Frogtree: If you don't mind me taking a shot I've marked some areas in and around the shiverpeaks. You've got some fairly easy spots in the northern shiverpeaks. I think the spot I marked in Mineral Springs might just be cloud cover but it is a possible spot. Let me know if this helps, as I'm just trying to give back to the community.
Alana: If you don't mind, I did the shiverpeaks area for you also.
Equites: You have more in that area around the arena than I do - and I have 100% - so my guess is that you are good.

I'm at near on 97% but with a nasty scattergun of bits all over. One or two I've spotted (Talus Chute, Dunes of Despair) but no way all the last 3%. Any assistance therefore greatly received.

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

If you clear the Shiverpeaks the same way you did Old Ascalon (note NO red circles), you probably won't need to revisit the Wilds.

Thanks for the help. I will make the runs I need over the next couple of days and see what I get. I hope this gets me the 0.9% but if not I will resubmit. Thanks again for taking the time.

Ok, folks... positively stumped here.
Have re-examined the areas that have been pointed out to me and even found a couple more that I'd missed... I can now thankfully say that I've reached the 99.6 mark... YAY!!
However, am stuck trying to find the last .4... could a kind soul or 2 analyse this for me and see what I'm missing?
Thnx in advance, your continued support of the GW Community is greatly appreciated (including by me
)

PS, if required, can post some zoomed-in MiniMap (U) pics of any requested area, if necessary

Hey there...
Without bebefit of decent comparison software (plus the fact that I can't get that high a resolution
), there a couple of bits I can see that you need to focus on.
Firstly, and don't worry... most people miss this... is Dunes of Despair. The southwest corner and along the southern edge can be explored quite a bit (you need to use the Necrotic Traversal trick in order to get across, as doing themisson normally, will not realy provide you with enough time to map b4 the Ghostly Hero bites the proverbial dust - again
) - also note that while mapping that area, one of the Forts appears to have its bridge raised, denying access... this is actually false. Just walk across the open air a la Indiana Jones to map that part.
Secondly, is the Mountain Trick in Talus Chute, which enables you to explore a fair section of the eastern-most edge of the area (there may be cloud obscuring that area, so feel free to ignore this one, if you've already done it)
Lastly, as near as these tired eyes can tell, is the southern edge along Regent Valley... seems its not quite as tight there as can be - tale another look
While it won't get you to 100% (if only it were that easy ), it should get you somewhat closer. Anyway, that's all that I can see, but then, I'm old
Hope that helps you out some... tc and good hunting

Luciora
Dynamite - Can you drop your resolution to 1280x1024 please?
It is possible to get the title without using the little tricks but that would require you to have visited ALL the arenas before they were closed. This is rather doubtful so I'd advise to go and get the necro skill for those spots.
Great Northern Wall - Can be done without the Necro trick, but it would require you to have running skills and it might take you a few tries to get all uncovered.
Frost Gate - There is no other KNOWN way to get onto Rurik's path.
Dunes of Despair - Get a good group, running and prot skills and you should be able to get this whole area cleared. However it may take more than one try.
Moritsa - I'll check your map later this afternoon when I get home

As Luciora said it is possible to get 100% without using any tricks, but it is harder. Really the only hard part would be clearing Dunes of Despair. You would need a team totally dedicated to helping you and it would probably take more than one try. My elementalist received 100% without exploring Rurik's Path or the area behind the Demagogue in "Aurora Glade". Also none of my characters have every visited the now closed arenas.
As for the area Moritsa mentioned in Talus Chute right outside of Ice Caves, see attached screenshot.
Exit Ice Caves
Go across bridge - Ice Imps
Into valley - Ice Golems
Hang a right at first bend go to dead end, climb up
As you explore you will see the edge of the world.

It'd need to be a VERY good group to pull this off without using necrotic/rebirth.

Thank you so much, Luciora, your endeavors will be greatly appreciated

Heya Zex, thnx for the compliment, though I think itLuciora you need to be asking
Anyways, this is what I can see with a quick visual scan :-  I think you should revisit Elona Reach and map around the Salt Flats area (looks quite foggy there, though might be dense cloud cover) The ring around the southern portion of Riverside Province Mission is also a little dodgy, still appears foggy there to my eyes. For the Borlis Pass Mission, as soon as you enter, basically hang a right and scrape that northern edge to clear much of the fog there. Tips for scraping the eastern edge of Talus Chute (End of the World trick) can been seen by Wobrak's most excellent pic just a few posts further up this page (post #3052 on page 153) The ring in Lornar's Pass can be a little tricky... there's a cul de sac just by there that allows you to clear a little, if not all of that blue spot on the mountains. Also the 1 around SF can be irksome to navigate, often taking several attempts to get it clear. A revisit to Icedome and/or Spearhead Peak should clear a little of the fog around there. The Dunes Mission could do with a once-over as well... that line can be extended a little. Also consider taking a trip through the Ruins of Surmia Mission again. As you approach the end of the mission, where that Monument to Surmia is located, if you continue to your left (towards the tar lake, you should be able to get across to a small bit on the other side. Hopefully, that should edge you somewhat closer to GMC, then do a repost of your updated map, and am sure Luciora and/or Wobrak will be happy to analyse it for you to pick out the last niggly details tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie

