Kidkid & Alexander Castle - Please retake your screenshots while holding down "shift" to remove the text and pins from the map. It makes it rather difficult having them there.

Petra, having issues uploading your image. Will try again a little later.

Thanks so much Wobrak
I achieved 100% this afternoon.
I have used this thread extensively so thanks to everyone who posted, all the tips were useful and the kindness of those doing the map comparisons kept me motivated.

Right, this topic has been of great help to me earlier, but right now I'm just stuck at 98.5%, sort of.

I know I have a bit left in the Ring of Fire mission and I'll definitely get that eventually, once I'll do the mission again with someone from the Guild or something.

The biggest patch of uncovered map is probably at the end of the Frost Gate mission, but I have wallhugged there for dozens of minutes with little to no luck at all, I just can't get it uncovered.

But despite these pieces (and a few spots in the southern shiverpeaks) I can't believe that they'll actually add up to 1.5%

I'd appreciate it if anyone could do a comparison and find some spots that the map I was comparing with didn't have, or perhaps just something I blatantly missed

I'de appreciate any help finding the spots I've missed
currently at 95.5% and still finding easy places I've overlooked
(even got some of those old arenas )

edit: adding the map might help >_<

I'm only at about 95.1% left but I was kinda wanting to get the tough part over with first, all the small areas. If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd love to figure out where those are.

Sorry I don't do Canthan map comparisons. But if I did I would probably charge a price also. IMHO, Canthan GMC was the biggest pain to get out of all three campaigns. The reason is because you can't do a simple difference or color burn comparison to find what you are missing. You have to use a high resolution map and compare it to your "U" map while in-game. Livingston gives a detailed instructions and the links you will need to achieve Canthan GMC.

i havent seen any posts saying this tech i use, i write down all the names of the exploreable areas and missions, but them in to groups eg gate of kryta will have a heading kryta. then u go back and scrape the sides then once uve done that to all the sides u cross them off with a highlighter, i find this way works well for me, makes sure i dont explore the same area twice

We do whole map comparisons here not partial. Take a screenshot of your whole Tyrian map (use "M" instead of "U"). Don't forget to use one of the resolutions from the OP and "Shift+Print Screen" to remove the pins.

You obviously won't need everything but you do have your choices. IMHO, I would start with THK.

Hello, could I get some assistance with my exploration title? I'm currently at 99.5% and rather frustrated.

Edit: Thanks for the speedy reply Wobrak, will get right on THK.

Edit#2: Thanks for your help Wobrak, 100%, right here!

So please, if your could help? if i have some spare time ill find the places your missing.

the way i got to 100% is to the difference map thing but instead of selecting difference in photoshop click normal.

then with your map on top click and un-click the eye next to your layer.

this will easily show you where your going wrong!

Wobrak,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I got GMC today with your help, I still had some uncovered bits left from your comparison map, but I never couldn't have gotten that last .4% without you.

May you receive large amounts of karma for the good work you do here.

Please refer to this post,
click me, for preferred map sizes.
I also suggest you recheck your maps after you upload them to ImageShack as they may get resized.
