I am a grandmaster cartographer for months now and i don't bother with it nowadays, but i just found an interesting map(sorry if someone asked this berfore).

How is it possible to fully explore the "Shiro banishment" area? Months ago the general viewpoint was that Shiro only banishes players to the northern area.

Where did you get that map from? I don't think it's actually a real player's map, as there are areas that are cleared that just don't get cleared, such as the NW area.

BTW, at only 96.1% you are missing an insane amount of area to need someone else to show you what you need. Even by doing basic wall hugging through all the areas of the game, you should come out with close to 98% and where as 2% may not seem like much, it's truly a massive amount of unexplored area.

I compared to Livingstons maps and generally only looked for his numbered spots. Perhaps others will notice more since I am sure they will be more awake than I was. It's a good start anyhow. I would like to make it clear that I did not do this because of your payment offer. If I hear anything about payment in game you'll make me mad. Have a good day and good luck.

Cool picture.
An elementalist/Ranger with a sword eh? Not sure how that works, but ok.

Currently I am doing a long string of night shifts, so I'm finding it difficult to get time to check maps, but I will try to do some as time permits.

Hope that is good. Thanks again Livingston.

You're Shing Jea maps are near perfect quality and size now, very easy to use. However, you're Kaineng ones are a bit too big now. Don't know what you did differently, but I can still use them since they aren't too small.
Now on to what you are missing:
Shing Jea:
24 (See this map )
25 You are missing the NE corner at that tiny jut of land.
The area between 24 and 25
You are missing a tiny section on the coast between 23 and 24
Kaineng:
You've cut off too much of the North area for me to check properly.
10
14
15
16
You are still missing the two areas East of 3, which are very easy to get.
17
That's all I have time for at the moment. I'll check out some more after work.
Edit:
To broodijzer:
Just a quick glance at your map showed me that you were missing:
Shing Jea:
1
Spot south of 1
3
8
13
19
20
24
And a spot between 15 and 20 in the mountains.
That’s more than 6 spots so the updated rules will apply to you. If you don't know what I am talking about see this post Here, under the tips section and my own personal requirements. I have set this up specifically because I don't have much time lately and thus want to get to everyone I can.
Edit:
To Lafayette:
Shing Jea:
7
24 map
Couldn't check very thoroughly, but will do more later.
Oy, I'm going to be late for work, if I don't quit...

They should end up looking very similar to the maps that I have posted with all the circles on them. You can also use the maps that these other guys have posted as reference.

I went ahead and got the little "F" shaped dock that is #24. I tried to get what you said I missed between 23&24 again, no amout of running back and forth seemed to reveal it any further. I did get to see the edge of the map on radar a few times though.
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2290/dotstd7.jpg
I finally went and got banished! Woohoo! I also went and got that spot near #3 that you mentioned. I'll have to run around the area where #17 is again just to be sure.
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/2635/kainengzb2.jpg
I do in fact have 14 15 and 16, perhaps my maps are just poor quality.

I'm up to 99.2 now, yay!

Actually it did, you probably just can't see the difference, and the spot was so small that it didn't give you any percentage.

This one I'm 100% sure on.
Take a look at the show case windows:
Mine's on the right.
You should be able to see the difference there.
14 is actually to the right of the circle on my maps, I just haven't had the chance to update it.
Good luck!
