People in Beetletun (the closest outpost to where Nick is supposed to be) are saying that you need a WiK quest/Wanted active to be able to find him. Probably an artifact of this past weekend's updates.

EDIT: Confirmed. I got today's Wanted (Vess the Disputant) and took my mesmer into Watchtower Coast. Nick is on the beach, straight north from Beetletun, at Calamitous' location.

My other account hasn't got EoTN on it, so I can't even get WiK going. I guess no gifts for that account this week. (unless Anet makes some changes). Or i just get EoTN for it, lol. Probably should.

You just have to lead with your charac' who has the WiK quest ... should be enough to see Nicholas appearing, even though other accounts can't get the rewards, of course

I'm sure Anet will fix it asap once they figure it out, you also got all week to get them. But i can also confirm that you need a WIK to get him to show.

I tried that...no nic does not spawn (tried it twice)
You have to have the WiK stuff available to you to get him to spawn currently--yes they will probably fix it (we hope).

Yeah, if anyone in the party doesn't have WiK going, none of that content will spawn, thus no Nick. I'm sure ANet will set it right once they figure it out.

Indeed, I just tried, and it didn't work either ... every Member needs to get access to WiK content ... I was thinking it would've worked ><,

Pretty sure I am that A.Net will figure it out and fix it (I've been hearing it's the fix' season ) !

ANY WiK quest will do.

BTW: Scoundrel's rise + Shoreline of N. Kryta Province = good farming.

That's where I was for this weeks video. All you do is run in a big circle in Scoundrel's Rise.

I went in with my alt account and he wasn't there until I got the War in Kryta stuff started. The character had finished Prophecies and Eye of the North, but had not started any of the WiK things. Another guild member checked with a character that has not finished either Proph or EotN, and he wasn't there.
