Rockby Quickfoot,

You have 2.6% of the map left to uncover, that is a LOT of map. I don't know about other reviewers, but until you are at 99.5% there are likely to be so many places you have missed as to make reviewing a real chore. Second (and more important to me) the map you posted is at 800x554, which is both too low for reviewing via the method I use, and is an odd size to boot. I use a method that requires me to have a map of the exact same dimensions as the one I am reviewing. For Tyria that means I would need you to post a map at: 1680x1050, 1440x900, 1400x1050 or 1280x1024. Other people using different techniques might be able to use other resolutions, but I am not familiar with their limitations.

Boogie Knight,

Your map is 1024x819. So again, there is not much I could do with it. I did note however, that you seem to be missing part of the Dunes of Despair mission area. After you use Necrotic Traversal to get into the bonus area (I don't know any other effective way to map the bonus area) there is a large piece to the East that you do not seem to have mapped. Check the Guildwiki entry for that mission to find out more if you are not familiar with the technique.

Asrial,

Mapping can be tough, and some folks who are trying to do it seem to be a bit unimaginative.

Seeing someone run EVERY mission again, in hopes they will stumble across the one tiny piece they need, makes me feel sorry for them, when a little research and some reading of posts could provide them with the answers. Of course, it's the person at 99.9%, who has been there for weeks, that would really inspire me to help. Someone at 94% is just lazy or in too big a hurry and is looking for someone to do their work for them.

Bill, I meant with regards to people posting "hey, can someone look at my map and help me find spots?" and ignoring the step by step instructions on how they can do it themselves.

Rockby, I will most CERTAINLY help you

Message me on AIM @ ANovastar78 and I will walk you through it step by step.

The hardest part of it is setting it up. Once that's done, it's really really easy to use.

I finally made it. Many thanks to all who posted spots worth double-checking in this thread (and in some other ones), they helped a lot!

Asrial,
Thanks for the info on this technique. Had been on 98.5 for almost a year when I found this post. Finished Cantha and working on Tyria atm, but am having a hard time finding a post of Elona with the green background.

Could someone please post an Elona map [prefer 1280, but any will do].

Thanks

When I did the compares (before Texmod), at first I compared almost everything above the 95% stated in the first post.
However, I was seeing the same spots over and over, so I made the list of frequently missed spots, which can be found here.
I also made that thread because I do not have enough time anymore for the compares.
An < 98% map usually has more spots, but does not take much more time to compare than a 99.9 one. It's the marking of the spots that takes most time.
Using a graphical editor or even two internet explorer windows to compare maps has always worked for me, it's about the same way Asrial's compare works (have not tried that one yet).

I think there are enough resources available now for people to do their own compares, at least for Tyrian maps.
