Wobrak is absolutely amazing, seeing the work he has done so far. Pity we can't seriously reward him for his work, can we?

If you can spare the time, can you please help me with my own map?

Thanks

I've had my map checked on in this thread about three times now...
It's really helped me out, and I'm at 99.8 now...

But each time, I've always had one spot and I cant figure out how to reach it...


Theres one spot, RIGHT above the frost gate town, and I've never been able to reach it... Not the spot in the top west corner of the Borlis mission area, but a spot right below that...

I didnt circle it on the screenshots I'm posting, but you can see it...

The real spot I'm asking about is the one I circled...

I've tried reaching it from the borlis mission and from the horsemines...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...za_b/gw103.jpg

but from the borlis mission, theres a wall in the way, and from the horsemines, it's just too far from the southern edge to reach...

How exactly do I reach this spot?

Swordfish56 - You gotta lotta work ahead of yea. Mostly you need to hit just about every zone in North and South Shiverpeaks again. There are spots all over the place.
Two other noteable places that you need to definately go over again are The Sanctum Cay and Dunes of Despair missions.
On Sanctum Cay you need run around the entire edge of the mission map again including the beach at the end of the mission. If you don't go onto the dock at the end the timer won't start so you can explore. But there are ALOT of enemies, but the are easy to run from, so bring run skills.
In Dunes of Despair, you missed the whole extra hidden section to the east as well as the southwest fort glitch(where the gate is up but its really down).
So you should have plenty to explore. Good luck.

RAMZA - I'm not sure on how to get that area either. I have most of that cloud gone but not all of it. I just scraped the edges on both zones to get most of it.

Dr Matteo - i am just short of 100% nor do i have a 100% complete map thats 1280by1024. So until i get done or find one i cant help much. Nor can i see anything just off eyeballing.
My suggestion would run around in every town. Takes about 10 minutes to do them all, and see if you get any. Some of the towns are huge so you may have a missed a spot. I myself found 0.3% around towns last night. So give that a try first.

EDIT - On second thought i think i found a place to get you your last 0.1% Matteo. In Talus Chute there is a lapse in the wall where you can climb the side of a hill and run all the way to the edge of the map. This glitched area was posted way back. Let me see if i can find the post so that you can see exactly where it is.
Look at this post here.

Ok well im down to the last 0.3%. So if anybody could point me in the right direction, it'd be nice.

I know theres some fog between Iron Horse Mines and Borlis Pass that i still can't get and there is two spots near Granite Citadel that i have been over and over but still can't clear. I'll post up some mini-map shots of the sections im talking about later.

And Windego try posting a 1024by786 or 1280by1024 screen shot, so i can do a difference map. But just from eyeballing, you need to do redo the south wall of the Dunes of Despair mission, making sure you run across the glitched bridge in the fort in the SW corner. (The bridge appears up but its really down. That and you need clear out more corners in the Ices Caves mission. As well you can run to the glitched area and get to the edge of the map right above the Ice Caves(refer to my previous post for more information on where that is.)

heres maps for shiva and Windego,
shiva, you have all the usual suspects left, plus edging basically everywhere in southern as well as northern shiverpeaks. There might be more that I cant pick out at this res tho.
windego: mostly just a little edging, the dunes sw corner and ruriks path

Shiva - i circled some of the less noticeable spots, but pretty much you need go through and scrape the entire shiverpeaks again. Other then that you need to hit the west wall of the Dunes of Despair mission and run around the entire edge of the Sanctum Cay mission.


EDIT- I see someone beat me to it, but i'll upload the diff map anyway.

Hey RAMZA good to see u making progress. I did a darken compose on your screencaps which eliminated a lot of clouds:

http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm...amza/ramza.jpg


tab between your map and mine to confirm areas:
http://www.disasterzone.net/~h4ngedm..._stripped2.jpg

You still had some of the slow moving, low altitude clouds obscuring some areas tho, another 5 or so different cloud positions would help greatly in stripping more. On visual comparison to my 99.9% (i havent made a stripped 100% yet) map i see you might be missing (some might be low flying clouds):

1. slightly below center in deldrimor bowl
2. the western border of divinity coast. do necrotic traversal to get to the western side without the eye.
3. south west area of the black curtain
4. a little above south east of the frost gate. you got the corner, but didnt scrape the area above it.
5. NE the falls / NW reed bog border
6. Eastern Pockmark Flats, NE of the crater thing
7. Northern border of Frozen Forest
8. Some ambiguities in North Kryta Province/Scounderel's Rise border.

That being said, I still see pieces you have that I'm missing even though I have 100% now. Can you tell me how you got the
1. NE Spearhead Peak / SW Tasca's Demise border. This one i've scraped many times If it is behind the eastern gate in Tasca's Demise, I haven't figured out how to open it?
2. My northern Silverwood is not as clean as yours. I'll have to scrape it again myself tho.

Well I'm still at 99.7%. If anyone see any places on my map that i've missed, please tell me. My difference maps are no longer helping, as i only have one or two small faint spots left to explore.

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

Windego,
Check your graphics settings in-game. If available, please use 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 for your map screenshot. If these settings are not available please reply and we will try to work something else out.

Thanks in advance. Just got tired of being unmotivated enough to figure out the places i don't know about. I know i've still got dunes, and hells, and a couple other places, but they don't work out to equal the 1.7% i still need.

Lorgbow,

Looking at your map reminded me of when I was at 99.8%. It's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. The three areas in the Crystal Desert are not 100% positive. It could be cloud cover messing with the difference and color burn.

Wobrak why don't you hook us up with the image that you are using for all the burning and such?

Also if you could zoom in on dunes bonus area for me... thanks.
