I started to, but your maps are too small. I don't know if you have used an image program or a host that shrinks the size of the images, but even though it is only a little bit smaller than what the U maps normally are, it makes a world of difference. The last time I tried to tough it out my eyes nearly burst into frothing fountains of blood.

I need my eyes...

So make em a bit bigger, as close to the actual size as possible, and post em again.

Dang, have I felt like I've been banging my head against a brick wall...err....stone mountain/foggy patches...for weeks. But FINALLY!!!!

Thanks for all the tips and maps in this and the other thread. Somehow I believe mapping Elona is going to be FAR easier, starting from scratch

http://www.litl.sk/files/pictures/gw803.bmp Not sure what gimp is (other than that weird dude in leather that my old roomate use to hide in the basement), but 3% is a massive amount of fog left to uncover. I suggest reading this thread first: Thread

Congratulations to madamesabina, SerenitySilverstar, and DazUltra.

I've got a few days off work now. I'm going to the Australian Zoo in Queensland tomorrow, but I may be able to check a few maps before bed and I will have a bit of time the day after as well.

So if you have 90% or more and you can't get the last bit, please repost your maps and I'll have a look at them. If you have less than 90%, but really can't find more using the thread I posted above, just post your Shing Jea map and I will show you what you are missing from that, and then you might be able to see what the little differences will look like.

oh well will have to do it the hard way. I hate strafing. Did the whole tyria like that and it was really anoying. And yup, gimp is a free graphic editor like pohoshop.

My thread practically gives you the title on a silver platter. If you follow it precisely, there is nothing hard about it.

It would be pointless to point out the areas you need on your map as I have already pointed them out on mine. I can guarantee it without even looking at it. If you need me to prove it, just say so and I'll bet (5 plat) I can easily give you over 30 spots that I have circled on my maps that you don't have on yours.

All you have to do is always hug the walls no matter what. Do that well, hit every area including FA and JQ and clear the spots I have circled on my map = guaranteed title. The only thing I don't do for you is log into your account and move your character myself.

And I don't know what pohoshop is either.

I stopped searching at your gw017 map ,as this will give you more than enough to get your .3%. You could probably get your .3 just from Vizunah Square alone.

Good luck!

I'm not even going to try to wade through 57 pages spanning 5 months.

My question:

Is it possible for a Tyrian to enter the Monastary overlook still? I didn't really go near it during the Festival (which I regret now) and I can't order henchman to zone through and cast recall on them (Like the Eredon Terrace glitch)

If anyone knows about this, or how to get into the Alliance area of St. Anjeka's shrine with the recall trick, some insight would be good.

I'm at 99.1% of Cantha and trying to tackle obvious parts first. I have read Livingston's thread, etc. I just need some answers before I continue.

As far as we know, no.

There may be some exploit to do it, but we don't know of it at this time. In any case you don't need it.

Also if you haven't read this thread, please do so first.

I've already noticed 6 spots on your Shing Jea map, and that was just by glancing at it.

Shing Jea

3 (Also just east of this circle in the little crack. On my map it's not fully clear, as I haven't updated it)
4
8
9
13
19
20
24 (you can fully clear the docks, once more not updated on my map)
25

Kaineng

10 (west of 10 as well)
12 (west section of circle)
14
16
20

You are also missing a large bit in Nahpui Quarter that most people get.

I'm going to stop there, as I don't have any more time to look, but you are missing heaps of spots already pointed out in my maps. Hopefully if you look at the spots I've pointed to, you will see the difference between your areas and the fully cleared areas, and will be able to see a lot of the spots you have missed on the other maps.

Good luck,
Livingston

Silly, maybe, but...

Must I know from the start I want 100% coverage, and explore newbie arena (before entering the monastery), and same with the dojo?

I did not explore those areas fully, and now I want cartographer title. Have I lost already?

With only 98% and having monastery overlook, you are missing an insane amount.

The following are what you are missing on the first couple maps:

Shing Jea

8
9
13
19
20
24 (you can fully uncover the docks, my map hasn't been updated yet)
25
Spot North West of 25 - the NW corner of the mostly permanent green fog.

Kaineng

7
8
9
Just West of 10
12 (west side)
13
14
15
16

I went on to Qinkai, but you were missing nearly the entire Northern Border above Boreas Seabed. I think you can do a better job than that...

Maybe if you take a look at the ones I have pointed out, you will see the differences and be able to notice them on the other maps.

Let me know if you can or can't and I will help further from there.

Most of the spots I've pointed to are either outside the areas I've marked, or they aren't updated on my maps at the moment.

Shing Jea

13 (So many people miss this spot)
19 (You have to look just east of my circle)
24 (The docks can be fully uncovered, I haven't updated my map)
25 (North East corner - there’s a little peninsula there that can be uncovered a bit more)

Kaineng

Possibly (7, 8, 9, you can clear them more than what is on my maps, once again mine haven't been updated.)

You are missing Vizunah Square (Local Corner) it's located under my big white 15.

12 (West Side)
14
16
20

Mount Qinkai

1
5
11
15
16
17 (Looks like you haven't been in Jade Quarry)
18

Unwaking Waters

1 (I don't think you are missing this, but you should avoid comparing screenshots when the Luxon or Kurzick line is pushed way back. Its best if it’s on either side of the unwaking waters mission)
7 (Just North West of)
11
SW of 19 is a little river outlet into the sea. I'm not sure if I have more of it uncovered than you or vice versa, mine is the same as Leighwyn's, but you might have uncovered it more than both of us. I'd be interested in the result if you try to explore it again.

Luxon

16

That's a possible 24 spots that I have marked, so hopefully that will get you your title. If not, then repost your maps and we'll comb through a bit more, hopefully with less Luxon/Kurzick line interference, as I believe I could have missed around 5 possible spots because of it...

Good luck guys

Ramirez, I have to make dinner now, so I'll have to look at yours later. Though I believe it would do you good to look at what shiva was missing, as you probably are missing some of the same areas.

Lilith No. You still have heaps of lead way to get the title. Hope to see you posting later with screen shots of your title. And don't forget to visit my thread; it'll help heaps.

Im at 98.5%. I know that is a lot to ask you guys to help me find, but I am just not sure where to look anymore. I think I need some fresh eyeballs.

MAPS NOW EDITED OUT!

There we are, I hope that is enough data. There are a few things that I see I need.

Shiro won't banish me when I go with henchies, but I WILL get the rest of that banishment area!

What else am I missing? Well, I have updated a couple maps. I am up to 98.7% now, still no response to my previous post. I'll keep plugging along. I took out the maps that I had posted of starter island. Comparison to Livingstons maps showed me no differences. They are still in my original post on page 56 though.

MAPS EDITED OUT!

Well, help would be great guys. Thank you so much.

Quick question re number 24 on Shing Jea Island:

Is it possible to access this village, or can you only view it from the top of the mountains surrounding it?

LsC Unfortunately, there is no way to get down off the mountain to the level of the village on the shore. The only road that seems to lead to the village goes into the mountain underneath Zuuyun Point, and looks like an underground mine entry more than a tunnel at that point. In the game world it might make sense that the village would be reachable by boat, but the PCs have no access to it, and I don't see any updates happening to change that.

Interestingly, the first time I realized this, I thought the pier next to the village was taunting me. It's shaped as the letter "F," and we all know a certain RED ENGINE GO word that starts with it
