Melandru's Hope was slow and annoying, had much better luck just outside Vasburg Armory.

I just walk outside of Lion's Arch and use this (Ele/Me) build. Works perfectly. Just need to get them bundled up.

Easy farm, just go back and forth between nebo and north kryta province. There are some nice groups of ettins in both places.
To make it easier delete all WiK content from your questbook.

Ohh memory lane. I remember taking my W/Mo with Gladiator's Defense out to that spot in Nebo Terrace back in the old days. Still the only time I ever got a Sup Vigor.

Grab a running skill and make sure you deal elemental damage; also try to avoid blocking at all if you can or you'll be knocked down. I did it easily with my dervish, you just need a good combination and strategy to break through healing signet or it will get annoying.

Easy to get at the moment. Spiritwood Planks were only 200g in KC last I checked. Plus had tons of wood and dust to craft them for only 100g a pop.

Sadly, the first thing I thought of when I read that text was "Then a skeleton popped out". >.<

I'm kinda bummed about the spiritwood planks -- I was saving what I had for moa chicks. Now I have to see if I have wood and dust lying around. (Wood, oh yeah. Dust? I may have blown it all on Elonian Leather week.)

Slightly related: Ain't anybody gonna update the Wikia Traveler page? I keep seeing either Hardened Humps or Charr Hides in Pockmark Flats (whuh?), depending on the refresh.

Newbie player here, I know they display the exact location of Nicholas in GWwiki, but out of curiosity, do players have to find him first then report his general location to wiki?, or do the officials add the information to wiki?

We have to find him. These days, it sometimes takes hours. When he debuted, there'd be whole posses out searching.

If you check the talk page for Nicholas the Traveler, you will see where the information is posted so someone can update the information page.

Yeah...on the unofficial wiki someone edited to say he was collectiong charr hides. They were most likely trying to up the price on charr hides because he/she had farmed large ammounts over the past few days and wanted to make a profit.
However, Nick couldn't possibly collect charr hides this week, as he already collected them at the end of July last year...and it was stated he wont repeat for over 2 years

That's why I always check for Nick here - it gets updated just as fast as the wikis and the screenies are reliable (mostly)

Correction for the OP, they are called "Icy Humps" not "Frozen Humps" Also, kinda annoying I had to kill ettins to get to him last week and now I got to go back to griffon's mouth this week.

The maps I saw show an incorrect location. I just went there and he is NOT around anymore. I resigned and will check AGAIN.

Edit: so he does not show up when you have some quest active. Stupid!

That's pretty much common for any area that he shows up in.

Another week, another hunt. He's been in Prophecies so long, any guesses that he'll be in EoTN this week? He hasn't been there since the beginning of August.
