yeah as a monk i find it hard to go to some places without having to actually fight monsters there
try either the mo/a sb runner or the south shiverpeaks runner in those harder places
Brutaniu Mason, would you mind taking some closer in shots of each section of the map followed by a post? that truly does look like a well done map(be nice and pm me if u do+link)

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%.
Well I managed to get my 100% today after checking those areas (and did so without having to redo the South Shiverpeak ones  ). A big thank you to Asrial for performing the map comparison for me and to anyone else who responded to my posts. Thank you all for your help, I would have been lost without it

silara_jorinset & EyelessTyphus,
Congrats on acheiving Grandmaster for Tyria!

Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
05 Nov 2006 at 22:17 - 1340
Thx... wow i must say it is different spots now then from the last time...
and by looking at other peoples mapps i think i have found 2 spots i need to uncover.
but i dont think it will be enough for 100% from 99.5 but it is 1 way in the right direction.
06 Nov 2006 at 02:00 - 1341
During the past few minutes I would have to say that a rather extraordinary event has occured. I have become a Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer. I have some things that I would like to say:
OMG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED AND SUPPORTED ME DURING THIS TIME OF.... UM, I DON'T KNOW.... SOMETHING, THANK YOU TO WOBRAK (SEE, NO TYPOS), ASRIAL AND THE OTHER PERSON WHO CHECKED MY MAP THE FIRST TIME. THANK YOU ALL!! (IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED I'M A BIT EXCITED AT THE MOMENT).
06 Nov 2006 at 02:43 - 1342
Congratulations!
Now.. go find a suitable place to take your screenshot and post it
06 Nov 2006 at 02:46 - 1343
Thanks for attempting to help Feathermoore.. but i ended up just doing it the old-fashioned way lol. Even though it cost everyone else their bonus :P But its well worth it because I'm now a TYRIAN GRANDMASTER MOTHA@#$%IN CARTOGRAPHER! And it took a while too.
If i could give 1 tip to everyone for exploring... look in Ascalon region. Along with the missions like Nolani Academy (where i found the last .1%), Fort Ranik, The Great Wall, etc. You would be surprised how much u couldve missed there.
Thanks and good luck everyone. Moving on to Canthan exploring...
06 Nov 2006 at 04:37 - 1344
I'm back with 99.4....
I know of two places I need...
I still need the bottom left corner of Dunes of Despair- but due to lack of players in the area, I haven't had a chance to grab it...
I also need a couple of pieces along the southern edge of Hell's Pre.... again, the same reason for Dunes is why I can't reach these places...
I'm still working on henching there, but I'm having trouble...
So, here's my map...
I wasnt able to patch together a Umap'd large version due to my computers capacity; and I know that the clouds can be a problem with the large map...
So I took a couple so that the clouds have moved...
Hopefully this will keep them from covering up certain areas...

Well those places got me another 0.6%. I still have like 3 more to do. I'll try those tomorrow.
Meh the last 1% really is the hardest.

Congrats on achieving Tyrian Grandmaster!
R_A_M_Z_A,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration. For the large area just north of the Ice Caves, enter Talus Chute from Ice Caves - follow the path down to the frozen creek where the Ice Golems hang - along the right side of the creek there will be a spot where you can get up into the hills. Click link for picture. LINK
06 Nov 2006 at 10:58 - 1348
Anyone can help me do a map comparison? i m stuck at 99.3%  & I don't know where to look. thx.  If possible, can tell me the area's name & roughly where it is position? Asrial has help me once but the shade in the desert is difficult to compare. so i need a bit more help in uncovering. sorry, I m not good with using photo editors.
06 Nov 2006 at 18:16 - 1349
Im so stuck at 97.7, and i do not have the old arenas. Since it IS possible to get 100% without them, im not giving up yet. I would like to ask if any of you can have a look at my map and point out the areas im missing. (If you could, with detailed info on how to clear that patch)

