How to climb the Moonfire Tower (if you're not great at jump puzzles)

[Iscah]

In the other discussions on the Moonfire Faire, I saw that a few people said they couldn't manage the jump puzzles required to complete the quest and get their new beachwear. Maybe they got there in the end, but if not, I've put together a map of how to do that first bit of the climb. (Somewhat late, I admit, but at least I got to doing it before the event ended.)

I'm not great at jumping puzzles either, but after a few times through it trying to make at least some progress on the "challenge level" of the tower, it feels fairly straightforward - and I'd hate for people to miss out on completing the quest because of it.

As I noted in the instructions on the image, I'd recommend not equipping rogue/ninja class to complete this climb. It helps for the upper part of the tower, but if I fell off and had to do this section again, I found I was often jumping over rather than onto platforms. It was easier if I switched back to a different class.

Also, for the earlier second part of the obstacle course with the 'balance beams', you don't need to jump to lower beams but can simply run off the edge of the higher beam and drop down to it.

The short version: do yellow jumps from a standing position, and red jumps with a running start.
