Talk:Nicholas the Traveler/Archive 1

How many maps will you put there ?

Or are you going to change it each week ?

— TulipVorlax 14:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * No idea. I support the second option myself. Or a subpage of (past) locations; I presume he'll cycle. Slowly :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  14:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought of a new map each week. But the supbage is another very good suggestion. Kaede 17:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Being unfamiliar with wikis, I'm not sure how to set this up. I think it might be a good idea to redirect the term "Traveler" to this page.


 * Maybe a table with dates and links to locations similar to the treasure logs? Might be nice to have something similar Cyberhythm 09:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Third item under Notes states 'The items he requests depend on his location' ... This wording is misleading, as the items collected are NOT dependent on location - how many Gloom Seeds drop in The Falls (w/c 25 May)? The items are not even dependent on the chapter Nick is collecting in (e.g. Juni Berrry Branches from NF collected in Factions w/c 4 May). GW-Fantaghiro 05:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Drop rate
Anyone compiling info yet? So far I've had 5 mysterious summoning stones, 5 mysterious tonics (x2), 10 aged hunters ales and 3 disco balls (3 min firework display). Cyberhythm 09:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Santa?

 * I don't think so -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 05:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dunno... "Nicholas"... maybe. Maybe not. I'm pretty sure he doesn't restrict the gift-giving to good girls and boys, though. :P Qing Guang 06:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Was confirmed by the Live Team during the Sanitarium.fm Ascension Show April 28th. The name is a reference to both Saint Nick and to Nicholas Angel from the movie Hot Fuzz taking place in Sandford.76.0.80.227 08:44, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Note
I think a note should be added stating that he does not share the "5 gifts per reset" limit with his Pre-Searing counterpart. I've wondered this, and been asked this quite a few times by others. talk & cont  07:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dunno. Same guy, different time periods. Different items collected. Different gifts. I suspect this particular confusion will only last for a short while.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 07:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * But he does only allow you to get 5 gifts per reset --[[Image:Kirbman sig.png]] Kirbman 17:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Reset Times
I Have updated the page to say that he moved between 1:30am and 8:30am PST (Pacific Time) if anyone knows the exact time he changes location can you please update this entire section.

Gift Reset Condition
Are you able to get 5 new gifts immediately after he resets to a new location? Or do you need to wait 7 days since your last visit to get new gifts? - Kalendraf 9:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You can get 5 new ones at the new location. So, p'haps the limit should be restated to: 5 gifts until NtT moves to a new location.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

New location

Location 27-04-09
I just found him - pure luck as I was not searching for him - in Traveler's Vale, near portal to Iron Horse Mine. In that location, he wants 3 Bolts of Linen. --Dreamy Lull 16:47, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Nicholas The Traveler Location - Tutorial - April 27 Update (Large HD Version)

Item Difficulty

 * If you haven't noticed yet, they removed Bolts of Linen from the rare material trader for this week. They have also removed plant fiber from material trader (becuase Artisons can craft linen from it). Now i'm gonna have to farm plant fibers T.T boring. -Rølin
 * It might just be easier to salvage some linen. --  Shadowcrest  00:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The rare material traders ran out of linen; the common material traders sold all their fiber. GW traders only stock their goods when characters sell to them; when there's a run on the market, the traders will run out of supplies. (ANet doesn't manipulate the market; we do.) These links might be helpful:
 * salvage fiber from these which drop from things like Plants
 * salvage linen from these, which drop from things like Am Fah and other well-dressed (but poorly mannered) opponents.
 * &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That could explain why I originally saw Linen in the traders window but when i logged out and back in a few minutes later they were gone. I thought there was some sort of lag in the server. -Rølin
 * This is interesting. Collecting crafting materials... maybe ANet is trying to drain cash out of the economy. You know that when the week is over, linen's going to cost a ton until supplies are back up. Qing Guang 00:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, on the bright side I can make a killing on crafting Linen at Artisons cuase farming The Falls gives me lots of plant fibers. -Rølin
 * Good luck with that... I tried to sell some of my linen 20 minutes ago and the traders would only give me 180g for them. T_T --Zyanya386 14:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Dialogue

