Been at 95.0% Of Tyria for months now. I had posted on here before but I guess I had the wrong resolution. Hopefully this one will work out for you.
Thanks in advance.

@ Gantorith

Looking at your map, there's a few obvious spots you're missing.

Firstly, the SW corner can be revealed a lot more (you can find out how to get there on other posts within this thread)

Secondly, I suggest redoing the Borlis Pass mission and hugging the northern edge, ther's quite a bit that can be gotten there.

In the Ruins of Surmia mission, where the Monument to Surmia is, if you continue to head northwards towards the Tar Pit, there looks to be a little more you can explore there.

You also need to redo the Aurora Glade mission, and explore the path that leads to the Demagogue Bonus, there's a fair bit that can be defogged there.

Lastly, I would suggest you explore Perdition Rock - it looks like it completely fogged over.

That should get you to around 99%

@ Techno

There's a few spots on your map that I can see that could do with revisiting.

SW corner of Dunes Mission (this is a common one that many miss)

The Frost Gate mission also needs redoing. Much of the trixcks employed to get to the path that Rurik and the guards take have been nerfed in recent times, but it is still possible to get over there.

Also it looks like Perdition Rock needs some exploration.

Lastly, though not too sure, I think you can scrape a bit more out of the Borlis Pass mission, there seems to be a bit more you can scrape of that northern edge.

Hope that is of some help

Heya Jabba... nice 1 on getting to 99.6... I'm tearing my hair out at 99.2, lol

Looks like you missing the SW edge of Dunes some, and though not sure, I think the eastern edge of the Frost Gate mission might get you a bit more.

That's about all I can see with these tired, old eyes, and I'm pap at comparisons, lol

Hope that turns out some use for you, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for another GM to join the ranks

Jabba,
The gate to the SW fort never goes down, but you can walk through the air into the fort where the gate should be. The air path is somewhat narrow and you have to hit it right. I found instead of trying to move sideways at the edge to find it that I needed to move back and then forward trying a different spot until I found it.

Getting there in time can be a pain. Check out wiki's info to find decent solutions: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Dunes_of_Despair IF you can get the proper scarab spawn the Necrotic Traversal trick (approach 3) is the best. I've found that the bosses never spawn near enough to the center fort anymore to be able to pull them and kill from the inside back ledge of the fort.

Hey Mortisa,

I think you're missing the lower left corner of Bloodstone Fen and also in Snake Dance, hug the walls on the left side to clear a bit that is right above SF. My 100% map is attached below so that you can compare it with yours. I do not have any of the arenas so this should be pretty complete. Also, I can't tell by your map, but you might want to try hugging the walls, going along all the crevices at Diessa Lowlands. That was where I found my last .1 percent.

Frazzy,

Unfortunately, it looks like you've got the Shiverpeaks Blues If you compare your maps with mine (2 posts above), you'll see there's a lot of little areas along the walls that you are missing in both northern and southern Shiverpeaks. It also looks like you'll have to redo The Frost Gate mission using the Necrotic Traversal to jump to the path that Prince Ruric takes and clear that as well.

You already know you need Dunes. You should go explore the town of Amnoon Oasis as well, northern part of the town to be exact :-)

HTH...

Equites - You got it all there Now you need to do the char bit, I'd try the necrotic traversal trick (not sure if it still works though) otherwise you need to pack running skills. 2mins is not a lot

Alana - Perfect! Will post it tomorrow.

Luciora, thanks for the effort. i have already cleared some of the areas you circled on my map. So many more..... (sigh). I will start working on them ASAP. I guess Dunes of Despair and Frost Gate will be quite hard. I can't use Necrotic Traversal being W/Mo and i don't even know if it is still possible to get on Rurik's path using this skill. Anyway i'll try. Thanks once again

d_fens Yes, necrotic traversal does work on the frost gate, I did that one last night with a buddy. Run along and look for a snow wolf down there, hit it with a bow and have a hero necro or ele take it out, then pop down there and grab a few of those elusive .1%'s.

Luciora the char bit? I think you're referring to the Great wall mission and how you run up to where the char spawn in their big camps and then that second area they spawn near the 2nd bridge you run over.

Now at 98.3% from 96.5 ish from the other day...those comparisons help so much and I haven't even come close to doing all the circled areas, Thanks again!

Equites: Yes the Necrotic traversal still works on Dunes mission and Frost Gate but you might have to go back a few times on Dunes mission to get a corpse close enough. That being said, on the fort on the right side you can also go on the "invisible bridge" to get a bit more.

I have only Prophecies campaign I'll try to find some helpful necromancer or maybe visit the profession changer to temporarily change my 'Mo' into 'N'... at least for Frost Gate. Running alone in Dunes can be hazardous with all those scarabs, yugh

thanks for information
