Lion's Arch POIs, Skill Points and Vistas

POI NW of Eastern Ward: This one is in the sewers.  Find the sewer entrance slightly south of the bank building (from the Trader's Forum waypoint, follow the canal east and the sewer entrance will be to the north).  Then it's an easy walk to the POI.

Vista west of Western Ward (east of the Western Ward waypoint): Much easier than it looks.  Go up to the house and to the back of it, right on the cliffs facing the water.  On your left will be some rocks leading upwards.  Do a curved jump to the left to get on them, and then just climb the house.

Vista in the Trader's Forum, directly over the gate (just North of the "u" in Forum): There's a stair leading up to the top southwest of the vista.

Visa in the Trader's Forum, west of the bank:  This one is WAY high up, but it's easy to get.  From the Grand Piazza, take the N/NE road (the one that goes up a high bridge, and also leads to the Crow's Nest Tavern).  Follow that road all the way to the end, when it winds to the left.  Below you you will see a wooden walkway.  Drop onto that and walk to the vista.

Sharkmaw Caverns Vista (SE part of the map):  This one is easy to get to but you need to go through a couple tunnels that are not visually obvious.  It starts from the windmill south of the Farshore waypoint.  Video to do it is here (I didn't make it).  Also, it's the beginning of a pretty intense jumping puzzle/hidden area.  The reward at the end is just a chest and achievement points, but honestly the experience itself makes it worth doing.

Vista directly east of Grand Piazza:  This one is a little silly.  Go to the same boat as the one that the vista is on.  Go through it as if you're continuing to go west.  Right before you leave the boat, follow the railing and go around the "back" (north side) of the boat.  You'll see a little gap.  Jump the gap and you're there.

Vista directly south of the Eastern Ward waypoint: There's an NPC right next to the jump point.  Talk to him and he'll give you a piece of equipment that will get you there (you can't jump it yourself).
