Majesty's Rest Map Completion Question

Ramsay Scottish · October 4, 2020 at 1:49 AM

Hello, I'm pretty new to GW1 and I'm brand new to this website. (So I apologize if I am doing anything wrong.) I was searching the forums to see if there was anyone who already asked this, but I did not find anything.

I am using Borderless Cartography Made Easy mod and it's been working really well so far. I have been able to uncover every piece of map so far, up to Henge of Denravi, except for one small piece in Majesty's Rest on the top of the Western side. I have tried wall-hugging multiple times both directions, but to no avail. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious or if this is a particularly hard spot. I've attached a screen snip below. I know it's not necessary to get every small piece, but it feels like this little sliver is mocking me. (BTW, I'm a Warrior/Ranger and I have not reached War in Kryta yet.)

Thank you very much for any info!

You sometimes have to do weird things like walk backwards or sideways into walls or do a 360. Using the toolbox mini map with the cartography mod also helps. It shows you all the nooks and crannies you don’t see otherwise

Another thing to try for troublesome spots is to avoid going too quickly. It's possible that you can go too quickly for the server to register you being where the client is showing you being, so if you find a nook that seems like it should pop a bit of map out wait there for a couple of seconds to make sure.

Thanks for the help! I'll try them out! Usually I try to go slow, but this time it hasn't worked for me. I'm looking into the Toolbox mini map now, I have not heard about it before.

I could explore that spot just now by standing in the spot that is closest to it (see screen) while pressing W for at least 2 seconds.

I found out its your camera that is actually the key--when you are at a spot, spin your camera around so you get all the angles and it might just pick up spots that you just cant seem to get (so I usually go to the area, spin, walk a short bit, spin, rinse and repeat).

I did this while standing at Praise's location and it worked perfectly! Thank you!

Some times it can be tedious to hit just the right spots. you got this!
