I'm at 99.2% now...
When I use the photoshop trick, I only see spots I've visited atleast 50 times, which I've went over 50 times aswell. Does anyone know some other 100% maps, or could you GMC post yours? I'd be very grateful.

If you post a map made up of 'stitched together' U-maps, I can look at it for you. I can't help you from the map you posted previously. It's too small for me to find differences. But maybe the experienced map analyzers here can.

Got it after a lot of Photoshop work


If I have to suggest one thing to the people that are looking for small percentages is to check around zones. It seems there is a lot of extra map in between alot of the zones where you can't reach unless you walk up right next to the portal.

Being stuck all the time? Snooping around mysterious photoshop techniques? Alt-tabbing there and back in order to find few pixels of undiscovered map?

Hmm, Dougal, looks as though you have the starter island (before Chabek Village) explored when I do a difference map. Is that right? If so...how? (I'm stuck at 99.3)

Well.. Might aswell sport it, eh?


Funny thing is.. I hadn't even finished exploring "Gandara, the Moon Fortress" when it reached 100%, and I haven't explored any arenas or so. Probably because I'm using an Elonian Character..

Talon, I went through the gates when NF first came out, back then foreign characters could go through them as they were open.

Jebus, I'll take another tonight and get it as soon as I zoom the map out so the cloud cover should be the same.

Hello guys. I have already mastered tyria and cantha and have heard that elona is easier compared to them. Actually I found elona much, much harder because I am at 98% and can't find anything to uncover. (I know 2% is pretty much to uncover)

So if somebody would like to check my zoomed-out 1028x1024 map? Thanks in advance!

If someone could please be so kind as to cast an eye over this M-Map for me?

http://public.paulrjones.justemail.net/m-map.bmp

(About 3.5Mb)

I'm at 97.0% and am well aware that I haven't yet been into the Remains challenge mission. If that's 2.1-2.2% as people seem to say, that puts me at about 99.2% overall.

I've checked the commonly missed map, and done a difference comparison, both of which have been very helpful :-) Thanks for the help so far!

(And yes, I was really stupid and didn't fully explore the tutorial area even though I had the opportunity to. Never thought I'd bother trying to get 100% though!)

I'm stuck on dialup over Christmas, was able to get this one out because I knew I'd be in front of the compy all day. Should be back on cable and able to check some maps in early January.

Hi Irma...

Your u-map is the perfect size and your resolution is very good. I think I've found more than .6% fog on it. I'd love to know if this analysis helps you get your title.

Happy exploring. Happy Wintersday! And Happy New Year!

I'd like to make my own U-map too, was here somewhere the guide how to stitch those screenshots together? It would be very nice if somebody could spare little time to check my missing spots.

Thanks.

My actual problem is that when I take screenshot from u-map and then paste it to ms paint it comes as very huge, covering the whole image. How can I make that smaller so I can fit my whole map to one image?
