Congratulations Randvek!

Lots of scraping to be done there halk, Crystal Desert seems the worst. If you wonder about anything, drop me a PM or whisper me in game if you see me online. Good luck.

I'm tyring the map compare in Photoshop (not much luck) and just doing it visually at the moment. However, I would be very grateful 0if someone more experienced then myself, and who have done this a few times, could take a look at my map and point me in the right direction to uncover a few 0.1%!
Thanks in advance!

Ok. I'm now on 99.8% and there is 20k on offer to for each 0.1% to get my 10th title. Here is my 99.8% map:

Try those, bit unsure about the Ascalon one though, I don't seem to be very good at comparing Ascalonian areas. :P Good luck.

Thanks for the help guys. I had some in game help for that last 0.1% so I am now 'Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer' and 'People Know Me'.

I would have got this at some point as it was an area i was going to explore after the Shiverpeaks. I really didnt have any trouble at all getting this title apart from boredom.

I know the feeling, it isn't hard as such, it just takes patience and some good music.

I don't *think* that'll take you up .4 % but it's worth checking those spots out. I'll try another once you've had a look at those.

Crimsonfox,

Just want to thank you for doing this great job comparing the maps.
I used to do this a while ago and I know that it takes time to do the downloads, compares, uploads and postings.
If you are doing a Gimp/Photoshop compare, may I point you to my thread at http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10160387.
The maps at #4 are among the 'cleanest', wich makes comparing a lot easier.

jbwarrior,
There is a spot in Talus Chute that is not marked on Crimsonfox's map.
It's on the west side, above the Ice Caves outpost.
Wiki has the exploration route. This area is worth a little more than 0.1%.

Happy exploring

iamthescooter - Your map is attached and I recommend you concentrate your efforts on the Southern Shiverpeaks, there's an absolutely massive chunk missing out of the Mineral Springs and spots all over the place.

jos - It's no problem, I'm enjoying it at the moment and thanks for the link, that'll help, I am a beginner at comparing compared to a lot of people. ^^;

Good luck scooter! ^_^

hi guys, I am at 99.7% right now and have no idea how to get the .3% Can you answer afew of my questions?

Correct me if I am wrong but there is no way to still get to the arenas.

I have a little tiny bit right about Sorrow's Furnace I don't know how to get.

I think I have a small south-western corner in Dunes of Despair to get but I don't know how.

I have attached a picture of my map...thanks for any assistance you guys can give!!

The only Arena's that you can get to at the moment are the ones in Ascalon City and Yak's Bend, all the others have been closed off.

The south west corner of Dunes is got to a couple of ways. You can do the bonus normally, defeat the bosses and the fort will open, or you can use the corpse teleportation trick to get down there without triggering the bonus. Both these methods can be found on Guild Wiki

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Dunes_of_Despair (Check the the notes section and bonus)

When I did this trick, my henchies some how found a way down to me which I have no idea how I did. Seems to be documented in the discussion though, looks like you have to die outside the main fort and henchies will tele over. O.o

The area above SF you get from wall hugging that spot from Snake Dance and a little you can uncover from Grenths Footprints.

Vivec - Your map was pretty tough but please report back on the bits I've given you there. I boxed one of them because I think there is something going on there but I'm not sure what. :P Worth checking out anyway.

EDIT: TROMaster, could you retake the screen shot while holding SHIFT please so the icons aren't there, makes life a lot easier. Thanks.

JBWarrior,

You can get the top left location from Aurora Glade bonus area.

I've attached a map with some circles on it, think this will keep you busy for some time.

Sorry, but now i need some help on how to get to the spots you marked crimson, particularly
the tar lake in ascalon,
The dunes of despair upper corner,
the sanctum cay area,
the ice caves of sorrow northern area,
borlis pass lower right area,
if anyone can tell me how to get to those areas, I would love that

Not 100% on tar lake, probably from walking near the spot from Old Ascalon area. You can walk inside the lake at some point, as far as I can remember.
Don't know the upper Sanctum area, I have an outstanding question on that one myself.
The lower left corner can be explored from Riverside mission, kill the last tower and walk to the water and on the pier.
Ice Caves is probably a matter of being as close to the wall as possible, I never had trouble with it. I think it's the secundary path where the first group of mursaat are killed.
The spot in the center is explored from Evennia's cell.
Dunes is most probably explored from the Sand Giant area, if not, necrotic traversal in bonus area and keep hugging the upper area.
Borliss Pass is not marked.
You probably mean Frost Gate (the east wall). It's a matter of getting to that area and hugging the wall. Could be that it's in the cave just above the bonus dwarf.

Vivec - Got a much cleaner map to compare to now and I'm getting more used to spotting bits uncovered rather than clouds. :P Boxed the one I'm unsure about. Hope it helps. ^_^

nbaJammer - Most of those bits are pretty straightforward, apart from the bit in the Frost Gate mission. There are plenty of guides for getting there. Good luck.

Pakhavit,

I think you are referring to the old arena that was there a long time ago.
You can't reach it anymore
