Whoa, thx Dynamite, thats a lot more than I hoped for, time to do it again, with heroes and flagging it should be easier now.

is 100% possible without ANY arenas at all? this includes not only the old ones that were closed but also the two with level requirements on them, the shiverpeak and ascalon arenas. Of course I cannot enter these now that I am level 20... so am I just stuck?

and I would post my map for help, but I'm stuck with a widescreen monitor >_<

I've done a quick compare and marked the spots for you.

Helcaraxe,

It's very possible to get 100% without the arenas.
There is about 1% leeway on the map.
For more details about possibility: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10097154
Getting into and scraping the arena outpost is possible with a lvl20 character, you might want to do that.

If you have a 1600x1200 screen, I might be able to adjust the picture a little so it will fit a 1280x1024. But it's impossible to do a 100% compare.
Should not be a real problem, most spots will be visible.

Also, check places that are missed often on the last pages.
It's very possible you have also missed them, saving both you (waiting) and me (comparing) time

It might be easier to explore the point above Ice Caves.
The point is about .2%, which is about 1/5 of the amount of leeway you have.

If you clean out the rest of the map you should not have to do that.
But I've noticed you missed some other hard to get parts.
My advice:
First stop is Riverside Province mission outpost, Amoon Oasys and Port Sledge (easy to get).
Clean Ascalon and North Shiverpeaks.
After that, move from Temple Of Ages westwards, don't explore Kessex Peak.
If you still need some more, the spot in Riverside Province mission is not hard to get (you can avoid all towers).

I hope this gets you to 100%, else you have some hard parts to go (Ice Floe, The Falls, Dry Top).

Hello!

I am stuck at 99.9%, after using the tips that have been given to me by Jos. After a few hours of piddling around trying to get that measley .01%, I thought I would again ask for some assistance.

This time, I managed to get a tumbnail for easier perusal. Your time and attention is very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

<a href="http://img47.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gw003sv2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/1702/gw003sv2.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>

For some reason the html is off, so just in case I am also updating my attachment. The attachment is my most current map.

Thanks again!

Ok, Im at 99.8% now, and the tiny bits are really irritating me. Just wondering if someone could have a look to see if I have missed anything obvious. Thank you, I would look at this myself but exams are hurting my brain enough :/

EDIT: Jos/Hades I realise I could have just given this to you but you wernt online :P Figured you might pick it up this way anyway.

Michel,

You know I want 1024x768 or 1280x1024 maps. You managed to give me a 1280x1076 map.
Thanks for the challenge.

Areas:
North Kryta beach (west side)
East side of D'Alessio mission (I think you can hit the spot from the boats in Lion's Arch).
Also the far south-west side of the mission (in the water)
Riverside province, kill last (east) tower and walk to the water/pier
Tasca's Demise south-east corner
Spot between Ice Caves and Drok's (hit it in north-east corner inside Drok's, I think).
Elona Reach south site (just below the point where you enter).
Did you get a run through that mission? It seems covered.
Thirsty River, south-west corner (inside Ranger boss' building).
I think you have missed some spots in Lornar's, but I'd like to explore that region with you to get a better map on my mesmer.
When I'm online and you want to explore, contact me.
I have some spare time now I have GMC Elona.

zentoji,
North-west corner of Eastern Frontier is not clear.
You can get the top of the bit in south-west spot in Great Northern Wall mission (see wiki for exploration tips)
South wall Diessa Lowlands (from Breach entrance)
Also a spot on the west wall (below the Ascalon Foothills entrance)
East upper wall Nolani mission.
Watchtower Coast, the wall above Beetletun and the west part of the beach.
Twin Serpent lakes, far north-west corner (I think there is a statue there).
Black Curtain, south-east corner (walk past the Kessex Peak entrance, more to the east).
Gates of Kryta mission, get in the area behind Oink, hit the north-east corner
East wall Iron mines mission
South wall Thunderhead Keep
Spot on the wall above Heroes' Audience.
Thirsty River, south-west corner (inside Ranger boss' building).
Outside Amoon Oasys is a collector on the rocks (near first portal). You have not been up there.

