ok i've read that tutorial and i can make the difference too but i need that 100% explored 1280x1024 pic, can smb provide me with one? It doesn't matter who did it, it just has to be 100% without arenas.
edit: found link on the 14th page, took some searching to get
hopefully i'll be uploading my 100% pic by tomorrow evening ^^

Btw, thanks for the search, Sepphyrion!

Ok uhm i've checked Leighwyn's with mine and there are few differences 4 of them being >> ember light camp, henge, amnoon and d'alessio arenas which have been closed and are unexplorable atm. aside of those just 0.1-0.2% difference which will not give me 100%, so Leighwyn is still missing some parts on the map. I know i've checked mine with a 99.9% somebody posted here and i found more differences than this one as that one did not have arenas.
So if there's anyone that got 100% without any of the closed arenas please post a link here, would be helpful for everyone.

It's a hard one, maybe. But it might also help if you make a SHIFT-PrtScrn dump from that map to remove all the towns, these show now up on the diff-map.

i can help with makin a few differences if smb posts a 100% map without any of the closed arenas :P
Shigernafy
Thanks so much everyone. It turns out I wasnt missing anything in the frost gate, it was lions arch.
I suggest everyone make sure theyve gotten and fully expolored where I am in the screenshot, its a small bit, but if youre going for 100%, every bit helps.

oh yeah and could smb please tell me when to use the necrotic traversal thingy at the frost gate... where will there be corpses near rurik? i've done the mission again and i just see the 3 soldies dissapearing at some point but didn't see their corpses anywhere...

You actually have to try to kill them, you can lure some Siege Golems to them. What I ended up doing though, was killing a wolf that spawned down there and using Nt to it, you can do so by using a bow on it , or if your lucky, find a dead one in the blast areas.

Learn to ask nicely and I bet you'll get better results. You just 'put your map out there for someone to look at'. Don't assume people are going to do your work for you.
Having said that - go to the far southwest corner of Dunes of Despair bonus area, across the invisible bridge.

Finally got it. I used Shigernafy's map just posted above and found the remaning areas (0.3-0.4%). Thanks for posting it.
I didn't have to explore all of them so it is possible i have some areas Shigernafy doesn't have as he has some i don't have (explored the frost gate NT thingy today and very few maps have that), so i'm posting my 1280x1024 version if anyone will ever need it.
Notes:2 small unexplored fogs outside thunderhammer keep (i'm sick of that mission, i'll never do it again)small fog west of north wall mission base (never figured out how to explore that, i saw most ppl with 100% don't have it either)
character is less than 1 month old so obviously no closed arenas explored
Those should be the only 3 things i've skipped, thanks for the useful tutorial and 100% map links.
P.S.: hench ftw lol

ok, after i couldn't upload my maps i decided to find photoshop and do this on my own. A tip i have for all the people is to bring down the opacity on the difference so its not so dark. I have mine at 70% and its a lot easier to see the map and can still see the parts you need to explore.

You can also use Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to create those Diff-Images.

I'm confused at some of the recent posts asking for a new map comparison. Didn't Dougal show you everywhere to go in the first map? Why do you need a new one? :P
Also - Everyone who recently posted - go explore the bonus area of Dunes of Despair before you do anything else, and don't forget to cross the invisible bridge area in the far south-west corner. :P

I'm trying to get a map without towns appearing, and can't seem to do it. Someone said Shift+Print Screen I think, but that is not seeming to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction before I pop a blood vessel?

I gave this method a go. My difference map for Tyria showed one tiny area in the Shiverpeaks and the old arenas (of course). I am only at 92.6%. Do the arenas really count for that much?

What you are looking for is a function, in Photoshop, Paintshop or Gimp, that will show you the difference between two layers.
Start with a complete map, save it as a photoshop/paintshop/gimp image (so that it can handle layers). Add you map-screenshot as a new layer. Open the layer palette, select the new layer (your map-screenshot), find the dropdown box that will let you define how layers are combined (it's prolly on "normal") and select "difference" (or something similar) ... that should do it.

*update - i just found .2% doing the thirsty mission again - dunno how i missed them first time - the first bit i got was behind the first boss through the gate, the second i got walking round the edges of where the last boss is, if this is any use to those trying for title now at 99% - any and all help appreciated

Canthan characters can go anywhere in Tyria that a Tyrian can. (Except for pre-sear for you picky people, which doesn't count towards Explorer anyway, so NYA!)
OMEGA-ThundeR
Can you guys five me hope and say that if you really recovered it all you can get 101% covered... or is my dream of getting 100% on this char now shattered ? (sorry for wrong spelling.. i am dutch :P)
Mournblade
You don't need arenas to get 100%, but it helps.
OMEGA-ThundeR
"it helps" .. wel i guess i can take that as an yes :P....
got another .1 % today :P... just checking the map with the naked eye...
am waiting for an 100% map... cause in the tut they refer to that... but a link would be handy...
And any version of photoshop will do... well i hope that counts for 6 to :P...
don;t want to wast my time on a 350 mb download.
edit:
lol.. wel it works.. i found an 99.8% map... looks good.. got lots of places to see
anyway.. i cannont export or save it... thank got i have an 19" tft screen with an high res.. so an schreenshot of my map should be fine... but i am still looking for an good map :P
