stiffler,

The islands were arenas and cannot be reached anymore.

Missing spots:
Talus Chute north wall, east wall (area above Ice Caves outpost)
Witman's, just east of Droknar's. Also west side, around Port Sledge
Iron Mines east wall
Frost Gate east wall
Anvil Rock west wall
Beach above Gates of Kryta outpost
Rock formation west of D'Alessio outpost entrance
Riverside outpost, west side
Riverside mission, South wall and North wall. Also kill last east tower and walk to water and on pier
Sanctum Cay, far east side (walk past the 'boat area' without triggering the Vizier and keep heading west).

For those who want to compare themselfs, I've added two new maps (1280x1024 and 1024x768) to this posting.

Spots I know are missing:
- Sanctum Cay east side, 2 spots
- Grent's Footprint near SF entrance
- Lornar's Pass, small spot on the east wall in a corner.
- The Wilds, end area (did not use the NT trick yet)

I think the rest is almost clean, I've cleaned the 100% map I posted on page 164.

Thanks to jos and Eastriver.

I went back and got the corner of Dunes, bits of Deldrimor, Frost Gate and turns out I was missing a lot there on the west wall of the Wilds.

But I did it!





Here is my 100% map as well. On to Cantha! (only 8% left there!)

Hello,

I'm so stuck. I'm sitting at 99.8% and can't for the life of me find what I'm missing. Could someone have a look at it for me?

Thanks!

Orual Fox,
Grats on your title.

Arya Littlefinger (and others),
I can't access attached files here at work, probably because of some firewall setting.
Not sure I will have internet access for the next few weeks in the evening (won't be at home during the week and want to do other things in the weekend).

I'd surgest you do a visual compare to my maps 4 postings earlier.
On a 1280x1024 map, differences should be visible.
When comparing, have my post at http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10160387 as a reference. This can help you determine where to look for 'trouble'.

I hope I can pick up comparing again in a few weeks.

Good luck,

Jos

Hi all. If anyone is free to analyse my map it would be greatly appreciated. I have it on my warrior but I'm struggling on the last part for my monk and he has already finished elona and cantha. Here is my map at 1024x768 at 98.9% cheers in advance.

Thanks to advice from this fine thread I went from 99.0% to 99.7%. However I am once again stumped.

I would be grateful for any tips to find that elusive final 0.3%

leechazoid,
I noticed you missed the north west corner of Mamnoon Lagoon.
Also, the necrotic traversal trick in Frost Gate mission should get you to 100%.

If this does not work out, please submit a map in at least 1024x768, since the 800x600 does not provide enough detail for me.

Archaic Nightmare,
Low south west corner Lornar's Pass
Talus Chute, north wall and east wall (below entrance to Icedome)
Spot between Droknar's and Ice Caves outpost (explore from Droks)
Evinia's cell in Ice Caves mission
Tar Lake in Ruins of Surmia (Mission)
South west corner in Great Northern Wall (could be that you have to explore this part from Piken)
Borlis Pass south west corner (possible explore from Frost Gate outpost)
West wall D'Alessio mission (near bonus area)
Riverside mission, west wall, south wall and water between Riverside and Santcum Cay mission.

Dr.thug1230,
Start hugging walls in:
Ruins mission
Nolani mission (east wall)
The Breach
Deldrimor Bowl
Gates mission
D'Alessio Mission
Spearhead Peak
Snake's Dance (west wall)
Iron Mines mission east wall
Thunderhead top area
Arid Sea above the west entrance

X of Thulcandra,
Iron Mines mission, west and east wall
Spot between Spearhead and Tasca's is to dence (explore from both areas)
Frost gate north west corner
Aurora Glade bonus area
Riverside mission, west wall, south wall, north wall (before you get the scepter)
Riverside outpost, west side
Thirsty River south wall
Tombs outpost
Great Northern Wall south west area

wyldemachu,
Start with Dunes bonus area
Frost Gate lower walls
Deldrimor Bowl south wall
Tombs outpost
Talus Chute area below Icedome entrance

Doh on the map size. Sorry.

Will check out the areas you suggest. Thanks again!


EDIT: Rightio I check the swamp and necorticly transversed Rurick's path to 99.8%.

