How is it possible to fully explore the "Shiro banishment" area? Months ago the general viewpoint was that Shiro only banishes players to the northern area.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10032479

BTW, at only 96.1% you are missing an insane amount of area to need someone else to show you what you need. Even by doing basic wall hugging through all the areas of the game, you should come out with close to 98% and where as 2% may not seem like much, it's truly a massive amount of unexplored area.

Where did you get that map from? I don't think it's actually a real player's map, as there are areas that are cleared that just don't get cleared, such as the NW area.
Livingston Thanks for the answer, i am pretty sure you are right. The map i linked before can be found here(with some other nice maps):

Currently I am doing a long string of night shifts, so I'm finding it difficult to get time to check maps, but I will try to do some as time permits.

Now on to what you are missing:

Shing Jea:

24 (See this map )
25 You are missing the NE corner at that tiny jut of land.
The area between 24 and 25
You are missing a tiny section on the coast between 23 and 24

Kaineng:

You've cut off too much of the North area for me to check properly.

10
14
15
16
You are still missing the two areas East of 3, which are very easy to get.
17

That's all I have time for at the moment. I'll check out some more after work.

Edit:

To broodijzer:

Just a quick glance at your map showed me that you were missing:

Shing Jea:

1
Spot south of 1
3
8
13
19
20
24
And a spot between 15 and 20 in the mountains.

That’s more than 6 spots so the updated rules will apply to you. If you don't know what I am talking about see this post Here, under the tips section and my own personal requirements. I have set this up specifically because I don't have much time lately and thus want to get to everyone I can.

Edit:

To Lafayette:

Shing Jea:

7
24 map

Couldn't check very thoroughly, but will do more later.

Oy, I'm going to be late for work, if I don't quit...

You need to go to my guide and read the description of how to post your maps in this thread. It's on post number two. They should end up looking very similar to the maps that I have posted with all the circles on them. You can also use the maps that these other guys have posted as reference.

That's all I have time for at the moment. I'll check out some more after work. I went ahead and got the little "F" shaped dock that is #24. I tried to get what you said I missed between 23&24 again, no amout of running back and forth seemed to reveal it any further. I did get to see the edge of the map on radar a few times though.
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2290/dotstd7.jpg

I finally went and got banished! Woohoo! I also went and got that spot near #3 that you mentioned. I'll have to run around the area where #17 is again just to be sure.
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/2635/kainengzb2.jpg

I do in fact have 14 15 and 16, perhaps my maps are just poor quality.

I'm up to 99.2 now, yay!

Actually it did, you probably just can't see the difference, and the spot was so small that it didn't give you any percentage.

I'm up to 99.2 now, yay! No you just think that you do, but you don't. You have to take in to account how many maps I have actually examined, which I imagine is now well over 100, so I do know the difference between missing areas and poor map quality. There are some cases where I'm not sure, but I then mention the fact.

This one I'm 100% sure on.

Take a look at the show case windows:

Mine's on the right.

You should be able to see the difference there.

14 is actually to the right of the circle on my maps, I just haven't had the chance to update it.

Good luck!

Any luck with my maps? I've compared them again with the master maps and think i've spotted a couple more bits which I'll check again, but I can't see enough to make up the 1.3% I'm missing, thanks.

I've gone through the "most often missed spots" but can't really tell if I've done some of them because of the colours.

Any pointers in the right direction would be great.

edit - I've now uncovered the small pier on the north of SJ island, by the village at the bottom of the cliff.

Shing Jea:

1
8
9
10
13
20
25

As well as the spot in the NW on this map

That's eight spots you were missing, thus you fall under my rules for examining maps as explained at the end of post two on my thread

You will need to show me a new spot on the Kaineng map that you have uncovered since you took the screenshots for this post, and I will then check the rest for you.

Once again, I only have these new rules because I am extremely limited on time and barely have enough to eat and get descent sleep between shifts. On my days off, they may or may not apply depending on how much time I have to spare.

If you truly pour over the maps and cannot find anything else at all, then let me know and I will help on my next day off.

Good luck!

You've cut your map off too close on the East side so I can't check #19

Kaineng:

7
8
15 (Especially the east side)
16
20

I was going to point out some areas I saw in my Mount Qinkai area, but I believe you are clearing the areas as you go and haven't explored that area yet, which is why you didn't show most of Shiro's area as well correct?

Thanks. Shing Jea:

Kaineng:

7
8
9 (map)
10 (Compare the SE corner of my circle)
12 (A bit in the west area)

That’s eight for Kaineng, so you are in the same boat as warren_kn up above. I'll need to see a new spot you've uncovered from one of the other maps before I continue to check yours.

Thanks a lot Livingston, you have a better eye for this then me =o. And yeah I'm clearing the map in parts otherwise I get too confused.. I just found a glitch (the recall glitch) that gave me .5 and it inspired me to do the rest =p

P.S. I hadn't explored 7-8 because I'm not up to mapping Raisu yet, thanks though It's actually through the outpost, which is why most people miss it.

The third post of my thread explains how to get to all the areas I have circled.

Well I've been comparing maps for about three hours now (harder to do when you are sleepy), and as is, I've drastically cut into my sleeping time before my next shift, so I'll have to call it a night/day. I will do more when next I have time.

See you then.
