Backward check: he was indicated moving on page 23 of this thread, post #441 by Racoon, on Monday 04th May 3pm GMT (I guess vBulletin indicates my time, which is GMT+1?). So keep calm until tomorrow.

So much anticipation in this thread, it's almost palpable! .

I live in the UK...
The timezone here is GMT...
I have several clocks here that all display the correct time...
My forum settings are set to show times in GMT...

You're clearly living in the past ^^;

Nicholas the Traveler provides Gifts of the Traveler in exchange for various items to those that can find him. His location and requested item changes weekly, the exact time when this happens is currently unknown, although it seems to occur around or before 15:00 UTC (8:00 PDT) on Monday.

there was 2 weeks in Tyria and this is first week in Cantha so I expect another location in there. Then again they arent showing any patterns especially in the Zquest's so it could be anywhere.

So I finally got myself to get the 15 branches, which was quite annoying. All I got was 5 mysterious summoning stones, 5 mysterious tonics, 10 aged hunter's ales, and 10 blue rock candles. Oh well, hopefully I'll get something better tomorrow.

I hope he relocates somewhere that doesn't require a giant battle to get to him.

Sometimes Professor Yakkington is a slow ride. Be patient.

Surprised nobody has found the listing in the .DAT for where Nick will be and what he'll be looking for. I'm sure they have all the info in (or at least most of it) and it is just a matter of deciphering the 'where'. His dialog will tell you what he wants, but his location may not be in his dialog in a way as easy to find.

where is the fun in revealing that (if it exists)?
isnt more fun looking allover the maps, searching for him?

Why did you have to fight anyone to get to him ? , if you went north out of the marketplace you didnt need to fight anybody.

Umm, the time you are referring to (4 hours and 15 minutes from your post) is 17PM GMT+1. Which is when he moved last week. 3 hours 11 minutes from now.

Okay, I'll never get why daylight saving is included in the time count.

Because Greenwich should always be referred to as GMT+0, but with summer time it is now listed GMT+1 which is silly (I am 1 hour ahead of Greenwich, which should be GMT+1, not GMT+2 as it is quoted during summer time).

Very confusing.

I know that.

Which is why I added "not counting daylight saving" to begin with.

I think, because some areas of the world never offset there timezone with Daylight savings. So they never change for what ever there original +/- time is. But it is odd that Greenwich offsets to +1 and it is the one all of the others should follow.

Mine is normally GMT-6 central time (US), but right now is GMT-5(CDT US)

My words exactly.

I find that silly myself. There should be a norm every country goes with in regard of references to Time Zones.

He was still outside marketplace a few minutes ago. I would believe you would still have time if you went now. 8AM Pacific was about the time he moved last week.

He's got so overweight gorging on Kournans and Mandragor that he's not allowed to do the quest any more for medical reasons.

I thought it was all the rotten food that gave him food poisoning.

In any case, don't you need juniberries for the Black Moa chick quest?

Why shouldn't it work? The quest has nothing to do with Nicholas' location; it's a common quest that can be repeated infinitely.

P.S. You probably haven't done the quests with your second account that are a pre-requisite for this one to work.
