Read whole description first! This is for "Token Collector" achievement only. Note that you will NOT be able to open the end chest using this shortcut! You will also NOT be able to teleport to one of the guys at the end chest up there at 1:57 for the achievement as you need all 5 checkpoints for this.
In case you are joining this "volcano token" run after completing the JP end chest, watch from 2:05.
Token locations:
Token 23 & 24: 2:58
Token 31: 3:55 (CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE AS SHOWN, as there were some stones added)*
Token 29: 4:16
Token 25: 4:53
This is imho by far the easiest way to get the tokens in the Chalice of Tears Jumping Puzzle - besides asking a nice mesmer to port you. Pssst - don't tell anyone ;)
If you need to do the JP itself for contents of the chest for Achievement "Skip up the volcano" or "Flask of Tears" for Aurora collection, I want to refer you to those vids:

*) Token 31:
There has been some gravel added in the recent (June 2024) update which made it nearly impossible to reach the token 31.
There is currently only 1 known way to get there:
Glide from the top, to the right side of the end chest hill outside of the volcano (Careful! you lose checkpoints by gliding outside the volcano). I recommend using a Position Rewinder or portal in case you dont know exactly where to find the entrance on the outside to get to the token, so you can retry multiple times. You need the jade bot updraft gliding mastery to get a boost once you entered the cave with the token. Since this cant really be the intended way, I guess there will be another update coming to either move the token or create a path there.

![GW2 Coddlers Cove (⌚ 0:37.32) speed run - Timberline Falls Jumping Puzzle
[current WR] Speed run of the Coddlers Cove Jumping Puzzles in Timberline Falls - part of the [JP] mesmer speedrun spam project
►Run specific comment◄
Nothing special to note here :D
►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... ;(
►Rules for unrestriced category◄
⌚: Start from waypoint, timer start on first movement, timer stop at edge of chest

✖: mounts, relogging to affect player position, toys such as Executioners Axe, 3rd party overlay markers or squad markers

![GW2 skip up the volcano speedrun (2:55) - [IMPROVED by 14s link in desc]
New record: https://youtu.be/vuc6TPDMSrY
Old comment: I promise, this will be the LAST speedrun I upload of the ember bay Jumping Puzzle skip up the volcano at Chalice of tears X) Nothing to improve from my end... maybe a last leap towards the veteran at the end. Rules: Start from Vista, no portals, all checkpoints in order, stop timer at 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.

Alltogether quite a smooth run, besides the long hesitation at 0:19 and 0:31. Optimizing this strat would improve the time by maybe 1-2s... :)
