They should do this every week, I bet people have lots of mats in their inventories and storage.
I love these farms.

No, I can't. I'm waiting for other people to confirm his location, just like you.

Luxon farming it is then! Pretty easy week, and I need to do a load of farming for my luxon title.

easy week? theres only like 4 or 5 guardians in MQSC, so it is not so easy.

Guardian Moss? There aren't too many Island Guardians per zone. This won't be a fun farm. At least you only need 5 per account. Maybe I'll just farm Scourgewind. He's right outside Leviathan pits and since he's a boss, he can drop more than 1 at a time.

Guardian moss? Woot - easy farm - I was doing that for the new years celebration last year and managed to get a lot of extras

Its a very easy farm, but I'll agree potentially tedious. A decent team can clear that run in 8-12 mins, a few runs over the week will net you the moss you need. Alternatively there are quite a few outside of the Boreas Seabed outpost. If you feel this is too much hassle for you, then by all means buy them.

Crap. Threw a few away yesterday and I remember thinking "Wouldn't it suck if this was the Nicholas collectible this week?"

Turns out yes, it would suck. What a crazy random happenstance. Ah well, I could use the extra motivation for Luxon VQ farming anyway.

I've done MQSC constantly for the last 2 evenings, and not gotten a single one.. so it's not that common a drop, so this will mean moss will be selling for a lot.

Sweet, kept the 6 I got during the Rot Wallow Tusk farm. First item of the 60+ I've stored that Nicholas actually needs.

BTW, I do notice a pattern where Nicholas is requesting an item that drops from a monster that was part of a previously farmed mob. I actually already have 5 of these ready to go from when we were having to farm Rot Wallows a ways back.

I thought these were a pain when i farmed them for the Canthan new year, so i was saving them up all year already so i wouldn't have to farm them for the new year... I guess i still have to farm them again later then

What other items? Sapphire/Water Djinn Essences and Mandragor Roots/Luminous Stones? I'd hardly call that a pattern.

Same here! I have 24 stored away from all those MQSC runs - as I knew these would be a hard farm if Nic ever wanted them

I'm at a loss figuring out how to solo these things with a monk or ele.

I wish I had a sin there, would probably make my life easier.

Or where, for that matter. Drop rate is really low, I'm tempted to just buy them but that sort of defeats the purpose.

You should be able to Spirit Spam... pretty much any/Rt can do it. And pretty much all items for Nicholas can be farmed with a spirit spammer.

Pongmei Valley, outside Boreas.
Pull the nearest Rot Wallows to the shrine for easy kills (NPCs help). Then kill the nearest Island Guardian with spirits.

Next put your spirits at the top of the cliff near where the first Guardian was (recast or use Summon Spirits). Then you can hit the second Island Guardian with a longbow/flatbow, and the spirits will attack it... without aggroing all its Rot Wallows :-D

Then run to the third Guardian... same thing, put spirits at Longbow range, and you can kill it without aggroing its Wallows.

Resign, repeat. A sprint, a heal, or "I am Unstoppable!" may help to pick up Guardian Moss if it drops.

Yeah, forgot i had a ranger. He's pretty good at poopin spirits. drop rate is really, really low though. Wish there was a better spot, this is going to take forever to get the 15 I need (multiple accts).

Would have been easier if Nick had wanted Scourgewind's Staves ... got 7 of them while farming said boss, and I even happened to have 2 mosses in storage in anticipation of the next celestial dinner. Well, duh, and Nick gave the same stuff as usual. Not. A. Single. Special. Present. For. My. Account. Since. The. Beginning

had 4 moss leftover from the poor guardians that died as a result of my massacring a great many rot wallow last time nick was in the area....sold them for 3.5k ea this morning. If prices remain at that level we would have a profitable nick farming week ahead.
