Checking Your Map's Percentage Progress

While a cartographer is repairing your map, you can check to see the percentage done (versus simply looking at the progress of the green bar.) To do this, go to the Cartographer page. Next, select "view source"(In the view tab of your browser) while on the cartographer page. When the source page is open, open search. Search "pendingprogress".

You should find the following line-

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 62px 50%;">

The number right before the px is the percentage that the map is done. (for me it is 62) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thruppence (talkcontribs) 15:42, 2 February 2009

Below are the instructions for finding this information on ALL browsing platforms:


To do so you must venture into the source code.

For Firefox:

1. To get into the source code you can hit Ctrl+U, right click on the page and select "View Source Code", or you may choose the option "Page Source" from the view tab at the top.

2. Once in the source code hit Ctrl+F to open the search funtion and enter in pendingprogress and search.

3. You should be taken to a code section like this:

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 60px 50%;">/div>

The number you are looking for is the background-position: ??px that is your percentage. So for me it would be 60%.

For Internet Explorer 7:

1. To get into the source code you can right click on the page and select "View Source", or you may choose the option "View Source" from the Page top located in the upper right.

2. Once in the source code hit Ctrl+F to open the search funtion and enter in pendingprogress and search.

3. You should be taken to a code section like this:

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 60px 50%;">/div>

For Safari:

1. To get into the source code you can hit Ctrl+Alt+U, right click on the page and select "View Source Code", or you may choose the option "View Source" from the view tab at the top.

2. Once in the source code hit Ctrl+F to open the search funtion and enter in pendingprogress and search.

3. You should be taken to a code section like this:

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 60px 50%;">/div>

The number you are looking for is the background-position: ??px that is your percentage. So for me it would be 60%.

For Chrome:

1. To get into the source code you can hit Ctrl+U, right click on the page and select "View Page Source", or you may click on the Control's option for the current page (the piece of paper, and then under Developer choose "View Source".

2. Once in the source code hit Ctrl+F to open the search funtion and enter in pendingprogress and search.

3. You should be taken to a code section like this:

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 60px 50%;">/div>

The number you are looking for is the background-position: ??px that is your percentage. So for me it would be 60%.

Finally Opera:

1. To get into the source code you can hit Ctrl+U, right click on the page and select "View Source", or you may choose the option "View Source" from the view tab at the top.

2. Once in the source code hit Ctrl+F to open the search funtion and enter in pendingprogress and search.

3. Opera is the trickiest of all the browsers because it does not automatically take you to where you want to be in the source code so you will have to use your eyes a bit if Opera is your choice of pie. You will want to look for the below code snippet:

div class="pendingprogress">Order in progress.../div>div class="timeremaining" style="width: 100px; background-position: 60px 50%;">/div>

The number you are looking for is the background-position: ??px that is your percentage. So for me it would be 60%.

This information is not appropriate for the article. It's also fairly useless info -- the visual progress bar is accurate enough for most people to get a sense of how far along the repair is. It's fine as a comment here, but it's not good info to dump on the general public who aren't used to looking at HTML code. IMHO. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 21:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


Rank Requirements

I wanted to clarify some confusion I had regarding the Cartographer. I was under the impression that the Cartographer would not repair the Tattered Mousoleum Map without the rank of Legendary. However as long as you have the rank of Grandmaster, a Ticket to the Burroughs Bazaar, a Tattered Mousoleum Map and of course the funds. You just won't be able to travel to the Catacombs without the rank of Legendary (an assumption I bravely verified at loss of personal finance in the short run).
