Àh, my weekly +1 thread.

I hope I get something cool again. So I can give it away once more.

So, he's collecting nothing - that's a first - and very hard to farm.

Check my vault balance...I've got LOTS of nothing... so I can easily meet that request, then.

Maybe for once he'll just give us 5 gifts without anything in return? We can hope, right?

We could try handing him stuff till we find out what he wants

What drops around there? Krait skins maybe? (or maybe undead bones from SoO - that would be nice)

Maybe Nick just hasn't made up his mind yet, or perhaps he's thinking about moving because he feels about Arbor Bay like I do and he's saying "What the hell am I doing in a crappy krait infested stinkhole like this?"

I'd move too. I hate Arbor Bay.

EDIT: Do the windrunners drop eyes here? At least if it is something a windrunner drops, they're easy to farm with the right build.

I was concerned about his Skale fetish the last couple of weeks. I actually saved the Skale teeth just in case. Maybe he's making a reptile suit.

If it's Krait skins he wants, that's great news for me. I've already got a stack of over 50 of them in storage collected during previous adventures in the Asuran territory.

All of my pack-ratting may finally be starting to pay off!

Do people on the internet actually know the definitions of words like "epic" and "monumental"?

This was an incident of missing text, that took players all of 13 minutes to figure out, and will be easily inserted by the devs.

What words do you reserve for mistakes that are actually large in scale or significance?

That screenshot with Nick not knowing what he is collecting is just awesome, I saved it.
I love things like that. and roll eyes on people who are dissing Anet for not having the text in there.
That screenie would go in a thread like that one where people put their memories of Guild Wars a few years from now when we are playing GW2.

Kill Krait. If they drop a skin, pick it up.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I'm going to try a spirit spamming ritualist build a little later, but haven't had a chance to test it quite yet. If that fails, I may try perma-sinning it (I suppose I should look to see if the krait use skills that would bypass Shadow Form first).

Have done this farm for less than an hour and have 20+ skins.

Using X/Rt spirit spammer build in NM. Can't kill the group with the boss. To avoid meeting the patrolling group later on when solo farming, I bring a full party out with me to kill them (and 2 groups of 2-3 Krait on my way there). Flag them away once done.

I used a warrior btw, with only pathetic 2 pips of E-regen I'm sure other professions can do a better job.

Note: Avoid being targeted by the Elementalist Krait who hurt a bit if you let them cast their stuff on you

Easily shadow farmed. Only potential problem is if you encounter a monk, just gather up some of the warriors around him so he blows his energy healing them. It will take a little time, but he'll go down.

I think folks these day are using words like "Government Bailout", "Stimulus Plan", and "Healthcare Reform". Heh. Couldn't resist.

OT: Krait skins...time to farm some asura rep points while hunting for some skins. Do these skins drop as readily in HM as they do in NM? I may be at rank 8 in asura.
