Tips and Maps for 100% Tyria Exploration (No Map Checks)
Pheff the Monk
ok i need a more indepth discription on how to post my screenshot of my explored map...
Chronos the Defiler
yes i would not mind knowing how to take a non-labeled fullscale screenshot of my world map -.-
I got my 100% yesterday, so if i knew how i could post it and it may help.
the LAST area i uncovered to get my 100% was NW of D'Seaboard where there is a Caromi boss (the area isnt very faded so it doesnt look uncoverable, but it is)

Hi it's again me
This time at 99.2
attached 3 maps with different cloudsystem
btw - i can't explore that NW corner of Ice Caves - was there about 3 times and nothing
can someone show me the point of exploration? (I was from ice caves side and talus chute side)
@Pfeff: OK, from the top
From the zoomed OUT full world map, shift-printscreen (remember the path). You MAY first want to make sure that your screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 or 1024x768 in F11 graphics tab in game though as these are best. Open this screenshot in paint and save it again as a jpg(at highest quality). Now you are ready to post it, if you make any kind of post, or edit an existing one, there is a 'Go Advanced' button on the lower right of the edit window. Press it, this remember anything you've typed in already so don't worry. On the new page near the bottom is another button 'Manage Attachments' press it. In the popup window, browse for the jpg you just saved and then hit the attach button. Save changes, Thats it.
@Indian, no problemo, I was learning as I went and you do have a few spots for me to still clear as well... but I may have found one or two more spots on the bigger map (reposted in same post last page). Good Luck.

Thanks for the assist lennymon Sorry I didn't post the last batch of maps yet, couldn't get onto the site last night, kept getting server errors I'll post them this afternoon though
Lennymon, basically I just flip between the two maps slowly going every bit of it to find blotches that does not fit. Then I invert both maps and do it again. This usually helps to point out spots I missed (wall creeps).
Indian, try posting anything in the 1280 range, I'll try from my laptop for a different res since the screen on here is a bit more flexible than my lcd at home. The higher res just allows me to zoom in more without distortion, so it is a little easier to look for the wall creep spots that you require

And i think i got it this time so ty and ty for the person to help me. BTW i happened to get from 97.9 to 98.1 =P
PS. O ya its up TY, and i beg that its so the wrong resolution...

lennymon
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing 'the manual method' flipping back and forth, it works far better for me than the original protocol with difference layers. Thanks Luciora.
Just in case anyone finds it usefull... Here's my '100%' *without anything but the 2 arena lobbies* at <1920x1200>. I use '100%' since I have a few known missing spots, which I will edit out once I get them, but they are a small spot in se corner of frost gate, might be something in the hills on east talus and another on the east wall halfway up from Grenths in the corridor. Maybe even possibly another spot or two that haven't popped out at me yet.
1920x1200BMP
1920x1200JPG
Just a reminder, we will likely miss spots around towns if your map has the town pegs in it, for best results use SHIFT-Printscreen when you take the screenshot.

Mellyora Wylfre
Ah, I didn't know about the town pegs messing up the analysis. Here is an updated screenshot, I cleared some fog in Ascalon, but my percentage remains the same. >< Hope this is big enough.
lennymon
Im sorry Mellyora, I tried there just isn't enough information at that resolution to really compare, I did a resize and found a few spots, but it would help me, to help you tons if you could repost at either 1024x768 or anything higher but I did what I could.
Edit: Richard, For some reason your map file was a really odd resolution? I resized, but it wasn't a great fit. Still I did what I could, since you've got a lot left it doesnt really matter, when you get closer like 98/99+ this would be a big problem.

