Weāre looking to try and claim our Guild Hall. If anyone is willing to help out right now send a message to ludmila.8541. Maps will be back this week.
This is what I spent the final two hours before launch making. How did you spend yours? Ā (You can thank @zaydesithon for the music and basic idea.)
Your guides are amazing! I've already linked them to several people and have had nothing but excited responses from people! Thank you soooo much for these! The color coding is brilliant and makes it easy to locate where things are and doing everything map by map is so much easier than sitting on the wiki page for an achieve and waypointing around all of Tyria trying to figure out where on the map the things are. I appreciate all the work you've put into this!
Thank you so much! This wouldnāt be possible if it werenāt for resources like the wiki because the game is huge! No one person is likely to find everything on their own (zaydesithon already found several things I missed when he started helping with the note taking as of Blazeridge). But even with the wiki, it can often mean digging through 10 or 20 or even 50 pages just to find everything Iād want to know about a map and sometimes there are things youāll still miss without paying attention like the legion shields, the ooOoo spear, the easy way of unlocking Chalice of the Gods or DragonspineĀ skins⦠So I decided to make the guide I wish I had while mapping.
If things ever calm down (I have all the core maps to do and HoT is so close) Iād like to revisit the color coding system. With the numbers, itās easy to do quick crtl+f search on the page but my colorblind significant other pointed out different shaped markers would be preferable to different colors. I also need to revisit the font I use on the site because s and 5 look really similar and that causes issues when youāre constantly abbreviating prices with s for silver. Ease and accessibility is my goal here.
Is it okay to submit votes for the next region through ask box?
Yep! Itās perfectly fine to send a vote via ask. This way those on anon or who donāt have a tumblr can vote, too. :)
Including Iron Marches, which is currently being worked on, there are only two Ascalon maps left to be marked up for achievement and collection guides. Ā So the big question is, where do you want the Map Completionist to go next? Shiverpeaks? Kryta? Maguuma (not the Wastes)? Orr?Ā
The GW2 Map Completionist now has guides for the first five Ascalon maps available! These guides are focused around collection and achievement hunting, with some extras thrown in. Videos are also linked for further information or puzzle solutions. New maps go up every week or so.Ā The guides are relatively easy to update so any new changes to the game will be added. Or if you find something is missing from a map, let me know!
Itās still small but if you find these guides useful, give this post a reblog and tell your friends and guild mates! :)
Long map is long. Click a section of map to zoom in. Videos and more information past the jump.
NOTE: There are no skritt burglar chest locations on this map!
5. Behem Gauntlet - 10AP. Entrance is at the back of the spider cave. [video]
15. Crazeās Folly - Entrance is in the tunnel to the right when entering from where the heart vendor is. The stairs at the back of the tunnel is the start. There is a bonus basic chest in the cave with all the trolls near the end of the puzzle. Donāt confuse this chest with the Grand Chest which is the actual end of the puzzle. [video]
6. Style Guide - Hidden from the collection page until one of the items needed is acquired. 3AP and Wylennās Manual of Style awarded on completion. 14 specific literary themed items need to be collected.
Scriptures of Dwayna - 364 karma from Historian Jinell (heart vendor).
9. Ogre Expert - 3AP andĀ Ogre Sharpening KitĀ awarded on completion. Requires unlocking allĀ ogre weapons in your wardrobe. The collection itself is unlocked by looting and using anĀ Ogre ToothĀ which can randomly drop from any ogre.
Recipe: Chieftan's Mace - Purchased from Ogre Villager Grunte for 1s44c. Allows a weaponsmith to craft the Chieftan's Mace which shares a skin with the Ogre Bludgeoner. All ogre weapons can be crafted (or purchased off the TP) without having to hunt down recipes like this. This is just an alternative that can be crafted sooner (level 175 with steel instead of 275 with darksteel). Grunte is only available as a merchant after completing the eventsĀ Help Gork Thundermaker defeat Ponponi ShinyteethĀ orĀ Defend Gork Thundermaker against Ponponi Shinyteeth. [video]
18. Treasure Hunter - 10AP and Enchanted Treasure Chest awarded when completed. Requires unlocking 39 unique trophy and equipment items.
