I am also in need of help on this one. Tyria is a beast of a continent to explore, and I'm about at wit's end. I've gotten to 99.1% completion, and never has 0.9% seemed such a burden. If anyone can offer me some pointers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone that can help I'd really appreciate it. =]

Spamslayer,

My attempt to check your map is attached.

Good Luck (I hope I am giving folks their own maps back, LOL)

Wam Bam Jam,

Before you hit "print screen" press the "shift" key and hold it down until after the picture is created, that will prevent the text and push-pins and whatnot from being shown in your saved map.

I reviewed you map as it was, and the attached marked up version should help you out a bit. But there could be fogged areas under the other graphics that I could not detect.

Good Luck

Wam Bam Jam · Aug 12, 2007, 06:13 AM // 06:13

Thank you . Will try it. Will post again an tell you if it works. An if not I will also print the screen like you said. But most of all THANK YOU. For taking the time to look.

Caeles Cull,

Please check the attached map and see how much of that 0.9% I found.

Hi, and Good Luck

NOTE for all of my map checks, I am using maps generated by a Canthan-born character. So he has never been into any of the Tyrian arenas for low-level characters only. Tyrian-born characters will have stuff on their maps that will not appear on mine. When I do comparisons, I can't readily tell the difference between things you missed and things you were able to access I could not. Don't know how often this comes up, but I am sure it must.

Jam!!!!!!!!

I noticed your post and decided to do my own compare.
It shows the same spots Bill Easternview gave and some additional.
I marked some yellow, because I'm not sure if they are fogged or clouded.

Maps without the outpost marks are easier to compare.
When I compare, I look for changes on the map.
It's hard to ignore a large dot.
And with the new map, the dots cover much more ground than before.

Have fun exploring.

I scraped every last spot on my previous map check, but I'm still coming up .4% short. (There's one point that appears to be at the end of Borlis Pass, however I spent an hour trying to scrape that area out and still nothing was uncovered.)

Thanks in advance!

That spot at the end of borlis pass...I think I had the same spot as you to uncover. What I found was it was actually part of the Frost Gate mission. You have to do the trick where you Necrotic Traverse down to Prince Rurik, but instead of going forward to the end, go backwards up north. It's a very small piece that didn't account for even .1% (for me), but it helps.

By the way, thanks a ton for the help Bill! I'm now at 99.8%, but still have that pesky Thunderhead Keep to do (even though I swear I did it already).

I also tried the comparison method with photoshop for myself, but I don't know where to get a new 100% tyria map, 1024x768 or otherwise. Also, I don't really know what to look for. White specks? I'd like to know so that I might be able to repay you by taking some work off your hands here. :P

Wam Bam Jam · Aug 13, 2007, 12:26 AM // 00:26

Well a shout out to Bill!!!!!!!!! an to HADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [LotU] Glad to see you again

Ok. I did what you guys said got .2% more. more than what I had. Am at 99.6%
Plus this time I took a better Picture. Did the shift button thing. Hope that helps
Anyway. Still got a Few more spots to check. Thanks to you guys for helping me
there is light at the tunnel

Bill Easternview · Aug 13, 2007, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Please post maps for checking at the highest standard resolution you can set your graphics for. For Tyria especially, it's a big area, and maps at low resolutions like 800x600 are pretty much impossible to review. (Via the method I am using anyway.) Do not try to re-size a map either, the proportions always change making reviewing impossible.

Please post at: 1680x1050, 1440x900, 1400x1050 or 1280x1024

Thanks

Dynaverse,

Check the places marked on the attached map. They should fill in some of the blanks.

Good Luck

Caeles Cull,

Necrotic Traverse is a must skill for Cartographers! There is indeed stuff at both the north and south ends of Prince Ruriks road that can not be accessed any other way. Dunes of Despair (?) (the South-WEST corner of the desert) also demands use of Necrotic Traverse.

Both of those areas are at the top of my "frequently missed areas" list.

Lincoln,

Please press and hold down the <Shift> key while you are creating a screen-shot. That will supress the push-pins, names and whatnot from the saved map.

Please see if the spots on the attached map are of some help.

Good Luck

Caeles Cull · Aug 13, 2007, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Well, I've gotten to 99.9%. This is the part I hate most, since it's like a needle in a haystack. I've reposted my map at a higher resolution as requested, and would greatly appreciate it if you could have another look.
