I have been trying for hours (!!!!) to get to the bridge (yes South Gate) for the Etherblade chest quest but without any result. I have been jumping from the locations other players told me: from the top of the chimney and from the big rock. Every time I come too short and yes I make dubble salto! I use the mouse and hit the bar and when he starts to fall I hit the bar again and he jumps again but allways too short. I have seen other players failing as well. Whats the point of this quest?? that we get tired of playing and quit the game???? Maybe someone (moderator?) can explain to me why this have to be so difficult. I hate jumping games.
Sorry, but I am a bit agitated after hours of trying to get that d. chest!

    Yes I tried that. I called them "chimneys". As I said with the dubble salto I cannot even touch the bridge...

    i wouldnt start it til you actually reach it :P

    keep trying. try to stand on the edge of the "chimney". and alternate the distance when you decide to double jump.

    I think the best way is to jump.. wait til you start falling(to gain a little more distance to the chest) then jump again.

    *note* i stood on the chimney on the right. (as you are facing the chest)

    Edit: if you want I can show you when I get off work. (about 3 hours left)

    The good news is that in a few more levels (level 30) you will get a flying sword, which makes getting to the chest much easier :)

    Besides, the charm you get is far more useful at 30+ than at the level you get the quest.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    to Original Poster: If you are a female character you can cheat and get carried up to the chest.

    That's really good news, thank you Ice! I'll wait...

    Almost seems the etherblade one is a bit harder than the City of lost one....

    The new yo-yo effect glitch kept me from getting the chest at all. I have done the jump quest on other characters before but since the patch and the crappy glitches that ensued from them, I can't do it at all.

    Well on my Harshlands BM I waited until lv9 to do that quest. Why? Because we BMs get a skill that far increases our jump distance *drum roll* Cloudfoot Sprint. If you have this speed buff active when you jump, you will jump a lot farther. Go to the top of the large rock to the East, turn on Cloudfoot and run and jump. Now when I came to Dreamweaver I did it the way most people are doing it. I can hit it every time now. But yes, Cloudfoot is very effective for that quest.