 * If Nicholas changes where he is and what he says every week... isn't the dialogue section of this page going to get ridiculously long after a few weeks? Maybe that should be moved to a separate page like his past collected items and only the one for the current week could be on the main page.  -Zyanya386 09:37, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above. Old dialogue (such as the flower dialogue) should be moved to Nicholas the Traveler/Past Dialogues, which would need to be created. --Slurry. 14:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. :D --Zyanya386 02:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Move time
Wait... so does he move at the midnight that begins Sunday or the midnight that ends it? (read: has he moved yet?) Qing Guang 14:17, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * He moves on Sunday night (California time) going into Monday. (read: he's still there :-) The official site said (at one time) that he would move, after the weekend and their announcements typically have used California time. Currently, the official site says, once the Traveler starts roaming, he can appear anywhere, though he'll stay there for a week; thus, the exact time of his move is not well defined. Last week, he disappeared from his old spot around 01:30 PT (Monday) and the first reported discovery at the new one was around 07:30-08:30.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 15:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone on Guru claimed he's moved already... will go to confirm. Qing Guang 01:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Confirmed, he is gone. Scour the jungles, people! Qing Guang 01:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Still here. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 07:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm staying at his location, only rezoning every 15-20min. I want to know if he'll just disappear, if he stays until zoning, and if he says anything when moving.. maybe even hinting next location. I reply here as soon as I know --Lexxor 07:15, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Still there. I'm off to do Z-Quests. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 09:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If you enter the zone one minute before he leaves, he'll stand there until you zone. 110% sure, since GW is instanced. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  12:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Prediction Game
I don't know if the following is appropriate for this page or not, but I think it could be nice to have some fun. The wiki should have some sort of a weekly prediction of Nick's new location and/or collectible, and the first user to successfully call either of the two would win some special prize (a unique userbox or something). Anybody else think this could catch on? Please don't be too brutal if you don't like the idea :/ Myko Ducor 01:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

It's seems obvious the next location will be in Kryta though, so there's not a lot of guessing room, until we see him break the pattern (yeah yeah, 2 isn't much of a pattern) by going somewhere unpredictable. And we still don't know if he will be going cross campaign either. I think we should hold out until a few more spawns to start playing these (if ever) because if he DOES follow a pattern, it would make the game pointless and too easy. Mlandry 01:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, someone was way ahead of you. --Macros 01:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The prediction idea is good, but wikis are a place for information. If prizes were to be set up, it would be on Guru.


 * Funny whoever thought he'd follow a pattern. "Obviously in Kryta..." lol.
 * I'm not making fun of you guys. I certainly didn't see this coming, either, and perhaps this breaking of the prospected pattern makes the idea a little better. Good point about the Guru. I just thought some guessing might be a nice touch. Myko Ducor 18:55, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Disregard that last query. Apparently I was farming "Swamp" Mandragor (their names don't say Swamp anywhere in game or on the wiki) and wouldn't drop the right kind of root even if one was to drop. Plus the wiki says they drop the right kind of root needed to make a cake for Nick (since there's two kinds). I can't confirm or deny if said Mandragors drop roots at all...ever, but I can say I farmed them and the area for over an hour in HM with and without a party and never seen a root drop. QQ 91.151.155.122 17:55, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * @ Viper: Not sure where you see that, on the Mandragor Root page it doesn't specify which levels drop them. But I was just following the links through Mandragor Root Cakes, Mandragor Roots, then types on locations that drop them. Thanks for the info though, wasn't aware that HM affected coll. drops. @Rose, thanks a mill. I'm all over it now! Process of elimination ftw. 91.151.155.125 18:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * AS previuosly stated, its easy to farm those, i did HM iwth 600/smite. testing the others now. 76.188.100.220 20:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Just as a test I took a full H/H group in HM in Arkjok Ward. Got three roots in 12 minutes. How are the drops when you solo?Bikeboy854 05:56, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

