Hello, I'm at 99.0% in tyria, and the only place I know for sure that I haven't explored yet is the southwest corner of Dunes of Despair. And I know that isn't going to give me a full 1%. :P

If anyone could take a look and help me out, that would be great. :)

Macho Nacho and Pritomd We will need a zoomed out Tyrian map (prefer 1280 x 1024) with no outposts (Shift Screenshot).
Cheers

This is for Tyrian Map only. Post here instead.

Here is how you post your map

1. Set your ingame screen resolution to 1024x768.
2. Take a screenshot of your map by holding "Shift+PrintScreen".
3. Post your map here with an attachment

just making a post for self reference and progress report...

at 99.9% atm..

Did Great Northern wall and took a route where charr come on the way back, explored part of the map between the instance and piken square

used necrotic traversal in frost gate to get to rurik's road

scraped northwest spot in mineral springs

scraped southeast spot in sanctum cay

scraped missing spot in talus chute

scraped missing spots near sorrow's furnace

scraped more in thunderhead keep outside the fort

scraped south end of hells precipe island, went into the water

scraped south side of nolani, got some edges of rin

I can tell where I can get that last .1%....i'm still missing some area between the great northern wall mission and piken square...any tips for completing that spot (the part where the charr try cutting you off, you can go onto their path)..i tried going on that path but i cant defog the entire area..

There's supposed to be a fair chunk of map there. At 99.9% you would have most of it. You have probably read this but here's what the bible says:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Grandma...tography_guide


Quote:
Additional Notes

The players will be in Fort Ranik at the completion of this mission.

Players looking for a cartographer title can uncover large areas of the map by heading towards the source of charr instead of running from them. When entering the mission with 95.5% mapped, and mapping the two sections (north and south), I left the mission with 95.9% mapped, a 0.4% gain. One area is mentioned below in the glitch section (south). The other area (north) is also reachable only after the cut scene. Players should follow the mission path after the cut scene until they see a group of charr running up towards them from the right. Players can make a right turn onto this path which will lead them through an alternate path to reach the captain and uncover a large southwestern area of the map at the same time. To explore this path without triggering the cut scene see below.

I compared my map to a 100% map and this map:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Secretspot.jpg

I definietly am missing a huge chunk from there. It's fully fogged up for me, yet crystal clear on that map.

I just did the northern wall, here's the plan. Follow the mission as normal up to the cutscene. Continue on the path back to the outpost as usual until you reach the bridge. Before going over it there's a narrow path to the west. The path takes you right to that spot. Should get you GMC hopefully.

That's a picture of what I currently have around the area..the red line is what seems to be a border/dead end when I take the west path from the bridge...I can't get that other part >< any ideas?

Edit: Here is a picture of a 100% map with a part I seem to be missing:

Hopefully many more to come.

well, there we go!



Just posting because I wanted to drop some additional "thank you" notes to this thread in general; the informations about hidden locations and the method of using difference maps sure helped me a lot: and it was some good fun to explore, make new maps.. and explore even further.
I still have some spots open, but my counter is at 100% so I will take it smooth from now.
May Dwayna bless you on your travels & GL for all the future explorers that will post in here...

Maybe someone is interested to have a 1600x1200 reference map (no arenas).
There is still a little fog around the fire gate in Hell's, and you might be able to get like 0.05 from the beach in the south of the mission. >_<

you can get to Rurik's path, but only by getting one of his guards killed at the beggining - or being lucky and having a wolf show up at the top of the bridge where dryers reside. Tranversal/Rebirth will not get you to the top of a bridge if youre underneeth.

you cant get the guards killed anymorenly will golem will attack them (and its not enough), while the other one will not get pass the bridge to aggro the guards, even if u try to pull it. btw, im pretty sure conusme corpse wouldnt work either: in gvg isnt possible anymore, so it is in pve. ive read about a guy who complains that u cant use the cc exploit to explore dunes of despair..

for the story of the wolf: i should just run and see if there's a snow wolf ON the bridge? then kill him and use cc? anyway, i think it wouldn't work..

I am wondering if anyone can give me a comparison on my maps. Any help would be great. I am currently at 96.4%.

Here's a comparison for ya. The red circled areas...blah, blah, blah. Ya'll know the routine.

*NOTE*
Due to the possibility that NT no longer works for "Rurik's Path" in Frost Gate, areas in this mission that are only accessible from that path are NOT circled.

Ficus
The area in Riverside is questionable. I'm not sure if it's actually covered or if it appears that way due to data loss.

Unless they changed something REALLY recently, I did the NT trick only a couple of days ago curtesy of an unlucky Snow Wolf, admitted I had to do it through a door, and not from the bridge in the cave.

Onto to my mapping problems, comparing my map to TC Fish's and others, I should have 100.0% already but for some reason I'm on 99.5%, I have more areas uncovered and yet I'm still 0.5% short.. I've done a differnence map, it shows a spot SW of Droks which I have uncovered that is not on your 100% map, and a spot just outside of Ice Caves which I've also uncovered that isn't on your 100% map.

I got 0.2% when LA was Amnoon Oasis so that covers that difference that appears @ LA.

2 places I do know of, SW DoD, Bonus Area (again, I died getting into the fort, so it looks like I didn't get it all). And 2 spots in Hells Precipice.. But I know they won't add up to 0.5%.. This one is now beginning to stump me.

I used an ice golem to kill ruriks guard today btw but I have an area in the very east corner of frost gate that I can't get into. Is it possible to use assassin skill eg. Recall to Shadow Step to Rurik or his guards?

I wasted an hour today trying to get the 2nd golem to stay on the bridge so he would attack that ascalon soldier...

anyhow: I am not Wobrak and probably missing some edges, but there you go Anon - should yield around .3/.4 maybe even .5: Hell's is a good chunk (both beaches) and you have another nice chunk sitting in Dunes. Also, check the circle next to Henge and take a look at the little nudges in Divinity Coast... maybe it was just my eye but I think my map differs there.

I have gotten to 99.8% now. Can't seem to find the last 0.2%. You care to help me a bit again (as I have already posted here before

Here is a screen of my updated map.


Got 99.9%. One tiny little piece left.. Meh
