Full-scale Grandmaster Cartography Map Aid

Here you go Bartuc..
Southern-middle edge of Deldrimore (lol more there??? WHo would have thought)
Very eastern edge of gates of Kryta, there is a spot missing
western edge of hell's precipice, after portal wraiths, i think you can get more.
EASIEST SPOT, CHECK THIS FIRST: Whitman's Folley town, walk to the western edge of it.
Your very SE corner of iron mines looks different than mine too, but in a weird way so it may be some artifacting.
Also missing a dot on the southern edge of Frozen Forest, near the western side where there is a summit fort
Missing a spot on the north edge of Talus Chute, over on the western side.
Also missing the very SW corner of Snake's Dance.
That should cover your last 0.1%

Well I stand corrected. I did not think it was possible for me to obtain grandmaster because I started GW too late for the old arena areas and I never visited the ascalon and yak arenas when I was a lower level.
But today I hit 100%. A hearty thank you to Leighwyn for I would never had got this without the use of your excellent maps and this thread.

99.1.....did thk, only got .1 for that northern area...seems .1 is the max I get from any area.....still need to redo wilds and lomar, hope to get to 99.5 this weekend.....no idea when I will get to 100 (will get my protector title first since I only need 2 more bonuses--thk and glint).

Got my Grandmaster yesterday. And although I never commented here, this thread helped me quite a bit on this mind-numbing wall-hugging journey through Tyria.
Some notes: I did this with my Ranger, partly running, but mostly fighting with hench. Clearing an area and then wall-hugging it is probably better than rushing through it while being chased by some angry mobs, at least in higher-level areas where enemies can actually harm you. A lot of the missions have huge areas that you would normally never explore, for example: Bloodstone Fen has an area "behind" the Bloodstone where the final baddies are, Northern Wall charr spawning camps, the lake near the "The Wilds" bonus, Gates of Kryta has huge areas, one of them with dozens of undead at one spot. Where Barrage comes in handy. Aurora Glade bonus area did give me the last .1%. At Riverside Province, clear the first watchtower then speak to Saidra at the nearby gate to get behind that gate (part of the bonus). Dunes was huge too, and you can simply walk up (or better, "run up") an invisible drawbridge at the SW fort to enter that fort and clear a nice amount of fog.
At around 90% I noticed that I haven't explored Reed Bog and The Falls at all. (With this char!)
Double-checking previously wall-hugged areas did uncover some more too. At least in my case. Sigh. You can never be too sure.
Oh, and I have no PvP arenas uncovered.

Soooo.......is anyone working toward Cantha GM with their Tyria GM characters? Mine (Mr Head) started a little late to the party but I've gotten him up to the 80's so far...still plenty of stuff to explore, too!

gaile said that would change, hopefully... considering the % i got in those areas with my canthan warrior i can say that the max % a tyrian character can have in cantha is about 92%.
brosse
Just got my GM title as well. This thread made it a lot easier.
I didn't even have to uncover the areas at the end of THK or the Ice Imp cave in mineral springs.
Thanks guys, on to Cantha.

The only areas I'm missing on the tutorial island are the tiny little training area and Minister cho's estate. Probably doesnt equate to more than 2% if I had to guess, so HOPEFULLY there is as much of a buffer as there was in Tyria.
Right now I'm at 83% and have yet to explore the Crater zone of the far east, and the very southern portion of Kurzick territory (Grove -> Unwaking Waters stuff)
I think I also need to edge-walk vizunah, however the heck that's supposed to be possible

The little training area is just the little training area, the one you start at when you make a Canthan character. Zen Daijun I was able to get into via the back entrance, by ferrying along with a group doing the 15-attrib quest It required a bit of trickery, but the advantage you have with THIS roadblock is that you're not in an explorable area when you encounter it.

monastery overlook? i think its called

Also, if you are under 90%, there are relatively LARGE areas of the map that you have missed. Check the above notes for common areas that are missed, and definitely check the map pictures. I was shocked to see the entire northern area of the falls totally fogged in in my map because I was sure I had wall hugged that area, but I had missed the bridge that leads to it.

This is absolutely amazing! There are so few people with even the Master Cartographer title. I felt all alone in doing this until I saw this thread. A big thanks to all involved especially Leighwyn! I bought GW when it was new. After playing for quite a while, completing every quest, mission and bonus, I got bored and started looking for other achievements. As a goal, I started scouting the entire map with just a map to look at for a reward.
When Factions came out, I was pleased to get a title and surprised that I only had 92% of the map scouted. Since then, I've gone over every area again trying to get to 100% and have only achieved 95.9%. With these maps, I'll definitely go back and try to find the missing areas. THANKS!
My problem is, I took that same character into Cantha and completed all the quests and missions there and only have 88.3%. I know I still have a little area in Kurzick to explore but not more than 2% I think. I am missing the 2 mission areas and 1 other city that my character is not able to access. Has anyone figured out a way into these areas with their native Tyrian character? I've heard people say it will be fixed, anyone know when or a work around?
Thanks,
Mighty Joe

