I wanted to thank "tommarrow" for all your help with the map. It took me about 30 mins to get the 0.3% I needed and I only had to kill one group to do it. Anyway if you are in game some time I will try to catch up with you to give you some gold. Thanks again.

BTY Livingston you rock for all the effort to put these posts together.

Hey all, currently im on 98.3% cant find any more anywhere, did the 'tabbing' and 'dfference' methods, was sucessfull up to this point with the tabbing method worked great

, the difference method was weird for me..no light patches anywhere, probably was me doing it wrong, anyway enough of me 'gasbagging'.

heres my map 1280 x 1024

If anyone could please check my map for me i would really apreciate it, thanks in advance

I have reached 99.0%. I have tried the photoshop method, I couldn't find any parts that I missed. Maybe I have bad eye sight or I cannot use the program properly. Someone please help me >.<

Hey all, I finally reached 99.9% and have been stuck there for a few days now. at the moment I'm going through the towns in hope I can find the elusive .1% but I just wanted to ask this question.

Do you have to beat Nightfall in order to get 100%? One wouldn't think so, but where the Guildwar's Gods are concerned you never know. I've been searching through map after map comparing it to my own and I've only found one spot and that got me to 99.9%

Any help would be appreciative.

No you do not have to finish the game since the end part of the game is in the realm of torment which does not count towards the title. If you do finish the game though you will have access to a small area in chantry of secrets that will get you 0.1%.

well I saved maps in both 1280x1024 and 1024x768 but am having a pain trying to upload them to the net. imageshack wouldn't function if my life depended on it and photobucket's doing the same. apparently the nets acting up in places. Probably cause of the damn snow storms.

Will try to get them posted or if someone who checks them wants, i can email directly.

I tried the difference via photoshop and not really seeing any spots I missed.

Could someone chack my map? (Tyrian Born character)

Currently at 97.2% and I can't see a single spot left when comparing maps. Guessing most spots are in walls, so it'd be appreciated if I knew which walls need rehugging.

I'm still stuck with this title. Recently my counter moved a bit, from 99.6% to 99.7% but im still missing this last 0.3%.

This is latest shot of my map. Could you take a look at it?

Umm, why do people who post screenies of unzoomed map with cloud cover expect to get tips for unfogging? One can see nothing on those maps.

Good Evening all.

Hello all!

Well it's official! I hit Grandmaster of Elona last night after several days of scraping and hacking a gory and bloody path through anyone in my way.

And without further waiting, here is the pic of my warrior!

I was further surprised afterwards when I was promoted from a guild member to a guild officer! The Guildwars Gods finally smiled upon me!

Congrats to Jayden Angelus, Bugbuster and Elementalist Beany.

I would like announce that I will not be doing the maps as often as I was. Because of this I will not be doing your map unless you have reached 98.5%. If you feel that you can not find anymore of the map on your own and you have not reached 98.5% then I will compare your map for you but I will have to charge 10k of in game money for the service. You will have to post your map in this thread so I know the order in which to do them. Payment will be needed before I will compare your map.
If you are over 98.5% I will still compare your maps for free.
Sorry to do this but it is starting to take up too much of my time.

Hello helpful people

I am stuck a little short of this title, and having spent a weekend revisiting every EA (some now been to more than twice) and struggling to see any fog visually, I was about to give up when I was pointed at this thread. I read about using tools to compare maps, but I don't have any picture software (except paint of course).
So hopefully, by posting a my map of Elona I can get some clues to which areas I need to revisit again (rather than the dread of having to do them all again).

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
