Well here are some of the ones you missed:

Shing Jea

3 (Also just east of this circle in the little crack. On my map it's not fully clear, as I haven't updated it)
4
8
9
13
19
20
24 (you can fully clear the docks, once more not updated on my map)
25

Kaineng

10 (west of 10 as well)
12 (west section of circle)
14
16
20


You are also missing a large bit in Nahpui Quarter that most people get.

I'm going to stop there, as I don't have any more time to look, but you are missing heaps of spots already pointed out in my maps. Hopefully if you look at the spots I've pointed to, you will see the difference between your areas and the fully cleared areas, and will be able to see a lot of the spots you have missed on the other maps.

Good luck,
Livingston

Silly, maybe, but...

Must I know from the start I want 100% coverage, and explore newbie arena (before entering the monastery), and same with the dojo?

I did not explore those areas fully, and now I want cartographer title. Have I lost already?

Greets Thomas
With only 98% and having monastery overlook, you are missing an insane amount.

The following are what you are missing on the first couple maps:

Shing Jea

8
9
13
19
20
24 (you can fully uncover the docks, my map hasn't been updated yet)
25
Spot North West of 25 - the NW corner of the mostly permanent green fog.

Kaineng

7
8
9
Just West of 10
12 (west side)
13
14
15
16

I went on to Qinkai, but you were missing nearly the entire Northern Border above Boreas Seabed. I think you can do a better job than that...

Maybe if you take a look at the ones I have pointed out, you will see the differences and be able to notice them on the other maps.

Let me know if you can or can't and I will help further from there.

First off I would like to thank you for actually having most of the spots on my map uncovered before you came to me; I really appreciate it.

Most of the spots I've pointed to are either outside the areas I've marked, or they aren't updated on my maps at the moment.

Shing Jea

13 (So many people miss this spot)
19 (You have to look just east of my circle)
24 (The docks can be fully uncovered, I haven't updated my map)
25 (North East corner - there’s a little peninsula there that can be uncovered a bit more)

Kaineng

Possibly (7, 8, 9, you can clear them more than what is on my maps, once again mine haven't been updated.)

You are missing Vizunah Square (Local Corner) it's located under my big white 15.

12 (West Side)
14
16
20

Mount Qinkai

1
5
11
15
16
17 (Looks like you haven't been in Jade Quarry)
18

Unwaking Waters

1 (I don't think you are missing this, but you should avoid comparing screenshots when the Luxon or Kurzick line is pushed way back. Its best if it’s on either side of the unwaking waters mission)
7 (Just North West of)
11
SW of 19 is a little river outlet into the sea. I'm not sure if I have more of it uncovered than you or vice versa, mine is the same as Leighwyn's, but you might have uncovered it more than both of us. I'd be interested in the result if you try to explore it again.

Luxon

16

That's a possible 24 spots that I have marked, so hopefully that will get you your title. If not, then repost your maps and we'll comb through a bit more, hopefully with less Luxon/Kurzick line interference, as I believe I could have missed around 5 possible spots because of it...

Good luck guys

Ramirez, I have to make dinner now, so I'll have to look at yours later. Though I believe it would do you good to look at what shiva was missing, as you probably are missing some of the same areas.

Lilith No. You still have heaps of lead way to get the title. Hope to see you posting later with screen shots of your title. And don't forget to visit my thread; it'll help heaps.

Im at 98.5%. I know that is a lot to ask you guys to help me find, but I am just not sure where to look anymore. I think I need some fresh eyeballs.

MAPS NOW EDITED OUT!

There we are, I hope that is enough data. There are a few things that I see I need.

Shiro won't banish me when I go with henchies, but I WILL get the rest of that banishment area!

What else am I missing?
Well, I have updated a couple maps. I am up to 98.7% now, still no response to my previous post. I'll keep plugging along. I took out the maps that I had posted of starter island. Comparison to Livingstons maps showed me no differences. They are still in my original post on page 56 though.

MAPS EDITED OUT!

Well, help would be great guys. Thank you so much.

Quick question re number 24 on Shing Jea Island:

Is it possible to access this village, or can you only view it from the top of the mountains surrounding it?

Unfortunately, there is no way to get down off the mountain to the level of the village on the shore. The only road that seems to lead to the village goes into the mountain underneath Zuuyun Point, and looks like an underground mine entry more than a tunnel at that point. In the game world it might make sense that the village would be reachable by boat, but the PCs have no access to it, and I don't see any updates happening to change that.

Interestingly, the first time I realized this, I thought the pier next to the village was taunting me. It's shaped as the letter "F," and we all know a certain RED ENGINE GO word that starts with it

Only viewable from the top unfortunately.

I swear that is the number one area that I would love to have access to out of the entire Canthan map. It has that little black gateway to the mountains as well, and it would be awesome to be able to access it and explore the mountains underneath. Even cooler if it were an abandoned Dwarven settlement like say Moria, where there were all these statues and grand halls and secret passages. Unfortunately I think that would be a little cooler than reality could contain...

Oh well.

Somehow I missed your missed your first post. But you need to redo your maps. The first two Shing Jea maps won't work at all and with how much you have left to go you can trust me when I say you will indeed be missing spots on SJ. The others are too small for comparison. The only one that I can use is this one:

http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?i...uestionqo6.jpg

See how it says, "This image has been scaled down to fit your computer screen. Click on it to show it in the original size?" All your others need that option, as that’s the only way it gets big enough for proper comparison. If you put your game into windows mode and open up your U map, when you switch back and forth between the game and the maps you have on image shack, they should be the exact same size. If they aren't it makes it a lot harder to compare. If it's a bit bigger I can still work with it, but if it's smaller, I won't bother due to the eyestrain. It will literally give me a headache to do so. So whatever you did to get the format in kainengquestionqo6.jpg on image shack, do the same with the others.

From that one map that I can use, you are missing more than just the Shiro banishment area, which post three of my thread tells you exactly how to get banished in the easiest way.

Here's what I found:

Kaineng

The spot directly east of #3 and that little, round, green, peninsula just NE of it.
14
15
16

Not sure if you have fully uncovered 7, 8, and 9 as your maps a bit pixilated...

Grrr...should have checked the quality of my upload to imageshack before posting here. It appears that i'll have to edit some things after I sleep. The only one I edited at all before uploading was the one you mentioned. I'll do that then just cut out all the previous pictures so they stop taking up space. Sorry about that, thanks for looking for me. It is really nice of you to do this for people.

Maps redone! I hope that does it. Sorry about that. I didn't change the format of the images before uploading the to imageshack. They were still in the original bitmap they save as.

I'd like to say thanks in advance for the work you're putting in. I'm currently at 98.7 %. Please note I uncovered the Monastery sealed off area on the NPE using the Recall trick which got me 0.1%. I also uncovered the SE section of Raisu Palace using Necotic Traversal as posted on another thread which got me another 0.1%. I've gone through the "most often missed spots" but can't really tell if I've done some of them because of the colours.
