Allow me to repeat.....

CLICK if this sounds like you: "I have only XX% but have everything mapped except these two small spots! How is that possible? Shouldn't I have like YY%? What else am I possibly missing?!?"

It's quick, it's painless, it works, and best of all it can possess all those wonderful qualities while also being a completely independent effort.

You don't have to use my own map which is linked in that post, use whichever you feel like using...but please use the method I outlined. It will allow you to find your own missing pieces, which relieves a nice burden from those who quite often are happy to help out.

Let me give an advice also. Don't have to watch maps, just edge walk everything. Painful? Yes. You need it? Almost. I edge walked all the kurzick side and the city(except vizunah local) and almost everything(except 1-2 area) in luxon side.

This thread did help me get my 100% on a Tyrian.

Thank you, all.

Yay, I just got 100% as a Tyrian char as well! Thanks to everyone who made this possible - Leighwyn, TC Fish, Carinae Dragonblood, and a bunch of others, they know who they are (that includes you, Avarre).

The easiest way to explore a zone for me is to just stick to one side of a wall. I have provided an image below to show you what I mean...

As you can see, I sticked to one side of a wall, and I outlined that whole entire zone and ended back up where I started. Now all you gotta do is fill in the center blurriness, or if there is any. Just a small tip that I found useful for some people who have trouble exploring such areas.

Yeah, too bad I can't show both in-game, but I can show both here in the forums. :P

Some tips:

- Wall-hug all outposts, even if it doesn't look like there's anything to uncover.
- There are tons of fogged areas where you have to stand at exactly the right spot to uncover them. You're bound to miss many of these the first time through, so don't be certain you have an area completely uncovered until you've compared it using Leighwyn's method...
- ...but even with that method, it can be hard to see differences. When you're less than 1% away from grandmaster, chances are, all the remaining fog is in little dots strewn all over continent. Examine every area extremely carefully, as the general dull tones of the Canthan map makes fog hard to see.

I finally managed to reach 100% with my Tyrian Character today and am proud to join the ranks of those with both Grandmaster titles :-)

Many thanks to TC Fish and Leighwyn, whose 100% maps helped me with both continents.

One tip from me. If you are struggling to see the edges on the map, try increasing the full screen gamma adjustment in the video options in the game. This helped me to see the last 0.2% that I was missing.

Gamma adjustment does not work in windowed mode though.

Good luck to those of you still shooting for this title.

Currently at 99.6%, curious as how to get the green circle in the first image, and the first red circle in the second image, help greatly appreciated.
