We just need some strategy and some good builds and we're in business.

I am not at all happy about this. I spent hours farming those flippin' skins, and now I have to do it all over again with behemoth hides?!!

Some customer service Arena Net.

*shrug* You now have the skins for next time if they roll around.

So yeah, I don't know if I'm posting this reply correctly but what the hell. This is so far the best place I've found to farm behemoth hides. There's about 20 or so behemoths clustered in this area and you can reset the area by traveling back and forth from yatendi canyons to here. Good luck.

I found the same place but I come southwest out of Yahnur market (which is hidden on the previous map). You only have 2 groups of plants, 1 group of heckets and 5-6 groups of 3-4 behemoths. Got two hides tonight in three runs rezoning before the bridge - going back tomorrow.

Oh wow, I didn't know about Yahnur market! That makes this so much easier lol.

Except for the fact that I highly doubt they will come up again any time in the next year. There are over 200 different collectibles in the game. They change on a weekly basis.

There's 46 Behemoths in Vehjin Mines near the Holdings of Chokhin portal, at least in hard mode. Easy to 600/smite, and zone back and forth to reset.

Yeah, but when it does roll back around, you'll be ahead of the game.


Need skins? You're holding the monopoly!

I could see them doing the skin next week to try to make up for screwing some people over. When Anet messes up like this they usually atleast try to make up for it in some way.

Then the people that sold them to merch will be REALLY PISSED LOL.

Why would you merch any collectible/stackable if you are interested in Nicholases gifts?

I do.

1. I don't have enough room to keep all of the collectibles
2. The little extra money from selling collectible is better than hoarding all of them for half a year hoping that you will have the right item for that week.

Aww, I thought I would have an easy 20 presents this week but now I will only get 10. What have we learnt? Farm for Nick before going to sleep

Vehjin Mines - right side is best farm imo. You can rezone to Holdings if you wish to have Hides faster... 600hp is easy there.

I find it funny that people are expressing so much grief over having farmed Krait skins for Nicholas when they knew (or should have known) that he was bugged.

That said, I don't know why remedying the situation had to also result in his position being changed. I wonder if this buggy situation will result in something like Nicholas showing up in an old spot in the far future?

Because there's a 1/xxx(x?) chance of a trophy/collector item being the one for the gift. Personally I don't have the storage to hold hundreds/thousand+ of items for the slight chance of it being useful each week.

The update text in the first post had me very confused....early monday morning on my clock Nick was still in zehlon reach. I got my gifts for krait skins around 10PM evening...
Well thats the thing with american time...I guess they fixed him morning american time, but it can still confuse us Euros...

Because even though I bought all the storage panes, my storage is cramped full and I don't have any collectibles in there? Where would you like me to find 200 extra storage slots?