Breath of Kralkatorrik - Potential drop from the Dragon Chest after defeating the Shatterer (check a boss timer for spawn times). Only the exotic version counts for the collection. Players can sell the item on the TP.
17. Shattered - 10AP. Destroy 5 crystals trapping players during the Shatterer fight. With updates since the megaserver system was introduced, this can be frustrating and will require some planning. Thankfully you do not have to get all 5 in one fight. (As of 1/26/16 all information regarding the Shatterer fight is out of date. We will update this section as soon as we can play through the new content and achievements.)
Fun story. When I was recording the episodes for Blazeridge Steppes, I never hit the record button for episode 2. Whoops. Sorry this one is taking a bit but the videos are finally in editing. May release the text and map early like I did with Diessa Plateau depending on how long the editing takes.
Blazeridge Steppes goes in to filming tomorrow (many thanks to zaydesithon for helping with the notes while I was editing the last map). Ā In case you missed it, theĀ Fields of RuinĀ achievement map went up yesterday.
The first four maps are the usual Map Completionist labeling and the last two are for specific achievements. Click a section of map to zoom in. Videos and more information past the jump.
22. Branded Mine - 10AP. Thereās a small cave entrance here that leads to the puzzle. [video]
Fine Wining - Ā Unlocked using Vintnerās Guide. 3AP and Metabolic Primer awarded when completed. Ā Requires consuming/crafting 9 unique wines.Ā
4. Bottle of Rice Wine - 16c from the same Bartender as the one listed below for Brewmaster. See it for details. This is not a unique wine and is sold by many others.Ā
9. Bottle of Vintage Wine - 64c from Requisitions Officer Penny (merchant). This wine is also sold by Gastronom Plikk who sells the Vintnerās Guide so players are likely to have this purchased already.
4. Brewmaster - Unlocked using Observational Zymology Manual. 3AP and Metabolic Primer awarded when completed. Requires consuming 18 unique ales. Bartender in this building has no visible map icon but can be found on the first floor [video]. He sells many items related to this collection including the manual to unlock it. Full list:
Stein of Ale - 8c
Stein of Darkbrown Ale - 32c
Stein of Amber Ale - 32c
Stein of Hunterās Ale - 16c
Stein of Hearty Ale - 16c
Stein of Golden Ale - 48c
Observational Zymology Manual - 50s
None of these items are unique to this Bartender but this is a decent place to start the collection if youāre in the neighborhood.
8. Style Guide - Hidden from the collection page until one of the items needed is acquired. 3AP andĀ Wylenn's Manual of Style awarded on completion. 14 specific literary themed items need to be collected.
Ebonhawke Cease-Fire Agreement - 301 karma from Vanguard Lieutenant Viles (heart vendor). The fine version is the one needed for the collection, not the masterwork.
11.Ā Treasure Hunter - 10AP and Enchanted Treasure Chest awarded when completed. Requires unlocking 39 unique trophy and equipment items.
Sam - This accessory has a chance to drop from the splendid chest that spawns here after Foulbear Kraal has been captured at the end of the Ogre Wars meta event chain. [video] Only the exotic version counts. This item can be sold by players on the TP (though it is expensive due to the meta event being bugged for so long. Prices have started to come down since the 8/25/15 patch that fixed a lot of issues).Ā
15.Ā Koutalophile - Unlocked by purchasing the Collectible Spoon Box. 3AP, 1 Central Tyria mastery point, and a Bag of Mentorās Supplies awarded when completed. Requires collecting 21 specific spoon items.
Rosko's Campsite's Famous Bean Spoon - 308 karma for the fine version and 616 for the masterwork version sold by Rancher Jenneth (heart vendor). Both versions are required for the collection.
Thank you for your guides! They've helped me a lot, really. :)
Yay! :DThatās all I ever wanted to hear! Ā They take quite a bit of work to make, so Iām hoping to average around 1 map a week going forward.
TheĀ Diessa PlateauĀ post has been completely updated and now includes video links, including a full video of the event chain and mini dungeon for Flame Temple Tombs. Additionally, Iāve updated the maps to include a weapon skin I missed and the location of the Cattlepult for reaching the Blasted Moors vista. You can see my videos as soon as they go up by subscribing to my YouTube channel.
Fields of Ruin is being worked on now.
