OK i'll be checking the following maps :

- Tuon
- Pee Heel
- Indian
- Clerihew

Check back in a couple of hours for your maps.

@ DonCorleone - Your map resolution is 750x600 not the 1280x1024 / 1024x768 I'll try rescale my maps to that size but I can't make any promises.

Anyone knows how to uncover this place (north-eastern bit of the Frost Gate)? I see it uncovered on most of the maps but can't uncover it - I've explored the whole area around using the nocrotic traversal trick but there, nada.



EDIT - I have now 99.7, thanks to Luciora's analyze - however I'm stuck. I've compared with the other maps posted here and I can't find any difference. Could someone have a look at it again? Thanks.

link removed

EDIT 2 - Nevermind, I have 99.9% now and I know where to get the last 0.1%. Thanks for the help!

"Tyrians cannot enter the two mission on Shing Jae (with the exception of some glitch a person claims to have found which I have not seen). This has an effect because both of the missions there turn into explorable areas after you complete them. Hence, those two explorable areas are off limits."

This is a load of rubbish! Tyrians can! 3 of mine have bizarre posting

They couldn't just after the release of Factions. Anet fortunately changed that shortly afterwards.

A plea to Anet: please please please make the arenas available for exploration in Tyria. I'm working hard to become 100% Tyrian grandmaster cartographer, but I haven't gotten the chance to visit all the arena's before factions came out and everything got closed and placed on the Isles of the Unnamed.
I need to be able to explore the arena's and the island where the guild halls used to be. Make it a boat trip from Lion's arch just like before, call it the Tyrian sightseeing boat trip, I don't care. please Anet, let us explore 100%!

OK. I need help. I have done the Dunes bonus, The Wilds, Prince Rurik's path in Frost Gate, and the Great Wall areas. I am stuck at 98.1%. Seeing how much I have to uncover for a mere 0.1%, I am having a hard time figuring where all I need to go to unlock 1.9%. Could you guys please help help? The map is 1280 x 1024. Thanks!

Mr. Diggles

Man, if only I went to the arenas before they closed them off, I would be done. ANet FTL....

@ CandyPrince - The Canthan starter missions were at first closed to Tyrian chars since your character would be at a higher level than the missions really provides for. This has been changed though to allow us explorers to find a few more %'s

@Sjeng - I highly doubt that the Arenas will be opened again. They have no use anymore and you do not require them to obtain Grandmaster Cartographer. I've only ever visited the Ascalon arena and the arena at Yaks Bend. You need to put in a bit more effort to make up for the loss of the other arenas but it isn't all that bad in the end

@ Pee Heel , Indian and Clerihew - Its a pleasure A bit slow so sorry for that Hope you all manage to get those last few spots *insert thumbs up smiley here*

@ Ultimate Warrior & Mr Diggles - I'll check your maps in a little while and post them for you.

Hi everybody, I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm at 99.9% and I know where to get the last .1%...but I don't know how to get there.



If you can't see the image, it's the bend in the big island in the Ring of Fire Islands on the soutwest side. I've done abbadon's mouth mission+bonus twice and couldn't get it. I've also played on the beach in hell's precipice; got the fuzz right next to it, but obviously not that part.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. I just didn't hug the beach hard enough in Hell's Precipice.

Sorry, but I can't resist . Grandmaster pimp:

Tibbles, I'm not Dougal, but there are 2 spots I could find at a glance.

1 is in the top, middle part of Mineral Springs.

The 2nd one is the Dunes of Despair, in the are of the bonus, your missing the two forts, and the big area to the NE of the South East fort.

Tibbles, could you post up a larger map? I can't get it to maginfy enough to actually let me see the details.

A couple things I did notice:

East side of Talus Chute, you're missing a few patches near the Icedome zone. (Talus Chute is almost a perfect rectangle) Try going from Ice Caves straight up to the Icedome zone while hugging the walls, that should clear it for you.

The area near the northeast zone out of Icedome (the one that leads into Frozen Forest). If you clear out that huge circle full of stone summit in Frozen Forest, you should be able to get it.

The middle patch in Deldrimor Bowl can also be mapped.

A small patch right outside the Iron Mines zone, just head south and hung the wall.

I *think* you still need to clear out the area outside of Thunderhead Keep itself, but I can't see clearly enough to be sure.

Luciora you are my hero many thanks for your time and effort on my map. Here is a pic of me in Hells after the final piece of the puzzle had been found. Your map took me until 99.7% but i knew I had a few extra spots in ROF and Hells to take care of. It looked so daunting when it came back to me with so many green circles. Thanks again

Congratulations to all who have attained the title of Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer under the analyses of members like Wobrak and Luciora.

Just popping in to check how the members of the community are faring and how patient and appreciative those getting help are of those analyzing.

Good job!

Okay, I decided to fully explore the tyrian map before nightfall is released and became very inspired with this topic. However now, I have 99% done and still need one more percent. I know I have a bit of scraping to do at iron mines of moladune and thunderhead keep but that won't bring me to 100% and I don't have any places to go on.

If someone would be glad and analyze my map, it would be greatly appreciated.
My map is located in:

I made it to 96.5% by myself- wanted to get to 99 before asking for help, but Nightfall is coming fast. An analysis would help me make it.

Map is attached- hope I got the format correct.

Thanks!

I DID IT!!!! By the graces of the gods, Dougal and Luciora, I finally did it. Believe it or not, the last patch that gave me 100% was obtained from hugging the walls in the Fort Ranik mission. Thank you guys soo much for your help.

p.s. Uh oh, what is she doing in Cantha already. Curse this GW obsession!
