Special Thanks to u guys asking stuff here, helped me a bit for my own map
and to Theos, took the time to photoshop the thing for the last %

due to the new update, i managed to get the final 0.2% w/o exploring Shiro's map, a spot on Shing jea and in Jade Quarry

From what ive seen the Arena is worth 0.4% !!

Hey guys, I'm at 98.7 and driving myself crazy. The old photoshop difference layers trick doesn't seem to work as well as it did in Tyria. Can one of you 100%ers go over my map for me and point out what I'm missing?
Here's my map. Sorry it's large, but I thought that it'd be helpful to have as much clarity as possible.

I went through this thread pretty thoroughly and didn't catch anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.

Do Tyria starters and Cantha starters have different requirements for the 100% map completion?

I'm at 98.8% and humped every wall in every area I could think of.

The one map I've been comparing mine to http://www.directupload.net/images/060509/2m92txGZ.jpg

The only real difference I can see at this point is the part of the Monastary Overlook that you would have to do the pointless tutorial in order to map out. So I'm wondering if Cantha starters are required to get that piece.

Use one of the maps created using a Tyrian character instead of the one you linked to, which was made by a Canthan. Yes, it is a 100% map, but it is missing things that Tyrians traditionally (maybe after being granted arena access things are different) cannot miss and still achieve 100%. Thus, their maps will be more complete. As far as different requirements, my best guess would be no. You're probably just missing tiny areas of fog throughout.

The point is that my character is a Cantha starter, but missed that part because I skipped the tutorial. I figure I should be comparing it to the map of another Cantha starter.

The arena gave me .4%, but might have been a fluke.

I really need a definate answer to my original question so let me put it like this...

Are there any Canthan starters who got 100% of the Cantha map but skipped the tutorial?

Okay, well only one of two things can be possible here in this scenario. Either Tyrians and Canthans have different requirements to complete the map, or they left approximately a 0.5% margin of error.

So far, any Cantha starters I've seen that completed the map have done the tutorial. I don't want assumptions here because I've already made plenty of my own, I need real confirmation.

FINALLY!!! Found that last little piece when I was about to give up and post the map here for help. Thanks so much to LuxA, Leighwyn and TCFish for the maps and help and Rahl for the encouragement at Jade Quarry. I felt it only right to take the screen shot at Jade Quarry since it was the most difficult spot to scout since you can never get in there.

Now I need to go back and finish Tyria where I started. I only got 97.5% there. -Joe

Janus: you don't have to do the tutorial, tyrian or not, to achieve 100%. I am basing this on the fact that the 100% canthan map posted on page one of this thread has A LOT of spots missing, which easily make up for the amount one would miss if they skipped training.

Indeed you're right Leigh, I now have 100% as well. Much thanks to all the people who contributed useful info to this thread.

Note to others: The last 3% will likely just be a matter of wall humping.

I somehow got banished to the South end once in Imperial Sanctum, along with a henchie. There seems to be no way back after you get banished there, apart from your teammates killing the construct.
With that said, anyone know how to replicate this incident?
