I'm glad to see something a lower level can obtain. (I don't mean me.)
Got 8 charr hides in two short solo trips and a bonus of 23 char carvings.

For the people who are still farming/ need to start. May I suggest Flame Temple Corridor. I got 5 hides in about 10 minutes there, and its easy to zone to Dragon's Gullet and back for a reset. Nolani didn't give me anything and running around in the Breach gave me 2 hides and alot of Carvings.

Only thing other than consumables I have gotten was a Gwen Chan doll. Cute, but I really really want a Professor Yakkington. ::crosses fingers:: Hoping for better luck when I can get in game after work tonight.
Nanood
Yay. Thank you for this easy way to get some presents this week. Much love <3

Also Wintersday 2005, lots of people were farming here to get charr hides or outside of town to get gargoyle skulls.
ShadowbaneX
ugh, every week it just keeps getting worse.
10 Aged Ales, 10 Bottle Rockets, 5 Mysterious Tonics, 5 Green Rock Candies and 5 Mercantile Summoning Stones.
Was the first month worth of gifts just really good drops or something?

It's the longest it took to find Nicolas this week, 1hr15mins...
It's hard to believe it is such an easy farm this week. ANet must have realised last week was a flop in that it took some grind for 15 scalps for the gifts.
Or maybe they saw less people making effort for the Traveller last week?
Or maybe they do not want the gifts to become another trading commodity, i.e. 10 gifts for obby edge, etc. but rather trying to reduce the value and introducing easy farms.
This week is definitely not on par with last week, is one thing I can say though.

hope this week will be better
headlesshobbs
I think some people were confused the other day when they went scalp hunting at Bergen Hot Springs, I got to just sit there and watch how many people were going after the wrong type.
nitetime
Everyone 55s out of Bergen, im sure they were not going for scalps. Its sad you think that.
and whats with you people, hoping for better luck then a gwen chan?!? I can only wish.
my last two weeks and still waiting for anything decent.

Officially best required item ever!
I left my heroes in the outpost, loaded up an INSANELY fun resto/channeling build and trashed the Charr in The Breach.
The presents were total crap of course BUT this time the road made so much fun that I just didn't care about the reward.
GW at it's best!
BRAVO, BRAVO!

On average, I got 6-8 scalps per run, with one even yielding 11. This was me and 4 heroes in Talus Chute, took me about 22-25min per run, killing all the Avicara.
Anyway, I am not complaining, it gives a person a break from the normal part of the game, thinking about builds, etc... I was just making an observation, compared to last week, this week is a breeze... an hour later and I have me enough hides for 6 accounts
Let the good times roll!

talk about opposing difficulties between this week and last week. the farm last week wasn't really hard, per se, but more difficult than char hides.. lol

The easier collector item was appreciated this week.

Charr Hides seemed deceptively simple(especially one per gift), and somehow I thought there must be a catch. There is none. Thank you ANet. Hopefully, this means we will have a peaceful week without ten districts full of people trying to make ludicrous amounts of money from this week's item. I think most everyone can do this one themselves.
