Best run that I recorded - Tips in description:
If you have a better way of doing it, let me know :)
0:00 Start off between the stump and lamp post - you can nicely get the corner by using the arrow keys
0:12 Use the second boost at this checkpoint - this way you dont lose speed and have another boost ready not too long after the drift
0:25 Boost as soon as possible - use skill 7 here so that you can use it twice and dont lose too much speed up the stairs
0:44 Approach this curve at the right edge of the first checkpoint. Then ignore all other checkpoints and focus on the tree that you need to go around - drift around it as if it was the main goal here ;) You will get the checkpoints anyways doing it like this. After drift, boost such that you go hit the orb. Mind the bush in the middle of the checkpoint!
0:47 Don't use the boost of this orb here!
0:50 Approach this part with not too much speed and keep to the right third. Best you brake a bit by pressing backwards or just dont press forward.
0:52 While in the air, turn sideways and press backwards. It doesnt matter if you get slowed down too much here, you still have the spare boost :) You also need to use it here - boost through the orb once you are sure you will make it
0:56 Aim at the left part of this checkpoint and the log behind it. If you hit the log and are fast enough you just fly over the handrails in the way
1:01 Don't drift here - just use arrow keys + normal steering
1:15 This stunt isn't needed but helpful to be able to quickly boost after the next corner
1:26 Use skill 7 again once it is back for a final boost up the hill

![GW2 Weyandts Revenge (⌚ 0:24.72) speed run - Lions Arch Jumping Puzzle
[current WR] Speed run of Weyandts Revenge Jumping Puzzle in Lions Arch - part of the [JP] mesmer speedrun spam project
►Run specific comment◄
Had to show the actual JP itself at least a bit.
►About the project◄
We thought the JP section on speedrun.com needs more attention AND more Mesmer input (instead of mostly Thieves.. Mesmers CAN keep up :P) and therefore recorded some runs according to the rules defined on the website (find rules below). We tried to make the runs as entertaining and fun to watch as possible, hopefully you enjoy them :). We will release a full playlist of (almost) all Jumping Puzzles soon.
I personally like JPs a lot -who would have guessed it- looking for skips or helping out others. One gets to know many people by portaling in jumping puzzles (especially in the Ember Bay volcano or Not So Secret, the all time favorites :P) in case they require help or hate jumping and want to return to other stuff ASAP. It introduces a nice layer of collaboration and space to hang out. No salt, no randoms pointlessly raging about everything (besides maybe jumping, but thats what you can aid them with).
With this I also would like to highlight that it is a shame that there werent any new jumping puzzles introduced since PoF. They had so much room on these maps, but instead of creating more collaborative stuff Anet strategically decided to turn away from JPs (as seen in staffing decisions) and on these maps mainly added solo time-trials, grindy headhunts and such. Dont get me wrong, I also enjoy those... but honestly, the replay value besides grinding on those maps is close to 0. Btw, the tiny JP in Jahai Bluffs is an outrage...if I may be salty myself a bit.
A proposal from our side would be to introduce monthly JP leaderboards, maybe coupled to some rewards, just to revive the JPs a bit in case there arent any new planned in the future... ;(

Quite a nice run - I planned to use teleport gun up the stairs at the end (it almost boosts you directly to chest then) but in this run I was quicker than expected so that the gun was still on cd...
Thanks Falkna for the skip search :)

![GW2 Scavengers Chasm ⌚1:51 (no mounts) & some Mesmer JP speedrun tricks
[current WR] The quickest strat I could come up with to complete the Scavengers Chasm JP in Malchors Leap without mounts :) Not the best execution, I think 1:45 can be done..
I included some (Mesmer) JP speed-running techniques into the video that you might or might not already know :) Hope you enjoy

![GW2 - JP record Skip up the volcano (⌚ 2:41) - Ember Bay JP [Improved by 20s]
[Former WR, unrestricted] - Speedrun of the Skip up the volcano Jumping Puzzle in Ember Bay. New record: https://youtu.be/cqgDmsId2II
I promised in last vid, it would be the LAST speedrun I upload... but there are some nice innovations here ^^ so I have to share..
Rules: Start from Vista, start time at first movement, no portals, all checkpoints in order, stop timer at platform of end chest.
If you are looking for the Mursaat Tokens around the JP Area (23,24,25,29,31) watch the video link below - you can actually get them in 5 min without doing the JP at all.
