GW2 Coin Collector Prospect Valley Achievement Guide for Dry Drop. Video guide coming soon.
Video
Note that due to the vertically and complex nature of the map, it is really hard to describe accurately the location of each Lost Coin without cluttering the page with tons of pictures. Therefore, it is better to follow along with the video, the route has being semi optimized to reduce backtracking.
Note: The numbering system was changed from the previous version due to route optimization. If you were using the old map/numbering system, you can find the old map here to compare to the new map to get the new numbering system.
Map
1. Jump below the waypoint to collect this coin
2. This one is on the very ground level. To get to this area, you need to follow the path from the waypoint for a bit and then jump off. If there is an event running there, the hole is blocked and you will need to complete the event.
3. Circle around from #2 to get to this lost coin
4. Jump up to grab this one here
5. Get to this platform by using the air crystal nearby (may need to use swiftness for the jump) or lightning crystal if you have it
6. On the ground
7. Next to some bushes
8. Not very hard to spot
9. Up on the ledge. Can take a few jumps to get up here.
10. On the building on top of the repair thingie.
11. This Lost Coin is up top so you will need to use the air crystal nearby to try and jump to grab it.
12. Inside the well.. Good job hiding it
13. Inside the mine area below Miner Toska
14. Up top, follow the jumping puzzle route to get to here
15. From the last coin, drop down, grab air leap and run forward a bit. To your left is a wall you can jump up to drop in a hole.
16. To your left is a slightly raised platform with a devourer. Run past it and jump across the gap to grab this one.
17. This coin is at the very top, along the route to the jumping puzzle
18. Keep following the route to the jumping puzzle and past the skill point is another coin
19. At end of the jumping puzzle
20. Use air jump to get up here. You can use the roof of the white tent as a sidestep
21. Use air jump to get up here
22. On the ledge to the NW of the waypoint
23. Get up here by using the air crystal
24. Use the air crystal nearby to get up. If you can quick enough, you can use air leap to get up. If not, use swiftness from the small ledge.
25. On the ground level below some rocks.
26. This one is on the ground level
27. Inside a little cave next to Nochtli
28. Go up the stone ramp
29. On top of a small ledge, use air jump to grab it.
30. Inside the Llama cave, you need to destroy the Inquest containment pods to get abilities that will get you across. Use sun dash to get past the orange screen.

Wow, decided to check the site one last time at 29/30 and saw that the guide was up. Scrolled all the way down to find my last coin in the well. xD

I’m having some trouble with number 29, not entirely sure where it, or the mentioned air crystal are.
Dulfy
There is an air crystal at the location I pointed to with the white arrow

Thanks, I got it. I just wasn’t going fast enough, needed a bit of a speed boost.
Uman
No need to go fast, you can just climb on the edge and make a jump http://i.imgur.com/I4c9AR4.png

#19 is not clear to me
Dulfy
From #18’s location, you will see a ledge with another devourer on it. If you go on that ledge, you will see a gap and then another ledge with the #19 coin on it.
It is kind of hard to describe this whole map in just words and pictures since there is no much vertically and nooks and cranks. If you still can’t figure out wait a bit for a video guide.
Tyler
Thanks turns out my trouble was that I didn’t find #18 when i thought i did, which is prereq. for #19. THANKS DULFY (:
Sylar\^
need a vid real quick, #19 is like wttf x.x argh my head
Dulfy
Video is rendering + uploading so it will be an hr or two. Beware that I have changed the numbering after I optimized the route a bit so hopefully it isn’t too confusing.

I finally managed to get them yesterday, but thanks for all your hard work!
Meh Lindi
Good guide. Also a map for possible locations of buried lock chests would be nice. 😉
Micke Olsson
Dulfy, Dulfy… You rock!
katreyn
Ugh is it possible this achievement can get bugged? I did a large majority before you had a guide up. Went back to look for the obscure ones (jp ones, well, the one hidden behind the vines). Then only needed one left. Been back through everything step by step by video twice and no clue what I am missing. >.< Stuck at 29/30. Guess next time I'll wait for a guide first. lol
Cronos Dage
Inquest one?
katreyn
Yeah definitely have that one, went back to check too. Gonna make another round again tonight just to make sure I guess.
Bhelliom
same here checked all twice also stucked at 29
DeadlyDonut
This is the route I took, made this guide off Dulfy’s cause theirs bounces around so much…so i put it in an easy path with arrows descriptions and legend.\ http://s13.postimg.org/d2su5n2fr/Coin_Collection_Guide.jpg

Thanks for the map as an additional help to Dulfy’s info. I had 3 left and used your map to get two and yours and Dulfy’s to get #16 which was the last. Kudos on giving us good info. You might know where these are but some are a challenge to get to. I got most on my own and was down to 5 when I started using these maps and guides. Very happy I got this achieve. Thanks to you both.
NimKD
Thanks 🙂 duff 🙂
DreamPen
Thank you. Just thank you.

Now that there are vines everywhere, I can’t get #11 – I always hit the vine on first jump and fall down.

After trying countless times a kind soul made this guide for me, and it helped me finally get the coin: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/5qprt5/could_someone_help_how_to_reach_this_lost_coin_in/ (Disqus doesn’t let me link to the specific comment, scroll down until ShortnCurly’s comments.)
Trystiana
Has anyone tried #11 since the vines came? I’ve tried for hours and they block my jumping… I’ve tried everything (at least I think I have lol) any help would be appreciated! LOVE THE GUIDES!!!!

Peach
Has anyone worked out how to do #11? Can’t get pass the vines 🙁
Peach
Nevermind I manage to get through after half an hour of trial and error >_<
Trystiana
please share how you did it…. I am still trying and failing 🙁
Peach
I used the 2 big thorny branches that are coming out of the building underneath the platform. Took me a while to get into the right position but I somehow managed it. Good luck!
Stephan
Your #11 is #29 in the achievement panel
Some Guy
Anybody know which one is #29 in the achievement panel?
Some Guy
Sorry, #27 in the achievement panel
Seishu

John Kucing
Anyone knows where is the Lost coin #20 in the dulfy list? I just need this one for finishing that achievement. :-/
Redmedios
coin #20 is now #25 in dulfy guide.\ you can also check the conversion table here : https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/763/updated-dt-coin-sw-badge-locations
Xiper
If any of you were just as confused as I was in the beginning, Dulfy has ordered the coins in order of route optimization — meaning coin #23 is the coin closest to #22 (after getting coin #22), and does NOT correspond to the actual coin number in the achievement.
AriaFiresong
Well, more because GW2 numbered their coins long after the achievements and relevant guides came out.
AriaFiresong
Since following the forum link seems to break, https://imgur.com/bE8gzLt for the direct conversion table.
