Firstly a thanks to all who made the "A Guide to..........." you guys are awesome!

I'm currently at 99.9%. I know damn well which areas I need - banishing by Shiro/ a tiny bit in the Unwaking Waters mish (kurz).

What would be lovely though is if some wonderful person from the alliance that owns Eredon Terrace would invite me behind there?? Lol, yes I know it's lazy, but rather that than having to face numbnutz again!!

EDIT : Ignore the above, I went for a scrape in Bukdek and the Marketplace, just got GMC

Im wondering if I should map cantha or not, because I didnt get the festival event/boardwalk portion of the map? Will I still be able to get 100%?

Well Ghost Knight, I'd say "yes".

I got my 100% without fully mapping the area that Shiro banishes ya to, and a "commonly missed" area on the Unwaking Waters mission (Kurz). My warrior is Tyrian btw.

I did get the boardwalk area, and perhaps I'm wrong but I think that possibly the area that Shiro banishes you to and the festival/arena/boardwalk area could cancel each other out??

Dear Forum Readers!

I'd like to ask you for a map comparison to reveal the remaining 3,4% I still need for the Canthan GMC. I know that I'm missing the Jade Quarry but I think that's all I know about. Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: the map is at 1280x1024 resolution
PSS: Now I'm at 98,7: checked vizunah square (and got to local's outpost), checked fort aspenwood, explored the glitch beneath eredon terrace, explored a bit in Naphui quarters, a little bit also unfogged in sunjiang district and xaquang skyway, and in shenzun tunnels as well. I still need most of the Jade Quarry which i wasnt able to explore from the two outposts, updated map is uploaded.
Thx in Advance
PS2: I've explored the Jade Quarry and a little fog in the docks, now I'm at 99,3% The map's been refreshed Thx for the compare in advance

I have a really dumb problem. I need to get into Vizunah Square (LOCAL quarter). Ive tried going thru the Undercity and to the entrance of Viz Square, but the entrance was blocked. I tried getting the Mayhem in the Market quest, but i guess prophecies chars cant get it... theres gotta be some easy way to get in.

Thanks so much, I really need it to complete 100%!!

Ok... how do u take a screenshot of your entire map, but MUCH bigger. I can easily zoom out and take a screenshot, or zoom in and take get a portion of my map... but how do i get my full map, but with the "zoomed in" size?

How do you go to the small portion at the upper left corner of the Unwaking water (kurz)? Also, when a group conquers a town, u cant access the back part of that town, will it be included in your mapping of cantha? Can you get 100% without these?

Thanks!

Actually I guess you probably can get 100% but in the Eredon Terrace's exclusive area using a glitch you can explore about 0.4% and the only thing I had to do is asking a guy standing in the area to invite me till I explore. Thx for that invitation ^^ :-) And Good Luck getting your title.

Just got a question about 2 areas...

#1: Imperial Palace (Shiro's banishing)- Basically ive wall-hugged the hell out of the place where Shrio banishes you. And I still cant get the area fully explored? Im pretty sure Shiro doesnt banish u somewhere else.. but i dont know how else to get the area. Im missing a bit of the top part in the banish area. I would upload my map but unfortunatly my uploading source is under maintainence.

#2: Raisu Palace- I hear there is an area where you can use Necrotic Traversal and teleport somewhere for a few extra %. What exactly is this? Ive tried to figure it out but i havent had any luck. A map would be perfect, if i could just get the location marked on there. I mustve died 20 times trying to figure it out.


Please and thanks ahead of time!

You may have noticed that no one has been checking maps in here for a long time. I was one of the last to do so and have not checked maps here for a few months.

As such, you may be interested in the following thread:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10112904

I explain why I haven't been checking maps and what I am currently doing in regards to map checking.

Nice service, but it's too pricy, for me.
So if someone could post his or her zoomed out map, BEFORE (immediatly after you press M) starts moving, I'd greatly appreciate it. Since the other maps that have been posted were too foggy.

Sir Krizs
1 obvious spot is the newbie area arena, that was what got my last little bit.

I had thought that was how I had taken my zoomed out maps on my thread, but perhaps I'm wrong. I'll redo them for you and upload them as soon as possible.

My thread is once more open for buisness:

Take particular note that you should not post your screenshots in the thread. Send them to me through private message on this board.

These are the three areas I am having problems getting. Not to mention trying to map the Jade Quarry mission. I am stuck at 99.4%

You have to use an exploit to uncover this area. You do so by using Necrotic Travel to beam up onto a bridge that you can't normally access. You can find a thread on it in this section of the forum, but you will need to search for it.

The first spot in the second picture is achieved by being banished by Shiro.

The second spot is described above.

For the third spot, the part on the right is called the monastery overlook, and you have to get this at the very beginning of the game in the tutorial for Canthans. If you are not Canthan then you will not have access to this area, but you do not need it to get 100%. There are also certain events like the Dragon Festival (and possibly Canthan New Year) that will open this area to non-Canthans.

The part on the left is uncovered from Shing Jea Monastery by hugging a corner right behind the storage area.

You can get into the Jade Quarry by going to my thread here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10039148

Directions to all of these areas are covered (besides the exploit) in my guide in post 3, which is stickied in this section.

Hmm, for some reason that thread link links only to the main page. Bugged?

Maybe a link to the first post will work...


[edit] Yup, that did the trick ^^

I read on a one of the fomums about the Raisu Palace exploit being fixed. Was that the only way getting this part of the map?

[edit] Yup, that did the trick ^^ Arg! >_< I have to make sure that I have the following link:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10112904

See the "t" after "php?" I believe that's the tag for thread. If there's a "p" instead I believe that is the tag for page, which you have used for your link as well. I think with that one, as soon as the thread changes pages, then it will brake the link. So yours works atm, because it is new, but once it changes page position, it probably will be a dead link to.

So to all if you want my thread, please go here:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10112904

Should be the last time I have to post it for awhile...

Heh. I don't really know any php, so what I posted was based on assumption

I was guessing that "p" was for "post."

Hey all who are donig the cartograhper title!
I started cartographer in cantha recently, and for my guildies i made the following video tutorial on how to use the difference method explained on the first page of this thread, so if anyone doesnt get the walkthrough maybe this will help

The program i used is Fireworks 4 from macromedia, but im absolutely certain that The Gimp (free) can do the same thing, so just give it a quick download

http://www.mfoot.co.uk/forum/uploads...pher_title.wmv

Hope this helps

Hunter

ps, i'm on 99.8% of cantha from using this method!
the maps i used were TC Fishes, as i find them useful and easy to locate!
Any compression and wierdness was because i filmed in widescreen and had to compress to 4:3 in wmp :P

(posted this in the tyrian explorer forum also)

Hiho,

I'm up to 99.3% on the Cantha map. I know I got a little bit left around the training area on Shing Jea, but can anyone look if I missed other areas I'm not aware of?

Thanks in advance.
