You don't.

Solar_Takfar · Nov 12, 2006, 04:09 AM // 04:09

ah. thanks for the answer. I was puzzled because I saw it dubbed an "explorable area" in some places. Now I'll begin the process of stitching together my U map for comparison, then.

LoKi Foxfire · Nov 12, 2006, 04:31 AM // 04:31

I'm at 99.6% without trying too hard... I'm working on doing quests at the moment. If anyone has any often missed spots, please do tell. :]

Grandmaster carto

As I did the layer comparison starting from the northeast, I found a couple tiny bits of fog, which brought me from 99.6 to 99.7. Then I panned over to Barbarous Shore, and it turned out I was missing a huge chunk: all of the terrain east of the river! So what happened was I only had to begin unfogging it and I was already at 100%. I finished it anyway, if the title still counted past 100% I'm sure I'd be at around 100.5%

Thanks for the nice tips, the guide is great

thx

Well thanks to SilentVex i'm now at 99.1%...I've gone back and re-edged a whole load of areas (in fact i think i've been over most of the continent twice now >.<) but not getting any more. So..i think i must have missed a whole chunk somewhere. Anyone take a look and see if they can see what i can't? Thanks

I found a variation on the ALT-TAB method that made me spot the differences easier than using GW.

* Loaded full map into Photoshop
* Drawn up U Map to a full page in GW, ALT-PRINT'ed it and used New, from clipboard in Photoshop
* Cut the canvas down to remove the border
* CTRL-A'd and pasted it into the full map
* positioned it appropriately on the same spot as the original map
* Turned on and off the Layers between background and layer 1

This is basically the same as the ALT-TAB, but while i haven't found anything anymore on this method, i saw four spots on "my" method.

Thoughts?

Faeye · Nov 12, 2006, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Been reading the whole thread (good stuff!) and going over the obvious spots, now i still need 1%!
Wonder if anyone can give me a hand finding the last pieces of the puzzle. It would be much appreciated!

Hello there, I'm stuck at 99.8% and I spent the whole day trying to get some spots, but I just can't see any difference...
Guess I'll need your help on this one

Here are my U-map (1280*1024 with Small UI)

I don't think that I missed any spot on Istan, neither in the Desolation, but as I didn't find anything anywhere, youd better check out every map. Sorry for the inconvenience of those tips...

EDIT: Here is the link for the Zoom Out Map (1280*1024)

I have finished the game and got .1% from Chantry. Im taking a break from alt-tabbing to ease my addled brain. You guys saved my sanity in Tyria and I would greatly appreciate a save the day again.
Thanks to everyone who posted their maps. I made it to about 94ish before I needed to start map comparing.

edit: btw as asked in an earlier post how do you get the obelisk to fall across the sand in the Sulfurous Wastes. It is right by Sahlaja and I know I dont have that spot. There are quite a few Margonites and someone offering a quest. I've managed to kill some Margonites with the wurms and wiped out everything else in the area. Is there a quest or some other pre-requisite that I either skipped, forgot, or just missed?

I got another .3 alt-tabbing some more but now am at a wall.

I still see only the section just outside Sahlaja or whatever. I see the obelisk on the map even looks like its tipped over but its standing and I dont know how to knock it over.
Any other little spots would help. As I understand it even non-Elonians actually have about a .5% fudge factor so Im sure there are a couple spots I cant find.
Thanks in advance again.

*EDIT*
Got it. Got my KoBD with it also kinda nice. Thanks for the 100% maps to look at, much easier than either Tyria or Cantha though harder to see some differences.
Still HAVE NOT gotten across that monolith near Sahlaja.......

Got mine too - 3rd Map Title now, and on balance - this map is much kinder than those pf Cantha and Tyria. The last 0.3% came from outside Chantry near the fortress and a missed bit on the floodplain! I was on 99.9% and got very excited when I read here about the low level arena - alas it made no obvious difference (albeit I could only get in starting area). Towns seem to reap plenty of % - and there is a little corner in Chantry Of Secrets near waterfall where you really have to "wiggle". This forum really kept up my belief and that is sooooooooo important - cos chasing those last few % is a lonely anti-social pursuit - so thanks to everyone who has contributed! Ok- off to conquer Masters now!! See you in the XXXXX Explorers League!

klorbonde · Nov 13, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

SO does anyone have a high resoultion of the 100% elonian explored map?
I was thinking of a resolution around 6000 * 4500 or something like that..

I havent seen one like that yet, and there was a lot of them for cantha exploring map..

Plz post a link if it's already made, otherwise plz post a link when it is made..

Edit: found this 1 in the tread: http://guildwarsguru.com/forum/attac...4&d=1162646510

Actually whoever said you can't is wrong. You CAN get into that area, I think it was Pogahn Passage mission maybe?

The missions where you need a specific hero, if you don't have that Hero you can still enter the mission - just team up with someone who does have that Hero. At a couple of points in the story it branches depending on a choice you made earlier (Master of Whispers or that corsair ranger woman) but so long as you team with someone who has one of them you can get into the missions.

You can also go back and do them after finishing the main story apparently (access to all Heroes)

duncan99 · Nov 13, 2006, 01:22 PM // 13:22

so what are the often missed spots? (im at 98% and very desperate ;_; )

thx

I just fought my way in from the Jahai Bluffs. Tough fight mind you, left heroes/hench to fight the last bit while I walked the edges.
No quest, etc to get there.

And the door to get inside was open when you got there? I fought all the way to the gates twice (once when I was questing around jahai, and again when I finished the game) and the gate was closed both times.

Arx Baron · Nov 13, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

I finally got my Title xD
I found half a dozen spots, even if it was really hard to see them at first glance.

Just tried this again........ couldn't even walk up the stairs. I did this the first couple of days of NF release, may have been a graphic glitch, etc.
Having looked at my map in that area and comparing to those with 100% they look the same.....so I guess that is as good as it will get, only Anet knows why this is closed off.
