I found more in Shing Jea, Nexus:

On the west of Tumei Village, you can clear a part of the mountain (the blueish part, on the right side - the greensih part cant be cleared).

In Seitung, make sure you cover the whole port, you've forgotten 1 bridge, from where you can clear of small part of the sea and of the monastry overlook.

Also, south of Raisu Garden, there is a very small cloud hard to noticed: it's just at the beginning of the mountain, you should hug the wall either in Sunqua or in minister's Estate to clear it.

Make sure you have visited the arena if you havent as well.

On a side-note I'm desesperate: I have compared all my maps to yours and despite the fact that I seem to have more stuff uncovered than you (well untill you clear that), I stuck at 98.5% :S

roblethal · Jun 19, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

Thanks Sir Mad, those helped me too. Now at 98.4%
Also everyone, if you didn't know, you can zoom the minimap with your scroll wheel, this makes it easier to tell which is cloudcover, and which is map area, the map areas are at a much finer pixel resolution when filly zoomed.

Thanks for those tips Sir Mad, that got me up to 99.4%.
Yer a star

For roblethal, the Photoshop Difference trick is nowhere near as effective in Cantha as in Tyria. Unexplored areas would stick out like sore thumbs when using this trick in Tyria. That's because the unexplored texture was a drastically different colour and texture to the explored area. The difference isn't so great in Cantha.

Sir Mad · Jun 19, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Np, I used your map to check what's missing on mine: 99.0% here now. If you find anything missing, let me now, for I'm pretty I need it too!

I'm going to work on roblethal's now and see if I can find any difference.

EDIT - If you can find a team for Jade Quary, I uncovered one more spot there: when you hug the western/North-western well, you can clear a small part of the mainland above.

roblethal: North West of Arborstone, there is a spot you can clear.

There's a whole place not explored north of Ferndale (midway between HzH and Aspenwood)

You can clear more in Morostav trail (go from the Archieves and hug the eastern wall towards Unwaking)

In Rhea's Crater, you can uncover the 3rd greenish thing on the right side (is it supposed to be a ship? a hill?) - I've just noticed this one: hug the eastern wall as far as needed: it's pretty hard to find where you can do that from (go from Seafarer's Rest).

Also in Rhea's Crater (go from Leviathan's Pit this time), there is a small part missing on the east of the ship (top of the map).

roblethal · Jun 19, 2006, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Nexus, Thanks for clearing that up about the difference blending. Glad to know it wasn't my eyes

I'll be using your maps as a comparison to mine and see if i notice anything. (for both you and me)

Sir Mad, are your maps posted somewhere, I don't think I saw them in the thread. And I'm almost certain I'm missing at least a .1 in Jade Quarry, only managed to get in once on the Kurz side and was under alot of heat, so I didn't adeqately explore it, methinks

EDIT: ok, using a better comparison technique, I've noticed I'm missing about 6 spots on Shing Jea alone. Nex I noticed only 2, but I think those are the two that Mad already pointed out. (aside from the Monestary Overlook). I'll post back after I've compared all your maps w/ mine in PS.

Sir Mad · Jun 19, 2006, 08:01 PM // 20:01

Here is my map of Shing Jea: http://athelias.biz/guildwars/map1.JPG
I believe it to be complete (for tyrian chars).

And the mainland: http://athelias.biz/guildwars/map2.JPG

Let me know if you find something missing: I have 99.0%.

roblethal · Jun 19, 2006, 08:37 PM // 20:37

OK I've photoshoped all of Nexus' maps w/ mine and noticed alot I'm missing there. I'll start splicing your in too Sir Mad to see the differences,

Nexus, heres what I noticed you need when comparing my map w/ yours (they may have already been mentioned):
-Dragons throat mission- just start the mission and run around in there
-Altrum ruins mission- SW most corner (large spot)
-Largest island in the south of unwaking waters, you can clear that.
-East of Maatu Keep (enter Sunjiang from Maatu and head west)
-southern tip of Maishang hills (driectly east of zone to Archapelos)
-Imperial Sanctum, you can clear the banishment area a little more (i've only been banished to the one place compare with my map to see what i mean)
-Shenzen Tunnels, near the zone to Skyway, you can clear the northside of that more

Mad,
-South of edge of Napui Quarter, where the map bends
-Shiro banishment area
-SW corner of Eternal Grove explorable (large spot)
-possibly the SW corner of Amatz Basin (our maps look slightly different)
-Largest island in the south of Unwaking Waters, you can clear that.
-southern tip of Maishang hills (driectly east of zone to Archapelos) (looks like you can clear a bit more)
-also east most wave of Unwaking waters
-Jade Quarry(Luxon) you clear more of the large mountain on the east side (north most island)
-Directly NOrth of Bai Passu beach (might need to be in the outpost, or that small area just outside it to get this)
-eastern side of the map, just outside hatchery (on land, just north of the beach)
-also when compared to my map, it looks like you may be able to clear a little more on the east most side of Shing Jea (South of Zen Daijin, wall hug your way to the pier)

GL guys, both your maps gave me a huge list to work on

I'll post the outcome once I've cleared all our mismatches (currently at 98.5%)

Also, from where did you clear that snowy-green area north of Zen Daijun, I've had no luck with it.

