Tips and Maps for 100% Tyria Exploration (No Map Checks)
cyber88
Yay! Finally at 100%. After weeks of struggling, I am finally there. Thanks to everybody who help me, especially Asrial & Wobrak who analysed my map for me. Big thank you to the both of you.

Hey,
I'm at 99.4% at the moment, but I have kind of lost track of what I did, and what I didn't. So Wobrak, could you look at my new map?

I found out last night space in larger camps counts also. specifically Riverside, The Wilds, etc. They have lots of lil nooks and crannies.

sythmoi & Kiebin,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
Enchanted Warrior,
Good point for those that didn't know. All of the towns and outposts count towards the title. It wasn't until I started mapping that I realized the size of Henge of Denravi and all the nooks and crannies in there.

Ok folks, two questions... first, is there a way to reduce/remove the "passing clouds" on the main map?
Second, anyone feel like picking out .4% from this map?

Jacxxmaster
You don't need every single little speck of exploration to get 100%... You can not explore a very few places and still get it...
countesscorpula
that may be the case, but my title tracker still says 99.6
Lavitz
i didnt know if it was better to use lower or higher resolutions for these things so i decided to switch it up a bit this time. i got up to 98% and would like an updated version of my difference map cause ive done a lot of places on my old one and would just like a clean map of what i havnt done. please and thank you.
the map is 800x600 this time. and just for future reference, someone let me know what res is the best to use.

Congrats Lorgbow!!
I've done some mapping in Nightfall but got to a point where I had to rush to finish the game. Now I need to return to all the fun spots... Atleast you don't have to explore the fun after the rift... That would be REALLY interesting
I'll check back this afternoon to see if any maps need analyzing. Been a busy while for me

countesscorpula & Lavitz,
Here's a quick comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
countesscorpula,
A couple pages back someone posted how to remove the clouds using Photoshop and multiple maps. It does clean up the map but it's not necessary. We can usually find the missed areas even with clouds.
Lavitz,
1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
Those are the most commonly used and preferred resolution settings (higher resolution yields greater detail). This has been posted before, but since this thread moves rather quickly at times information gets buried quickly. It also helpful if you hold SHIFT when taking your screenshot as this will remove the pins from the map.

Ok, as i do not have the battles isles, its much harder for me to get 100%. Now, i got this 100% map from a certain person who didnt have the battle isles. If somebody could compare the 100% map to mine, and give detailed directions to spots i missed, id be gratefull. If your comparison leads me to 100%, i will pay you a large sum of money.
100% map:

My maps are in the attachment. I took 2, to eliminate the factor of clouds. The 3rd has got removed pins in the map.
Remember the money, you know you want it
Thanks in advance,
~PyrAnkh~

Right, thanks Wobrak for pointing me in the directions I needed to go. Unfortunately now I'm stuck at 99.1% and I'm positive I scraped everything that was marked
So if you could please have a look at it again, I'm beginning to feel very very lonely.

Thanks Wobrak,
I saw a few of the ones you picked out and cleared them last night, but the final .1% came from that little dip just outside Beetleton. Never would have noticed it. Thanks again.
And Special Shoutout to AstroPubes, for puting up with my ranting last night.

Man I'm at 94%, and will stop trying at 95%. LOL I am sick of looking at the map. I salute those that can stick it out to 100%. Man I'll be on heavy meds by then if I keep going. LOL
Lavitz
sory bout that. but yea that 800x600 wasnt very detailed as you said. was on an old computer cause my dad wanted to use mine. it doesnt support anything higher than 800x600 lol.
but here is a 1280x1024 screenshot so if you could do a difference map of it that would be great. thanks in advance.

Hey guys, im stuck at 99.3 map explored, and i have run out of places to explore, can someone take a look at my map? Thanks in advance.
millsy182
so many people so many titles, i wonder if the title still holds any merit if i try and get it?
Luciora
Millsy182, Explorer title should be something that you do for yourself. Not only to use it as a means to show off to others
Exploring can be VERY difficult at times (specially if you play a caster), I remember spending 6 hours travelling from Droks to Beacons. Was not fun at all. I kept dying, henchies were useless, my language deteriorated rather badly as well But then you start to learn how to best play your character in PvE, things start getting easier and you get through some difficult bits much easier.
You get to see a lot of the map that many people pretty much ignore completely and I can promise you that there are a LOT of beautiful spots to visit in each campaign.
So if you enjoy a challenge and want to experience a few things that many others just ignored, go ahead and explore Just be careful, at 99% the obsession takes over your life

I'm at 97.3%, and I know I still need that Dunes Bonus area, but other than that, I'm stumped. Any help is appreciated~ Hopefully the map is okay, my screen resolution isn't very big. :[
sythmoi
Thanks Wobrak.... you easily brought me from 97.7 to 99.2. Ill try and get the rest later.
Regarding Dunes, there is a draw bridge that seems to be closed for me, it is the one on the right entering the temple thing. I have spoken to many people and they say I must just run over it. I can’t.
I have tried teleporting, I have tried killing the bad CASPER fighting till 6mins, but I cant cross it. It is as if it is up. (if you look at your map for dunes it will be the bottom left corner of dunes)
BTW, when I teleported i died then my henchies came to the rescue, never knew they knew how to fly.
Any help or tips will be appreciated, it is about .1% of my map, maybe.
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8...thmoi99lu6.jpg --- updated map. I know about the areas - Fire isles and duned (witch Im trying to get into) rest is kid of a mystery and I revisited most of them places Wobrak pointed out to me.

I went ahead redid your map.
When you attempt to cross the bridge of faith, what exactly happens? Do you run up to the edge of the moat and then stop as normal? Or are you stopped before the edge as though you hit a wall?
It might be that you were just catching the edge of a blocking volume and that made it appear as though you were being stopped. Since I wasn't there I can only speculate on why this happened. I'll revisit Dunes to attempt to duplicate the problem.

It is as if the bridge is up. I hit the end of the ground, where the bridge would beif it was down. I don’t reach the wall area on the other side at all. There was a few times where them archer dudes was body blocking me although there was a gap running in-between them. If it happens again ill do a screenie.
Ill just have to redo it again, about 10 times now ;( but to Masters I need it I know.
PS Thanks for all the Maps...Ill go redo them areas AGAIN....... sigh how hard is .8% actually.
