GW2 Jumping puzzles guides-Guild Wars 2

Here is a list of all the GW2 jumping puzzles in Guild Wars 2 with video tutorials and instructions on how to complete each of the puzzles.

There are 42 jumping puzzles in GW2 granting 44 achievements under the Jumping Puzzles section of your achievement window. Jumping puzzles vary in jump difficulty and length. I highly recommend that players start out with the easy ones and work their way up. This will eliminate some of the headaches and make the puzzles a lot more enjoyable. Here is my personal recommended order of progression based on my experience (yours may differ)
