Spiritz
they are correct - verified via wiki http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicholas_the_Traveler.
Funny how it took so long this week to find him when the number of possible places left isnt that huge

a reason to get my paragon moving along in the prophecies chapter---easy farm, lots of pinesouls along the way (and made it to copperhammer too)....

And if you already have completed that quest(like me for example
) there are a lot of pinesouls ready to be killed outside Iron mines of modalune mission...i used a little tweaked terra-tank build on my ele and works well(a bonder can make it safer but slower a bit the farm)..just watch out for Avicara Brave, that have savage slash(interrupts on obby flesh=sure death by imps).
P.S:10 sparklers,5 mist.stones,5 merch.stones,10 honey,5 blue rock candies.

Nother option that worked for me is at the start of the Ice Caves of Sorrow Mish.
There are about 10 Pinesouls to be had.
Let the group of Mursaat pass & they will park themselves out of the way, leaving a cuple groups of 3 Imps that may interject their impishness during the hunt.
Went solo, rit 2nd, SoS and added Purge Signet to remove Mind Freeze and conditions from traps when picking up the seeds... prolly can survive without, but handy if ur a monk.

That's one of the things I hate about Prophecies.
Instead enemy parties of different professions of the same type of creature, you get too many parties of the very same creature, or several different creatures mixed.
Every single Pinesoul was near some of those annoying Ice Imps, or avicara, or azure shadows, instead being with other plants, like plants in Factions or Nightfall.
Avicara, charr, undead, mursaat and stone summit, and that's mostly all the mixed parties of the same type of creature you'll get.

The easiest way to get these is from Juniper barks in Traveller's Vale. Head out of Yak's to where the Judge (Boss) is on a bridge, there are usually a few there, then head west and north to Iron horse mines, should be about another 8-10. Exit zone and return back the way you came, I did mine in one trip out and back. It's all level 7-10 mobs so should be not to difficult for any profession and casual player to farm. Just bring some damage and a modest heal.

^ easiest and also most frustrating
some runs you get 5 dropped...some runs only 1 will spawn and it never drops a seed.
But still, its the easiest solo
(which is why I uploaded a video tutorial in that area about 2 hours before your post)

The spawns are a bit random so sometimes you'll be able to get at more pinesouls, sometimes less, but it's a pretty quick way to get the seeds.

Has anyone found Nick yet?
dr_ishmael
Mehtani Keys, on the tiny island in the center of the area. 2 Silver Bullion Coins per gift. No pic, sorry; my wife confirmed it at home, and she'll be adding dialogue to GuildWiki shortly.
aspi
That would seem like a very easy farm to me, thanks
DesignedEcho

Its ok Im still looking forward to your video on how to farm the item especially since its finals week and I dont have time to find a good farm myself lol
June Bug
Solo farmed the corsairs around the area where Nick was and it yielded me exactly the 10 needed.
KingCrab
I did the same but only got 6. I think there has to be a better place to farm since the isle with all the corsairs is far out.
Galderyn
Bye the way remember that Stolen Goods and Stolen Shipments may contain Tempered Glass Vial an Vials of Ink. Can be very profitable.
AndrewSX
Same as above...2 runs farming the corsairs around nick gave me just 10 coins...regular sos build, easy.

It's still pretty far out, but the groups are easier to pull apart so you won't be overwhelmed with 20+ corsairs at once like you are in the keys.
However, if you are from Prophecies or Factions and still have the quest A Land of Heros, you can farm them in the mini-mission that has about 50+ corsairs in it.

Also, Mehtani Keys....that's not on the mainland but on Istan right?
Mac_Eanruig
After 2 turns around the Temple in Issnur Ilses Reddog mentioned....
Looted 12 coins & a sack of junk. But junk is always good IMO. some runes were profitable. Still havn't made way to Nick yet. I'ma farm this temple some more and see how that goes. Thankx RD.

Yes, Mehtani Keys is on Istan.

this will be just like the old days of NF...mo/d colossal farm!
Mac_Eanruig
It's been a good farm. Was able to finaly get my W/ Vabbi Set last night.
So now i'm rune-ing up the other armor sets i had to buy for HoM.
Mostly i run FA a lot and sell ZKeys & Amber for cash. This is turning out to be slightly better IMO.

I just ran a generic /Rt spirit spam build in normal mode. I did one run on each character to the temple on Issnur Isles, grabbing the "burried treasure" on the way for some golds. After 7 characters, I netted 51 coins. Definitely not the fastest method, but pretty much roll-face-on-keyboard easy.
June Bug
Been said he is in Xaquang Skyway, center of map. 3 vermin hides.

Nice one! + Easy farming.

Good for chest runs if you can do the HM Farm outside Senjis Corner. Nice for Celestial drops
Tender Care
easy farm this time..and very fast...
I used my ritu with this bar: Life, mend body and soul, DwG, Ancestor's Rage, Destruction, Destroy Soul, Summon Spirits, I Am Unstoppable.
Easy to use: destroy the destruction spirit with destroy soul (sorry for word-game), ancestor's and DwG= dead.