I dont think I will be doing this with cantha as my computer cant handle the graphics (and redoing all those fedex quests would make me pull out my butt-length hair)....so 1 character is getting the 100% title for tyria...the others will have to settle for the 80's or 90's (since I am still having problems finding another .9% for my monk and have only a few specks left to unfog on the map--all of my characters are over 70% for tyria except my ritualist who hasnt even gotten there).....I really dont care about cantha right now either.
oh well
oh well
Leighwyn
That's the best I've been able to do in Cantha. You can get into Zen Daijun by helping someone do the 15 attrib quest (at least, I could the day that factions came out...maybe they fixed the glitch), but Minister Cho's and the monastery overlook I've not been able to set foot in. Also, I haven't had the chance to explore Jade Quarry since no one is EVER joining the mission :P
QoH
Finally i got my tyrian grandmaster title yesterday. Leighwyn, your map was a huge help, thank you a lot.
cosyfiep
do the elite mission areas of cantha count for the title? I hope not since it sounds like I will never get into those places....
(my monk has made no progress this week.....he is on vacation so he remains at 99.1 for tyria).

Does Shing Jea Arena Count? I'm at 97.6% and I'm almost positive it's the only place left unexplored. I've done Jade Quarry. I gone back into all the mission explorable areas and huged walls. I'm really at a loss as to what could be left. Does anyone know of an area in Cantha that is easy to miss and about 2% in size?
Leighwyn
Shing Jea arena counts, but i doubt it's 2.4% Are you sure you've done ALL the competitive missions? Fort Aspenwood is particularly huge.
Cosyfiep: Elite mission areas may count, i havent been there. They would only count if you can visibly see the area on your map. My guess is no, you cant.

I've done all the competative missions. I've done aspen wood several times from both sides. I run around all the challegne missions too (except dragon's throat which doesn't count). I've gotten up to 98.1% since my last post.
Anyhow, If Shing jea Arena counts, it's all moot because I mised the boat on that one. I don't think you have the same magin of error for grandmaster in Cantha as you did in Tyria.

cool, best news I have heard all week......my monk is still awol and my ritualist has made it to tyria---at 5.1% and finished the first mission (past lions arch)...I have already been wall hugging....and I am finding out just how much each area counts for the 100% (lions arch is .4).....hope to have her to 60% by next weekend!
Asrial
Here's 1024x768 map for anyone wanting to use it to compare: http://home.comcast.net/~asrial/temp/gw911.bmp
I keep it updated with any changes I find out about. I hit 100% halfway into Hell's Precipice.
If anyone finds out, through trying to get 100% themselves, about any areas that I do NOT have.. please please post about it.

Good news, the 2 mission areas on the starter island in Cantha have been opened to Tyrian characters as of the game update on Friday May 26th. They made it so you don't get experience for the missions but are able to access and complete them. Those area really add up fast too. -Joe

i'm at 99.3% done with tyria. i've been comparing my maps closely (using the zoomed out view as mentioned above - it works great btw, thanks!)
i found 3 clouds in the frost gate mission. two of those three i have no idea how i can get to them...if there was some way to access rurik's path, it wouldn't be a problem. i circled them in red in the screenshot i'm linking to (1024x768). can anyone pleeeeease enlighten me about how to reach these two points?
http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?i...point3b7xk.jpg
i wasn't going to post a screen til later as i know of a ton of places i'm missing and didn't want people wasting their time to point out places i'm already aware of. but if you want to take a look feel free here's the places i know i'm missing (and am hoping will get me to 100%): 3 clouds in mineral springs, area in NE corner of tangle root, areas in abbadon's mouth and hell's precipice, very SW corner of dunes of despair, cloud in spearhead peak just outside copperhammer, and west area at end of THK.
any help on how to reach those 2 spots would be awesome!
thanks,

I'm at 94.8 % in Tyria and I know that I miss the Dunes of Despair Bonus Area, I did the bonus but the area is huge out there, the northern part of the Ring of Fire mission, where the spiders are, the bonus area from Iron Mines of Moladune (not that big) and 2 small bits in Lornars Pass.
Someone tell me that those will be enough to get me to 100 % or at least nearly to 100 %.
I also can't access the old PVP-areas as my actual character is only 6 months old, therefore I miss a few bits that I will never have access to.
Will upload zoomed in pictures, don't have time atm.

I recently acquired the Grandmaster Cartographer title and decided to try my hand at making some Tyrian maps. I'm not the biggest fan of MOOMANiBE's maps, as they leave a lot of the areas covered up. However, I did like the style, and decided to make my own maps of Tyria. I recently finished the Ring of Fire, the first region I compiled.
I plan on making maps for the remainder of the regions of Tyria when I get the time. For now, the Ring of Fire will have to do, but expect more in the future.

There are some pets you can kill to get down there. When you get to the last part(Where Rurik fight those summits) there will spawn ALOT of Ice Golems and a certain proffesion of Summits. They wont spawn at the same time, but they will come after a while... So take some hex removal as a runner or just fight them(They are lvl 10 or something)

The question has probably been a repeated one, but with search down I'm going to have to take the lazy route.
Can Tyrians get 100% Canthan catrography? If so, who has already done it and do you have maps to post/proof.
