- Start with these areas and then come back for more if you don't have 100%.

- THANK YOU! Your map helped me uncover two small spots in Thirsty River (which I have no clue how I missed since it's an outpost!)

Sorry I was away in Elona last few days, and busy until tomorrow... Will be back then with more map help

Here is my 100% map at 1280x1024 (resizing never as good) I do have a few small spots yet I believe, but you'll know on comparison who's they are.

of note: no arenas on mine so almost perfect

silara_jorinset: all the areas surrounded by a red box are areas that cause a 'twinkle' when compared to my map.

A 'twinkle' indicates a difference of some kind. Uncover the larger areas and then come back for the smaller ones if you still don't have 100%.

Wow, the last few % is about 10 times harder than the full 95% or so. So heres some advice, whether it helps or not.

-Just go into every town and explore the edges. You might be missing more in towns than the wilderness.

-Explore the shorelines... its hard to tell when you havent explored the water areas or not.

Ehh thats all i can think of. Other than that, u better be walking on the walls if u wanna get 100%.

Thanks again for looking Silara, when using the "difference" method, the areas that still need to be uncovered show up as white or lighter areas. So, when looking at your map, it's not the entire area in the box, but the light areas that are in them.

I am at 97.5% explored on the map and the only known spots I have left are small spots in Thunderhead, Aurora Glade, Thirsty and Fire islands. These I intend to do with help from friends over the weekend. However I cannot believe that this will account for even 1%!
Please analyse my map (1280x1024) so I can get started on the difference so long?

Father Of Mir: don't forget to explore the Sanctum Cay mission; you're missing the northeastern section where the White Mantle come from in the end.

Hmmm, I think my map must have been... overlooked... Anyway, it wasn't checked and I'm reposting to get it done (I'm at 99.6% and I really wanna start Factions (lol)). My screen is at 1024x768.

Btw, no hard feelings about missing/overlooking my map. You probably get lots of maps to check and it's all for our benefit so i'm ok with it.

Marty Sliverblade,

Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.

Most of the areas circled are very small. The biggest areas are : just NE of Droks in Talus Chute and in the NW corner of THK mission. You probably won't need to clear all areas to hit 100%.

Thanks for the quick response. Red circles is a nice change though . It surprises me how many people call me 'Marty Sliverblade', not Marty Silverblade. Oh well :P

Looks like you're missing a chunk of the 'running path' in the great northern wall mission. You could probably get 0.2% out of that.

Marty,
I apologize for the typo, twice.

one last hope,
You already have a difference map that shows you what you're missing. Do you see the white spots in the Shiverpeaks? Those are areas that you have missing. Any area that shows up brighter than the surrounding area is what you need to uncover. Keep pressing on, you'll get there.

Eyeless Typhus,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.

Here you go Raizer and Demi, sorry for the delay.

@Raizer - It looks like you started focussing on your explorers from when you reached Kryta. Revisit the old areas and just keep an eye on the mini map for the bits that just doesn't fit

Goodluck to you both.

Miss Gags,
My settings don't go up to 1920x1200. If someone else isn't able to help then please retake your screenshot at 1600x1200 or below.

Irma,

Asrial & Luciora... Thank you both so much for your time in helping me... I've already gone from 98.6 to 99.1 and thats just been running around places I was SURE I'd mapped already. I'm finally confident I will actually get this title.
If either of you ever see me in game... I'd love to share a dwarven ale with ya Thanks again
