Thank you. While I am a bit of a badge collector, I tend to collect badges during odd times. With this guide, however, I can make sure that I hit the "important" locations while I'm in any given zone. I'll keep it bookmarked and use it often for my up and coming toons.
Nice Info Starfox. I'll also keep it book marked for future reference.
Cheers for the info.
Just one question, what is the command to show what coordinates you are at?

you can bind a key to it in the options screen too, makes it easy.
I have rewritten this guide from scratch here: Accolade Hunting - When and Where?. The new guide covers not only exploration, it covers everything you need to do to get accolades. It also structures the exploration task and patches errors in this one - the list here is too long, you don't need to do all this exploration.

No, you can do them in any order, or sweep an entire zone before moving on to the next.
Excellent guide.

Any orderwill do. The ordr in my list is one I feelis convenient.
This guide now has a new version Here.
Ops, completely missed out on the Task Force Commander accolade. GUess it was too easy. Just do each Task Force from I to VI.
There is always a reason to make a next version.
This guide is aimed at people who dont really care about badges for whatever reason, but still want accolades. It lists the places in each zone you have to visit in order to get all the exploration and history badges needed for current accolades.
The data here is not my own it comes from the City of Heroes Resource Center. I merely assembled it and took out the bits relevant for the accolade hunter.
You dont have to do all the zones at once. The city zones are sufficient for the Atlas Medallion. In a later version of this guide, I may point out which zones you have to explore for which accolades.
I did not list which non-exploration and non-history badges you need that information is easily available on the City of Heroes Resource Center. I could compile all of this into one guide if people ask me to
