Nicholas the Traveler - Location Discussion (Updated Mondays)
Shewmake
Meh... I'm just gonna wait until he moves again.
Gli
Normal mode, Arkjok Ward, party of 4: first run got me 4 roots, next run got me 5 and the last got me 6. Three heroes and me, though I didn't really do much myself because I spent much of the time on the phone.
As for the gifts: 4 times 10 fireworks and 5 mysterious summoning stones.

Another week another keg. That makes 3 so far and an Ascalon Razor...anyone buying booze?
Minami
Got:
Ascalon Razor
10 Aged Hunter's Ale
Champagne Poppers
5 Mysterious Summoning Stones
5 Merchant Summoning Stones
On that note, what are Ascalon Razors worth?

Still waiting to see him show up in Unwaking Waters (explorable) outside the entrance to the Kurzick mission outpost and ask for 3 Titan Gemstones :O
I find it funny how quick people change their views on this new NPC. When he was first out, people were raving about this new option to acquire new items. Now I see people complainging about what they get from him. Not even a month in, and people already start to complain.

Solo'd with A/Me
1st Run, HM - First mob: 1 Root...died fairly soon after and lost patience.
Went back, NM - cleared entire area 9 Roots.
meh. Fine by me.
At least this way, people have to work if they want to make a profit from the items. Farm them, buy them, or wait till next week. Simple as.
I'd rather this than people just buying out the Rare Mat trader and charging stupid prices for zero effort.

I usually only get 1 or 2 per run (with human PUG).
But one run I got 6. Everyone was super jealous, but it seems to even out over time.
So far I got 3 gifts:
10 Hunter's ale
5 Mercantile Summons
10 Bottle Rockets
Still hoping for Gwen Doll or Moss Spider.

I went with my Sin + 3 Discord Necros + Devona => Got 5 roots per run on NM, 15 mins per run, had my 5 cakes with 3 runs plus 2K+ in gold.
I must admit that this Nicholas dude has made me go to places I hadn't gone in over a year.

I just find it funny that people complain about the time it takes to farm the roots (or the berries last week). You have a whole week to farm them, nothing says you have to get them all within an hour of him showing up at a new location. Farm a few each day and by the time the weekend comes you'll have all you need. Too many people out to make a quick profit and expect to get 10 roots per run.
This is a perfect example of how people now days are totally all about instant gratification. Its all " me first" and "I want it all RIGHT NOW" and "I don't want to have to work for it" mentality. And now people are complaining about the rewards he gives? Sometimes you just can't make people happy.
/end rant
//my lawn, get off it

That being said, eh, well, if you want the profit, you have to farm, and you have to deal with it.

Couple hours work is all it took me.
And it doesn't make me laugh, it makes me despair for the evolution of hoomanity.

I think the "quote" gives weapons a nice extra touch.
This could be a nice addition to green weapons. "This is Kanaxai's Axe. A very tiny axe for a big bully."
Not sure about the length of the text and if people would have to examine it more closely, it could also be annoying and clutter the screen.

Anet could even make a contest of it!
Obsidian Edge - "You know it's ugly, just sell it for phat lootz."
Mask of the Mo Zing - "Please don't combine this with Black Obsidian armor and Chaos Gloves."

On the Root thing, I managed to launch three clients at the same time, makes farming them Roots a bit faster
DreamRunner
Vanquished the entire area. 1 root with a party of 8
HM -3 runs - 2 roots, 3 heroes
NM -4 runs - 1 roots, 3 heroes
During vanquishing the area I got lockpick, I was pretty happy about that. But everyone seems to see them growing on tree's and I have yet to see that but in my guild I have been known to have bad luck. Actually when we did some HM dungeon runs they were complaining that ever since I went along they have gotten worse drops.

But yeah the little description/quote is a nice touch which some other games have, and they're fun to read sometimes. Like the IDS one, I find that somewhat amusing.
As for the roots, so far I've still not farmed any for myself, and since prices are already dropping, I'm going to go get me 15 and get myself some presents, see if I get luckeh.

Exactly. I can run one dungeon in around an hour and buy all the roots I need.

I discoved there is no difference in drop rates for the roots in HM nor NM...so NM is fast and easy 6 roots per run.

Still no Spider Egg, though.