this one is 1280x800: Welcome to the world of the 99%ers Make sure you are playing in fullscreen, as in not in windowed mode. Press F11 on your keyboard to bring up the Options window, click on the tab marked Graphics. There's a dropdown menu where the resolution of the game is displayed, click on that, then you can select 1280x1024 resolution. Finally, click "Keep" on the window that pops up to save your changes. As a side note, it also helps if your normal resolution matches that of the game... to do do, click on Control Panel, then Display... select the Settings tab (on the far right) and use the scroll bar to set the resolution to max - usually 1280x1024. Click on Ok or Apply to render the changes, then click Yes on the popup window to accept them. If your monitor is unable to display 1280x1024, change it to 1024x768... either resolution is ok for the purposes of analysis Hope that helps tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie Wobrak

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

Remember, your game must be in Full Screen Mode not Window Mode.

Here's a comparison for ya. The red circled areas require further exploration. Stewie32 Either you or Photobucket resized your screenshot. Please retake using the information from here then repost. Things to remember for all: 1. When taking a screenshot hold Shift+Print Screen to remove town/outpost pins from map 2. Ensure game is in Full Screen mode before taking screenshot. 3. After posting double check your link/thumbnail/attachment. If it doesn't work or come up with the correct resolution it's not going magically work for us.

Screenshots from Guildwars are automatically saved in .jpg format (well, they are in mine )To save them in this format, open the image in an Image Programme (eg, Paint, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, etc), go to File, select Save As... there should be a dropdown menu where the current format is displayed... click that and select .jpg from the available options. tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie

ty so much guys from the bottom of my nerdy heart http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...ie32/gw047.jpg Ok, here goes  There not too much that I can see with the naked eye, but a couple of spots are winking at me SW Corner of Dunes Mission needs redoing, use the Necrotic Traversal trick to get across. The bit between Icedome and Spearhead Peak can also be scraped further. Though not too sure about this one, the corner of Snake Dance and Sorrow's Furnace looks a little twitchy, a revisit there could yield a bit. That's all I can see, hope that helps. As a side-note... when you use Printscreeen to save your GW Map Images, press and hold the Shift key as you do so - this will remove the town/outpost pin markers, which will make analysing the map a little easier. tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie

I suggest using Imageshack as a way to upload your images... it has a smaller upload space in the free version, but you can at least make sure that your images are not squashed When you have uploaded your image to Imageshack, use the IMG text given (the second one down, I think) for Thumbnails and put that in your post... that should create a nice thumbnail link tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie

Thank you for the map Wobrak. I was aware of a handful of the spots, so even though your circles showed me quite a few new spots, a the big question for most of them is not where they are but, how to uncover them. This is what I hate about exploring in Tyria. So many places where you have to stand at an excact pixel for 4.5 seconds while doing the /dance emote in order to uncover. Elona and Cantha has few of those spots, and the ones they do have are by far not required for 100%.
The spots in question are the circles at: -The one at the SE Frost Gate. You do realise it is no longer possible to get on Rurik's Path, right? -North and south, middle of Ice Caves -North mid in Mineral Springs -Part in The Falls -SW in Thirsty River -Tar Lake between Fort Ranik and Ascalon Arena. Has it ever been possible to even explore that? Also, sorry to disappoint you, but you misjudged a few clouds for unexplored areas:P Wish they would just remove the effect _Zexion

I do appreciate that it has become more difficult to do so, especially without necromancer skills. My advice? Bring along a guild friend or other who is a primary necro, have them keep a few Bone Fiends alive and then sacrifice themselves. Making sure that other party members are well outside the aggro of the fiends, when they go hostile, they'll target Rurik and his guards. Once dead, resurrect the necro, can kill any remaining Fiends, then have the necro use necrotic traversal to jump onto the path... all that remains then is for other party members to die, eg, equip vampiric weapons, and have the necro cast Rebirth to bring you all over. This is done at the first Siege point, btw and, since its so near the beginning, the mission itself will remain unaffected by Rurik's death, allowing you to explore at your leisure tc and happy hunting ~ Mortie |