Sir Mad · Jun 19, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

I'm pretty sure it was while hugging the wall in Panjiang - I remember I had hard time finding the right place...

And thanks for the great list: I may find my 1% remaining here

Nexus Icon · Jun 19, 2006, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Just a quicky before bed to say thanks roblethal, your Altrum tip got me up to 99.8%.
I tried Dragon's throat, but that doesn't count as far as I can tell.

Here's hoping for 100% tomorrow!
Once I have that, it's just a matter of capping the remaining elites (I'm up to 134), then I'm "Kind of a Big Deal"

The Dragon's Throat outpost counts, but not the mission.

The Skill Hunter title does not count towards KoaBD, unless I'm mistaken, although it's a worthy title to achieve.

Hidden in the Mist · Jun 20, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

Worthy yes, but wasting all that time to find out that it doesn't max out is.....well use your imagination.

Nexus Icon · Jun 20, 2006, 06:35 AM // 06:35

Bugger, I suppose that means I'll just have to work on the drunkard title then :E

Nexus Icon · Jun 20, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

Thanks guys, just hit 100%:
http://www.atpt95.dsl.pipex.com/Guil...ublewhammy.jpg

I'll piece together and upload my complete map later on

Edit:
As promised, here it is:

Sir Mad · Jun 20, 2006, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Grats Nexus, and thanks for the map!

roblethal, the Naphui Quarter part is strange: I'm pretty you're missing a part of it (south-eastern part, the black area). Our maps look a bid different for the south-western part, but I definitely don't know who is missing something (if one of us is): I going to try to figure that out.

EDIT - I've checked that: I had the south-eastern corner missing; but the whole south-eastern edge caught my attention when comparing our maps: maybe you wanna get there and see if you can't clear more - I'm not sure. Note: the quickest way is to enter the mission and use the teleporter on the right side - then you'll have only 1 boss to kill and a few mobs.

Btw, I cant find how to clear the spot north of Paasu Reach - any chance your alliance has controlled the place? It seems to be accessible from the private area...

roblethal · Jun 20, 2006, 05:31 PM // 17:31

No we don't control that outpost, nor have I been in any area that is closed except to alliance members. I don't remember how I got it, only that our maps are different. Perhaps you need to find a tricky spot in the outpost, or you may want to try hitting it from the north (though I don't think its close enough). Try heading around to that stage where you have to kill that Luxon Assassin boss, and wall hug around there, also looks like a small inlet on the west side of the hills, there may be a little squeze spot there).

weez · Jun 21, 2006, 12:18 PM // 12:18

Gents, I just got my 100% and it wouldn't have been possible without the help on this forum! I used also quite a lot one of those big resoulution maps (cant remember whose it was) and specific tips helped to uncover the very last bits.

I though this title would be easier, it was in fact a pain in the ***.

So thanks to everyone on this forum, especially those who contributed the most (we all know who they are

roblethal · Jun 21, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

I agree that I thought this title would be easy, especially with a Cantha character. Before the shut-down last night I got to 99.8%. If I can get into Jade Quarry, I think I will be done, since I have to clear a bit on both the east and west edges. However I have other differences that I can hit in the mean time, and a few areas that I can't seem to get either.

1. In Gayla Hatchery Both Mad and Nexus have cleared a small island south of the hilly area just east of Leviathan pits, I've hugged from the north and south and cant seem to get any part of this little rock island to show.

2. A there is a part of the mountain, south-west of Boreas Seabed that I can't clear. It's the area with all the Yeti, bot Mad and Nexus have a piece of the mountain between the 2 waterfalls cleared that I can't reach. :S

Anyway, there are others, and I'll be hitting them as soon as I can, I just wish JQ was easier to get into.

ngoducthang · Jun 21, 2006, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Hey guys i'm at 99.2% and have been trying to uncover the rest but i can't seem to find it, I am using the compare method but I think my eyes aren't that great so I can't seem to make out the other spots i'm missing. Please help me out. I've made 2 editions of the map, one is clear clear but it's 12.3mB while the other is ok, but it's a small 1.3mB, the links are below please if you have time help me out, thank you!

Finally achieved the goal of Grand Master for both Tyria and Cantha with my Tyrian character! -Joe

Sir Mad · Jun 21, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

ngoducthang:

I just have had a look at Shing Jea and I've noticed 2 spots missing: you can clear more of the eastern side in Zei Dajun, and in the Lagoon, hug again the edge of the small island: you can another small island from there, south of it. There may be more: I havent really checked it in details. Check my map of Shing Jea, I'm pretty it's the most you can get with a Tyrian Char.

I'm checking the mainland atm. So far:

- Hug the northern, eastern and southern walls of Vizunah: you can prolly clear a bit more (and there is defintely one part missing south of the map).

- In Thannakai Temple, hug the eastern wall, north of the map.

- In Naphui (common miss): you can clear more of the black part, SE of the map.

I'll edit this post when I'll have found more. I hope to find my 0.1% missing with your map
