I am currently working on documenting how much each area is worth to map as I go, but since I haven't had much time to play, it's going rather slowly.

And congrats to those who have gotten the title.

Agrim: you forgot to explore the area around the statue of Kormir in Chantry of Secrets. There is still a spot missiong in the newb island (north-east corner of the Cliffs of Dohjok).

Jahjah, if you still have 0.5% to explore there is probably more than what I found (I did that quickly) but here are a few places you missed: http://athelias.biz/guildwars/jahjah.JPG

A few tips to all those who have only 0.x% left and can't find any more spots to explore: I was quite lucky with Elona and it didn't happen to me this time, but I remember how it was for Cantha and Tyria: you compare your map to 100% maps and it's as if your own map was more complete than the 100% map. At this point zoomed out maps are probably useless (if you can't find any difference), so you have to use your insight. Make a list of the areas where you could have missed something, and compare your U-map to a 100% U-map (in Elona, places like the Dynastic Tombs, the Poisonous Outcrops, this stupid mission in the newb Island you rushed, etc.), try to cross the "tunnel" portals in both ways (when there are 2 portals and some kind of uncleared tunnel between 2 areas), hug again the walls of the towns and outposts, etc. At this point, it's also a matter of luck.

When I do (hopefully tonight) the url will stay the same, so you won't have to do anything.

Thanks but my character has been bugged ever since reaching castellian, and I cannot enter the 'first city' area at all, mission wont be given and I can't even enter it with other party members! GRRR ANET FIX! (and yes i've submitted a bug report two days after release and have been stuck on 98.6% since!)

@Hatamoto
Here's your map marked (I may have missed a few but let see what you have after you get the marked areas):

Although I think its only 1 blip. As for the part near Kamadan I have no clue how it was uncovered on the "u-map" on the first page. Again I've tried all outside maps and town maps.
You can get spot 1 by talking to the arena guard in Kamadan. As for spot 2, I don't think you can map that spot... at least I wasn't able to.

@Hatamoto please post your updated map so someone can give it another closer look. If not, just use the complete UMap from the first post of this thread to dif the missing spots. It shouldn't be too hard as the 100% map in this thread is updated frequently and is more than 100% complete.

Best of luck

Leighwyn: I got them all but the top left one. I scraped that wall at least 10 times in both directions and can't get it. If someone gets that...tell me where you stood. I'll update when I'm done pvping tonight.

Could someone check my attached zoomed out map? I'm at 99.1% and I'm trying to figure what little edges I keep missing! :O

FYI, even though it looks like you unfogged some things on the map, I've found that you can get 0.1% for some places if you get close enough to them. For example, the northwest wall of Kamadan gave me 0.1% but it didn't unfog anything.

I'm at 99.5%, still missing a size able portion in the Mission where you kill the Drought, but I'm thinking it won't provide me enough to get 100%.

The gates open at random... so... most of the time I am able to open them all but it's not required to map the area. The trick is to get close to a Greater Infection and lower its HP enough so that you can kill it when the spirit comes running. While you wait, you can Wurm Seige the Infects close by. This method should get at least 2 gates open by the time you cleared all the Greater Infections at the starting area. If the gates aren't the ones that you need, just resign and repeat if you are unable to open the remaining gates.

Does anyone know how to map the Fortress of Jahai? I've tried it from the 2 explorable areas, but no luck because it's gated off. Is there a quest or whatever else that will allow you to map that are? thanks in advance
