I like the way the Blue, Green and Red Rock candies show up with a colored font.

two weeks, both near portals, both near collectors

This is just a hunch, but seeing as he started in Pre, then Old Ascalon, now the Northern Shiverpeaks - aka the way a normal person would play through Prophecies - my guess for next week is somewhere in Kryta, and if you force me to narrow it down, I'll say Nebo Terrace by the Glowing Heart collector near Beetletun. I'm going to quote myself after he moves so you can all either point and laugh or stand in awe
Also, 20 Honeycombs, Keg of Aged Ale, 10 Sparklers, 10 Jars of Honey.

Man, I should've paid attention. I was going to grab some quick gifts with my mule accounts while he was still in the easy parts of Proph. I can get to him until he passes lions arch I guess.

This isn't Anet's fault imho just the player based economy at its finest.

What's actually funny is that I managed to buy quite a few gifts of the traveler today for less than the price I managed to sell my 220 spare linen for per 15.
Of course, I got nothing I actually want out of those gifts.

I, personally, would prefer if he only collected collectable drops.

My solution to linen
It was easier if you had a new toon in pre profs just farm the seeds around The Barradin Estate
and salvage them into fibers from salvage kits you bought with the other drops then make the jump to
Post around lvl 5 i was.
But instead of going to Ascalon straight away after making the jump head to
Sardelac Sanitarium mark that gain access to your storage drag some gold out
go back outside the portal to the trader and trade 5 fibers and 200g for 1 linen.
I got mine very quickly this way plus a black and white dye from pre.

Will be interesting if he ever asks for Ectos or Rubies. xD
I just 600'd the Mirror of Lyss for Plant Fibers...tons of plants there, and a lot of the drops (Briar Blades, Briarwood Scythes) salvage to Fibers, too. Only took me a few minutes.

I'm wondering if once he goes everywhere if it becomes sporadic or if it repeats.
Oh god not ectos or rubies for rock candies

Fortunately, I had precisely 15 Linen in inventory... (was storing up for Necro's Vabbian). Pawned off the gifts on Monday for 5k apiece, whoo.
I wonder if this is ANet artificially upping the price of cheap items/materials by draining cash and the excess of materials out of the economy... hence why today I went to trader and stocked up on other low-valued mats, like Spiritwood Planks and Monstrous Eyes. If he ever asks for Silk, I'm gonna make a fortune (got 81 silk in there, too cheap to sell atm).

I got a keg this week and a VDS last week, not too shabby. But this guy tried to sell me the presearing gifts of the huntsman when I was buying the traveler's gifts in Yaks today. I did a double take, and realized what he put up. People are pretty great, right?

Yeah, according to Wiki you can only get the drunkard/sweet tooth/party animal items out of it, and then only the wussy ones (basically no candies/ageds/displays/tonics). So it's good for permapres looking for title, but vastly inferior outside pre.

From the Huntsman gift you can get 5 of either Hunters Ale, Aged Hunters Ale, Bottle rockets, sparklers, poppers, honeycombs, or jars of honey.
You can get 5 gifts per day x 365 gifts a year = 1825 gifts which each provide 5 consumable items or 9125 in total which if distributed evenly comes to around 1303 of each of the 7 items.
Travelers gifts are weekly so in a year you will only get 52 x 5 = 260 gifts there are 28 different items you may get from each travelers gift, some items come in 10, 5 and 1 gift per bag.
So to say the Huntsman gifts are inferior is a mater of opinion, if you collect the bags every day you will get the first tier of the sweets, party, and drunkard titles by years end.
I get both.
The gifts from the Traveler are much better, but in a different way they have some very nice additions; but for title points the huntsman gifts seem much better. Are Travelers = Huntsman gifts, no because of the chance to get the mini pets, flashier consumables, summoning stones, and weapons, not to mention the only way to get a moss spider pet.
Are Huntsman gifts inferior, well just depends on your point of view. I wouldn’t call them inferior just not as flashy. From a title based point of view no, the items from Huntsman gifts are much easier and faster to gain points from. Looking at it from a weekly gain you can get 5 gifts of the Traveler, or 35 gifts of the Huntsman, Monthly 20 GoT and 140 GoH, and Yearly 260 GoT and 1825 GoH. If all things were equal yearly points from the Huntsman gifts would be about 3909 party points, 3909 sweet tooth points and 3909 drunkard points from aged ale plus if managed right at least 1000 points from the hunters ale.
Qing Guang
Impressive math. I'll agree that both can be profitable; however, I meant that a single Gift of the Huntsman is vastly inferior to a single Gift of the Traveler, so if you're buying it's better to purchase the latter (at least once the price settles down).
Moving on: is it too early to start predicting what he will collect next? My bets are:
*other depreciated mats, like Silk or Monstrous Eyes
*items with no collector (Ashen Worm Husks, Phantom Residue, Dark Remains, maybe Taro Leaves?)
*collector items that no one bothers with (like the ones that can be turned in for armor - rarely used AFAIK since collector armor can't take insignias)
*newly added items?
*t'would be nice (though I doubt they'd do it) if he collected those annoying quest items that there are a million of and you only need one (ie Swamp Flowers), or those ones that you can pick up for no good reason (Marks of Aidan, Marking Webs)
Any other ideas?

As long as he stays in Proph, and more importantly, somewhere in proph I feel like running my mules to.
So if I can get 20 a week, someone with more accounts could get more.
Or maybe they just bought them from someone else :O
