 100% given the following: 1. I just started GW in january so the old arena areas are unavailable to me. 2. I never bothered to do the Ascalon and Yak arenas and now my level is too high to visit those places.

My % is currently 96.9%. I have compared my map to Leighwyn's (Thank you for this btw) and I am hard pressed to find any differences.

With the exception of the fire isles missions, I have redone every mission and exposed all of the 'bonus' areas. Again, my map is identical to leigh's for all mission areas and other map areas as well.

I can see two areas in the fire isles that i need to hit. But this will add a couple of .1's if im lucky. Basically all the gains I have had since I hit 92% or so has been in .1 increments.

So with 96.9% this means there are still 31 spots I have missed. I find this highly unlikely.

Has anyone else run into this type of situation?

It seems like a lot of people feel as you do, yzeass, so I'm going to also upload my zoomed-out map. In all honesty, comparing between mine and a 100%-er's zoomed out maps is how I found a lot of where I was lacking (reference the thread in the Tyrian Explorer forum).

I'll reiterate the technique that someone posted in that thread:

Download my zoomed-out map
Save a Screen of your own zoomed-out map
Rename both of these such that they are alphabetically consecutive
Run / Download & Install IrfanView (free)
Open the first image in it and hit Enter to enter fullscreen
Hit the right arrow to advance to the second image, hit left, hit right, keep quickly flashing back and forth between the two

You should be able to find the variables using this method, that's the way I found mine. The method really shines for shiverpeaks areas, but can be tricky for Ascalon and Jungle thanks to cloud cover.

I put the image as a second link in the original post.

I really need help finding my last 2% for my 100%. I've searched all over but I just can't seem to find the places I need so I stiched up my maps to see if anyone can at least give me a relative place to look. This is driving me crazy >_<.

So not sure if it's been confirmed or not, but is it impossible for Canthan Characters to get 100% in Tyria and Tyrians 100% in Cantha?

Seems like it would not be possible with missions and thier areas being not accessable.

I am at 99.4 but I can still tell the difference between my map and his map, 98% should have no difficulties

i just spent 2 mins and found this

Leighwyn · May 11, 2006, 07:45 AM // 07:45

Here is what I've found, Bartuc:

ASCALON
--------------
Nolani western and southern edges, check those.

Grenditch Courthouse city, back area. Run around in it.

NORTH SHIVERPEAKS
---------------------------------
Outside Ice Cave, the very NW corner of the zone.

On Frost Gate mission, western edge, a little below the ice cave would be a good landmark. Its the blackish area outside explorable space.

Eastern edge of the zone with all the losaru, between ice cave and beacon's perch.

DESERT
----------------
Amnoon Oasis, itself. West part.

Southwest corner of Thirsty River

Southeast corner of Thirsty River

Southeast corner of Arid Sea

Northwest corner of Dunes of Despair

SOUTHERN SHIVERPEAKS
------------------------
Northern part of the "Talus Chute Secret Area" on the easter edge

Northern edge of Frozen Forest (pretty much whole thing)

Eastern edge of Iron Mines mission (a few various places)

Found a spot that IM missing in Tasca's, thanks

A dot in Snakes Dance on the western edge, almost exaclty opposite the Sorrow's Furnace zone (furnace, not grenth's footprint)

THE HUGE IMAGE (hard for me to tell, but I will try)
-----------------------------------------------
Gates of Kryta Northeast corner, where you take the back path by Oink and there are bunches of undead

Northwest corner of Divinity mission, as well as its northern edge in places

The very Northeastern corner of the Villainy of Galrath zone.

I found a dot missing on mine in Taamek or whatever, SE corner, some island.

Thats all I've got, but i'll look at your zoomed out map to be certain

Leighwyn · May 11, 2006, 07:55 AM // 07:55

Addendum for stuff from zoomed out map.....

More than just the SE corner of Arid Sea, there is a spot missing on the southern edge where the dark rockish thing is.

Western edge of the southeast zone of ascalon, i forget its name. The one that when you exit Fort Ranik, you're already in.

Also the Nolani fort at the very south, missing some in the back of it.

Northern edge of the Ice Cave zone, about 2/3 of the way if you're moving east from the left. Also all of the western edge, though it may be clouds. Worth checking to be sure.

A spot on the south eastern edge of Frost Gate, to go along with the one mentioned above.

Southwest edge of the zone when you exit Bloodstone Fen. May be clouds.

Very eastern edge of Ascalon (the kingdom), sort of even with the Great Northern Wall pin.

