I'd like to see him collecting corrosive spider legs some day, as farming for gloom seeds and obsidian shards is getting me a lot of those.

But pretty much, anything from this list is a likely candidate. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Categ...ector_trophies

Considering his request for mandragor cake-

Im guessing the travler will at some point, ask for "Bottle of Vabbian Wine"=5 Sentient Spores

Too easy for farming you can solo and get this many in a hour

My guess since FOW was this week he will go to the shrine in snake dance for UW and Obsidian Burrower Jaw will be the ticket

and other obscure bullshit nonsense you've never really heard of for greedy kids to sell for 2k/each
greedy kids? I think you're just mad that you can't buy these items for merchant value then turn around and sell your gifts for 8k ea, and that you're too lazy/unskilled to farm them yourself.

here,here! i dont mind paying like 2k for a item and a little more if its hard to get or doesnt drop alot. i bet if the price for his gifts dropped they wouldnt moan about paying 2k. ..okay maybe some will still moan.

Factions - Oni Claw
NF - Diamond Djinn Essence
EOTN - Patch of Simian Fur

Disclaimer: I've got 8 Oni Claws
hate to be the one to call myself on it...but I called it....dessicated hydra claws - too bad I don't win crap for it LOL

well I'm thinkin it'll be Haiju Lagoon & forgotten trinket boxes... easy run but still a time consuming farm.

as an aside, I wish I had sold ALL of my hoarded margo masks B4 the weekend event was announced. Margo Mask Sales in the Lair are about to plummet!

Gods I sure hope so, but Nightfall thrice in a row? I'm betting on Factions. He's only been there once, and when he was, he needed kournan trophies.
I'm betting some damn hard to get jade sea/echovald forest drop.

If he asks for Kirin Horns (the ones that drop from jade torn kirin) i may have to go to Anet HQ and set whoever chose that item on fire.

In almost 4 years i have seen 1 drop, and its not like they are easy to farm either. About 4 or 5 on the map and they are all mixed in with big mobs.

even truffles aren't that rare.

Factions, Kaineng, Ancient Kappa Shells.

EDIT: If he goes EotN, I think he will probably want something ''elite'' like he did with Gloom Seeds. So it could be Diessa Chalices from CoF or Aged Dwarven Ales from Froni's Lair and other places.

So far I'm 1 for 7 (dess hydra claws), but I was close with diamond djinn essences a few weeks back! My picks for next week by campaign:

Proph: toss up between Shriveled Eyes and Frigid Hearts
Factions: Truffles
NF: He's not gonna do NF this time.
EOTN: Patches of Simian Fur (still feeling this one)

There are no golems in slavers, so it doesnt sound logical. Why not outside Oola's lab?

Perhaps a rogue golem has enslaved Yakkington and wants runestones as a ransom

He should require year 1 mini pets, that would help thin the heard. Being able to get rid of 5 1st year mini pets would be great! I'd rather give them to him for something useful rather than selling them for 1-2k to a player who's just gonna sell them for 5k to a newbie.

I'm not good at predicting loot reqs, since I don't know them all real well. But.

P - Phantasmic remains - phantom remains? Don't remember which it is, but its pretty rare (I think.)

F - No idea, truffles are hard to get but I'v had 5 (for that festival dish the cooks make)

N - Doubt hes gonna be here again and I can't think of anything harder to get than essences. Margonite masks are easy to get. Wish I would been on when he was taking those! (got 3 stacks)

E - Again, no idea. Not played enough to know loot drops.

*I hope he doesnt require anything from slavers exile as I havnt beaten EoTn yet and my pc is all kinds of wonky in that area (graphic driver failure)

Funny... trying to apply LOGIC to ANET... As if parchment and Zen Daijun are a perfect fit (week of 06/22/09)... I'll try to stop laughing long enough to make predictions for next week...
