Guild Wars 2

I am on my 5 or maybe 6th Alt. I am doing the map in a logical fashion and every bloody time I get close to the end and I have a missing POI !!!!! I am now convinced the game hides it from me so I have to spend ages searching on the map to find it. Mind you I might just need new glasses

Whisper base maybe?

It happens to me often as well. Even when I did maps in a group we often ended up missing one or two. a few things that help:
a: whenever you complete a task look back. the map shows with dotted lines where you went. Did you forgot something that is reachable with a lil backtracking.
b: I always visit the heart-npc after completing a heart. Not only do they offer very nice things, but also they are often near a PoI.
c: if you missed one in the end this is a great way to do and find it:
- go to full screen map
- click the lil eye on the top left corner
- Uncheck everything but the bottom one (exploration)
- Now study the map while clicking the bottom one on and off. This flashes the things on the map needed for exploration making it more difficult to look over it. Don’t forget to enable all the checkmarks when your done.

What this guy said sounds like the problem. Check Chantry of Secrets. Go to Bloodtide Coast, there is a portal on Stormbluff Isle that will take you there.

The OP is in my opinion not talking bout one poi for world completion, but everytime he does a single map he ends up missing 1 poi to get map completion and wants tips on how to prevent that.

Maybe this site can help to see wich PoI u miss (per map).
Though, i dont know if the maps r updated with newly added WP’S and PoI’s.

If you’re anything like me and find yourself getting distracted from your intended path by events/jump puzzles/friends/interesting geography it might help to make a note (mental or otherwise) of where you were and where you were going.

I’ve often found when I’ve missed a POI and can’t find it it’s because I had been on my way there and got distracted by something else and ended up 1/2 way across the map believing I had gotten that POI. It’s especially annoying because it’s often one that’s not easy to see because it’s in a cave or something so the colour of the box blends in with the background.
