Looked all over Talmark (WiK instance) and he is not there.
Bassma
Wow you guys are slow today finding him.

Talmark... No Nick here. I just finished mapping it a minute ago. he may not have spawned on my first run through though since that has been the issue as of late.
June Bug
The German site says he is looking for Abnormal Seeds. But where in Talmark is that?

He stands in the near of the Collector Ember Whisperwind, but only if you dont have the War in Kryta running.

Just scroll down to check the one for this week ;p
Ariane
Yes, he is there (where the secret passage is supposed to be). My paragon hasn't started WiK content, so she can see him.
Edit: if you have finished WiK, have you tried dropping all wanted quests from the quest log in order to see him?
aspi
dont see nick near the collector, and I dont have wik running. Strange.
June Bug
WiK seems to bork up his appearances. Like in Watchtower Coast, WiK = no Nick, No WiK = Nick. But here it's a bit different again.

And also, if you never started WiK to begin with, then it isn't a problem. Just farm on your best farmer and then use storage chest to give it to a toon that has finished/not started WiK to go get gifts from Nick
But of course he may just have a messed up spawn for unknown reasons, like he did a few weeks ago when he collected Stormy Eyes
Kashikali
hes there all right... i went on a char who hasnt started WiK
Refia
Chars who havent started WiK can see him fine, but those that have WiK active, or finished even cant seem to get him.
Porkchop Sandwhiches
I zoned in/out multiple times and don't see him on my character with any active WiK quests, but she has completed it. Bummer.
Black Metal
protip: when there's a mission or a quest that involves different spawns, it's like a second copy of the map, and if you have that one active, you'll get the alternate map. Of course, Nick won't be added to it
Nerel
I just ran out there on my warrior (who hasn't started WiK, and has no WiK related quests), no sign of Nicholas...
Buggy much?

Protip: Competent programming by Anet would make this a non-issue.
Snograt
Hmm, let's take a guess at this.
We all know Nicholas doesn't spawn when certain quest-related spawns are in the area. What's the odds that the quest-related spawn in this instance is the secret river passage?

It definitely seems that only pre-WiK characters can get to him. WiK-in-progress characters get an instance of the area with the Shining Blade camp. Post-WiK characters still get a different instance of the zone, the one with the secret passage and probably the camp too (I never visited the site post-WiK so I'm not sure if the camp's still there).
Luckily my only pre-WiK character had already reached the Temple of the Ages.

Yeah. I brought a character that hasn't finished Proph and EoTN and he spawns. I'll just farm the seeds and transfer them to her and get my gifts.
Inasha
All my characters have finished Proph so I can't get him to spawn.
This just increases my annoyance with the fact that WiK starting is non-optional, even on accounts that don't have EotN, once you finish Proph

Nerel
So far checked with...
A character who has WiK quests active : No Nicholas.
A character on an account that is eligible for WiK but has never taken a WiK related quest : No Nicholas
A character on an account without EotN, ergo NOT eligible for WiK : No Nicholas.
All were checked individually with only H/H in the party...
Quality work as always Anet
Edit: He spawned for my alt account's mesmer who hasn't finished Prophecies.
I was rather hoping that he wouldn't spawn so I could call shenanigans on the screen shots posted above, the alternative would be that Anet really is this haphazardly inept. Fix it.