Daphene,
Ruins mission, the river can be explored more to the east.
Anvil Rock, north-west corner above Ice Tooth Cave
South wall from Beacon's to Griffon's
North wall Nebo Terrace
Divinity coast far north-west corner (hug the wall in the swamp), also explore behind the bonus-reward person (east side)
Aurora Glade bonus area (far east wall)
Beach Tears of the Fallen
Sanctum Cay mission, far east side (run past the end-point, without triggering and move east).
Snake's Dance south-west corner (just outside Camp).
Talus Chute, north wall.
Grenth's Footprint, north-east corner
Iron Mines mission, east wall
Thunderhead, south wall. Also lower part east wall
Frozen Forrest, south-east on the moutains between FF and Ice Caves mission.
The Scar, west wall.

Lavitz,
Can you please submit your 99.9% map?
This makes it easier for me to compare.

jjmoohead,
Compare your map to this one (1024x768):
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3271

Just put both pictures in an empty windows folder and use the windows viewer (when you use XP) to switch between them.
It's easy to see the differences that way.
The 1280x1024 version can be found at: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3269

Tannim,
I can do that.
But, you can better make a screenshot with Shift + Print Screen and use that one.
The outposts sometimes hide valuable information.

Hiya fellas, im in need, please assist me.

im at 99.3% any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Its nuts, i see some guys with whole areas like the behind the gate dunes sections and ALL of Hells.P not explored walking round with 100%, when i compare their maps to mine, cant help thinking there might be different rules for everyone ;-)

lol, maybe if you picked Hair colour #4 and body type#12 with face type#7 it takes an extra amount of scrapping ;-)..who knows why these hidden factors have been implemented that let some people miss whole areas and get the title, and make some people need every single bit ;-).

Anyway, thx for any help offered .

Juk3n,

About the Dunes and Hells.
Look in the "Tyrian Master Cartographer still possible?" thread (post 35 and 39). The same for my map postings on page 164 (link in #3376) of this thread.
That is the leeway in this mission.

If you want to compare, stick to my maps mentioned in #3376.
The maps are 100%, with most 'remaining fog' squeezed in one area.
It's easier to compare to such a map as to a map with little spots all over the place.

For the spots you missed:
Top of Thunderhead Keep, also the south wall near the entrance point.
Point above Ice Caves mission
Top north wall Talus Chute (near entrance to Icedome)
North East wall of Icedome (could also be in Frozen Forrest)
Also south wall of Ice dome
Frozen Forrest south wall.
You missed the south-west area of The Great Northern Wall mission, check wiki on exploration tips.
Top and west wall of Deldrimor Bowl are not clean
The wall above Beetletun (west exit)
Spot west of D'Allesio Seaboard outpost exit (outside)
Top area Kessex Peak (west from the entrance)
Riverside Province: south-west corner (at 'bonus area', walk behind the obstacles) Also south wall, north wall and behind last tower (east side, walk to the water and up the pier)
Aurora Glade outpost, area behind merchant
You have missed the upper west wall in Dunes Bonus area
Anvil Rock, west wall near entrance to Deldrimor Bowl. Also a spot above the outpost.
Regent Valley, the 'tar lake' near entrance to Old Ascalon is not clear.
Old Ascalon, same lake is not clear.

This should get you going for a while.

I am at 99.8%. After looking at several maps, there is a section on the Northeast part of Henge of Denravi that I can't get to, as there is a path to go there but is blocked by vines. I was wondering if that area is only reacheable with the Defend Denravi (Titan) Quest. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Lavitz,

I'm going to try to give you some easy to reach spots.
I think you missed a spot inside Bloodstone mission outpost (on the west wall).
Inside Lion's Arch, did you step on both boats and piers when you were there (it looks like the rock near D'Alessio is not fully uncovered, but could be cloud on my map).
Spearhead Peak east wall (I think you can hit the lowest spot from inside Copperhammer Mines).
I think you might want to hit the west wall of Tombs of Primeval Kings outpost.
Mamnoon Lagoon, south wall.
A small spot near the Vulture Drifts entrance in Arid Sea.
South-east corner of Reed Bog.
There seems to be a spot between Grent's Footprint and Snake's Dance.

zentoji,
Very good. Good Luck with Elona.

