Nicholas the Traveler

Nicholas the Traveler is a traveling collector who appears in various places in Tyria, Cantha, and Elona. He exchanges Gifts of the Traveler for various stackable items.

Current Location
Nicholas the Traveler is in Mourning Veil Falls, collecting 5 Tempered Glass Vials for 1 Gift of the Traveler.

Note: Xue Yi in Kaineng Center will craft glass from 5 and 20.

If your guild's faction (Kurzick/Luxon) is not currently in control of Mourning Veil Falls, you can quickly reach Nicholas by exploiting the resurrection shrines. When you enter from Durheim Archives, the shrine just outside will not activate because you are not allied with the NPCs who control it. Simply walk into the first group of enemies and die, and you will resurrect at the nearest unaligned shrine, which happens to be right next to Nicholas.

Dialogue
"Every romantic in Cantha knows that the water from these falls has special properties, and I have the dubious honor of knowing many romantics. Sometimes my good nature can attract too many friends! Anyway, I constantly get requests to bring back water samples. If only I had more Tempered Glass Vials within which to carry the panacean fluid. Friend, do you have 5 I could use? All the heartbroken poets of Cantha would be grateful."

Trivia

 * Nicholas's name is probably a reference to the gift-giving Saint Nicholas.
 * Nicholas always travels with his trusty partner, Professor Yakkington.
