Top left bit: From the Boreas Seabed outpost.
Top middle: This area is easily accessed via a bridge in the BS explorable.
Bottom right: You should be able to get into this area as well from the GH explorable.

Nothing to new to add, but I wanted to say I used this thread to help me scrape the last few areas I needed for 100% with room to spare. Many thanks to all that contributed!

The massive area on Shing Jea alone should get you pretty close. The larger circle beneath the island is the arena, you can get there by talking to the arena guard in the monastery. Some of the area in the Vizunah Square mission may be very difficult to get, but it all isn't needed.

that's the arena. There will be an npc in shing jea who will take you there. Entering the arena itself is not mapped so don't worry about it.



the imperial sanctum bit is where you go when you get banished. To get banished, you'll need to team up with another player and hope shiro targets you (he won't target you if you're the only human). For the little bits, just scrape again.



just scrape the areas and missions properly. You haven't been through each of them fully.



there is nothing there worth scraping.



as above. Scrape them again/better. Don't bother with those bits until you've got the big ones on shing jea island. 12345678901243

Ok managed to do a large bit under sing jea.
Now at 99.1%

This are the parts i still need, Are they accessible and how?
Is it in the explorable area or in the mission?
Will this parts get me to 100% or not? I don't think so but this are the only parts that rest me.
Or is Texmod missing some things?

Thx everyone for you help, this title gives me several gray hares...

Spots i don't find :

1: Can be reached by entering the Zen Daijun explorable from Seitung Harbor. At the bridge where there is a bell shrine, turn right and head down towards the beach.

2: Can be reached, but it is a difficult and tricky scrape. Just keep trying. IIRC, you get it from the green area where all the kappa and bonesnap turtles hang out.

3-4: Enter Nahpui Quarter explorable from Senjii's Corner and scrape.

5: The part on the right is done from the Unwaking Waters mission. I believe the part on the left is reached from inside the Kurzick UW outpost.

6: Scraping in Mourning Veil Falls should get this easily.

7: Not sure. I think it may not be possible to get all of that spot. Try scraping near the statues of the gods in Zin Ku outpost.

8-9: Enter Sunjiang District explorable from Zin Ku Corridor or Pongmei Valley. Both of those areas are easy to reach.

You can get ALOT of extra stuff by using the portal jumping method. For example: if you portal jump at Kaneing Docks, you can actually get into Wajjun Bazaar without any foes, and even map part of the undercity (by stepping throug the portal) without teleporting. I managed to get fair amount of extra percentages using portal jumping.

No it isn't. The Local Quarter isn't close to that area. A lot of people have trouble getting that spot and I hear that you get it by viewing a certain screenplay; one to do with Visunah Square. Don't know if this is true though.

You will need to get into Vizunah local and speak to the NPC there. Ask him to show you the mission cinematic. Watching that will clear some of the area you're looking for.

What are these map mods that have the outlines of everything. Iv'e read through and tried the infraview and gimp. Gimp now as Gimp 2, does not have a Mode in the Layers menu, using Cntrl + L does not bring up a layers list. Theres the purple outlines thats on everyones images and theres the brown ones too. What are these?

not to mention a few of the links in the first posts are broken.

Im at 99.3 at can not seem to find whats left. I wish i could visit the shing jea area

The board walk area is what i was wanting. i have the arena.
I have tried texmod and follwed the directions like it says. I does not work. All my resolution and such has been set.

*The program being used is TexMod with the Cartography Made Easy mod. Look it up on the Official Wiki.
*You can visit Shing Jea Arena on any character you like. You won't be able to participate unless you meet the requirements, but you can get most of the area mapped. Just talk to the Arena Guard in Shing Jea Monastery.

yes, you dont need that spot--you MUST have other areas that you have missed---I have leg carto on multiple characters and MANY have that spot fogged. Look around at the rest of your map, there has to be other spots you have missed.

Go to the Vizunah Square Foreign Quarter, speak to the NPC there, and view the mission cinematic.

Any tips on how to get to this area in Silent Surf?

http://www.paperstreetprod.com/guild...anthacart1.jpg (circled in red)

Livingston's guide says: "10. There is supposed to be a tiny island north of the Leviathan at this spot. To clear it, head west out of Leviathan Pits, kill the boss mob and the oni spawn on the big island, and squeeze into the southern corner of the big island as tightly as you can. Move around and change the direction you're facing to make sure you clear the spot."

I have explored and explored and can't find where I am suppose to squeeze through. This is driving me nuts!

Ok, the island where you have drawed the northern part of your red circle...that's exactly the island you need. It's not in Silent surf as you say, though, but in Gyala. To manage to clear that spot you have to almost climb a wall on the southern edge (to get on the island you must walk from north though), but you got to do it well or it won't work. I had to try many times before getting it myself.
Hope it helps, even if my explainatiion is a bit confused. Good luck on title.

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong area to post this, I wasn't sure where it needed to go.

Anyway. I cannot find this piece of my map. Anyone know where I can uncover it? Thanks in advance!

Are you guys using programs to show where you need to explore? Coz if those are screen shots, my map is just blurred, not outlined.

Just curious to see whether I'm ok, or whether I'm going nuts. Thanks =]