Hello! I'd like to ask for help, becouse I cannot find the last 0.7% for the Grandmaster Carto title.
06 Nov 2006 at 23:06 - 1351
I'm up to 99.5% now- I know I have a spot in spearhead, but apart from that, I am at a loss.
A new comparison would help a lot.
Thanks
Keeper
07 Nov 2006 at 00:08 - 1352
Keeper of Birds - I did a difference map of yours and you should be able to scrap up the last 0.5 % from the places circled. As well i put a ? mark by a place that looks like its cleared but if you dont have 100% by then go through that area as well.
PyrAnkh - I also did a difference map for you with the places you need to scrap along cirlced. I'll list out a few of the places for you to help.
Locations:
Anvil Rock - outside Ice Tooth Cave; Top and Bottom Left Edge
Borlis Pass/Iron Mines - Space between the two zones try scraping along either side
Deldrimor Bowl - Top, Bottom, and Right side
Lonar's Pass - Left side and a place right middle
Grenth's Footprint - near the SF entrance and below Warcamp
Snake Dance - Outside rankor in the corner
Mineral Springs - top left corner
Frozen Forest - top of the zone near Iron Mines
Frozen Forest/Ice Flow - Near the portal on both sides
I believe that is most/all of the places i cirlced. Good Luck
Oh and Katalizator you map wasnt 1024x786 and I my self am not quite at 100% so i couldn't analyze yours. My eyes aren't good enough to go by sight alone.
07 Nov 2006 at 00:51 - 1353
cyber88 & Katalizator,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
07 Nov 2006 at 08:48 - 1354
Could someone please help me with where I'm meant to explore?
I've got 2% left i think and honestly don't know what I'm missing (and dont know how to do the whole overlay map thing?)
any help appreciated
07 Nov 2006 at 09:36 - 1355
Looks like you could get about 0.2% in the great northern wall mission, in the 'running away' bit.
07 Nov 2006 at 10:49 - 1356
oh, thought i was done with that mission.
sigh, back to it again I go
07 Nov 2006 at 11:03 - 1357
vojnik,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
Click me for map
07 Nov 2006 at 12:31 - 1358
If anyone can help me find the last 3% of my map id be very much apreciate  Thanks in advance and good work everyone whos already got the title.
07 Nov 2006 at 13:15 - 1359
I'm stuck at 98,4% and can't seem to find the remaining % If anyone could help me by analysing my map I would really appreciate it..
07 Nov 2006 at 15:49 - 1360
i looked everywhere u circled wobrak but i still didnt get 100%, stuck at 99.6% now...  if u culd look at it one more time i think i can get it
07 Nov 2006 at 20:26 - 1361
Sophitia Leafblade, Kay84 & Snake King,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
07 Nov 2006 at 22:19 - 1362
Alright Wobrak, well all those areas got me to 99.3%. The only places i couldnt get where the top corner in Tasca's Deminse right outside The Granite Citadel and the middle section you cirlced between Iron Horse Mine and Borlis Pass. I scraped both of those but still no luck. Oh and I cant get the area you circled around the ascalon arena because my character is level 20 and cant enter the area where you cirlced.
Heres the link of my new map: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~ajdeboer/gw020.jpg
I'll try doing a difference clouds and see if i can find any others on my own.
EDIT - I am at 99.6% i found 0.3% running around cities.
07 Nov 2006 at 23:22 - 1363
99.6 and i got no ideas where i need to head.
And does any one have a latge map that i can zoom in on to see dunes of dispair, frost gate. and any others someone think i might have missed.
08 Nov 2006 at 04:17 - 1364
99.8 here and having trouble making sense of the difference map since the signal to noise ratio of the clouds is rather frustrating. I got fed up and did a darken composition of several sequential images in an attempt to pseudo-strip the clouds. Check out the results:
http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm..._stripped2.jpg
Strangely out of 10 sequential images it seems clouds are always over a few of the areas. If you a want to strip clouds using this technique, do the following:
STEP 1. take a bunch of screenshots of your map
STEP 2. use an image editing tool to compare 2 images, and pick the darker pixel
STEP 3. repeat for all images
The logic is that all clouds do are lighten the pixel they are over, so by taking the darker pixel we are getting the "real" map without distorting the map.
I was also thinking, would it be of interest (more of a request) for someone to replace this sticky thread with more of an informative thread? E.g. the OP would be a collection of 100% maps at different popular resolutions. I had trouble finding many 100% zoomed out maps and it is a long thread.
Help (Wobrak?) with my remaining .% would also be much appreciated. I already know there is a bit in the SW corner f Thirsty River, and a bit in the lava pit of Hell's Precipice, but sure there are easier ones to get?
08 Nov 2006 at 05:48 - 1365
h4ngedm4n- Lets see, there really isn't anything major or easy to get to that i can find. I only found three places in the difference map i made of yours. I circled them in the picture but here are the places.
THK- Go outside and scrape the very bottom of the map right after you enter. You'll probably have to go up and little bit and go through the Avericara (sp?) Braves to get to it. But there is a tiny piece in the bottom corner of the zone that shows up on the difference.
Frost Gate- I believe you'll have to try/use the NT trick again to get there.
Arid Sea-In the top left corner a small spot shows up. That should be the area between the triangle of zone portal. You can get that by running in the fort that is on the under side of that zone in the Arid Sea
Those should/may get you closer to 100%.
EDIT - After just random walking around towns and a quick run through The Northern Wall mission, i got to 99.7%. Damn if i only had the old pvp arenas, i'd so be done. Sigh. Oh well. Just a lil bit more work tomorrow and hopefully i should get 100%
08 Nov 2006 at 07:51 - 1366
Feathermore-
thanks for your examination! However, could I ask for additional help? The area you circled on Frost Gate is not on the NT path (Rurik's path), as at that position on the map, Rurik's path is along the western side of the Frost Gate. I do agree there is quite a blip there based on your difference map, but I cannot seem to eliminate it. Here is my umap pathing in Frost gate to get it (the fuzzy area in the center east):
http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm..._east_umap.jpg
THK: Went over this again, think it might have improved a llittle.
Arid Sea: Are you sure you don't have a cloud over that pit? difference map of a white cloud over that black outline would produce a false blip.
EDIT: looked at the difference map again and saw missing places in southeast of Hell's Precipice, south and east of Kessex Peak, ambiguities in Salt Flats and Diviniers Ascent (double checked those). Combined with that little piece of THK, its "100%". Thanks for the help.
08 Nov 2006 at 09:02 - 1367
Thx to the help of the folks here (Wobrak in particular) I am now at 98.8%. 100% is so close I can almost taste it!
May I please ask for one more comparison for the final shove this week? I still have fire isles (Rurik) to do but am hoping to keep that for the last - a grand finale if you will.
Thx stax and gj!!
Here is my map (1280x1024)

Father of Mir: as an eyeball comparison with my map two posts above (clouds semi removed), I see you are missing:
1) southwest corner of Dunes of Despair, across the invisible bridge, through the fake wall.
2) southeast corner of The Frost Gate, which is scratched out from the cave entered to the South. From the 3 Lever area, there are gates going East, South, and West. Go into the south one and there is a semi-hidden path leading to the south west. It'll get you that "corner" of Frost Gate.
3) its hard to tell due to cloud cover, but I think you are also missing the southern point of Lion's Arch.
hope this helps
08 Nov 2006 at 09:33 - 1369
Thanks Wobrak, im gonna go exploring tonight i think then
08 Nov 2006 at 10:15 - 1370
Thx h4ngedm4n I'll give that a go.
