plz help me find the 1.6% i cant find Some of the towns can block major parts that you may be missing. Go back and take the picture of your map but this time press Shift+Print Screen to take the picture.

Hi, I'm currently at 99.6% and I'm kinda stuck now. I will be going through each area again but if someone would be able to find certain areas that I might need, that would make it much easier for me:

Couple of tips for everyone that is super close, and this is what helped me get the title:

In places where zones connect directly, be sure to use those portals. All of them. Also, scrape both sides, exit left, re-enter left, exit right, re-enter right. I saw my percentage go up, but no map ever revealed.

Alkali Pan - Enter from the Bone palace and scrape the southern edge. When you get to the portal for Crystal Overlook, head north. You will reveal most of this area by moving south from Ruins of Morah and scraping the wall there, but you cannot reveal the far western edge unless you head north toward The Ruptured Heart.

Citadel of Dzagon - Enter the mission, but do not talk to the NPC to be teleported down into the battle area. Move to the north, and scrape the northeast corner of the citadel. You can walk past the guards and explore the rest of the fort as well if you wish.

These three things helped me go from 99.2 to 100%. Hope they help someone else.

Well, made my grandmaster title today:

Thank you for all the great tips in this thread, I compared maps and I had overlooked some embarrassingly easy spots.

Well, that's Cantha and Elona down, next up is Tyria.

Hi Indian...

Since you posted U-maps, I am trying to help you. I've encountered a little glitch, however, and I need your help. Your U-maps are a higher resolution than Silent Vex's stitched U-maps which I use for comparison. And, although it was easy to calculate what percentage to reduce your maps by, the reduction is taking out some resolution and leaving some areas fuzzier than they were at the higher rez... and fuzzier than they are on SilentVex's map.

At this point, I don't really know if I'm looking at fog or fuzz. I've tried my hand at the first map, found what I think is fog and would appreciate your checking to see if it is indeed. If it's not, then it's senseless for me to continue w/ the rest of your maps at their current rez.

Silent Vex's map is at 1280 x 1024.

As soon as I get your feedback. I will proceed accordingly. Thanks!

I'd like to remind everyone that double posting, general begging/demanding type posts and also posting massive images are all against the forum rules.

Please keep this in mind when posting, because we don't allow rule bending and threads breaking the rules will be deleted.

I got my 100% just before Christmas and realized I never posted a thank you here! I don't have Photoshop, etc, but was able to use the maps on page 1 to compare with my U map, one area at a time.

After getting the Tyrian title with another character, I thought I would be smart and hug the walls when I started my Paragon. Still had to go back over most of the edges- my heroes must all have 100% as well, they followed so closely! Especially hard to see where to stand when Zhed is clip-clopping along on top of you. Yes, I finally realized I could flag them away from me.

Anyway, this is a great guide and this thread is a huge help to anyone looking for the mapping title- thanks again.

Anyone know how to get this area? I feel like it'll be my .1%. I've seen it unlocked on one of the three compare maps, but I can't seem to get it!

EDIT: Nevermind. It was a teensy bit I need near the North exit of Remains of Salahja. Thanks for deh helps!
