100% Canthan Map Discussion and Help

I hate Photobucket because it resizes large files automatically. It would help if you hosted your images somewhere else like imageshack.us or another image hosting site. Okay. Well I went to your helpful section in that thread. Found about 6 more spots. Plus the 2 in Quarry. I'm still not gonna hit 100% though. I burned my eyes out tabbing back and forth and found all I could find.


Since then I got a place in northeast Shing Jea, Boreas, the edge by Gyala to the north. A place in Zin Ku, a place in Tahnahki, the edge of the mountain in Pongmei...and some of the map in lower Gyala. I didn't update cause I'm doing many things at once. So you can circle areas you see and I'll disregard if I already have, that's if someone looks at them for me. Thanks for any help..

I'm at 99.2% now by the way. With only the two spots in Jade Quarry to do. Which will probably give me .1% more.

Step 1: Go to page 1 and look for the sirens.

Step 2: Read everything in Livingston's thread linked nearby

Step 3: Alt-tab on your own

Step 4: Get up to 99ish percent, no matter your eyesight.

Step 5: Post your new maps, from U window, in this thread.

Step 6: Get GM Cartographer title! Step 1: Done. Did that a while ago. It's what got me to 95% in the first place.

Step 2: Took a look at that, but only found that after I made my post.

Step 3: I have two monitors, no alt+tab.

Step 4: Got about another 1%, but that's it.

Step 5: I'll get around to that later.

Step 6: Workin' on it.

question though: how much of the map is revealed in Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood?

Just as an FYI, alt+tab technique is used because its the superior technique, not because one is unable to compare side-by-side If you have two monitors, just use one and alttab till your keyboard dies! turns out my eyes are pretty good at side by side comparison. Which is good cause I run at 1280 and the maps are 1024. Alt+tab'ing wouldn't work unless I resized and that would mess up UI.

turns out my eyes are pretty good at side by side comparison. Which is good cause I run at 1280 and the maps are 1024. Alt+tab'ing wouldn't work unless I resized and that would mess up UI. If you aren't alt tabbing then you have no hope.

If you save the map you are comparing to then windows picture and fax viewer will allow you to zoom in closer. Also if you are using the U map, all you need do is use the middle mouse button and you can zoom in on that. So there is absolutely no reason not to alt tab, and every reason to do so. You would have to have bionic eyes in order to pick up the extremely minute differences that will occur when looking for spots that you have missed as they will often be only 2-3 pixels that are different. Had you got to 100% going from monitor to monitor (which is even worse than a side by side comparison) then I would congratulate you, however, you don't have 100%, in fact you don't even have 98% which is the barest minimum you should have before even thinking of asking others for help, as you are missing vastly huge portions of the map. The fact that you are asking for our help at such an early stage in your title acquisition in itself points to the weakness of the method you are using. If it has to do with Canthan cartography and me, Leighwyn, and Shyft all are telling you the same thing, you can bet that we know what we are talking about and you HAVE to do this.

Friends don't let friends compare side to side.

Alt tab FTW!

I won't have time to look at maps until a film festival is over, and my night shift following immediately afterwards.

BTW: Anyone who is a fan of slasher movies (and even those who aren’t really, but have seen them) must see "Behind the Mask - The Rise of Leslie Vernon" it is awesome. Not yet in wide release, but should be soon. IMDB it.
