Thanks for the map, now I can compare myself too.

Hi!
My question would be:
How can you remove the clouds? Every uploaded map I find is without clouds.
Thx

Im getting 404 not founds. I see that other people have gotten this too, but i can't find the solution. Can anyone help? Thanks!

The people who were hosting the images have removed them after almost a year. There are several 100% maps scattered through the various mapping threads if you need them though.

Ok, thought I'd try this out... soz about posting yet another Map Help request, but I'm totally lost 
Here's my current map of Tyria, at 1280x1024 resolution:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...MapofTyria.jpg
I'm currently stuck at 98.5% completion, but can't seem to find the remaining 1.5%
Any guidance would be most appreciated, thnx in advance

I'm actually looking for something a little more specific, as in another set of eyes, to maybe catch the fog that I can't see.
Obviously, I'm not expecting peeps to rush and drop everything to take a look
, and am more than willing to provide zoomed maps of specific locations, as the cloudcover can be extremely frustrating.BTW, have managed to net a further .2% - so now stand at 98.7%.
Thnx again one and all, and gratz to all those who made the 100%
SacredLie
Wow... last time I posted here I had 98.6%. I'm now up to 99.4%. And I have NO idea where else to look... = (

To others, when taking a screen shot, be aware that the clouds always start at the same spot before they drift. If you immediately zoom out of your map and take a picture, the clouds will be very similarly placed to the sample pics you find online. I'll post mine in a follow-up post. So you can compare for yourselves.
I make no claims at expertise in mapping, i'm just a body who got my GMC.
Tips for tricky places in Tyria (prophecies)
*Great Northern Wall mission. - that place where you see the char in the cut scene, you can actually go there if you kill the charr instead of running back to the gate. It's not a full %, but it helps. Bring a running skill. You may need to make more than one trip.
*The Falls - There is a tricky loop in the far side of the falls. It leads you to a commonly missed spot. I've circled it on this map for baelian.
*Beetleton - My last .2% was in a little gulf west of beetleton. Check that area out. It's easy and could save frustration from needlessly running south siverpeaks.
*South Kryta - There are two uncommonly traveled locations in the south of kryta (likely cause they are in mission map areas. The first is the beach in Gates o' Kryta. The second is also along the shore, but this time in the D'Allesio seaboard mission. Hug both of these coast lines. In the latter mission, look for alternate routes to get back to that shore (but a little to the west this time).
*In the south shiver peak missions, you would think the map would be cleared from in the mission, but the cloud is actually cleared by standing on the otherside of some obstacle outside that mission. The reverse is also true. The ice river where you meet the Seer is a good example of this.
That's all for now.
Good luck
Miss Mcfilth
hey countess corpula could you post a copy of your 100% map i cant find 1 anywhere. thanks.
countesscorpula
Here's my Tyria 100%. Remember that one person's 100% may be slightly different that another's. I know I still see parts of my map that could be cleared when i compare to other folks. So if you see things you've cleared that I haven't, that just means that my map will give you even more opportunities to find spaces you've missed.
When taking your Screenie, i find it helps to clear off the UI before entering the map screen (ctrl+shift+h). Just give you one less thing to fiddle with so you can take your screenie right away.
Happy hunting.

Also note: I'm no steady hand when it comes to mouse drawing. The markers are general pointers. Feel free to download the map i posted and compare for yourself.
Edit: stupid slow internet and double posting. *grumble grumble*

I wish all "wannbe" cartographers good luck, take advantage of the shing jea boardwalk games, that allows u to uncover 0.5% extra on shing jea island if u are non-canthan.
This led me to my legendary cartographer title, i think i wont repeat this title on another character

Can anyone re-upload Leighwyn's map again?
I'm especially interested in Leighwyn's because he worked towards MORE than 100% (or actually a REAL 100% map). So the chance of any spots missing on BOTH maps should be very low.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have been stuck on Cantha at 98.1% for a very long time now, so if someone could please help me it'd be much appreciated. This is at the highest resolution.