New map (right size) follows for any more advice:

leechazoid,

I noticed there is a large chunck still covered in the north west of Thirsty River, could be that you have to explore that from The Scar.

On the north wall of Frozen Forrest, just outside Iron Mines outpost there is a spot.
And there is a spot in Talus Chute on the north wall, slightly to the Icedome entrance.

I think the beach west of Beetletun province is not entirely explored.
Hug the east rocks when going from Beetletun.
I also think the south wall of this area has a small spot.
The wall in the north west corner of Talmark Wilderness is too dence.
There is a small spot on the Riverside mission west wall (right were you enter)

Hope this gets you to 100%

I'd like to thank everyone in this thread and especially The_jos for all the tips on spots I missed, really helped me out the last 2% and I now have GMC :-) I even know some spots I'm still missing. For those still searching for the last little bits here's where I found them:

East wall of Iron Mines mission
Ice Imp cave in mineral springs (which I'm still missing but would have probebly gotten me another .1%)
Bits of the tar pit in old ascalon and the zone under
South wall of the area above the breach
Tar pit in runes of sumria mission
South Beach gates of kryta mission
Sanctum Kay mission scraping north wall and east wall at the end (netted around .3%)
The Scar west wall
The Frostgate mission with Necrotic Traversal trick and walking to the south end of the map w/o ending the mission
Exploring the upper side of thunderhead keep (outside the keep at the end) and the east wall
Ring of Fire mission east side (have to walk through a good bit of lava)
Hells Precipace scraping the edges (walk in the water as far as you can)

sagilltwins,

No, I did not intentionally skip your post.
It just slipped through, I guess, I did not even notice it.
I'm glad Jumping Is Uselss did the compare for you.

Also, not only for you, but also other explorers, I already stated in
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3443 that < 98% maps are not much priority to me.
Furtermore, I mentioned in
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3459 that I won't be very active comparing maps for the next couple of weeks.
I repeated that in
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=3486


I composed a thread with comparing help and frequently missed spots because of this at
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10160387 , since my experience is that most missing spots are the same.

For those in desperate need of the title, please use the service Jumping Is Uselss is
offering or use this post and compare yourself.

here is my map WATRAH,

Did a quick comparison with my 100%.
I'm not big on posting maps, so here is a text list of places I saw you need.

The Falls: South-Western-most corner
Aurora Glade location: North-West corner
The Wilds explorable area: North-East corner, across the lake
Sage Lands: South-Eastern-most corner
Talmark Wilderness - Tears of the Fallen border (can't tell which side offhand) - North-West of the large light blue lake, west edge of mappable area
Sanctum Cay mission area: North-End of Eastern edge (the area where the nasties that approach the pier from the north are waiting before they charge the pier)
D'Alessio Seaboard mission area: South-Western-most corner, overlooking or maybe down on the beach of the bay

Thirsty River mission area: South-Western-most corner, where the third group of three bands of nasties are hiding, the area to the south-west of the south-western most groups "building". (did I say south-west enough times here, lol)

Shiverpeak Arena: northwest corner. you may not be able to fight but you might try entering the lobby.

Pockmark Flats: South-East side, not really a corner to this area, but as close to where a south-east corner would be if there was one, then north a bit.
Deldrimor Bowl explorable area: 1/4 of the way down the west edge
Frost Gate mission area: South-Eastern-most corner
Lornar's Pass running path, half way down on east side, where there are a couple of tiny lakes. AND, the North-Eastern-most corner
Port Sledge location: South edge

I know, it would be MUCH easier to look at a map, but I have never had much luck posting maps and pictures.

Good Luck

princess_carina,

Talus Chute east wall (up to Icedome entrance) can be cleared.
This would probably get you to 100%.
Otherwise, Dunes bonus area is not clean, you missed the south west corner (enter the fort and explore).

Can someone tell me how to map the NW coast of Hell's Precipice? I have seen it clear on many 100% maps, but it is pretty foggy on mine. I've mapped the southern coast and back-tracked after the cut scene. I am suffering through the 98 percents after having gleaned lots of great tips from this thread. Thanks for the help.

Learned Bowmore,
see last tip here
Also remember you can walk in the water in the western part of Hell's.
There are 100% maps in the post for compares (the ones in #4 are even better).
The missing areas might help you get to 100%.
