I give up...I hoped I could do this with all the help you people already provided, but I am stuck

I am Tyrian, got to 99% using Livingstones guide, but my eyes are failing me, I dont find any more spots (except the banishing spot in the last mission and the spot near UC that cant be reached anymore).

I was hoping I could avoid bothering others, but I am going mad!
It would be my 1st cartographer title, so I am dieing to get it

I havent used any of the exploits yet, putting that off in hope I wont need it

So here are pics of all areas, if anyone could take a look, it´d be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi all I'm on 99.7% and I am really beginning to believe I'll never achieve this. If anyone has the time to take a look at my map (1024 - lvl 10 compression) it would be amazingly appreciated. Cheers in advance.

Finally found using the two layers in photoshop and hiding one allowed me to find missing areas so all is done :-D

I'm possitive there is some kind of bug since they 'buried' the undercity.

I'm missing EXACTLY the percentage corresponding to the Skyway, I've grinded every single corner of the map. Four times. An I have been in all cities and outposts and grinded the wall there too. I've been in the monastery outskirts while Dragon festival. I've been in both competitive missions and all challenge ones. I've been banished by shiro more than 10 times and grinded the place. I've cleared all maps and all mosnters while clearing. And even found amber and jadeite from drops. Imagine how many mosters I have killed only for that title.

I'm stuck at 98.6%.

I've got Elonian 100% in 4 days. FOUR DAYS, without hugging walls and with a Tyrian character.

Now how come I'm stuck at 98.6%?

They should add a way to 'recalculate' exploration or something like that.
I'm starting to have an urge to learn Voodoo bad magic due to frustation.

Hi all,

I just recently finished my Elona GMC map, and that makes three GMC titles. Since I got the first Tyria one, I've been writing guide posts for friends with screenies of my maps, only in sections rather than the whole thing at once. The smaller images can be helpful for some approaches to finding the missing bits.

My friend, and the site admin, was kind enough to give me permission to leave links here in case anyone else finds these helpful.

my Tryian Grandmaster Cartographer guide
my Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer guide (mostly just maps)
my Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer guide (again, mostly just maps)

I haven't put anything naughty (that I know of) in the specific post pages, but if you go exploring around further please note that they're on a site that's:not entirely about Guild Wars not entirely in English not entirely fit for children or the squeamish or the politically correct
Hope it helps, and best of luck to everyone out there working on these titles!
Cheers,
Luny

You can't get in there, but you don't need it either.

Have a look at my cartography thread, it's sticked in this same section.

I'm on 97% exactly now and I can't seem to find anywhere that I need

I know I need bits around the jade quarry, but I have absolutely no idea otherwise. I'll attempt to post a picture at some point...

yes many times and I have been to the areas you suggested (thats how I got to 99.7-----we had a big discussion about my only posting 5 images per post a bunch of pages and months ago.......) I am missing a dot north of atrium ruins and the area around shiro, I have revisited many areas that have been suggested.....most to no avail......would really like to get that secret area of the palace, but I am just too stupid to get the nasteys to follow me back out of the area and get them to go down the stairs so I can kill them in the right place (I even tried to flag my henchies to die in the right place, but that didnt work either).....ah well, me female and blonde, me not get it.

I will try to pm you ingame, but I play at some wierd hours on the american servers.....

I don't know if this has been discussed earlier, but I haven't seen it here...I got full .4% of my last .5% from a glitched area behind Eredon Terrace.

Quote:

Eredon Terrace: If you are part of the alliance that owns this town, you can access a glitched area behind the exclusive area that allows you to enter the outskirts of the town. Although the area explored is permanently in fog on the map, it counts for a few tenths of exploration. Alternatively, you can run outside the town and attack the Resurrection Shrine priest or agro a group of enemies to the Resurrection Shrine, then using Death's Charge, Aura of Displacement, Recall or Return on the merchant that flees after he has entered the town will teleport you into the town area without zoning in. You will find the door barring the exclusive area closed, but you can walk right through it, accessing both the exclusive area as well as the glitched area behind. This was Borrowed from GuildWiki's grandmaster guide.

Been working hard for that 100%. I am now at 99.9% and I just know that this is the last spot I need. But I can't seem to get to it! Could anyone tell me how to get to the area that I have circled. It's that spot right on the river! Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you

Hello every body, i have read most of the post here and i find allways the same problem. Please Post a link to a window zoom out with clouds at the start in bmp format in 1280*1024. I have found many many many map in 1024*768 in JPEG some 1280*1024 JPEG but none 1280*1024 bmp at the first cloud mouvement. Please, could a grandmaster tyrian post such a map?
Thx.

The delay before the printscreen must be close to zero, else the clouds move and degrade the comparison.

I'm now on 98.5%, and really stuck. I know I need a small amount of the jade quarrey and shing jea, but I don't think those areas alone with give me the 1.5% I need

I've been trying to compare my map to the finished one, and I can't find any other places at all, so they must be tiny.

Argh! So frustrating!

Erg, I do not know if you did the tutorial. If you didn;t that could be your problem, tutorial gives you .5 or .05 exploration, just a thought.

Hey guys

I've been mapping for some months now and i'd really appreciate your help. I've used the other thread to try and map it myself, but it just isn't working for me. Im at 99.5 and i'd really just like to end this obsession. If anyone could please point out some spots im missing i'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
