Hey guys,
I have completed the world map on my Ranger/Druid and I’ve made sure that on the top corner it says 100% Map Complete. However, I have not received any gifts of exploration. I am nearly done with my legendary weapon just need the gift of exploration to finish it. has anyone else had this problem before? any ideas?
Cheers
There are a couple of reasons for this, the most common one: chantry of secrets (which you already visited and revisited).
Before going further, double-check that the game agrees: get a friend to look at your character to see if it has the gold star for map completion (yes! ANet gives us a gold star!). If yes, then follow Inculpuatus’ advice and contact Customer Service — the game agrees you’re at 100% completion; only CS can figure out what happened to your rewards.
If you’re missing the gold star (and so the game disagrees with your ‘100%’ assessment), here are the possible issues I’ve read about (with suggested approaches). I’ve repeated the most common one, in case others following along from home have the same question:
- Chantry of Secrets, in Bloodtide Coast — for a variety of reasons, a lot of players need to re-enter/exit that zone before being rewarded 100%.
- Added PoI since you last visited a map: Living Story Season (1 & 2) — there were a few new PoI added during various chapters and if you haven’t been in the zone since, you’d still show 100% map completion. The talk page of the wiki’s Map Completion article has a link to an old list, which offers details on most of these new locations.
- Moved or renamed PoI/WP — similar case to above and I haven’t personally confirmed this: people say that they had to return to the maps (not the locations) where the LS changed or moved a POI/WP before getting map completion.
- Claw Island: the wiki says this can only be unlocked during the personal story
- Draithor’s Demesnes in Kessex Hills — this doesn’t affect many, since Kessex would be marked at <100%.
If you have to, just re-enter every core Tyria zone and open the map, to check if it’s 100%. Although annoying, that’s the fastest way to check and possibly trigger the reward.
Good luck and please let us know what you discover.

) I tried all of the above, hasn’t worked for me. I don’t know what else I could do. maybe just drop my legendary weapon project?
what a waste of time and coins… its very frustrating!
