Q:

Hi everyone!

I’m missing 28% for the tourist achievement from the World event atm. I have more than 50% of my map not explored, my question is: How do I find those white portals (looks like the asura gate but waterish) so i can pass to the “next” map. I try walking around but I can’t find a pattern to find them. Any advise? Or someone willing to guide me around coz there is nothing on TV, thanks for any suggestion

They are always at the edge of the zone. If you see a road going to the edge, likely there is a zone portal there. Usually there is a waypoint by the portal as well, so check by edge-of-zone waypoints.

You can also spoil things a bit for yourself and check

to save running in a direction that doesn’t have a waypoint.

Warning: Some zones are just darn hard to find a way into, especially in Ascalon.
