Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a mesmer I keep at low level to attempt to get Silver Doubloons as rewards from the chests in jumping puzzles and noticed that Loreclaw Expanse in PLains of Ashford and Spekk’s Laboratory in Caledon Forest do not seem to give the seem progress towards map bonus rewards as other jumping puzzles — or at least they do not display an “event complete” notification as the other puzzles do.

Nothing seems to be wrong with the chests or rewards themselves, and I have not tested a wide range of zones yet, but I can confirm proper progress/notifications from Crimson Plateau (Diessa Plateau), King Jalis’s Refuge (Snowden Drifts), Demongrub Pits (Queensdale), and Collapsed Observatory (Kessex Hills). Eventually my mesmer will run through the other 3 in Caledon (Morgan’s Leap, Dark Reverie, and Spelunker’s Delve), Goemm’s Lab in Metrica Province, and the 3 in Lion’s Arch (Weyandt’s Revenge, Urmaug’s Secret, and Troll’s End). I’ve ran a few other scattered puzzles with other toons but wasn’t paying attention so I can’t comment on any of them yet.

There are no Bonus Map Rewards in starter zones, or cities.

How do you tell your map progress, anyway?

Oh, duh… I completely forgot about that part! Good call. But it’s still strange that Demongrub Pits would show a “event complete” notification in a starter zone but two other puzzles in other starter zones wouldn’t. Maybe I’m misremembering on that puzzle specifically, but it is a curious anomaly if true

By manually paying attention to when you’re doing events and when you’re receiving rewards. Mostly, on the JPs, I go by the “event complete” message to pop up on screen when I open the chest to see if I’m getting credit
