So, if he stays in Silverwood, good chance of either maguuma manes, ancient eyes, or mossy mandibles - here's hoping for the last!

He can be reached using a SaO chain ; he's looking for Maguuma Manes.

My point was to show you what he's looking for ; doesn't matter if you can't reach him now, he will obviously move before the end of the week.

Sorry could you please explain for the less educated what exactly a SaO-Chain ist ?
Strike as One i gathered from the images myself, but i seem not able to get anything workable there.

Once at least two pets have stopped wandering you should target the farthest pet, have the rest step to it, and repeat until you can't get the pets to go any further. Stop maintaining Return and hope you make it. You may also want to bring Serpent's Quickness on the heroes to speed up the process.
Hope that explains it.

Well, isn't this just an awkward way to start the week?
I think Nick may be protesting, making a point that NPCs should be able to use portals. It would make his travels a lot easier if he could cut through towns instead of having to go around them, which often means climbing mountains or scaling cliffs.

How do you target an NPC? Didn't think you could do that. Better yet, how do you get a hero to target an NPC?

You have the target selected and manually use a skill on the hero.

I know the Live team needs it in order to put up with all of us, but whoever is in charge of placing Nick really needs to give up the drink on Monday mornings.

On topic, I thought this would be a dreadful farm, but the whole southern part of Silverwood itself is swarming with centaurs, with nothing else to get in the way. Quick and easy!

They obviously meant for this to happen, so they had 2 chances of sneaking in data for the next updates in march without it looking too large :P

Priceless! anet should make it a contest each week (for a day) to place Nick in extremely "odd and unreachable" places just to see who is first to reach him.
