Thanks a bunch again Tommarrow. Maybe in the future if you want to do the map-checking service again a system could be setup for only a certain quota per time period and charge for your services. I know I wouldn't mind paying a 5-10k fee for how much this has helped me.

That's exactly what I did. Like tommarrow I did maps for people for free until it completely consumed my Guild Wars life (and most of my normal life as well). So after taking a break, which wasn't really much of a break as people were still asking me to check maps in game, I decided that instead of becoming a hermit and just refusing everyone who asked (and having these guides means everyone asks), that I'd set up a service to do so. This way I can at least have some gold to accompany my eyestrain and headaches, which I never have time to make in game like a normal person.

It's a bit more than 5-10K, but I guarantee that if you checked 100 maps in the course of a couple weeks, or spent weeks trying to find the last .7% on your map, you would agree that the service actually seems to be a bit cheap.

I may not have as much experience with checking Elona as tommarrow has, but I think the number of maps I have checked in general far out weighs that.

In the past month alone I have checked 108 maps. That is since I have been charging for the service, before that when I was doing them on a volunteer basis, I was easily checking 4-5 times that number, and have been doing so for around 8 months. A rough estimate of that would equal 3-4000 maps. And the main maps I check are Canthan, which are the hardest to check of any of the continents.

So if you guys want your maps checked I'm your man.

It's not the right post, but I take the time to thank all the people involved in these incredible guides to achieving Grand Master Cartographer.

Livingston, I dreamt many times of sending you my Canthan map and asking you where I shall improve, but I took my courage with both hands and applied all of the valuable methods.
The GIMP superposition worked in the end, although it was grueling task! but I did it OMG I did it.

I feel stronger now to attack Elonia which appears a lot easier imo

Thank you all, starting with Livingston.

I downloaded trial version of Photoshop and try to scan my map. Now I have 97,2% explored, but I can see some more differences between 100% map and my map.
First I want to explore all without Tombs, which is 2% of Elona. Wish me good luck.

Sirjackass your map came out as a non standard size if you retake it I will check your map.

Good luck to everyone with your title.
For those I have checked a map for if you do not reach 100% then repost here and I will check it again.
In the future I may continue checking maps as a fee based service. For now Livingston will check your maps for a fee if you need it. See the link above.

Make sure you post your pic with your shiny new title once you get it.

Thx again for checking.

Ormiel · Feb 24, 2007, 02:00 PM // 14:00

Echh. Tommarrow thx for scan, but now I have only 99.6%. Your scan gave me 0.1%

. I visited all "circle" on map.
I give you next link with my map http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ormiel2gf9.jpg
I think it's last scan my map. Plz, find me 0.4%.

Thx for your help.

RTSFirebat · Feb 24, 2007, 04:19 PM // 16:19

Tommarrow already said he's not doing anymore. Maybe you should double check the areas. He can't really just make you another map, it will just have the same areas.

Aston Drakmer · Feb 24, 2007, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Just a thank you to everyone who put together the guide/maps.. helped me tremendously!

Thanks Tommarrow. I'd have said thanks earlier, but my way of being patient was to not check back for several days. Thanks again for your efforts. I am sure I will be able to put them to use.

Oh hm, never saw that before. I may use that as my Warrior should be approaching the frustration mark of not being able to uncover anything else soon.

SirJackassIII · Feb 25, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

W00T!!

Finally got it. Honestly, I thought this one was harder to get then Tyrian or Canthan. Dunno why. Most people say Elonian is the easiest...
Thx a load to Tommarrow, couldn't have gotten it without you.
