yes i can imagine them,
though it's weird i didn't see that line in the wiki,

did a search on 'limit' and it came up negative.

even though i don't like it, otherwise i would not have run around for a full hour farming pincers :P...

I destroyed, literally about 12 of these yesterday >_>

Ah well, easy enough farm. Got my 30 (for me/boyfriend) in Zehlon Reach in about 30min.

I remember when Nick first started - red iris flowers if I remember correctly. I thought - Aha! Went to Eye of the North and spent a very very dull hour farming (harvesting) them from Gwen's garden. Took about a stack of them to Nick and he gave me 5 presents! Unimpressed.

After I'd thought about it though, how broken would it have been to have unlimited gifts? That said, I sold the remaining 235 iris flowers to someone else who thought I didn't know about the traveler

No doubt, he sold on the 220 remaining flowers to another poor soul 10 minutes later.

Nicholas Sarkozy? Probably France at a guess.

If you after Nicholas the Traveler though, he changes every Monday, but is currently in Fahranur on Istan (NF)

Hope that helps

And you might want to hang onto any Mergoyle Skulls, Hardened Humps, Shadowy Remnants, or extra Bog Skale Fins you might get while farming. He'll be asking for those in the future. Oh, yeah, Glowing Hearts and Feathered Caromi Scalps, too.

Psh, basically anything that drops in Kryta.

Nick hasn't been following the previous list order since he restarted. That said, the advice to buy linen is sound, since it will be stupidly expensive come the week he's collecting it. Jade and Amber also spring to mind.

Well, Jade and Amber is fairly easy to farm. Just do some factions PvP.

Since Nick is repeating his prior visit locations, just in a different random order, he should be here:



Closest town is Ventari's Refuge. And it will be one Gloom Seed per gift.

So do the Gloom Seeds only drop in "Fissure of Woe" as it states in wiki?>

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Gloom_Seed

And if so.. is the below the way to get there? Thanks for advice.


Getting there

To get to The Fissure of Woe, all players of the party must be Ascended or Weh no Su (Elonian characters may instead complete the quest Hunted!). Players must then either use a Passage Scroll to the Fissure of Woe, or pay 1 to a Champion of Balthazar at a Statue of Balthazar while the world has the Favor of the Gods in any of the following locations:

Believe it or not, the worst price i've seen this time was 100g per hide. Some were 50g each. I ran out and got 6 just clearing charr on the way to Nick. Best week ever.

This seems like an odd amount for nicholas to take considering how easy it is to get hides. I have 58 in storage from vanqushing all the Ascalon areas and several dozen in pre.

People tried to sell at that price. It was a very easy week and the price was undercut significantly.

This will be a good experiment if anyone wants to try it. There is a Djinn group patrolling right outside the Bone Palace (Alkali Pan). I am a believer that if you zone into an area and kill the closest mob that they rarely drop anything BUT if you zone in and wait about a minute they drop normally. I think this is some sort of antifarming code. I'll do a bunch of runs tonight and see what kind of drops I get from that mob and record my findings.

I believe the same thing, but these essences never dropped very often for me... maybe they drop better when you can farm them solo, but i cant. I probably gonna skip this week.
