Looks like you've put a lot of work into this thing, lots of info there!

I guess you're using those blank tabs to hide the section until the user selects it which is cool but it makes the tabs look a bit broken. Perhaps togglers would achieve what you're after?

My other suggestion (though it could be quite a lot of work so this really is just a suggestion if you're up for it) would be using \ and \ tags to actually put those maps into the tabs as images instead of just links.

Map and pin work like:

tooltip text

Feel free to use these comments to talk about the layout stuff if you don't like togglers and let us know when you're happy for it to be approved.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Comment by Zarac

Amazing work. Thank you for this.

If you use Notedpad++ you can easily convert your already done points to the needed bbcode.

Just do a replace search for regular expression:

Search for: (.*) \((*), (*)\)
Replace for: \1

You will only need to enclose it with the remaining tags.

We could do something similar to convert the coordinates to the syntax of Tomtom addon, with the /way, so you could put it in a box ready to copy past in a macro.

The zone icons looks great =)

Let me know if you want help with this.

Comment by SquireKel

Wow. Nice work.
A few things I noticed:
The "Ashenvale" tab has a map of Dun Murogh in it as well.
The "Hyjal" map has no pins on it.
The maps and pins for "Twilight Highlands" and "Uldum" tabs are not showing up.

Other than that, this looks great. Well organized, & certainly would have been helpful when I was exploring on my main!

Edit: Map issues have been fixed.

Hey I love all your work. You have an error on the Azshara map. The " Darnassain Base Camp (50, 72)" Is wrong. You guys reversed the 27 to make 72. It should be pinned at 50,27. :0)

On the Bloodmyst Island you have Axxarin in the wrong place too.

Comment by 923437

Nice guide,

Maybe good to say, when you are doing loremaster/To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before or some of the world event achievements(like Elders of Eastern Kingdoms) you will get quite a lot of these zone's nearly done, and making it quite easy to finish quick and easy work to finish this achievement.

in the end this gives you more achievement points, but depending on the achievement cost you quite a lot more time.

Eversong Woods missing Golden Strand pin

Comment by florianschut

Great guide :)
noticed one thing : on isle of Quel'Danas is only one point (you just fly there and you have the achievement)
The rest is great saves a lot of time :)
Thx

Extremly helpful.
Thank you!

Comment by Lyste

This guide is extremely good and is proof that Tykes the Explorer is worthy of his title. Only someone truly dedicated could do something like this.

Comment by 1219628

Will this guide be updated for Warlords of Draenor as soon as you, the author, achieved to explore the new areas of the expansion?

Comment by Inukage

This guide has helped me a lot. But I had hard time finding Gallows' Corner because it was marked in the wrong place on the map and I had to use the coordinates instead to find it.

Comment by Expinapher

The right coords to Gordunni Outpost, in Feralas are 77, 34

Comment by tecnicaz

So helpful.
Thank you!

Comment by 1270924

in the Shimmering Expanse map of Vashj'ir, the coords of Ruins of Thelserai Temple should be 65,44.

Your tag for Thistlefur Village in Ashenvale is not correct. Its north of Hellscream's Watch. Went crazy for like an hour looking in the area where you tagged it but it kept phasing me into Mount Hyjal.

Comment by MatiSali23

Excellent guide! Very detailed and well organized, thank you :D

Comment by Noritam

I'm very glad to find this guide, with the maps and pins today as I try to enter the Beta Key contest by exploring Outland.

I thought I made a mistake in my Notes because I have a "Medium Rare" achievement but yours is "Bloody Rare". Nope, no mistake, they are 2 different achievements. Here is the data I have, you may, or may not, want to include them.

Medium Rare
Kill one of the extremely rare and hard to find Outland creatures listed below. Criteria – Requires 1 out of 20

Northern Exposure
Kill one of the extremely rare and hard to find Northrend creatures listed below. Criteria – Requires 1 out of 23

Legends of the Past
Find one of the lost pandaren artifacts on the Timeless Isle.

Others, that I haven't looked up yet, just copied the titles from my battle.net achievement list:

From Cataclysm: "Stood in the Fire" & "Surveying the Damage";
From Pandaria: "Pilgrimage" & "Extreme Treasure Hunter"

Thank you very much for all your hard work. I'm loving the maps!

Great guide! Thank you!

Comment by 1310446

Very good guide, just found that the forsaken rear guard did not have a pin on it, so people who are travelling in the silverpine forest, its right at the top in the middle, other than that, so far i have found the guide to be wonderful! keep up the good work!

Comment by Loupland

The coordinates for Greenstone Quarry are incorrect. I spent quite awhile trying to find the right location. The coordinates are actually 47 29. It is West of Emperor's Omen.
This guide has been extremely helpful, thank you :)

Great guide! So far it's helping me tremendously complete these achievements!

Not sure if that has been mentioned or not :)

Hi, all.

New to WoWHead. Just one question for now. I completed the Exploration of all live areas. Do I also have to complete the Other Exploring Achievements listed above? I'm asking because the title is not showing with my name.

Thanks,
Lycana

Comment by mpwalter

Excellent guides, thanks I have referred to these several times.

One question, which isn't directly about the guides, but in general about the Explorer Achievements. Is it character-specific, or user-specific? If I have 3 characters, and one has visited some of Kalimdor and the others have visited the rest of the zones, do I get the achievement, or does one character have to get to all the zones?

Comment by n3r0t

You forgot one point in Silithus (Kalimdor)

Twilight Base Camp (44, 41)

Edit: just saw this location is not required to get the achievement, but if you don't discover this point, it will not reveal the whole map.

Comment by bomigabster

Missed one on Frostfire Ridge Iron Waystation at 74,57, 62.59. For those without coords have a look at Gargra, it's the little hut tucked away in the mountains to the East North East of where she stands.

Comment by Wolkenrenner

Tykes, I am totally gobsmacked and grateful that you took the time to compile this guide! Easy to see why you have so many fans, and it is easy to see that their corrections are not "gotchas", but a sincere desire to help, thereby showing their respect and gratitude. I would like to add my own name to your list of admirers, if I may. At 73 and in what is called "Early Onset Alzheimer's Dementia", I began playing WoW at age 59 and found it to be a great way to save my cognitive functions. I have a fear of losing my understanding of every new x-pack. Now, with guides such as yours, no worries! Thank you so much! - Bill

Comment by Brnkush

Hello everyone,

I've made an addon for wow cataclysm 4.4.0 that uses tomtom to generate for all continents waypoints for the locations that are needed for the world explorer achivement, it is updated with all locations coordinates, each location was tested and updated to reflect the curent game data.

The addon does not only generate for each zone the waypoints with corect names and positions but also removes waypoints when the zone is triggered so you don't have to go into the waypoint to clear it, the addon also keeps track of progress for each location and it shows it in the addon frame.

Comment by bigdsnake

Does anyone know if there is an addon available with all this data pre-loaded?