I got my Tyrian 100% title today. Did it without any PVP areas. I used IRfanView to examine maps and used the hints here as well as the hints on Wiki. The key is that map comparison. Use that and you won't need any other help(except reading the hints in the forums). No question it was a lot of work. Had to repeat some missions many times. Never got around to the necrotic transversal in Frost Gate. There is really quite a bit of leeway.
feedmenow
I need some assistance, I am currently at 98.3%, and I've used photoshop (most of the time I can't really tell whats unexplored because it's rather blurry) as well as rapidly switching the maps back and forth. Please point out the unexplored areas, all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I've finished Tyria and Cantha, but Elona is throwing me for a loop. I'm at 99.1% and just can't find the rest. I gave up a few months ago just because of a lack of time and sanity. I saw people were helping here and all of a sudden have hope I can get it If someone could help me figure out where the last big is I'd be ever so appreciative. Good luck everyone!

I've also got a problem... I'm at 96.8% (or .9, w/e) of Cantha, and I can't find the last bits... or a complete Canthan map for the matter.
If anyone has the time, please look into this and pinpoint where I still need to go, it'd be deeply appreciated!
A link to someone's 100% Cantha explored map would also be of help.

.
Download AviSynth, VirtualDub, TexMod, and the Mapping Mod made by Tiyuri.
Make a text script titled "whateveryouwant.avs" and in it, put this text:
(text start; do not put this in)
a = ImageSource("insert location and full name of 100% map here",end=0).Subtitle("baseline")
b = ImageSource("insert location and full name of non-100% map here",end=0)
c = overlay(b,a,mode="difference")
a + b + c
(text end; do not put this in)
Run Guild Wars with the mapping mod and take a 1024 screenshot of your map. Run VirtualDub and load the avs file and go through the 3 screenshots and find your missing areas.
.
The concept is this...
You create as clean a screenshot as you can and compare it to a 100% screenshot made using the same process.
Using VirtualDub allows you to flip back and forth ALOT faster than any other program out there PLUS it allows a comparison to be made. Anything that shows up in a light blue/white color, in the third frame, is an area that has a discrepancy. You can then focus your eyes on that spot and go back to the two prior frames to determine if it's on the 100% map or yours.
Further, as you progress clearing areas, all you need to do is make a new screenshot and replace the file location in the avs file and hit F5 in VirtualDub to refresh the file load.
Quick and painless.
.
VirtualDub is the program used to do the comparison and picture viewing.
AviSynth is used to install the scripting language for the text file loaded into VirtualDub.
TexMod and the Mod is used to create the best screenshot possible.
.
I also have a request...
If anyone finds spots that THEY have uncovered but I don't, please let me know.

Asrial,
Great info, can't wait to try it (been using Zweistein's cartography mods so far but this looks like it could be better).
Since I started my cartography title in Nightfall, do you have a similar map for Elona?
Thanks,

Not yet -O-Dawg. I can get you a map up to Vabbi, but that's all I currently have (only 50% finished).

Asrial,
Tried it tonight with my Cantha map (only 70-ish percent) and it's very cool, very easy to see what is left to unconver.
Do you mind posting your partial elona map? I want to see how well i've been doing scraping so far!

I just got Tyrian for my second time. Its a terrible pain in the neck. But, last time, I suspected there was some leeway. This time I was extra careful with all areas. I got everything but left Dragons Gullet completely unentered and fogged. I was at 99.7 when I entered it tonight. After circling left about 1/3 of the way, I was at 100%. Look how much area is left unfogged (outline in blue). That must be a full 1 percent extra.
Response to Woop Shotty: I think normally you have a lot of little spots that add up, so it seems like its just a little spot somewhere. The trick is to be super careful. Slowly but surely. Don't miss a zig where you should have zagged. Also, this obviously contains no arena areas, since I did it recently. I was obviously too careful, but the thought of ending with 99.9% and not knowing where the .1% is was too much to bear.

I find that funny. Later on I'll be figuring out what spot of my Canthan map I'm missing, but I know that the last percent is going to be a tiny spot, unlike what you have there. That's Cantha for you!
