Hi there, I've been reading explorer's forums for a long time but this time I'm struck at 97.3%... I've tried lots of other people maps to search for missed things that could've been same for me but I failed ^^
If anybody could help then I could finally get some sleep
note that I voluntarily increased gamma to make missed spots easier to see...if it's not a good idea tell me. Generally the gamma increase is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it's a bit easier to see certain darker areas that you could have missed, and bad because the thing that we rely on to see the differences is that the maps will look the same except for the difference. So we look specifically for any color changes. Increasing the gamma really messes that up. Luckily the people here analyzing your map have done so, so many times that we already know where to look for the missing areas in most cases, and thus the gamma won't mess that up too much. But as a general rule, go with normal gamma. If you have problems seeing places we've pointed out already, then you might try increasing the gamma.

I had a quick look at your shots and I already see a heap of areas that you need to hit. The big ones that don't need much specific explanation are Fort Aspen, Jade Quarry (inside the mission areas), and the NE corner of Shiro's banishment area.

I'll do some actual analyzing a bit later if someone else doesn't get to it first. If you are using Leighwyn's method of flipping back and forth between your map and his map on top of each other, you should be finding heaps more yourself. Just search all the edges.

From what I've read on the 40+ pages of this excellent topic, Shiro banishes a character only to a certain location, so how am I supposed to uncover NE area ? What he was saying is that you need the NE part of the NW banishment point (since, as you said, that's the only place you'll ever be taken). Just get banished to the normal spot but REALLY wall-hug (well, cliff-hug I guess), maybe even idle in corners for a few seconds.
