Guild Wars 2

I’m at 98% and for the life of me can’t figure out what I’m bloody missing as far as exploring the “Maguuma” territories. I see all POI’s are covered and unless there’s some magical area that can only be seen while doing drugs and listening to Dark Side of the Moon I’ve covered them all. Help would be appreciated.

The exploration (not map completion) includes areas or "neighborhoods. Look for areas on the maps that still look fuzzy. There are some areas you may not get even looking for waypoints and poi. So especially corners that are fuzzy that do not have those close by.

I am talking about exploration achievement here, and not map completion.

For my own Maguuma completion I had to go to Brisban and get Aurora’s remains.
And in Mount Maelstrom I had to get Deidre’s steps, which must be accessed by portal when you kill one of the “keepers”

First off al, a common misconception is that this title has to do with waypoints or PoI’s. Those are needed for map completion and world completion. The region explorer titles are rewarded for unblurring the map.

The best tactic to get this title however is by start to do map completion on the maguuma maps, cause this will assure you that 95% or more is unblurred as well. That doesn’t count however the few places with no map completion item (like e.g. a PoI). For that I recommend using the wiki. You need off course do this for all maguuma maps (don’t forget mount maelstrom and sparkfly swamp) but I will use ‘caledon forest’:http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Caledon_Forest as an example.

Please open the wiki page for this map to follow me. in the table with the area’s you will see many area’s with atleast a PoI, waypoint, skillpoint vista or heart (see my note bout hearts). These are area’s you must have visited when you completed this map. There are some however that only have a jumpingpuzzle or mini dungeon in it or nothing at all. For the Caledon forest map these are: Dreamdark Enclave and The Rowanwoods.

These are the two area’s you might miss in the caledon forest map. So see if these area’s are named on the map (using the wiki to find reference to the location) and then move on to the other 4 Maguuma maps.

(note bout renown hearts: It is possible to do a renown heart without entering the area where the renown heart npc is. As far as I know this is never an issue due to clever or lucky mapdesign, but I wanted to mention it just in case)

Nalora.7964 hit it RIGHT ON!!!! I needed Aurora’s remains :-) Thanks!!!!!!

I found out checking the wiki for areas that don’t have any POIs/Hearts/Vistas/Skill points helped me to find the missing areas, as obviously the ones with any of the abovementioned I would have found while doing 100% world completion.

Just finished Maguuma Explorer myself yesterday.
