Kinda sad that everybody is using Textmod now.
Kinda funny that they still have problems fully revealing the map with it. :/

Help...
I watched the final cutscene 3 times and scraped the area. Still doesn't want to unfog.

Try 'fake moving' by spamming WASD during the cutscene. Also try pressing WASD and clicking Skip or pressing ESC during the cutscene. There's like a .5-1 second window in which you can control your character after you skip.

The 1600X1200 map direct me to a casino site 
link of post number 2 on this thread.
currently 99.3% elona,
need to make sure this part of Turai's Procession map is NOT accessible (white outlined area)
need to know how much these challenge mission will give me .1%? (seriously bad at this mission, if its not necessary to uncover it 100%, i rather scrap other parts of the map)
Thanks everyone very much for any information at all.
PS: don't ask me to use texmod, thanks.
thinking out loud: Maybe i should try the watch Gandara''s cut scene thingy, since i have not watch that before.
THANK YOU SNOGGY AND BRETTM

First bit: Nope.
Second bit - well, mapping the entire mission gives ~1.8%, so I think it likely there's a whole .1% there. I hate that mission too, but I finally popped the last corner for 100%.
Congrats on cartographising the old-school way - not something I'd ever want to do again

If you do a good enough job elsewhere, you don't need to totally clear the challenge mission. I think I had less of it uncovered than you do when I hit 100%.

Remembering back, I think I had more problems with Nightfall cartography than any other chapter. I think it was that that finally spurred me into cheating with Texmod.
There, I've said it.

Ok I'm at 99.6% and my foreheads starting to hurt from scraping it on the rocks and smacking it on the desk. SOOO I was checking this thread for some ideas and everybody seems big on tex mod. I have no problems with it as a tool for finding those little bits I have left but have read alot of posts telling people they probably got hacked from a key logger in a tex mod or other program like it. So my question ( I understand you cant say 100% for sure) is this likely to be a problem or should I be 99.6% safe? Thanks for your input
the_jos
Texmod has worked for many people and as far as I know none got hacked. Just be carefull where you download it from.
It's my experience that the same spots get missed over and over again and all those spots are well documented in this thread.
You can compare the pictures without the risk of installing a trojan

Hey guys,
It's great to see that my guides are still being used some 4 years since I originally posted them, and that the cartography legacy is still running strong. I figured they'd have been trampled into the dust long ago. So this is a most pleasant surprise. ^_^
It's been about 3 years since I last played, and I'm now back to finish off some of the stuff I hadn't done yet, as well as looking forward to things that have been released since I last played, I hadn't even entered the Eye of the North area, though I had bought it.
So if you see me in game, don't be shy, send me a hello! ^_^

Can someone help me with this bits.

1. The arrow above Consulate Docks points to the area of the arena. Talk to the arena guard near the consulate to get transported there.
2. The "circle" mentioned has already been cleared. The two arrows point to an area that can only be cleared by a native Nightfall character doing the tutorial right after the character is created. Non-Nightfall characters can't get there, and Nightfall characters can't ever go back after the tutorial is done or if the tutorial is skipped.

just a note to everyone using the textmod called "Elona Cartography made Easy" , it might miss spots. Its a great mod to reach 99 or 98% but use the older mod for the last few .x%, found here. It shows the fog of areas missed more clearly in a highlight green color. |
BrettM
The newer Complete Collection tpf for Cartography Made Easy covers the entire game in one tpf file and adds a number of new areas on each continent. You shouldn't be using the individual tpfs for Tyria, Cantha, and Elona these days. You won't have any problem making 100% using the Complete Collection.

Hey there,
I'd really appreciate if someone could take a screenshot of the zoomed out map of 100% Elona (and upload it as bmp somewhere). The uploaded files are not reachable any longer
to any "Elonian grandmaster cartographer": just open the Map, zoom out and take a screenshot with "Shift"+"Print" (to hide the outposts).
preferably in 1920x1200
thanks in advance!

I can do 1920*1080
Er, and it's a .jpg too, sorry.

Alright... So could anyone point me in the direction for the route for the Dynastic Tombs fiasco - you get on the worm. How do you get out of the boxed in area though? I am missing how to "Get down" so I can get to each corner. Do I have to trigger something to get it to open so I can pass through? Or am I just missing this completely? I understand it adds to Carto - and I want it soooo bad. Any help would be appreciated ty!
Any help would be appreciated ty!

You have to earn points to open the gates out of the starting area. A gate opens every 15 points you earn, so 60 points unlocks the entire area.

Thank you - I kept just running around. I thought there was a way w/o doing the challenge. Silly me! Thank you!

your texmod seems broken/glitched, have you checked your title and seen if you have gotten the %? .
On the picture we see path's that has been walked on, if those are from you, you should have gotten quite some %

xXyunaXx
the dotted lines are indeed my path and i uncovered it all, except the few gray spots that you can see otherwise there would be more gray areas and so far i have 10% i think.. or about close to 10% so are you saying this gray patch is showing up as a graphical glitch and should actually be cleared? if it is a glitch what can i do to fix it^^? i use Umod btw i used texmod before but Umod saves all my mods without me having to load them every single time i start guildwars so its convenient for me
thanks for the reply and help
EDIT: i restarted the client and i checked the map and they are still there..(the gray unexplored patches)
i am certain theres a way to get to them either by scraping or a path but by looking at the map i just cannot see it.. every route seems blocked off by something.. =/ please help me i dont want to miss out on the %

I wouldn't worry about one small spot like that if you can't get to it. All the campaigns allow anywhere from .19% to 1.4% leeway if you just go around scraping the normal way.
cosyfiep
I have 100% and STILL have those greyed--do not worry about them.
Marty Silverblade
If you're referring to the bits between Cliffs of Dohjok and Zehlon Reach, I know that the bit on the right is obtainable in Cliffs. Just scrape upwards starting from Champion's Dawn. Take it slow since it's easy to miss. Really though, as other people have said, tiny bits like these aren't worth worrying about unless you've mapped the whole continent and are short of 100%.
PS: It would have been really great if you turned off the texture that adds mission guides to your map. It's massively confusing having a bunch of trails marked out.

Hey guys
I am having some problems, see I have been doing carto for elona and I have reached 99.3%. I am using carto made easy through texmod and there is one area near pogahn passage which i cant reach.
It says to watch the cutscene as party leader, and on wiki it suggests I move my character in the last cut scene but for some reason it still wont work. How can i get it?
Thanks in advance

I can't get in-game to check but I'm entirely sure I've never mapped that area. From memory my TexMod has a big black patch over that entire area. I'd forget about it as you should have meaningfully large areas available elsewhere.
PS: For the record, my TexMod doesn't have that sharp corner above Camp Hojanu either.
EDIT: Yeah, now that I've checked, I can say that massive area is unmappable. Don't know why it would be marked like that. Conflicting textures perhaps. The 'this circle is uncovered...' bit refers to a little chunk where your mission guide says 'Passage' twice.

Thanks! I'll start working on the challenge mission

My copy is working just fine. It looks like you may have a conflict with the mission map mod you are using. Carto mod by itself has the black section on it.
Panache
Not sure if anyone checks this thread much anymore, but if someone could help me with these few areas around Blacktide Den that would be great.
I swear I've rubbed up on everything like a cat in heat and can't uncover these few areas. Any tricks? Thanks!
