Hi, I was hoping someone could take a moment to look at my map also? I have 98.5%, and i know i have a strip in thk, and a touch in dunes, and lornar's Pass. But the amount that i see doesn't really look like 1.5% worth from the way things have been going.4

Click here for my map

Thanks for any help.

Hello, great job you guys are doing to offer your time up like this.
I am having alittle trouble also, i have been hovering around the 99% mark for a long time now and wondered if its not too much trouble if someone could please check my map out?
Here it is if someone has the time to run over it.

Thanks

I'm sitting at around 94%.....and after staring at that map for so long its all a blur, i cant see where I missed a whole 6%. Any help would be much appreciated^^

Thanks again Wobrak

(sorry for spelling your nick wrong

)

I've been running around all over Tyria trying to find places I've missed and also trying to reach places that you listed. That bit north of Ice caves was nasty! I re-ran that area about 10 times and couldn't not find a way to it. Then I got a guildie who managed to get 100% to show me the trick to another "end of the world" area that leads to it

Now to try get to these last few spots, staring at your own map for hours on end is not good. If you find yourself stuck, take a break. Otherwise it just kills your mood for exploring

Edit - Ok after looking at the map, can anyone give me some idea as to how to fully clear that area between Piken and GNW? Also the area next to Ascalon seems to be the arena area, not sure how to get there anymore

Will try the Sorrows Furnace entrance bit again, could be a little cloud there.

Hi guys, I'm currently at 99.8% this is my map. I hope you guys can help and thank you in advance.

Here's a quick comparison for ya.

The red circled areas need further work.

You can enter Ascalon Arena and walk around, you just can't fight there.

The other Ascalon area I circled can be accessed in the Great Northern Wall misssion. As you are running back after seeing the Charr there will be a path to your right before crossing the second bridge. Take that path and explore.

Sorrow's Furnace enterance, get as close as possible without actually entering. This should clean it up a bit more. I remember being within inches of the enterance to uncloud the area.

Nice work Wobark.

But I must remind you thast double posting is not allowed, even if its for two different people. There is no exception to this rule.

Please edit your exisiting posts in future.

And keep up the good work

In the world of Grandmaster Cartographer, 6% is a HUGE amount. You need to redo several missions and hug the walls in these missions to clear this up.

Redo: Great Northern Wall - Borlis Pass - Frost Gate - Gates of Kryta - Divinity Coast - The Wilds - Aurora Glade - Riverside Province - Sanctum Cay - Ice Caves of Sorrow - Iron Mines of Molandune - Thunderhead Keep - Dunes of Despair - Thirsty River

The red circled areas need further work.

*EDIT*
My apologizes Firebat, I will refrain from doing that in the future. Or I can start now.

Luciora · Sep 11, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Thanks Wobrak! I found that bit in Fort Ranik and then redid the Great northern Wall with the NT trick to skip the timer, walked for ages and then found a little path that I missed

Went to the last few spots and BOOM, 100%

All I can say to those at 99% is to hug those walls! Even when you think you got everything, there is always a spot you missed

Wobrak do you use the normal difference method to spot the areas or what? A few places that I just couldn't see and I'll gladly help analyze maps. Atleast I know which areas are easy to miss now

meepor · Sep 11, 2006, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Wobrak, hope you can help me out. Will gladly pass you 20k or so if you do

I'm on 99.5%.

I have 99.9% and am stumped on the final .1%
I know you check maps and would very much like your help on this.
But I dont know what map you would like U button M button or what.
Thanks for the help in advance

dwc89 · Sep 12, 2006, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Thanks Dougal - very much

Didn't expect so quick. Hoping that 1% isn't so far spread out as the map suggests. Anyway, again ty very much.

Congrats Luciora!!

When I compare maps I use Photoshop and a method suggested in this thread, color invert then color burn the map that is being used as the master. The differences between the maps show up better especially when looking at areas in the jungle.

Rit Gin dos,
The "M" map works. Make sure you hold "Shift-PrintScreen" so all the town shields don't show up in the screenshot.

Luciora · Sep 12, 2006, 07:10 AM // 07:10

Need to try that method, I've been using the difference method which is good for large areas but can be quite troublesome when you are busy with wall creeping

I'll have to have a look at the maps again and see what I find that way.

Rit Gin Dos, follow Wobraks' method but make sure that your game is fullscreen and set to a resolution of 1024 or 1280.

Oh and thanks Dougal

Oddly when I did find that last 0.1% it was a sigh of relief that left my lips and not a shout of joy

I think in the end it was worth it though, you learn quite a bit about the enemies when you are mapping instead of just rushing through an area. I also got the chance to really use each of my ele armour sets, instead of just looking pretty
