Hi Savio and Lennymon...

You give good advice. Thank you! I got onto Rurik's path... finally. And it was a piece of cake once I took your advice.

omg i got 99.8 but i cant seem to clear the other places, on my last map that was done for me (thanks for that btw) the places i cant seem to clear is the area in the borlis pass mission, the place in lornors pass, the place in spearhead peak, and the spot in thunderhead keep (going to try to get this one again, party was getting killed so i tried to run for it, died while doing that but maybe next time). those r the places i cant seem to get, so please look at my map and PLEASE give me tips or something elpful for me to get those places thank you. The map is in post number 1941 of this thread (cant seem to load it from url) its the pfeff one.

EDIT: on a maw killing trip with my guildies i got to get the spot in lornors pass (no change in percent).

Hey guys, I'm at 99.3%, and can't figure out where to go next. I was very meticulous in my travels, and thought that I managed to get everything from every area. However, it's quite apparent that I'm missing .7%. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pheff, for borlis pass, you'll want to get from the north side in iron horse mines exploreable I think. spearhead is just clear that area, and hug really tight to the wall aver 2 steps till it clears. thunderhead will be just outside of the gate, you can take henches for this and probably just skip the siege part, run out the north gate and hug the left up till the corner slowly.

Heya All.

My map percentage is currently at 80.2% and i was wondering if someone can take a look at my map so i can know where i should focus my exploration. The resolution i have my map at is 1024 x 768.

Thx In Advance.

jecht2, at 80% there is so much that needs to be done that a comparison won't really help that much right now.

Open one of the 99% maps post above and you will quickly be able to see places that you need to visit.

A few that I spotted is : The falls, Lornars pass, Dreadnoughts, desert, ice floe, the list goes on.

What I did was start from the beginning and just wall creep EVERYTHING. It is not easy and will take a bit of time, so goodluck with the exploring

Alright, I figured out how to take a screenshot. However, I don't have photoshop, so if anyone could take a look at this map and try to find .7% I would forever be grateful.

I've been here before, but have been slacking off on the effort of obtaining TGMC. For about one month I've been stuck at 99.6%.

I do realize the back path of RoF is missing, but I doubt it'll yield me more then .2%, maybe 3%. But it is impossible to find a exploration group for that area. Anyway, please compare my map one last time, thank you in advance.

Anyway, please compare my map one last time, thank you in advance. I need the back path of RoF too and to scrape the walls and edges there. If you want to form a group of mappers this weekend, I'd love to join you. Please contact me. My IGN is Vala Tura

Well you know what they say - third time lucky

Anyway, this is my third map comparison and I'm hoping it's my last. I'm on 99.4% now. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but my screen is set at 1024x768.

I don't have photoshop, but it looks like you're missing rurik's path and a bit of the end in the frost gate.

I am utterly stuck at 96.1% I know that there is some part of Frost Gate, but the supposed wolf hasn't been there the past seven times I've been through. And I know that I have some in Hell's Precipice. What else am I missing? I have wall hugged every other mission and area and still that far away.

Just realized I also have a bit in Dreadnoughts Drift to uncover, as well.

I was bored waiting for Nightfall..so decided to explore...now, I am just obsessed...at 99.4 AND have hugged the walls around every area (I kept a list...yeah...Im that anal.... ... I tried to follow the suggestions of others and make a 'comparison' map using a 100% map and layering it w a screen shot of my visited areas... BUT...after one hour and still nothing to show for it, decided this was beyond my computer skill level...Ive done the necro tricks...and, have all the missions and bonuses and quests... in fact, in looking at other 100% maps, Ive opened more areas than they did... EXCEPT, they all had the old arenas and I do not.... yeah i know, I read before starting that 100% was possible w/o them.... but.... Anyway, I have loaded a screen shot ... if someone is really bored and can look at this and tell me what areas I have missed, great... If not... that's ok... good just to vent a bit.... Have fun all.... cheers..

After seeing this fantastic topic I hope someone can help me with my map.
I'm on 96.8 at the moment. I know I need Ruriks frost gate route and some of Kryta but I imagine that I'll be desperately trying to find the rest afterwards so knowing where to start looking would be a massive help.
If you could have a look at my map (as my photoshop skills are pretty poor), they would be greatly appreciated.
I took the map picture in 1280*1024 and hopefully I did it ok
Thanks again for any help and enjoy the halloween event!

**NOTE: do not open your map until all video lag has stopped**

When submitting your pictures, please create the screenshot 5 seconds after opening the map window. The 5 seconds start the moment you hit M and see the map (so unzooming is like 1 second or something).

I want to see if having the clouds in the same spot will assist me or not. If it does, it will make it supremely easy to detect areas that need to be uncovered.

You can use any size you want.

Oh yeah...

Once you align the clouds, it becomes clear as day the areas that need to be uncovered.

.

CYBER88: You have alot of small areas to uncover. Get these ones for now and then if you don't have 100%, post a new map and I'll do a more in depth comparison.

Same as the rest. Uncover these areas and submit a new map.

hudahalamei: take another screenshot (5 seconds after hitting M) with SHIFT held down as you hit printscreen.

Since you're so close, those town markers CAN skew the results.
