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).
That's what I was doing earlier. It worked fine in smaller groups, but the spirits obviously got over powered in the big krait groups. Not the fastest method, but it was a lot more successful than the PuG's I found farming them.

Did it with 600 tank, me as smiter and a ranger with eoe, qz and famine to speed it up a lil. Not sure if famine was worth to bring. Only annoying part was that monk boss. Break agro and get a different group works best.

Spirit spamming is what I've been doing. It works so long as you're very careful with aggro. The Arcanoss are the biggest threat with that method, I find. Necross are a pain but easily killable, Neoss you just can wipe the floor with, and Hypnoss will interrupt you but otherwise aren't difficult.

I was keeping to groups of three or less and doing okay.

lol... that Trophy greet text was pretty hilarious! Thx Anet.

Thank God, the dev that coded Nic is not unhappy in his job or very eccentric in his coding.
Stuff like "Put Nic's random who-gives-a-shit weekly message here" or "Yes, insert what you put here for people to collect, nubs", etc.
..hehe

Will start farming soon.

Ack! No Nicholas! And I was told he is being reset and moved because someone was collecting gifts yesterday. This is not at all fair to the people who spent hours farming stuff only to find him gone. If this is true, I spent 3 hours farming enough Krait Skins for my guild, and now I have to start over from scratch. I am a very unhappy person right now.

Oh good, they only moved him I am told. He is supposedly still collecting Krait skins, just in a different location. Now off to find him once again.

Ayup, they killed him with the patch... LOL, wtf.

So. I spend over half an hour looking where he supposed to be, and where in fact I've seen him before. But he is not there. And now they moved him? And didn't tell us where?

Words can express how I feel, but I would get modded for them.

I've been through the entire map of arbor bay and theres no sign of that traveller...my guess would be that they moved him in magus stones (the only other place with krait) or they forgot to put him in game... magus stones here i come!

He's been in areas before that didn't have the monster he wanted trophies from. For example, chromatic scales when he was in Ice Cliff Chasms. Or gloom seeds when he was in the Falls.

So it's possible that he could be in a location without Krait.

I'm inclined to believe he's not in any area, but prove me wrong, please! (and also tell me he's collecting something different so I get more gifts )