(RI) I got my 17 roots in 4 runs with H/H in NM. Party size does not affect collectable drops, afaik, and I think you actually get more in NM. My third run through I got 9 roots, my second only one, and like 4 and 3 on the others, so it's really just luck. RoseOfKali 06:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I have been going to the southern part of Arkjok Ward. I go straight through the rocks kill a group of tusked howlers and then head south. There are a lot of mandragor just waiting for you. My last NM run netted 4 roots in less than 10 minutes. There may be better places, but this place seems good enough.Bikeboy854 11:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I farmed the central area of Arkjok, that's the only place where you find mandragors, but I tried to get all of them. From the portal, to the southern wall with insect boss, to Nick (killed Mindclouder a few times for fun), then around that loop by the res shrine along the wall heading north towards where the ntouka boss and the elementals are, and to the sunspear sanctuary portal, rezoned there and went back on the same path.  There are A LOT of spawns of mandragor in this area, you learn quickly where they pop up.  And don't forget to catch the mandragor boss in the middle of the area.  I didn't touch the howlers usually, most of them are easy to avoid.  The highest concentrations are around the res shrine by Nick, by the mandragor boss in the middle, and just south of the ntouka boss, on those ridges and along the rounded wall.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, and I only got like 3 luminous stones the entire farm, versus 17 roots. O_o RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Very helpful post. Thank you.


 * My team farmed as a two-unit human group (using, oddly, Me + El). I suspect our multiple runs took about the same amount of time as RoK's full monty farm; we covered Marga portal due East and rezoned frequently (about 8-10 groups of Mandragor triplets). We ended up with 32 roots and probably 15 Lumis (we had a 15-20 min period of no roots and 1 Lumi/triplet).


 * Re: HM &mdash; HM tends to increase the possible types/caliber of drops, so I suspect that RoK is correct in saying that root farming is more efficient in NM.
 * Re: Loot scaling &mdash; Regardless of how scaling is supposed to work, the chatter in Yohlon includes solo and group farmers who get tons of roots and those who get bupkus. So, again, I would agree with RoK: luck apparently plays a bigger factor in successful farming than party composition, mode, or player skill.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * After my second "run" with full H/H team, i got only 4 roots. :-S — TulipVorlax 15:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Inconsistent Move Times
I moved this to talk because (a) it cluttered the notes without (b) providing helpful information.

His location and requested item are supposed to change early on Monday morning (Pacific Time). However, the exact time has been inconsistent:
 * His last sighting at his first location was 1:30am PT Monday (26 April); he was first discovered at his new location around 8:30.
 * His last sighting at his second location was 8:15am PT Monday (4 May); he was first discovered at his new location around 8:30.
 * His last sighting at his third location was 8:00am PT Monday (11 May); he was first discovered at his new location around 9:00.

Since we haven't seen anyone from ANet explicitly confirm his move times, all we really know is when he's last spotted at the old site and first spotted at the new site. People have claimed to see him as late as 8:15 am before he left Traveler's Vale and as early as 8:15 in Gwen's Garden. So, for lack of better data, I think the article should stick to "approximate" time rather than claiming a specific one. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 08:55, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that ArenaNet never designated a time for him to move. It seems as though he moves whenever the moderator that is in charge of him gets to work. Maybe the change time varries dependant on who is in charge that particular week. -Rølin

Why the heck would you care when he moves. This comment is over analyzing the movement time to receive attention and it fails.

 * Ok, there will be enough ecto's to feed everyone. Still the current price is around 4k. You need to have had a serious blow against the head to start selling ecto's for less then that when ecto demand has increased so much. Maybe the price will stay stable, because of all the stacks laying around, but its definatly not going to be 'WTB ecto 1k'. <font color="Green">Lยкץ๒๏ץ <font color="Blue">talk  09:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * On other news, I second Felix. WTB Rune of DOOM = Gifts! A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 09:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Gifts are selling consistently for around 8k. If they were traded 1:1, the price of ecto would thus be brought up closer to 8k. Of course, that depends heavily on where Nick is located...if, for example, he was way down in The Falls like he was for Gloom Seeds, people would charge less for the "collectable" because it's not really the same as a gift, you have to travel far to get them. On the other hand, when Nick is right near outposts like he was for Scales, it's logical to charge around 8k per "collectable". Of course, people are stupid and don't realize the logic behind that, so everyone demands 2k or whatever and that's what the price becomes.
 * It's true that there are tons of ectos sitting around that no one ever uses. But, there are plenty of people...quite literally, thousands...who don't have any ecto and would be willing to buy them for gifts. Since the standard for ecto is atm around 4k, that would be the starting price for selling them...and it could only go up. I doubt anyone would bother to actually farm ecto just for Nick, since unlike Gloom Seeds it's not something that just any old build can do. Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 03:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Just think supply and demand. There's lots of ectos, but not a huge demand for them.  What would happen if they became gift item?  Well, demand would increase, thus price would increase.  Then even after that stopped price would be raised for a while since supply would be significantly lower. 67.160.232.67 07:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The supply will still overpower the demand. 5 per player, tons of people farming (either for their own gifts or for trading), and the piles of ectos already in the game...

