Sir Mad
I found more in Shing Jea, Nexus:
On the west of Tumei Village, you can clear a part of the mountain (the blueish part, on the right side - the greensih part cant be cleared).
In Seitung, make sure you cover the whole port, you've forgotten 1 bridge, from where you can clear of small part of the sea and of the monastry overlook.
Also, south of Raisu Garden, there is a very small cloud hard to noticed: it's just at the beginning of the mountain, you should hug the wall either in Sunqua or in minister's Estate to clear it.
Make sure you have visited the arena if you havent as well.
On a side-note I'm desesperate: I have compared all my maps to yours and despite the fact that I seem to have more stuff uncovered than you (well untill you clear that), I stuck at 98.5% :S

Thanks Sir Mad, those helped me too. Now at 98.4%
Also everyone, if you didn't know, you can zoom the minimap with your scroll wheel, this makes it easier to tell which is cloudcover, and which is map area, the map areas are at a much finer pixel resolution when filly zoomed.

Thanks for those tips Sir Mad, that got me up to 99.4%.

For roblethal, the Photoshop Difference trick is nowhere near as effective in Cantha as in Tyria. Unexplored areas would stick out like sore thumbs when using this trick in Tyria. That's because the unexplored texture was a drastically different colour and texture to the explored area. The difference isn't so great in Cantha.

Np, I used your map to check what's missing on mine: 99.0% here now. If you find anything missing, let me now, for I'm pretty I need it too!
I'm going to work on roblethal's now and see if I can find any difference.
EDIT - If you can find a team for Jade Quary, I uncovered one more spot there: when you hug the western/North-western well, you can clear a small part of the mainland above.
roblethal: North West of Arborstone, there is a spot you can clear.
There's a whole place not explored north of Ferndale (midway between HzH and Aspenwood)
You can clear more in Morostav trail (go from the Archieves and hug the eastern wall towards Unwaking)
In Rhea's Crater, you can uncover the 3rd greenish thing on the right side (is it supposed to be a ship? a hill?) - I've just noticed this one: hug the eastern wall as far as needed: it's pretty hard to find where you can do that from (go from Seafarer's Rest).
Also in Rhea's Crater (go from Leviathan's Pit this time), there is a small part missing on the east of the ship (top of the map).

Nexus, Thanks for clearing that up about the difference blending. Glad to know it wasn't my eyes
I'll be using your maps as a comparison to mine and see if i notice anything. (for both you and me)
Sir Mad, are your maps posted somewhere, I don't think I saw them in the thread. And I'm almost certain I'm missing at least a .1 in Jade Quarry, only managed to get in once on the Kurz side and was under alot of heat, so I didn't adeqately explore it, methinks
EDIT: ok, using a better comparison technique, I've noticed I'm missing about 6 spots on Shing Jea alone. Nex I noticed only 2, but I think those are the two that Mad already pointed out. (aside from the Monestary Overlook). I'll post back after I've compared all your maps w/ mine in PS.

Sir Mad
Here is my map of Shing Jea: http://athelias.biz/guildwars/map1.JPG
I believe it to be complete (for tyrian chars).
And the mainland: http://athelias.biz/guildwars/map2.JPG
Let me know if you find something missing: I have 99.0%.

OK I've photoshoped all of Nexus' maps w/ mine and noticed alot I'm missing there. I'll start splicing your in too Sir Mad to see the differences,
Nexus, heres what I noticed you need when comparing my map w/ yours (they may have already been mentioned):
-Dragons throat mission- just start the mission and run around in there
-Altrum ruins mission- SW most corner (large spot)
-Largest island in the south of unwaking waters, you can clear that.
-East of Maatu Keep (enter Sunjiang from Maatu and head west)
-southern tip of Maishang hills (driectly east of zone to Archapelos)
-Imperial Sanctum, you can clear the banishment area a little more (i've only been banished to the one place compare with my map to see what i mean)
-Shenzen Tunnels, near the zone to Skyway, you can clear the northside of that more
Mad,
-South of edge of Napui Quarter, where the map bends
-Shiro banishment area
-SW corner of Eternal Grove explorable (large spot)
-possibly the SW corner of Amatz Basin (our maps look slightly different)
-Largest island in the south of Unwaking Waters, you can clear that.
-southern tip of Maishang hills (driectly east of zone to Archapelos) (looks like you can clear a bit more)
-also east most wave of Unwaking waters
-Jade Quarry(Luxon) you clear more of the large mountain on the east side (north most island)
-Directly NOrth of Bai Passu beach (might need to be in the outpost, or that small area just outside it to get this)
-eastern side of the map, just outside hatchery (on land, just north of the beach)
-also when compared to my map, it looks like you may be able to clear a little more on the east most side of Shing Jea (South of Zen Daijin, wall hug your way to the pier)
GL guys, both your maps gave me a huge list to work on
I'll post the outcome once I've cleared all our mismatches (currently at 98.5%)
Also, from where did you clear that snowy-green area north of Zen Daijun, I've had no luck with it.

