World Completion 98%
What I did to avoid ending up in this situation is I started a text document. In it, I add each zone (in alphabetical order) as I complete them to ensure I have a full listing of everything.
It makes finding what you still need significantly easier in the future.
I just 100% a zone before I leave it. Did not miss any on my first character (now 100%) and am up to 98% on my second character and the last 2% is fully accounted for in the final zone. Much easier.
Bite the bullet and travel to each zone. Use a system like work up the level ranges within an area (shiverpeak/kryta/maguuma etc) so you don’t miss any maps.
Yep, what Bluestone said, I always complete each zone 100%, from lower to higher level, before jumping to the next one.
It’s a bit tedious, but it saves you time returning to each zone to check what you missed.
I also 100% each zone, but twice now I have been stuck trying to find a point of interest or vista, go to http://www.guildhead.com/map and collate your ingame zone map against that map.
Yeah I use that map^
I wasn’t originally planning on doing 100% world, but I changed my mind so I went back and finished everything that was untouched.
I guess I’ll just keep looking…
