“Most versed in nautical charts, he knew better than any other the true art of navigation, of which it is certain proof that he by his genius, and his intrepidity, without anyone having given him the example, how to attempt the circuit of the globe which he had almost completed… The glory of Magellan will survive him.” - Antonio Pigafetta

What does it do?

This module teleports you very rapidly around a zone to reveal the entire map, removing the “fog of war”.

Teleportation occurs either under the world or high up in the sky to prevent other players from seeing you.

It is NOT a quick process and may take 5 - 30 minutes per map; more on low-end systems, virtual machines or high-latency connections.

This is a tool that caters to:

  1. The lazy people who want to come back after lunch and see a full map revealed.
  2. The OCD people who need to have ALL of the fog of war revealed.
  3. The achievement hounds who want the almost 200 achievement points for all Explorer entries.

User Interface (GUI)

Features

  • The user interface is available from the Addons menu.
  • A Reveal Map button may be used from anywhere in the zone to start removing the “fog of war” from a map.
  • A progress bar indicates your current progress in revealing the map.
  • A Stop button is available, if needed, to cease teleporting.
  • A sound notification is played when the map has been fully revealed, even if GW2 is running in the background.
  • Rendering may be toggled off to improve performance.

Before and After

PLEASE NOTE

Magellan intentionally aspires to not advance map completion because unlocking things too quickly will result in account suspension.

Pro Tips

Consider the following prior to starting the map reveal process.

  • Remove any guild tag, mentor tag or commander tag. You do not want people to see your dot bouncing all around the map.
  • Remove flashy equipment, especially if it leaves a trail behind you. This is probably not necessary since you'll be out of sight, but a wise precaution.
  • Only if needed, try the checkbox to disable rendering. This can help prevent your client from getting into a laggy state.

Disclaimer

Should I wait to buy?

  • No! Magellan will never go on sale and the price is likely to increase over time as the value continues to grow in line with the expansive scope of Guild Wars 2 and future expansions / maps.
  • Every purchase is backed by the MMOMinion 3-day money-back guarantee! http://www.mmominion.com/misc.php?page=refundpolicy

Disclaimer

  • You assume all risk associated with the use of this addon.
  • No players have reported to me that they've been suspended from the use of this addon since it was released in September 2018. I will do my best to keep the community informed of any changes.
