Carmina,

The D'Alessio Seaboard area was only accessible during a bug in Lion's Arch (there are some pictures of Lion's as desert area).
It's not possible to explore this.

When you killed all enemies in Aurora Glade, you have all time to explore.
There is a fixed number of enemies, once you've killed them, none will follow.

Thanks Jos... that's upsetting but at least I wont waste any more time trying to figure it out. Maybe aNet will decide to re-open the arenas (at least the outposts) for an event weekend.

Sitting at 99.7% now, scraping walls is starting to kill me.

I figure there's probably about .1% - .2% in the desert areas (missing a little sliver of Dunes of Despair and Thirsty River mission areas). If I get those I might be able to pick up the last little bit scraping.

*sigh* Wish this was over so I could get on with Lightbringer and Elite Skill capping.

Thanks again!

IF you hug every single spot it can acutally add up a lot more than 100%
and there's no way you will miss anything if you hug the wall

this is my 100% without any arena and didn't use evenia trick (she won't died -__-)

DON'T COMPARE THE MAP ,Hug Everything you can
compare only when you hug and you feel hmm may be this spot should reveal then you look on the map





Ty livingston's thread too I'd never get 100% witout his common missed spot in faction
Ty Jos for common missed spot in Tyria ^_^
Ty Tomorrow for checking my elona map

Pakhavit, you're 100% correct... Just made it without arena outposts, without Evenia trick, without the Lion's Arc bug, and with a pretty fair margin of spots still left unexplored around the map.

If you're struggling to find the spots there's plenty of great high resolution 100% maps around. It should be pretty easy to find the spots you're missing... getting there is the hard part in some instances.

Anyway, thanks everyone for this thread (and I can't leave out Livingston's threads which I'd have never gotten Factions without).

Sunspear title here I come!

Now for a little narcism:

Stefan - Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy. Work on those areas for now. Most of them are straight forward, just some scraping to be done. There are plenty of guides for getting the large part in the Frost Gate mission as well.

Currently at 99.4%. Feeling like I'm having to uncover every 6 spots just to get 0.1%. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

woot! 99.1 percent now but im very confused on my map and some other things....
1. could anyone explain the evienna bug or the lions arch bug that i read in a few posts back?

Evennia, you can get her killed in the Wilds mission (tips on wiki).
Lions Arch was bugged for a couple of hours, it looked like the desert at that time. During that bug it was possible to explore a lot of the sea south of Lion's.

2. can anyone tell me how to get to the huge circle on my marked map in the frost gate?

Probably inside the ice caves where you get the bonus dwarf and on the left side where you open the three gates.


3. does anyone know how to get past this gate in ruins of surmia

It's not possible

4. how come no matter how many times i clear out sanctum kay and get the spot even where this is a huge bunch of white mantle i still need to explore it on my marked map

I don't know how to explore that point (yet), it's probably from somewhere else.

5. anyone know how to get the small area right above frost gate on the marked map, all i see is a gate with some dolyaks that cant be blown open

Is that Borlis or Frostgate?
Borlis is walking back a little when you start the mission and then go north.


gw120.jpg any ideas would help
map_markedScooter.jpg yes in borlis pass i have consume corpse'd down to rurik and done all of that

ok back at 99.5% thanks for answers jos, but now could anyone look at my map for me? thanks if u can!

gw126.jpg

interestingly (or atleast i think so anyway) has no one tried the assassin skill caleed recall to get to eveinna? they seem like they would be an easier way to get to rurik in the frost gate or eveinna in the wilds but i dont know if they would work does anyoen know if they do?

Thanks again

Assassin skills only work when there is a walkable path to the location.
Necrotic Traversal brings you to any place where a corpse is, even if you can't walk there.

thanks for the answers to questions jos and thanks for map check crimson. And (becuase i have no life ) ive checked those spots and got to 99.9 percent, could anyone check my new map?

gw128.jpg
my map
gw127.jpg a screenshot showing that i have gotten to the spot in sanctum cay that is always on my marked map

Btw for anyoen trying to do eveinna trick, bring blood ritual spam it on ur spirit ranger(btw i added this to wiki) eveinna wastes all her energy healing you, and dies rather quickly like this
Thanks.

P.S. after the 7/17 update the proph map now contains Eye of the North, so how will we continue on with map checks, since i can no longer take a map screen that will fit 100% maps, im not so concerned about me since im at 99.9 percent, but im very worried about people who have far less.

For anyone who is wondering, the explorer title (afaik) isnt affected by the new map. I still have 100%, and infact i think theres some new places to explore that dont count twards the title. Ill have to test this out.

Edit: no there is no more explorability in the new map. I think though wall walking may have been nerfed a bit to give less, as the boundarys of the explorable areas tend to hug the edge of the area, similar to the canthan map.

ugh i feel bad for asking you to do this again crimson, but i think the new edging on the map seems to look like it will get less confused w/ clouds.

and i understand if this takes a while since the map just changed.

thx in advance!

I wish they would have thought this out more before they implemented it.. one of the things I have loved about this game is that you can constantly and completely remake your build/etc, and not feel a need to restart all the time.

But now there are these titles which are going to be impossible to fully attain unless you visited every nook and cranny along the way, in places you can no longer return to when you are too high level? That's just dumb. Then that is bugged, you should check with Guild Wars on this. If its denied from you, because you CHOSE not to 1-10 IIRC... Thats just BROKEN, IMO.

Seems as though the powers that be have upgraded the resolution on the world map (thank you a-net). Would it be possible to have a new 100% map posted that reflects this new update....more than fog seems to haver changed.

I'll refer here to the new maps in the frequently missed spots thread when I post them. This to keep them at one place, without risk of them getting lost in this thread (which is gaining several pages a week).

Has anyone got 100% maps in 1680*1050 ? I think this is a more and more common resolution so there must be widescreen users like myself who'd appreciate them
