*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****
This thread is now closed for Map requests.

If there is someone who is interested in doing map checks, please pm me and we'll see if we can't do something else. But there are so many map requests that legitimate questions are getting drowned out. In the meantime, if you want to get a map check, you'll have to read up on how to do it yourself, or pay someone who's running a service (check ventari's). But this is a notice that all further map requests will be deleted (in this thread specifically and more so in a separate thread.)

*****EVEN MORE IMPORTANT EDIT*****

To Clarify, I'm not doing map checks. Don't PM me with map checks.

Alright, I'm getting frustrated at not finding out how to get to this area here. Was this when LA turned into Amnoon for a bit? Can I just write this part off as a no-go?

<Removed image> It's indeed a no-go area that was only accessible during the LA->Amnoon bug.

before you download the map mod, download this texmod so you can use it-> http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide...-game_graphics

Then here's the Tyria mod-> http://www3.hrsv.de/Tyria_Cartography_Made_Easy.tpf


that will help you finish up in a few minutes



those mods are great, but the Tyrian one doesnt work for me since gwen update, there is a red fog version that does though-but i would prefer the other if it worked.... Hey it works fine! thanks alot man! I've got 100% cartography now. Whats funny is that 100% isnt 100%, the full cartography is like 110% or something.
Hey Nobuo, was wondering if you had the ELONA and Cantha tpf map too somwhere?

that would be super dude!

Question:

I am missing a few areas in the frost gate. I was told you need necrotic traversal to get to it, so I brought it but I didnt seem to find any corpses or well...anything, to tele myself over to the spots to get it.

Anyone have any idea? I know its prolly been discussed here, just didnt wanan sift through 3400 posts

Thanks!

Easiest way for Frostgate NT/CC is to take a MM hero/human with Fiends only and sac him to death on the first bridge where Rurik is.
When positioned right, the fiends will kill the guards and probably Rurik (should not be a problem), leaving corpses for you.

Later on the path there might be a snow wolf you can kill and travel to, however that's more gamble.

Check the services offers for someone who does do this These threads are more for asking specific questions and so on regarding exploration. Good Luck!!

Woohoo

-Tiki

Id recommend getting a texmod application and checking through that, or asking in the find services department, there are some well established service offers who provide this for a price.

First, you will need to download texmod, the link to download it can be found here.

Next, you will need to download the tpf files that texmod will use to make your map the way it is. I prefer the "Cartography Made Easy" series made by Pyron Sy on the official wiki (link can be found here)

Once you have texmod and the tpf files downloaded,Open Texmod Select the big folder near the top of the screen Find the gw.exe file
  • Select ok Find a smaller folder icon toward the middle of the window Browse for the tpf file you just downloaded
    Hope this helps

    Nente,

    Assuming you have heroes, are necro yourself or have access to a human necro player willing to die, you can do the following:

    Skills you need: Animate Bone Fiend, any sac skill (BiP, Blood of the Master, Verata's Sacrifice. Perhaps use Awaken to sac even more life at once).

    What you should do:
    Play the first part of the mission, with the Minotaurs. Kill them all to raise as many Fiends as possible.
    Move the minion master on the bridge where Rurik is standing the first time you encounter him.
    Put him on the edge of the bridge, get healers out of range and sac the MM to death.
    The fiends will become hostile and kill the guards/Rurik.
    You should then be able to NT down to the path.

    I'm sorry for asking a question which I know has been answered before, but this thread has 162 pages and gwg search just fails....

    Anyway: Can a non-tyrian-'born' character get Tyrian GMC? I remember when I was getting the Elonian title there was a lot of discussion about it but I honestly can't remmeber whether it was supposed to be possible, or not. My char was Canthan originally...

    TomD22,

    Yes, it's very possible to get Tyrian GMC on a non-tyrian character.
    Besides two low-end arenas there are no spots you can't explore with a non-tyrian.
    In Elona there is a tiny bit you can't explore (start of the game) as non-elonian. Same in Factions, but that can be explored when the boardwalk games in Shing Jea are open.

    So if you dont explore the low level arena's its not going to count against your percentage?

    nope you don't actually need them, I mean they count towards your title if you do explore them but as far as needing them there is enough map elswhere lol don't worry there is still plenty of map ^^

    The area to look for is Lornar's Pass.
    As you can see, there is a huge area still covered in snow.
    That's about the amount you can leave unexplored. I have seen a similar picture with a large part of Hell's mission still unexplored.
    The picture is from a character which has not accessed the early arena's, only the outposts of those (and those are still accessible).

    Halk,

    That request is just so wrong....
    The topic says (no map checks) for a reason.
    There are currently no known mapcheckers available.
    You might want to look in the new posting for hints and frequently missed spots. Or do a compare yourself against the maps posted there.

    Maps with the 17 July update can be found here:
    1280x1024
    1024x768

    take the first one, put it up against the map you posted and take a close look at 'The Wilds' and Hell's (hint, hint ).