Cheers

lennymon
had some time before the seminar to kill
Man I would've killed to have the arenas.... anyhow...
Worst you definitely wont need all of these spots for 100% so pick yer poison
should be enough in henchy freindly areas without hitting droks corridor.

srry for the delay, Lorgbow.
I hope I got it right these are my first maps analyzed. As I have both 100% titles and would probably not have made it without the help I got here I decided to start helping out others by analyzing.
plz let me know if I analyzed correctly and if you got the desired results.
Regards

Since I was picking away at Noliping's map little by little I can compare it, its about exactly what I had. I had found 3 additional (very small) spots which seem to be missing on most maps plus a couple others which may be partly cloud variance, but because he's got the arenas the extra small spots probably wont be worth the effort.... nice work. Yup, that's pretty much why I came over here to help out as well, even though I would have made it on my own (was about to install photoshop anyway) it saved me a lot of pain on my last 1% coming here. The other reason I came here is to perfect my own map since I didnt have arena leeway my map is almost there and Im a lil AR about it now and want to make it perfect...100% just isnt good enough.
I'm also trying to compile a 'guide' of sorts along the lines of what Livingston did for Cantha, but perhaps slightly looser. Considering the much larger area of Tyria, that level of detail just won't be pragmatic
Edit: I edited Gilibran's map for Noliping in pink for what I had found

EUhh question!!! is this my map you guys analyse? cause there is a green pointer in it and i dont have that on mine???? Or is it the 100% map and you have point out where im missing spots?
thanks
thanks
lennymon
Noliping, you would likely get about 1%+ just from Talus Chute/Ice caves/Tasca's demise, thats the majority of it. perhaps 0.1-0.2 in the bonus of Aurora glade and same or possibly a little more in THK. Talus chute NE quadrant has a secret entrance, theres a (not very good) map on how to get there in post #100 of this thread, but essentially you leave from ice caves to talus chute and go down after a few groups of imps/golems there is a small dead end of frozen water with seemingly impassable hills south and east. You can get into the hills on the east wall there.
The Pointer is from whichever 100% map Gilibran used. but since I compared yours to mine already, I just edited his for the additional spots

I've gone through this thread a few times, and just wanted to say that you guys are really doing a great thing. I'm working towards my title still and want to see what I can do with it before I cave and ask for help. Just wanted to show some appreciation for you guys and what you're doing.
lennymon
Airryck, no problem dude! -highly recommend- downloading the free trial version of photoshop. dont use the original comparison method as posted in the thread, but the 'manual' one, this is the way that Luciora briefly described on the last page. Essentially you paste your map onto a '100%' map and click the little eyeball for 'layer1' on and off. This will make the differences easy to spot. This method allows you to 'do it yourself' AND save a huge amount of time
Miss Gags
Hello i have gone up to 98.4% and now i dont know what to do anymore..
i took some screen shots at 1025*764.. man the game is big at that screen resolution.. i use to play on 1920*1200.
I took some different maps. i whould appreciate if you can take a look and tell me were to start exploring..
Thx

Thanks for the advice, I think I am going to try the photoshop method, but does anyone have a 100% map at a 1280*800 resolution?
lennymon
If you play 1920x1200 I can compare using that Miss Gags, and it may be more complete if you would though...use a *shift-printscreen* next time. I'll get started using these however if there is anything in or near an outpost I may miss it due to the pins.
Edit: here's a 1280x800 for u airryck, known spots: east wall of snake dance up from grenths, a tiny spot in se corner of frost gate mebbe more. Also congrats Miss Gags, you're the first map I've checked who had this spot uncovered just north of d'allesio seabord.

First I would like to say that this thread is just great. I have used it many times to help move my Necro along while mapping. I do however find myself stuck. I hate to ask because I like to do things myself but I just can not see where the last 1.9% is on my map. I know I need some in HP mission (before you kill Rurik), but other then that I am a bit lost. I have tried the tab method with TC Fish's maps and that got me from 90 to 98.1. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Dougal Kronik
Frogtree, here is your analyzed map.
Good luck!

Good luck! Thank you very much for the quick turn around Dougal. I will start working on that tonight and this weekend. I hope to get this done before Nightfall comes out. I love being anal about finsihing games and titles.
