cataphract, I can do an analysis of Canthan maps but the cloud cover and textures of the city obscure the details of the analysis. There is not a strong difference. Plus, I don’t have as much practice doing Canthan maps.

I did use that method for my Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer title. So, if you want to post your map in the Canthan forum, I’ll analyse it for you.

I must say your map analysis is really good. I henched Gates of Kryta today and got 0.3% I would have never of found. I'm really interested in the mechanics involved to analyze the maps. I figure if I knew what you do and how I won't be needing help with maps of 4 other characters.

Mitch You can resolve the problem fairly easily. Open the screenshot with Paint (right click > open with > paint) and save it as jpg (or jpeg), not as a bitmap. That should do the trick.

Hey i found a better method for analyzing map completion

first invert the top image. Then use color burn to blend the top layer.

here are my results...im only liek 70% explored..i just started



The brightest areas are the unexplored ones.

It might not be better for all areas, Dougal's method still works very well.

Sister Brianne, I'll try that method, it really seems to bring out the Jungle and Ascalon areas.

Thanks.

Lady Blackbelt, post your map and I'll analyze it for you.
Or you could check out post #1111 for the method of creating a difference map, and post #273 for the maps in 1280x1024 and 1024x768.

Ok I finally managed to clear out Lornars Pass, what I thought would be about 1% ended up being only 0.4%. So I am still short 1.2%

Areas that I know I need to explore again:

1. Frost Gate - The very bottom left of the map, where the mission area overlaps with Lornars Pass. Hoping that I can get in there though...

2. Iron Mines - Need to redo the bonus areas

3. Mineral Springs - Need to redo a little bit in the cave

Any help on finding the remaining bits would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in need of some help!
I would really like any one to analyse my map, currently stuck at 98.0%

I know i have some parts left on "The ring of fire islands last mission" and "Thunderhead keep" but not to make 2.0%, just want some help with the last part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tell me what i need to do.

Here is a quick comparison for ya.

The green circled areas need further work.

Suggestion: Hug every wall in Tyria. All of your edges need to be cleaned up.

I just got 100% last night and I happened upon something interesting about the title. Not sure if anybody else has noted this but it sure makes getting 100% of the map easier.

I'd explored everything up to shiverpeaks, even did a bit of ring of fire but that area is hard and slow with henchies so I left some of it for last. Yesterday I decided to do snakedance, dreadnaughts drift, and lomar's pass all in one go. So I started at camp raknor and moved northward towards beacons perch.

Just as I almost reached beacon's perch, I noticed my title says 100%. But clearly I can see on my map that the loop area with all the ice golems just east of beacon's perch is still fogged. Also, I can see that on the ring of fire islands, I have clearly left about half the fire imp route unexplored.

Thus, I guess ANET has given some allowance to make it easier for people to get 100%. I'd say, the actual percentage is more like 101% judging by how much I can see I have left to unfog. So really, if you're missing 0.1%, it shouldn't be that hard to find a spot to gain that extra 0.1% as there is a huge allowance for missed spots.

Thanks Wobrak! You found a few areas there that I couldn't see anymore

Honestly thought I was done in the Ascalon areas, but that gets my hopes up again that there still is a way to to get 1%

If you need further assistance please set your resolution to 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. Your original SS, which is at 928x692, makes a comparison harder even after resizing.
