January 2013 Monthlies

Never actually tried the fractals yet. I'm terrible at lfg'ing I suppose. :/

Getting my montly wvw kills wasn't ever a problem however.

Seems the jumping puzzles just have to be completed, not newly discovered. So, you can just do the 3 ones in Lion's Arch once a day or even on multiple characters and it all counts.

I've gotten different results from yours. I was able to get credit for the monthly when I walked into jumping puzzles, before completing them. I wonder if there are jumping puzzles that behave differently.

Strange. Well, maybe it's enough to just enter them. That would certainly save some time.

Just like I stated above. There's no jumping required for the monthly jumping puzzle achievement.

Walking to the beginning of the puzzle is enough, even if you've completed the puzzle before.

One other thing, from what I've read, it seems that overflow servers count differently. So (to use the example from my previous post) one character walking into the beginning of Urmaug's Secret in an overflow server counts once. Then that same character walks into Urmaug's Secret on the home server, and it counts again. So logging into different overflows will get you credit multiple times for one character and one jumping puzzle.

It's a super easy monthly task.

Oh, sorry I somehow missed that sentence. Now I feel rather stupid. Anyway, that just makes it even easier then since I'm almost always put in an overflow server when entering Lion's Arch these days (unless it's very late at night.)

Not true. You don't need to complete them. I went to that one in Caledon Forest, missed my jump to the very first floating stone and saw I already had the point so I stopped after that (never cared much for those kind of jumping puzzles, but I must say, I liked the one I did yesterday in Sparkfly...)

I tried to do some WvW, but I don't think I'll get that one. I just can't get myself to stay long enough to even make a kill...

I pretty sure that was determined already. Even by the person you were quoting.. directly above the post you made.

[nkuvu]

This just in!

You don't need to complete the jumping puzzles to get credit for the achievement. Woo!

...

Yep, I amuse myself far too easily sometimes.

[shawn]

I don't think that's true, N. I heard from someone that you don't have to complete the jumping puzzles to get credit.

Guys, I just logged in and started working on the monthlies and you don't have to complete the jumping puzzles to get credit for them.
