Congrats on achieving Tyrian Grandmaster!

Here's a comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration.
Due to cloud cover I can't be postive about the west area of Ring of Fire. It comes up like it's not uncovered but like I said due to cloud cover I can't be positive. I suggest you double check, if you have any doubts retake your screenshot when less clouds are over the islands and I'll recheck it.

Thanks very much will be checking and trying out in a few minutes, i rechecked map and yes it looks unexplored - i did have some weirdness yesterday whilst skill capping; i only need 1 more ele cap and im completely done in that area. During my second to last capping run i noticed the whole island as foggy i.e. unexplored which went away after removing minimap and bringin it back.

Hello I'm posting for a friend.
She has 99% exactly and is getting mad with scraping edges lol. Send sent me the screenshot and I was wondering if you could circle the places and show her good places to scrape rather than trying to make good guesses hehe.

Heres the map

Thanks very much on behalf of my friend and I =)

PS the map MIGHT be a little small, not sure if its my brower or my host, Let me know and I'll try to fix it

Hello,

I cant figure out where the remaining bits are. I've rescraped about 50% of the game. Is there anyway you can help me?

I've been trying to do the map comparison but, the little differences are too hard for my old eyes to see.

This is my "M" map:

Hi Folks,

Thank you in advance to the person who can tell me how to clear this chunk of area in old Ascalon. I've attempted clearing it via 4 zones, and no luck. I guess I'm getting old and don't see the trail that leads there.

Please, if you can tell me from where I should depart and draw me a course to clear this small area.

Many thanks.

The west side of the Fort Ranik mission should get you close enough to clear the area in question. I'm not going to give you detailed instructions. That kinda spoils the point of exploration. Especially this area because you don't need a specific spell or be in a specific spot.

geneva2589
Please pass this info to your friend.
Game must be in Full screen mode.
Screen resolution must be: 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
When taking your screenshot use "Shift+PrintScreen" to remove the town pins from the map.

Thanks Wobrak,

It's been over a year since I was out there and for whatever reason, never tried the Ranik mission. Was able to clear said area from your tip.

Im curious as u how u got this area, ive tried several times to explore it from the Fort Ranik mission but i dont seem able to uncover it on the map. Perhaps im missing something but ive already tried completely wall hugging the west side, i dont know what else to try.

Hi Sophitia,

It was really pretty straight forward. Make sure you go out to the point where the guy gives you the side quest for his wife and then from there, walk forward and sneak right behind the wall too. Other than that, it's a wysiwyg kinda exploration.

@Vamp - Map is attached, got quite a bit of mapping there

@ Geneva - your map is sized VERY oddly. Can you please retake it at fullscreen 1024x768 or 1280x1024? Thanks

search in this thread, a few posts made about it

or read this bit here from Wiki -
Quote:

Dunes of Despair: One of the trickier missions to explore. You will likely need a friend to stay with the Ghostly Hero along with henchmen to keep him alive while you explore. Or you can try avoiding the enemy ghost and using necrotic traversal to jump across the nothern bridge. There are three enemy bases to explore at the southern end of the map, the western one will have a draw bridge drawn up. You can still walk through it. In addition, there is a very large area to explore east of the eastern most base accessible through a tight tunnel slightly north of the southeastern base. Beware of the large number of Jade Scarabs that crawl out of the ground. The area north of where the second Siege Wurm spawns can be explored. Roughly .7% was uncovered doing this.

Anyhow, here is the map, thanks.

You're missing it. By alot.

1. Set your ingame screen resolution to 1024x768. (if this totally confuses you STOP & PM me)
2. Take a screenshot of your map by holding "Shift+PrintScreen".
3. Repost your new map here and either myself or Luciora will do a comparison for ya.

This isnt my map. It's my friends map, she has 99% explored. I'm not confused by the information.

I think I'm going to have my friend try it. According to my screen its all there. I'll give it one more shot and send my friend to do it.

Geneva what we need is for you or your friend to go to the options in guild wars, change the resolution of the game there to 1024x768 or 1280x1024. Click accept and then choose the char. once in game, take a screen shot of the map and upload it here.

It is rather difficult to resize a map to match the resolutions that you have used thus far. If you still have trouble, please let us know

Hey, I'm trying to get the Tyrian Grandmaster title aswell ^.^
Although I'm kinda stuck on 96.9% D: , could one of you guys point some areas out where some exploring needs to be done?

Thanks in advance!

If you are still inside the fortress where the hero ghost would stand to do his thing, then you are in the wrong place. The gate that is referred to here is for the fort outside, it will have a drawbridge that is raised, but you can actually walk right over the "empty" space.
