Nicholas the Traveler - Location Discussion (Updated Mondays)

Honestly, it's not that difficult to get the gifts this week. I'm slowly getting roots for gifts for my 2nd and 3rd account by afking most of the time in Arkjok ward (with sabway+devona+menhlo). I rarely get more than 4 roots, but got a white dye and a few golds. It's no revolution, but well afk doesn't cost a dime.

farmed 15 roots, bought another 30 for rest of my accounts...sold 14 gifts, opened 1 - 5 mercantiles...like only useful summon

I love inscriptions on the weapons now, means I can switch out anytime I need to change one (if I don't have another weapons of course)

It took me 6 runs to get 15 roots in NM with H+H... well 1 run was with a guildmate and we still only got 1 root. Oddly, at about the 4th run I started getting multiple root drops per run and the last run I got 4 and after making the cakes I went back to Nick, killed more Mandragors along the way and got 4 more roots.
It's really not at all difficult, mostly tedious, way more interesting then getting those juni berries, and there's a silver lining. I made over 10k, 2 green dyes, 1 brown, 2 red, got three gold drops including 1 perfect req9 Gladius. All in all a prosperous endeavor. I am not complaining. Plus I sold the extra cake and have 1 root left. I may go back out to get more and sell the cakes since so many people are lazy about farming the roots.
As for the gifts. Nothing special. I really do want a keg of ale. But I love those mysterious summoning stones. They're fantastic to use on HM missions and vanquishing.

Imho, its more of caravan vanquish thing where you really, really, can not leave map to merch loot and where ally is useful when you are done selling stuff (he follows party, right).
Lonesamurai
maybe a Xunlai Storage Summon would be useful too

A xunlai chest following me around would be so epic.

He has moved at the same time every week, 15:00 UTC, which was one minute ago. That means he has moved already so the hunt has begun! 
Edited to add: I just checked in-game for myself and I can confirm Nicholas has moved.
