Hey everyone! I took a break during a few expansions and now I’m curious if there are any significant jumping puzzles in the Path of Fire (PoF), End of Dragons (EoD), Secrets of the Obscure (SotO), or Janthir that I shouldn’t miss. Specifically, I’m looking for massive challenges similar to Chalice of Tears or Retrospective Runaround. What should I keep on my to-do list?

They’ve kept some jumping puzzles, but a lot of new content in PoF focuses on mount-driven puzzles — like the Jackal jump puzzle in Crystal Oasis. End of Dragons does have a couple in Seitung and a larger one in New Kaineng, so check those out!
While a lot of the recent content isn’t as extensive as some of the jumping puzzles from the past, there are still some mini-dungeons worth exploring! Check out the Gauntlet of the Khan-Ur and the Rune-Locked Doors.
Honestly, not much comes to mind that matches your request. The Vale Brazier puzzle in Janthir is decent but not really on par with the classic difficulties.
They’ve kind of shied away from big JPs after feedback from Chalice of Tears. Instead, there are smaller puzzles sprinkled around, especially in mini-dungeons. The closest I can suggest now might be the Gauntlet of the Khan-Ur, which offers a fun challenge without being as tough as the old JPs.
Yeah, it’s a bummer they moved away from big ones.
There is a notable jumping puzzle in the sandy maps — it’s a pyramid with some floaty parts and you get to fight a bounty there. I think it might be base content from either PoF or LWS4!
Could be the Displaced Tower in Jahai Bluffs! Just remember, you can fly up that one. Also, the Sanctum of Nabka has some tricky navigation, but it’s more mini-dungeon than a traditional jumping puzzle.
I found Chalice of Tears annoying too! It’s rough when they hide the treasures in such awkward spots.