King Miraz,
Eastern frontier, spot on 'the wall'
The Great Northern Wall south-west corner, look at wiki article for exploration tips
Diessa Lowlands, south wall
Anvil Rock west wall and spot on north wall
Deldrimor Bowl, south wall and spot on center rock formation
South wall of Griffon's
Gates of Kryta, walk behind Oink, the upper east wall in the 'undead' area.
Kryta Province, the rockformation west of D'Allesio entrance.
D'Allesio mission, beach and west wall (delivery of bonus area)
Kessex Peak east wall
Mamnoon Lagoon, south wall.
Bloodstone mission, area behind last boss
Tangle Root, south wall west of outpost, East wall
Grent's Footprint, south- and north-east corners
Spearhead Peak, the spot on the wall is too dence. Also south wall
Point above Ice Caves mission outpost
Iron Mines west wall
Thunderhead Keep east wall (between the Tengu area and the final fort)
Area south of Augury Rock (north exit, walk around Augury)
Dunes bonus area, south wall halfway and in the west fort (you can enter that one)

Does anyone have a link or can direct me in this topic to a place that has a tutorial for Paint Shop Pro and the layering of the maps trick. I found one for Photoshop, and I know I have seen a PSP tutorial in the past, but I can't find it for the life of me now. Can someone please help me, with this or take my map i summited on the previous page and do it for me. I appreciate the help on switching maps back and forth and it helped a bit, but I would really appreciate anything else you could do for me.

I'm stuck at 99.6 (so close yet so far away). If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction for my last .4 i'd appreciate it. I've mapped all towns (in fact i just finished that before i posted this) so its gotta be in the explorable/mission areas. Thanks in advance.

Compare your map to this one: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3271

or http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3269 for a 1280x1024 map

jjmoohead,

I think it's just using your picture, put an other as layer on the picture, use blend modes (difference) to compare.
I use gimp, but just hide/unhide one layer to see the difference.

Rufus,
It will be hard to compare, since your map has an odd size.
Things I see:
- West top side Thunderhead Keep
- Point above Ice Caves of Sorrows outpost
- Port Sledge west side (in outpost)
- Possible spot between Droknar's and Ice Caves outpost (explore in north-east droknar's outpost)
- Possible The Scar west wall (could be clouds)
- Borlis Pass mission, north and west wall
- South-west point of The Fall
- South west corner of Dark Curtain (above Kessex peak, near the water)

If you need more, please submit 1024x768 or 1280x1024 map.

Kittani,

Borliss Pass west wall (perhaps you can hit it from Frost Gate outpost)
Dunes bonus area (west wall)
Talus Chute north wall (near Icedome entrance). also a spot a little south of that. Also the point above Ice Caves outpost.
Regent Valley, north near entrance to Old Ascalon
Center rock formation in Deldrimor Bowl, north. ALso the south wall.
The lighthouse in Lion's Arch.
West side of Henge of Denravi ( I think where the collectors are)
North side of Riverside Mission (near the place were you get the scepter)
Thirsty River south-west corner (enter ranger boss building)
South wall of Thunderhead Keep mission
East wall Iron Mines mission

This should get you to 100%. There is more, but harder to reach.

Does anyone have a complete 1280 x 800 map. I play on a laptop and I'm having a hard time finding one. I tried reducing the game's resolution to a more common size and the game screen changed resolution and then went black. Then it went back to the 1280 x 800 resolution. X_X

Daphene,

I think clearing the center rock formation (both upper and lower part) in Deldrimor Bowl should get you to 100%.
If not, the area with undead in Gates of Kryta (behind Oink) can be cleared somewhat better.
Also, the east wall of Iron Mines mission is not clear.
Aurora Glade bonus area is also not clean.

I can't see anymore, at work atm (having a break) and the sunlight on my monitor is bad.

If I have some time tonight I'll look at the other two maps.
But I also want to finish my Canthan GMC (98.5 atm) , so it might take a couple of days.
