Nicholas the Traveler is a man who travels all over Tyria, handing out suspicious items to adventurers that are bold enough to collect the various items that he requests. After all, he never tells you what's in those items that he gives, when he receives his requests. His location and the requested item changes every week on Mondays at 15:00 UTC and this is apparently due to the fact that he has nothing else to do with his life.
Current location
Nicholas the Traveler is currently taking 2 Maguuma Manes in Maguuma Jungle.
- See the Collections collections archive and the [Dialogues dialogue archive for ancient data.
- If he fails to appear, check to see whether you have an active quest that affects the foes spawning in the area or it could be due to a bad smell or maybe he just doesn't like you...
Dialogue
"These plants really don't intrigue me that much, but they do help crops. They were intriguing to my Mary, before I lost her to the Mists. See I need two Abnormal Seeds, but I really think that ten would help with the crops. Since I travel so much, I plan to get some of my friends to help plant these in the garden to help protect from the evil. I shall do this quickly, so that my hungry Yak won't eat them up and leave me with none."
Notes
- Each account is limited to no more than 5 gifts per week.
- If you are in the same area as Nicholas when the change occurs... He and Yakkington will still appear, but he will not speak until you leave him in peace and come back.

Trivia
- Nick gets his name from the gift-giving Saint Nicholas.
- Nicholas always travels with his hungry partner, Professor Yakkington.
- The Traveler was Nicholas Sandford in Pre-Searing Ascalon, but now he appears in any explorable in the post era. It is up to us to find his hide-out and then get him something that might sound unusual.
- He tries to follow an itinerary of 137 weekly locations (~2.6 years worth of requests). The 138th spot is scheduled for December 5th, 2011, when we will find out if he repeats the same order. (Source, per GW developer, John Hargrove.)
Historical note: This NPC was sadly added as part of the 4th Year Anniversary Update. We think it's due to the sympathy of nothing else to do.
