Is anyone else farming these? I’ve gathered up 10 so far. They seem to have the best drop rate from “Splendid Chest” out of jump puzzles. I did about 15 puzzles yesterday, and opened several hidden chests around the world I know of, and 7 world boss events.

I didn’t recieve any from world boss chests, although I heard its possible, and I didn’t recieve any from regular "Chest"s, I opened several. I also read they can be in the daily chest.

But, splendid chests from puzzles seem to have a very high rate. Maybe 50+%.

I feel like these are going to have a big impact soon with the adventure box in Rata Sum. And if it’s a limited time event, I don’t want to waste time searching for more coins, I think it’s a good idea to get a bunch now.

EDIT/UPDATE: these are links to chest locations thoughout the world. Some are just laying around, some are in caves guarded by vets/champs, some are in jump puzzles.

Yeah I’ve been doing it too. It’s been a fun excuse to go try all the jp I haven’t done yet. Actually been having a blast doing it, and I can’t wait to try out the super adventure box.

I think I have 4 so far and will keep collecting them… but i keep looking over my shoulder… worried this is all part of a huge April Fools joke… Those new weapons in the pvp locker are so sweet and my first thought was we’d have a chance at them by reaching the end of the super adventure box. But what if all we get at the end are starter weapon skins?! Ahh! Regardless, this is all very exciting and I can’t wait to see what’s inside that box!!!

You can get them from both the regular chests and the megaboss chests. I got one from the chest next to the harpy matriarch in Queensdale, a friend got one from the one the wolf den and someone got one from the Melandru temple chest earlier.

We know what the coins are used for, they say it on them. Extra lives . . . which makes me wonder if you just may not need them for the Super Adventure Box unless you’re pretty bad at jumping puzzles.

I got one of these and the fact that Anet is already planning to provide players with “more lives” is not encouraging at all. I don’t like the puzzles to start with and if “more lives” are needed? We’re going to need them.

Too bad we can’t sell them.

Seems that the magnificent chests looting are shared like the boss chests. I’ve done a couple other jump puzzles and when I got to the end, the chest was already opened. These were the first Times I’ve completed the puzzles ever, so there wasn’t an issue of completing the puzzle the day prior or anything

They do drop from even the small splendid chests. Got my first one last night when killing the Sons of Savnir(sp) in their little hideout. (EDIT: the hideout in Wayfarer Foothills near where Maw Spawns) JIC anyone was still wondering if they had to be obtained via JP or otherwise.
And as far as jumping puzzles go… I failed the mad king miserably and the one in Southsun too. I will need at least two full stacks if I want to have a chance. Some of us just weren’t made for the JP.

I will have to agree here…some players are definitely not made for jp’s. That said I need to put on my thinking cap and find (an) easily farmable splendid chest(s).

I’d like it if they smoothed things out a bit if they’re going to keep putting puzzles and such in. I like games like that, but GW2’s mechanics (not to mention horrible camera) always made the puzzles a bit annoying for me in this game.

Doing puzzles with some people is much more fun than doing dungeons over and over or hitting boring gates if you ask me. Some puzzles are amazing in design and experience as well. I don’t really care if the Super Adventure Box is a joke, it would be awesome of course but at the moment I have a good excuse to do all puzzles that are already in game.

Are you key turning? As long as you are holding right click to control camera, and keys A and D to strafe instead of turn, it should be completely fluid.

This is how experienced pvp players typically play to be able to circle strafe, I don’t know how much of the population actually does this. But it is extremely fluid movement for jump puzzles.

I’m holding right click constantly with my mouse at a fixed distance above my characters’ heads to use AoE more precisely. I can move and turn perfectly, it’s just the air control always feels clunky to me and the objects I’m supposed to be jumping on are often misleading and odd. <_>

Ohhhh, yeah I know what you mean. I think that will come with experience and knowledge of the puzzles. Many puzzles I can do in a single try with swiftness on without any hesitations before jumps. That’s only because I know the right spots to start my jump and end my jump at. Many spots in jump puzzles have those little edges that can mess up a run, it’s all practice

Yeah, I can do the ones I’m familiar with no problem, it’s just remembering where the “slippery” surfaces are and remembering how to adjust your camera to compensate for it being obstructed by a tree or your character itself or something weird like that. Mostly I feel like I should be aiming jumps and maybe fighting enemies on the way there, instead of the camera. XD

I’ve always found jumping quite easy in this game compared to most MMOs honestly, mainly because if you jump forward and then stop holding forward…you immediately stop all forward momentum and land at exactly the spot you stopped holding forward at.

Yep, that is very useful for smaller jumps, especially if you have any kind of speed bonus. Another way to do small jumps is to jump straight up first, and then press forward while in the air. You will move foward, but not as far as if you were holding down forward the whole time. This technique is most useful on short steep jumps, so you don’t catch on what you’re trying to jump onto.
