Good job with the guides. Very informative. Too bad they will end up getting buried in this thread.

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

If you post a copy of your map I'll do a comparison for ya. Since you are at 99.9% you probably won't have to go to Dunes, unless you absolutely have to.

Hi, been stuck at 99.5% for a while now, the only 100% map i have to compare with has places missing which I have. Hopefully you can havea little look to see where im missing places. Its in 1024*768, using a widescreen monitor so i cant give you a higher resoultion.

1. Your map resolution is not standard. Please set your resolution to 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 then retake your screenshot. Remember to use "Shift+PrintScreen" to remove the pins from the map.

2. THK - At the end of the mission DO NOT talk to the King. This way you can explore the northern edges without worry.

3. Dunes - There are multiple posts/threads covering this mission. Pick the one you that best suits you.

4. Here is a short list missions you need to redo to "wall-hug".
a. Great Northern Wall
b. Nolani Academy
c. Borlis Pass
d. Frost Gate
e. Ice Caves

5. Here's a short list of areas you need to revisit to "wall-hug".
a. The Falls
b. Mamnoon Lagoon
c. Snake Dance
d. Tasca's Demise
e. Spearhead Peak

So far I just got to the desert with my dervish. I did the ferry thing, ended up in LA and then hiked with my heroes to Ascalon. From there I cleared out every area and did every mission up to the desert. I know I have some cloudy spots for the bonus to divinity coast but I have 60% just into Augury Rock.

Any suggestions to places I should pay close attention to in the desert?

Ok with help I am now at 99% but stumped... I didn't do the low level arenas as a n00b character so really need to scrape hard here. Please point out anything at all I may have missed,..

Since I started the quest for grand master explorer title i really need help. I have spent days wall walking and trying to get the last few percents of my map of tyria but have failed to find what I am missing. Please help with any suggestions as to what I can do to get the rest of my map. Thanks in advance. I do know there is a little more to get in the last mission which I will try to get tonight and also there is a little area in the sw corner of dunes mission I can't seem to get the bridge to drop to get over there. A suggestion for that would be great too. The only other areas I can think I don't have is the arena areas which I think it's too late for those. Is it possible to get the grand master without getting those? HELP

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

SW Dunes area - The bridge only looks to be up. You can still cross it and explore the area. Just think of Indiana Jones and his leap of faith in the 3rd movie.

Areana areas are not required so don't worry about them. There is more leeway in Tyria than you think.

Togira Ikonaka
Yes the game needs to be in "Full-screen" mode when you take your screenshot.

Luciora
Welcome back.
It hasn't really been that busy here with maps.

Hey guys, viz Wobrak, Azrial and co I would love to be able to lend a hand now and again. I am no expert but while getting this title I have managed to become proficient in using photoshop. I have a tryian map at 100% without ever setting foot in an arena. Also I have some fresh memories of acquiring this title and getting the difficult areas. Yell if you need help any time.

I'm unable to give you a comparison due to your screenshot not being at a standard resolution. Please retake your screenshot using one of the following resolutions: 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200.
Two things to remember.
1. Have your game in "Full-screen Mode"
2. Hold "Shift+PrintScreen" to take your screenshot. It removes the towns pins from the map.

DeMiGod
No need to ask. If you want to help others than just jump in. Any help given is appreciated.

I too have trouble with these annoying exploration titles if i were you i would settle with what you have right now and try out some new titles for a while like the drunkard title or a pvp title like gladiator ( even though i have never gotten past team arenas and in to HA) try something else for a while instead of being miserable.

Thanks again for the map assistance. So far I have 99.5 and have 2 other areas to map. My question is with the Frost Gate mission. There were several spots that were circled and I wall hugged those areas but nothing changed. The only thing I can figure is there must be some way to get down to Ruriks path that he walks on. Is that possible? If so what is the trick in doing so. I brought necrotic transversal but I could not get close enough to the corpses that Rurik had slain.

Don't wait until you reach the end. Kill one of the mobs that are on Ruriks path along the way. When I mapped Frost Gate, I killed a Snow Wolf using Life Siphon then used Necrotic Transversal. But sometimes they don't always spawn close enough. It took me three tries to get the right spawn.

The spot in Mineral Springs is questionable, but it showed up using both difference and color burn.

This is getting very annoying. I can't seem to get a spawn to use necrotic transversal in Frost Gate and I can't get over the bridge in the south west corner of dunes mission. Is there any where else that could net me .2%? Thanks in advance.

for the frost gate kill one of the etteins under the bridge in the cave area where u start the bonus.

and for the dune bridge...its really down...always, i will admit it was hard to find where it puts u on the bridge but keep trying and u should get it

So you're saying that if I kill an ettin under the bridge and use necrotic transversal, it will tele me on top of it?
Also I have tried wall hugging in Dunes mission by where the bridge would be down at and I can't cross it. Tried several times. All the monsters that stand there just laugh at me.

NVM I finally got 100%
The ettin thing worked to get .1% but gave up on the Dunes. I found teh last .1% in Dragons Gullet. Phew thanks for the help.

I wanted to thank you guys for evaluating my last map.. it really helped. Now I'm up to 98.8%, but I need another sanity check.

There are a few spots I know I need to hit:
1. NE part of dreadnaughts drift
2. NE corner in spearhead peak
3. SE spot in Frost gate, but I can't seem to get any more on the far southern wall there.

I even found a few places not marked on the last review... just happened to notice the fog go *Poof* while walking.

Thanks again,
Fen

Hi,
Well i'm now getting stuck on what i can obviously explore now at 98.2%, there is a section on ring of fire misssion that i can see needs doing, but i cannot scale my screen caps to match anything shown on guildwiki so hard time getting difference to work in photoshop. Has anyone got a screencap of 100% map that does not use any arena to give the title, and quote screen res it was capped at, cheers for help

Here is cap at 1600x1200, compressed at level 8 to jpg