Sir Mad
I'm pretty sure it was while hugging the wall in Panjiang - I remember I had hard time finding the right place...
And thanks for the great list: I may find my 1% remaining here

Just a quicky before bed to say thanks roblethal, your Altrum tip got me up to 99.8%.
I tried Dragon's throat, but that doesn't count as far as I can tell.
Here's hoping for 100% tomorrow!
Once I have that, it's just a matter of capping the remaining elites (I'm up to 134), then I'm "Kind of a Big Deal"

Worthy yes, but wasting all that time to find out that it doesn't max out is.....well use your imagination.

Bugger, I suppose that means I'll just have to work on the drunkard title then :E

Thanks guys, just hit 100%:
http://www.atpt95.dsl.pipex.com/Guil...ublewhammy.jpg I'll piece together and upload my complete map later on Edit: As promised, here it is: http://www.atpt95.dsl.pipex.com/Guil...100percent.jpg Sir Mad
Grats Nexus, and thanks for the map!
roblethal, the Naphui Quarter part is strange: I'm pretty you're missing a part of it (south-eastern part, the black area). Our maps look a bid different for the south-western part, but I definitely don't know who is missing something (if one of us is): I going to try to figure that out. EDIT - I've checked that: I had the south-eastern corner missing; but the whole south-eastern edge caught my attention when comparing our maps: maybe you wanna get there and see if you can't clear more - I'm not sure. Note: the quickest way is to enter the mission and use the teleporter on the right side - then you'll have only 1 boss to kill and a few mobs. Btw, I cant find how to clear the spot north of Paasu Reach - any chance your alliance has controlled the place? It seems to be accessible from the private area... roblethal
No we don't control that outpost, nor have I been in any area that is closed except to alliance members. I don't remember how I got it, only that our maps are different. Perhaps you need to find a tricky spot in the outpost, or you may want to try hitting it from the north (though I don't think its close enough). Try heading around to that stage where you have to kill that Luxon Assassin boss, and wall hug around there, also looks like a small inlet on the west side of the hills, there may be a little squeze spot there).
weez
Gents, I just got my 100% and it wouldn't have been possible without the help on this forum! I used also quite a lot one of those big resoulution maps (cant remember whose it was) and specific tips helped to uncover the very last bits.
I though this title would be easier, it was in fact a pain in the ***. So thanks to everyone on this forum, especially those who contributed the most (we all know who they are ![]() roblethal
I agree that I thought this title would be easy, especially with a Cantha character. Before the shut-down last night I got to 99.8%. If I can get into Jade Quarry, I think I will be done, since I have to clear a bit on both the east and west edges. However I have other differences that I can hit in the mean time, and a few areas that I can't seem to get either.
1. In Gayla Hatchery Both Mad and Nexus have cleared a small island south of the hilly area just east of Leviathan pits, I've hugged from the north and south and cant seem to get any part of this little rock island to show. 2. A there is a part of the mountain, south-west of Boreas Seabed that I can't clear. It's the area with all the Yeti, bot Mad and Nexus have a piece of the mountain between the 2 waterfalls cleared that I can't reach. :S Anyway, there are others, and I'll be hitting them as soon as I can, I just wish JQ was easier to get into. ngoducthang
Hey guys i'm at 99.2% and have been trying to uncover the rest but i can't seem to find it, I am using the compare method but I think my eyes aren't that great so I can't seem to make out the other spots i'm missing. Please help me out. I've made 2 editions of the map, one is clear clear but it's 12.3mB while the other is ok, but it's a small 1.3mB, the links are below please if you have time help me out, thank you!

