Thanks You're edges all over the map are pretty scattered. You're doing pretty much the same thing I am... you have to go over almost every area again, but with a fine tooth comb. Especially in the desert. Need to take it slowly and try to get every nook and cranny.
Here's the map with some areas for you to check out:

Question about The Frost Gate. Can you get on Rurik's path?, because most of the area I am missing from there seems to be along his path...

When I got Tyrian GMC for a Elementalist I didn't bother with Rurik's Path. I suggest you concentrate on the areas identified by Dynamite to include the area between Beacon's and Northern Wall. Click on the link to see the path to run and how it looks uncovered.
Dynamite
Use the "Difference Method" instead of "Color Burn" and the area I mentioned above will show up as being covered.

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

Congratulations Stewie, happy you made it 
... hope I was able to help in some small way 
@ Mourne
To my eyes, other than the area ringed by Dynamite, you're pretty much clear in Frost Gate.
In answer to your questionm though... If you read my post #3079 on page 154, it more or less details how to get there.
Hope that helps
tc and happy hunting

Use the "Difference Method" instead of "Color Burn" and the area I mentioned above will show up as being covered. I actually use difference. I've found it difficult to view the ascalon area. Just a learning process I guess.

Currently stuck at 90.7. I know a few places I need to clear up, but I can't see how to get another 8.3% out of the little areas I missed. I'm having a major problem exploring all of the Dunes of Despair bonus area 
Any tips?
Also my character happens to have the Yaks arena unlocked... how much leeway will that give me, do you think? She doesn't have the actual battle arena totally cleared, but could that possibly be another .1 or .2% there?

Thanks to the 3 people that replied ^_^. I will now try to finish it up.
@Wobrak, do you mean I still have some there that is missing? because I have already been through that path once, might have missed a smudge here or there though.

Hello, sitting at 99.6, if someone could take a look, that would be great. Been going nuts looking for the last .4%! Thanks in advance.

I'm at 98.6% and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough too help me
the_jos
I have a question about the upper north east part of the Sanctum Cay mission.
I got to the end of the mission, ran east past the Vizier and at the end up to the tiny beach with a truckload of mantle.
I've noticed that there is a part of the water right above this (from the beach up northeast, above the boat) that can be 'uncovered' but I have not found a way to do that.
I just can't get past the boat there and was not able to reach the area from anywere else.
It's the only area I can't figure out how to get, the rest of the areas are just hard to get (and not necessairy, since I've reached 100%).
But this one kept me puzzled for quite some time.
Does anyone know how I can uncover this area?

Hey, was wondering if anybody wouldn't mind taking a look at my map. I seem to be stuck at 97.5% and having problems finding where i need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

First off, try to finish up the places that you know of and see where that leads you. Then post a screenshot and we can help you from there.
For Dunes of Despair, just set goals and do the mission multiple times.
The arena will also not net you that much. Just clear up what you can and see where you stand.
Frazzy
All your edges aren't as tight as they could be. It was also difficult to compare because of the widescreen. The places I circled were obvious, but there are probably more.
Outt For Blood
Check out my post above for a link to the end of the world mountains. Many people miss those. I've also circled some other places you may want to check out.
ahlnbep
You need to take more time when exploring the edges. I didn't even circle everything that you could clean up. Remember to try to find every nook and cranny.
the_jos
Could you take a screenshot of the area you are talking about? I could look into it better then.

YAY!!
Finally achieved this sometimes frustrating Title
A big THANK YOU to all those who have contributed to this Thread over these many months... in particular, I'd like to thank Dougal Kronik, Leighwyn, Luciora, TC Fish & Wobrak (among so many others), you have earned my undying gratitude
To anyone else seeking GMC, listen to these wonderful people... their help has been of inestimable value and continues to be so - follow as they lead, they won't steer you wrong.
Here is a link to my completed map... may it prove useful toany that require it:-
Now to go bug the people in the Canthan and Elonan Threads
*EDIT*
Sorry for the size of the original picture
Have since changed it to a thumbnail link
tc and happy hunting

Grats GWMortisa, I actually pm'ed you earlier looking for help and you were at 99.8.
I'm stuck at 99.8 now..went over the areas circled for like 5 minutes at a time on my maps...and they are still not unlocking :/. Not sure what to do about those now.

Jabba,
Three area's that I can see by sight:
1. West of Beacons there is the path to Griffon's Mouth.
The south area of this path there is supposed to be black, your's is blurred (hug the wall, it's near the little house halfway the road)
2. Inside Drok's near the place you can get the Titan Quests.
You might want to hug the wall from the storage up to the point where you arrive after the Dragon's Lair mission.
Or just outside near the troll cave, it's the area in between.
3. Ice Caves of Sorrow.
Get inside Evinia's/Siandra's cell, you have missed a spot there.

Simon,
You are missing a large part in south Lornar's Pass (near the statue and the opposite side).
And a minor in the north.
I'd wait for a compare on that area.
Same for Mineral Springs (the bright spot up top) and the area east of that (the cave with the Ice imps)
You have missed the south east part of the Dunes of Despair mission.
You can enter the fort, the bridge seems up but that's an illusion.
The top area of Borlis Pass mission is too dense.
Check the first area I gave Jabba, probably the second.
Your resolution is not the same as mine, so can't do a full visual compare without staring too much.

I have yet to get any of my characters to clear that as shown in the second screen shot. But I haven't really tried since it didn't stop me from getting Tyrian GMC.

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

Your gamma setting should not have any effect on a comparison. I've been comparing maps since September and have never had a issue with someone's gamma setting effecting a comparison.
For the red circles, hmmm, I use the pencil tool.

Hey Chris-
You need to take it a lot slower around the edges of your map. You're missing a lot of areas just because you're not hugging the wall tight enough. Make sure you're facing them at a 45 degree angle so that if there are any openings to climb the edge you can. I don't know what % of your map is cleared, but you will take care of a ton by just going back over all the areas and slowly hugging the walls.
I didn't circle all the areas that you could check. Try hugging the walls all over and see where that puts you.

Hi! I'm at 97.8% and I'm not having much luck using the comparison method.
I'd be grateful if someone could take a look at my map and tell me what I'm missing. And if it's not too much trouble, post a 1280x1024 100% completed map. Thx!

I posted a map about a week ago and a nice person "Spidey" checked my map for me. He concentrated on teh shiverpeaks and pointed out some areas for me to check out. It took me form 99.1 to 99.4. If someone could check out my map again and offer some advise that would be great. thanks