Not only is it here, but it gives a bit more detailed info. Not that you really need it this week. [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]  Tenetke Mekko    My Talk 02:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

market pain
This guy is a pain to the ingame market. was with 50ppl standing in droks. some1 shouted parchment went up +150%! and we all buy out parchment, so if you got this even faster, you are insta-rich cuz you can buy over 100rolls for 100g. and with no balance, because travelers gifts give way less expensive items.

 * Don't quite catch the drift of what you're saying there, but I suspect it's irrelevant as parchment is always craftable for 5 wood and 20g -- Snog  rat  16:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And there I was merching stacks of wood just yesterday, but I did keep one, yay me. If anything, he's good for the economy a few days at a time.  If you're really hurting that much, just go farm some wood, make parchment, and get insta-rich yourself.  But considering you claim to have chaos gloves on every character, I doubt you need it.  At least he's not asking for Vellum.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, parchment was a bad exemple. i ment stuff like Linen. and : no im not farming wood for some parchment 100g each :p Meraida 19:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't think so. ^_^ And even Linen wasn't that bad. As long as the stuff he asks for is craftable, I'm fine with it, though I'd probably not be happy if he wanted some D.Steel for new straps for Yakkington.  Once he asks for something that's not craftable, that's when we'll have us a considerable market problem.  20:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The real market pain is to sell it to the merchant... piece by piece *cry* I sold my 5 stacks of parchment to players for the common 99g/ea even when I get 100g or partly 110g from the npc... but clicking over 1000x on Quote and Sell without a script/bot... hell no way -.- --Birchwooda Treehug 01:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Holy crap, what possessed you to STORE 5 stacks of parchment?! O_O I have issues storing an extra stack of tanned hide or cloth for crafting armor... RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

U bought 5stacks parchment at 110 at npc then sold it at 99g at players? ur mouse(and ur hand) shoulb be dead now. Meraida 04:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I use to get rid of wood that way, I "create" parchment... that way around 5 stacks have summed up over the past year. Well with three accounts 3 stacks are in the storage chest anyway and the other 2 were somewhere in my storage account. Whatever, I sold those stacks that cost me nothing but the wood (which either dropped or I got from salvaging) and 20g/ea to player for less money than I'd get from the NPC trader because it's a pain in the ass to sell it to the NPC roll by roll. I once calc'ed it and came to 50g costs each roll and used to sell them for 70-100g/ea at Guru, so 99g/ea sure is no loss. --Birchwooda Treehug 06:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

WOOHOO! I'm so glad I stocked up on these now... knew he was going to collect more low-value rare mats again sometime. I can't wait until he does silk. Qing Guang 17:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, try Fur, I have like a 100 of them. Silk can at least still be sold to players for like 50g each, which I've been doing.  Fur is hopeless.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Intermediate edits
Sysops: the last useful edit to the article was by RoseofKali (for 22 June). The intermediate edits are people deleting text, requesting the update, or undos of deletes/requests. It didn't seem worthwhile to undo 5-6 edits. However, p'haps they should be purged from the database/history by those who wield such powers for Niceness and Good. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC) (in a poor attempt to channel Agent 86)
 * Sorry it had been a while since i've posten a link and didn't know the right way to do it. Plus i'd think that the location is usefull Gaia Iberia 16:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Since you didn't edit the main article, I doubt he was referring to you :P
 * As for TEFs issue: I don't really see why. I do know how a sysop can, though; Delete the whole article, undelete everything except vandal/rv edits. I don't know how the RevisionDelete tool works, though; I think only Bcrats have that. But, it still seems pointless to delete vandalism. Doing it for one page basically is the first step to deleting vandalism from every article, rather than rv'ing, whilst rv'ing is much faster and convenient (accessible, too). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * @Gaia: sorry, I was referring to the article edits earlier today (Mon); you did good. :-)
 * @Vipermagi: wasn't sure what the policy was or whether intermediate edits could be purged. I agree: not worth anyone's time unless it's wonderfully easy.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