Finally achieved the goal of Grand Master for both Tyria and Cantha with my Tyrian character! -Joe
Sir Mad
ngoducthang:
I just have had a look at Shing Jea and I've noticed 2 spots missing: you can clear more of the eastern side in Zei Dajun, and in the Lagoon, hug again the edge of the small island: you can another small island from there, south of it. There may be more: I havent really checked it in details. Check my map of Shing Jea, I'm pretty it's the most you can get with a Tyrian Char. I'm checking the mainland atm. So far: - Hug the northern, eastern and southern walls of Vizunah: you can prolly clear a bit more (and there is defintely one part missing south of the map). - In Thannakai Temple, hug the eastern wall, north of the map. - In Naphui (common miss): you can clear more of the black part, SE of the map. I'll edit this post when I'll have found more. I hope to find my 0.1% missing with your map ![]() roblethal I got my Grandmaster just now, without getting into Jade Quarry again for some missed corners. Oddly enough, the last 0.1% popped up in the middle or Boreas Seabed on my way to check out a wall. I will post my completed map shortly, as well as another one with areas I know still need to be completed. Thanks everyone for the help, especially Sir Mad and Nexus, since your two maps allowed me to compare and find my missing spots!! Here's the maps, first one is what I got 100% with. The second has places marked that I believe can be uncovered, based on others maps. 100% Canthan Born 100% Canthan Born with noted missed spots ngoducthang
TY so much Sir Mad, i'll go try it out now =), update on the outcome, and GL with the 0.1%
Doing the Zen and the Nahpui black spot i've uncovered .3% now at 99.5 and trying the vinuzah now. One thing though you said north east of Tannahkai but i couldn't uncover nything there... tried it couple of times back and forth nothing or it's probably too small to make .1%. nvtheless TY Sir Mad hope you're able to find more cause i can't see a thing the only difference from the map that i saw was the island in lagoon, the rest even though i uncover it looks the same to me =(, maybe it's time i get glasses =( update: 99.7% now =) update: #2 99.8% from quarry Sir Mad
I finally found the spot missing: this damn spot north of Boreas! For all those looking for it, you get it from the outpost, not from the explorable nor the mission: just wander around, cross a few bridges, and you'll get it from there. With the other 0.1% I got from Shiro, that's now 100%. Now I guess I gotta work on my 3% missing in Tyria...
Thanks a bunch to the people who help me. And grats again to Nexus and roblethal! PS: np, ngoducthang. So far i've only checked Kaineng City. I'll check tomorrow if there are any difference between our maps for the Jade Sea and the Forest. If you havent found the spot pointed on Shing Jea, it may have been due to the JPG compression of your map that made me think there is a difference - I'm not sure, i'll check that again tomorrow: but now I need a break ![]() I'll try to post my 100% map as soon as possible. Side-note: big thanks to the person next to me on the screenshot: she helped me get banished - I wouldn't have this title without her :P death fuzzy
that map is very helpful. thanks
ngoducthang
you da man, gratz on your 100%, i'll keep looking hopefully i'll be done, else ur help is still needed =)
EatMoreBread
I'm at 97.7% and would appreciate any help people can give me. I've looked through these forums and using other people's help and jpegs I've baby stepped closer and closer to 100% but I can't quite get there.
Here's a few minimap shots of my map to show you the places I have. - Since I'm level 20, I can only get into the Shing Jea Arena waiting area, not the actual mission itself. - I can't finish up with Monastery Overlook since there's no way to get back in after the training quest is completed. Shing Jea Island: Mainland: Echovald Forest: Jade Sea: Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. SaucE

this goes out to EatMoreBread you are missing a few, im at 99.0% my self but ive seen these spots on other maps and some i do have!
White and Black means i have it, just white circle means ive seen it on other maps but cant reach it my self...hopes this helps if not im sorry, im having lots of trouble my self even tho i know a bunch of spots i cant seem to get the uncoverd, and i SIT in those spots i want...lol ill be be posting my crapy maps soon. http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j8...t=9c099e2b.jpg Shyft the Pyro
Yajuu: I got the spot in Rhea's Crater you've circled. What you should do is start off from Leviathan Pits, enter Crater, eliminate all Outcasts in the northwestern part and then hug the north wall while heading east. The missing piece should pop up in a corner, against the jutting cube of jade in the pathway heading east along the north wall.
You can also cap Healing Burst there while you're at it And the area north of the Boreas Seabed mission should be accessible from town, as previously posted. valakivi
im at 98.9 and still cant get into jade quarry on either side? im wondering how much % is there...
valakivi
i cant get into quarry!!! hwo much % is that? im at 99.2 btw
Yajuu
There could be up to 0.2% there, some people say theres discovery along 2 of the walls, i also cant get in there lately but ill proabley just get 8 people on eeach side from my guild, its huge...
Btw thanks, Shyft...im at 99.2% now...just 0.8% left...that i cant find...well if i count jade quarry and im right about 0.2% in there then i will be at 99.4% before the end of the day. SaucE
I am now stuck at 99.9%
Shyft the Pyro
If you want to uncover the Jade Quarry, I propose we group up and enter it from the side that has the least players. How about this coming Sunday, 8PM EST?
(I also could use a "banishment buddy" to uncover a bit of Imperial Sanctum, but that's more of a private rather than a communal matter ![]() EDIT: Quick comment for those having trouble with uncovering the whole Dragon's Gullet outpost. I was very frustrated earlier today trying to uncover the southern part of it because the character's location arrow wasn't showing up on the minimap at all inside the outpost. The missing piece did pop up when I walked out of Dragon's Gullet and walked backwards to Dragon's Gullet zone point without entering. valakivi

W00t!!! I did it!!! Finally got 100% of Cantha with my Tyrian Warrior!!! Now to start on 100% of Tyria!!!
Swinging Fists
Sorry I haven't read this entire thread, but I have a simple question. Is it possible to get 100% of Cantha with a Tyrian born character ? Has someone done it ? Thanks.