A spot in either Borlis Pass or the zone above it, vertically aligned with Droknar's pin (I don't see a good match anywhere closer for its location)

A big area in the very north edge of the Yak's Bend zone, may be the arena but I dont think ALL of it is.

Tired....reply back when all of these many spots are done with what your percentage is now.

The thing is weren't those groups part of the bonus.... the ones at the back never seem to move at all (i had a look after i did the bonus) but the ones at the sides we're gone.

Also i've done the mission yet again and revealed that small area that was cloudy.... and i'm still at 99.9%

I don't understand, when should I reveal the backline without mursaat attack? before killing the fort boss? I can't reveal the top left coner after the cutscence becasue there are too many mursaat.

Buzzer · May 11, 2006, 02:39 PM // 14:39

If you have some free time Leighwyn, can you look at this please?
Zoomed out map
I've highlighted some bits in red which I know can be uncovered.

Leighwyn · May 12, 2006, 12:26 AM // 00:26

I will check it out later today. Also, did a major overhaul of the map, fixing about 10 tiny holes it had. There is still the one spot in Lornar's, two spots on eastern Iron Mines border, and I am going to try Hell's again to see if i can get anymore. Other than those four spots, let me know if you all find anything else.

edit: Here is your list, Buzzer:

North edge of the zone between Yaks and Ascalon stuff, the foothills

spot in the southwest area of Iron Horse Mine zone

North, West edges of anvil rock and maybe some interior points, hard to tell with clouds

West edge at start of frost gate

very SW corner of frost gate, which is revealed from Lornar's Pass eastern edge corner area

Middleish area of Gates of Kryta mission, one of the peninsulas that juts out westward into the snaking river. The southern edge of that

Northern edge of Sanctum Cay mission, where the beach is there. Go all along it.

Southern edge of Kessex Peak

The Wilds mission lake in the NE, you can reveal the whole far edge of it

Also the orange stuff in the SW corner of Wilds, can reveal more there.

SW edge of Silverwood

SE corner of The Falls (while you're there to get the NW part, hit this)

Aurora Glade bonus area, in the back of the end of the mission (to the far east)

Bottom of Maguuma Stade city pin thing

Very western part of Sanctum Cay, which you reveal from the Riverside mission at the far east, where the docks are.

South-middle edge of Grenth's Footprint

A bit on the eastern edge of Spearhead Peak, basically level with the Sorrow's Furnace entrance zone

Western and Southern edges of Mineral Springs, as well as some of the Ice Cave in the NE of that zone.

Both sides (E, W edges) of iron mines mission, various places

Frozen Forest Northern edge, mostly all of it.

Talus Chute, north edge pretty far over to the west

Very west of Ice Floe, you can reveal a bit of land that will connect with Ice Caves mission area

Thunderhead Keep, the eastern edge at the end area.

Snakes Dance, a dot on the western edge opposite the Sorrow Furnace entrance pit zone thing

Thirsty River, whole southern edge.

Dunes mission SW corner

West edge just outside Hero's Audience

Interior portion of desert, in Prophet's Path near the zone to Salt Flats.

Very southern tip of Hell's Precipice

Ice cave of the Borlis Pass mission, the southern edge of it.

Thats all I can see so far, get those done with and repost your updated map and I may notice others!

Oh, and on Sanctum Cay you have those two red circles. You should draw a third circle above the two, since you are missing a spot there also.

**cosyfiep** · May 12, 2006, 04:42 AM // 04:42

here is my latest map......I still have thunderhead to do and a bit of the sanctum mission to run to (and the corner of dunes and that annoying spot on the 1st mission which I need someone to give me good enough directions to get to).......but think these will not net me another 1.8% when the biggest areas I had fogged only netted me .2....

I need some additional help finding that last %

Leighwyn · May 12, 2006, 04:59 AM // 04:59

Is there any way for you to get a res higher than 1024x768? It's really hard to see things that small. Even if your comp runs it poorly, just for screening is there a way to bump it up.

**cosyfiep** · May 12, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

no, its a laptop and thats the best I can do.....I can do the screen shots of the smaller maps (U) if that would help

Buzzer · May 12, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

You are a champ Leighwyn. Off I go to fill in the map

**cosyfiep** · May 13, 2006, 07:42 AM // 07:42

here are the first bunch of maps..ascalon and the top of shiverpeaks

**cosyfiep** · May 13, 2006, 07:51 AM // 07:51

and the next group...........

**cosyfiep** · May 13, 2006, 08:00 AM // 08:00
