Yes 100% for sure Crafting XP counts for the monthly. I know cause that is how I got mine in Lions Arch.
As you will find the 100K amount becomes super easy as you level up. The high zones give more xp/kill. Also as you get high level the xp you get from crafting scales with you. Some guys are reporting 11K and up per completion. So while 100K is very hard # to hit when you are starting out it becomes super easy to hit as you get higher up. Just hang in there and things will work out in the long run
This deed is at least better than the old one where 1 death and it was done forever.
Just wondering, Xabbu, did you enjoy the actual puzzle? I think people are far too reward-oriented. Our eyes are always somewhere other than where we’re at. Sad thing.
Yes I did enjoy doing them the first time, except the wind bridge in Goemm’s lab. That bridge was just a luck based thing that I got passed on about my 50th try.
Ok I just did 6 jumping puzzles last night. Some of them were repeats just for the chest at the end of them and some were new first time runs to discover the content. Of the 6 chests here is the loot breakdown.
- Troll Garden in L.A. Regular chest. ~level 55 loot(Repeat)
- Ogre Chest in L.A. Regular chest. ~level 55 loot(Repeat)
- Morgan’s Leap in Caledon Forest. Regular Chest. ~level 55 loot (Repeat)
- Dark Reverie in Caledon Forest. Spledid Chest. ~level 10 loot (First time)
- Spekks’ Laboratory in Caledon Forest. Spledid Chest. ~level 10 loot (First time)
- Goemm’s Lab in Metrica Province(first chest). Regular Chest. ~level 10 loot (Repeat)
At the time I was just shy of hitting level 60.
Now I can understand having anti-farm code and so the last chest is totally understandable but when you make it through a really hard jumping puzzle for the first time and get to the chest and find useless loot it really disappoints. Maybe it should be that the first time through a puzzle no matter what you get level appropriate loot? Just saying.
So for anyone going out there to do the jumping puzzles be aware the loot will stink after a few so plan not to do to many a day.
Practice makes perfect. For every moment of GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! you experience the moment of Oh YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! is that much sweeter.
Also sometimes taking a break for a while can help. Go do something else and come back later. Last night I was trying to do one of the ones in the Salvari starting zone and just couldn’t quite get it so I went over to another one in the starting area was able to get that one instead.
The only one that I would consider a true pain in the but is the Golim’s Lab puzzle in Metrica Province. The wind level seems to have an issue with it that means the second windy bridge is a luck thing to get across unless you are in the overflow server. on the overflow server the wind on the second bridge seems to all sync up and it becomes easy to get across if you time it right.
