Important: To get the achievement you do NOT need the bomb. An easy way to get a bomb from start to chest with a bomb without bothering those poor birds on their eggs.
If you are already at the chest and have a portal handy, you can also use this way:

![GW2 Chalice Of Tears Speedrun 3:29 [improved by 48 sec- link in description]
I improved my time: Find the 2:41 run here: https://youtu.be/vuc6TPDMSrY
One possible fast route through the Chalice of Tears Jumping Puzzle in Ember Bay that I recorded just for fun. If you look for a guide, read description. One-take speedrun - timing from vista to chest 3:29. Didnt find a faster one yet :)
If you are looking for a guide for the Skip up the Volcano Achievement or Aurora collection item Flask of tears check this video:

If you ONLY need to collect 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.

If you need BOTH Jumping Puzzle achievement AND Tokens, jump to the end chest with https://youtu.be/lPp3Xx_9Kkw and then join the Token Guide https://youtu.be/ObPEZmSsV0Q at minute 2.

![GW2 Griffonrook Run (⌚ 0:27.15) speed run - Lornars Pass Jumping Puzzle
[current WR] Speed run of the Griffonrook Run Jumping Puzzle in Lornars Pass - part of the [JP] mesmer speedrun spam project
►Run specific comment◄
Speedrun.com rules state that the run timing starts from the respawn point where one can get the bomb until end chest. Since there have been runs before not taking the bomb, I also didnt do that. Interestingly, it is quicker to go directly from waypoint and skip to chest as seen in the video. With bomb the run take ofc a bit longer as you need to do a different skip (over the roof of the respawn point etc...)
►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... ;(

►Run specific comment◄
Dark Reverie starts at 0:53.
The Morgans Leap one was very hard to beat - kudos to Joe Jonny Jeff who already presented a unbelievable run (34s) here. I was next to quit trying this run - but then we found that skip to the branch that saved us 1-2 seconds :) Thanks Falkna and Nuriel for searching with me!
For the Reverie one there is noch much to say, besides that it can be skipped easily with the TP gun. Thanks Nuriel for finding that skip and sorry for beating your time :D

![Chalice of Tears unrestricted 2:22.93 (current best strat) - Mirage
Since the build from the last run is not possible anymore because the superspeed has been removed from Master of manipulation trait, the fast long teleport gun shot is not possible anymore - the range and speed decreased for those shots now, so only swiftness (+rune of speed) is accelerating these shots now.
However, with a few new strats and imrpoved movement here and there the current build still has the potential of beating the previous record time. If I had not messed up the one blink before CP3 it could have been at least on par. Therefore, I thought Ill share the current best run I got :D
