I've seen the Sylvari jumping puzzle, but are there more puzzles in the game and do they reward you for completion?
My reference to RIFT is for comparison like the Rabbit Maze and the Bottom of the Lake puzzle (Seen them in videos that Jesse Cox showcased).

Are there hidden puzzles like in RIFT?

Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.

Yes there is hidden stuff all over the world
I loved zombies before they were the biggest fad in the world.

There are tons of puzzles, I think it is somewhere around 1-3 per zone. Like the Sylvari zone you mention there are 3 puzzles there that I know of. There are also other hidden things like the underwater organ

It seems to be 1-2 jumping puzzles per zones so far. 4 in WvW (with traps that players can control to keep the other teams out)

You can get a lot of unique stuff from exploring and sorting puzzles, and at some of the puzzles there is a boss at the end.

There are definitely many hidden puzzles and stuff. Quite a few are really well hidden too.

This guy has a ton of jumping puzzle vids (as well as other goodies) on his channel if you're interested.

Sometimes chests, sometimes vistas at the end.
Always look behind waterfalls or even a bush in a corner or some seaweed underwater might be hiding a hidden passageway
In order to understand the hells that plague Ascalon, one must embody it. Embody Hell. Becoming a servant to the flame and wielding it's untouched glory. Being shrouded by ash, brimstone, fire and lava. Only those that understand may defeat. Demons of the flame, elementals from the hells. All with one task. Incinerate. Maybe now you understand why I task myself with this road to incineration. ~JawDane

But don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

Please tell me you've seen The Other Guys. Originally Posted by Jigain

Little by little I grow a little more bitter, sit down in my chair like a grown man to his dinner. "Where's my newspaper, boy? Dog, fetch me my slippers. Feed me, do the dishes, if you need me I'm in the shitter."

These are just known ones that have been documented on the wiki. But there are many others plus a lot of mini jump puzzles that haven't made that list.
Like these:

Each puzzle has reward chests at the end. Those chests also reset after sometime so you can go back and do the puzzle again if you like. The reward scales with your level

I would like some elite jumping puzzles that reward us with utility skills and one that gives elite skill. (for professions of course)
Something like gw1 quests for skills (both profession [easy way : go and buy] and racial [can't buy]) but in different style

They had this kind of thing before but decided against having special content per profession and just changed them to skill challenges. However some skill challenges are linked with puzzles. Like the one in the Charr area. Originally Posted by Roudene
