Tyrian Master Cartographer still possible?

With the last update's nerf to the rebirth/consume corpse/shadow step abuse, I'm wondering if it's still possible to get 100% Tyria Cartographer without unaccesible areas (Rurik path in Shiverpeaks, "behind evenias" etc) and old arenas?
I don't have any idea how much percentage that is but... well just been wondering.

Yes it is - completely without arenas. I thought I needed "behind Evennia" but I didn't, and I was kinda annoyed that I couldn't tele up there...
-.- Rurik was still doable 2 days ago with corpse-tele...

...Wh...Wh...Why would they do that?

...It was so much fun. :'(

-places rose next to dead corpse that I can't reach-

Where's the 'behind Evennia' thing?

one is in the jungle and one in shiverpeaks, I think.

Anyways, I checked those trocks yesterday and here aret he conclusions:
-using rebirth / consume under a bridge to get on the top of it is not working anymore
-using consume corpse does work - sometimes. I checked Rurik path and I could tranverse to a corpse of his dead bodyguard w/o a problem, but in Dunes of Despair I would not land behind a closed gate, they had to be open.

Care to be a bit more specific with the 'behind Evennia' thing?

Here's a thread discussing "behind Evennia".

They said they fixed a bug that allowed players to get beyond closed gate.

I just tried the Rurik path and it still works.

well ive got 98.1% with out doing those tricks and i kno 2 places where i still need to explore but they will only get me tops an extra 0.2%

You can do Dunes if you have heroes. Just use some kind of bonder hero build (life bond, life barrier, mending, watchful spirit, blessed signet, etc) and flag him/her at the top of the stairs. Take the rest of the henchmen with you and go inside the gates when they open. The ghostly hero should survive long enough for you to explore the area.

Weren't these changes during the Skill Test weekend only?

I'm sure behind Evennia still works. Guildwiki page on Rebirth says nothing about a nerf to allowing you to get into places you shouldn't.

It would become quite and issue if they were to change this for Rebirth since they would then also have to change how Necrotic Traversal works. Which also removes quite a bit of mapping area from Prophecies

well it can be done. I got my 100% just a few days ago and I never been to any of the arenas, transporting, bebirthing, or any other special tricks. I tanked it all and just the basic areas that anyone can get to with heros and henchies. So dont give up. just get ready for lots of dead ends and out of the way runs.

Never used a trick of any sort, except running through areas like Dunes, and Great Northern Wall, and I've had GMC for nearly 7 months.

I've never been to any arenas as well.

I just hit 95% today.. and its very frustrating that even using map comparisons I cannot find where I need to go, besides closed off areas that are no longer reachable.

I fail to see the large amount of 'leeway' they have.

Yes it is possible, as it always was. I got 100% without any of the places you mentioned.

BTW, you could NEVER transverse through gates in Dunes. You could only tranverse down across the ravine. You used to also be able to then go back and do the mission if you went up to the front area and get a scarab and kill it and go back across, but I recently tried that and it wouldn't work.

This makes my week! Maybe my month! I have tryed so hard and have passed up many things to get it, now I know I it is possible with out areana's. Time to get to it. Thank you for letting me know this.

I've done Rurik's path just today. It involved killing a snow wolf way after the Ettin cave. It only yeilded me about 0.15% though.

Well I've been stuck at 99.5% for over 6 months, I've redone EVERY Map and Mission, scraping the wall. Which get's really annoying when all of a sudden you stop moving and start to revolve on the stop, meaning you have to sidestep or something to break the revolve motion. And I didn't find anything else (apart from about 35 deaths due to being a mediocre player).

I also have over 95% in Cantha and Elona as well, and am stuggling there too. If there really is a leeway, it must be pretty bloody infinitesimal in my opinion.

Tkonian, check each of the Chapter map sections and you will see stickies where community members offer to check your map and assist you by marking the spots you need to visit.

There is about 0.6 - 1% lee way in Prophecies still. Cantha and Elona both also have about the same but it is a tad harder to find
