Broken due to the yak.

Nicholas the Traveler is a man who lubi w pupe and 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 now being updated on GuildWiki.

• 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...
• Sometimes he's been known to play hide and seek with gamers. If you listen closely, you can hear him and Professor Yakkington giggling behind the bushes.
• The yak broke the image upload for this area as he doesn't want you to see where they are. Note from a fanfic author: If you upload a photo - it will be removed. Other sites have the photos as this site is fanfic and doesn't necessarily need it.

Dialogue

"I miss my SaraLee Cakes... I want to go home..."

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.
• When nobody is around he has been witnessed eating SaraLee Cakes sent to him from home.
• Professor Yakkington does not like SaraLee Cakes and prefers Klondike bars instead.
• When you feed Professor Yakkington a Klondike bar, he will do the hokey pokey dance and announce "That's what it's all about!"

Trivia

• Nicholas always travels with his hungry partner, Professor Yakkington.
• Peta and the Humane society have been contacted about Nicholas neglecting to feed Professor Yakkington. As it stands now, there's an ongoing investigation. If Nicholas is found guilty, he will only be allowed to travel with a teddybear mini.
• 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.
• More trivia is on GuildWiki

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.

• This NPC is indeed sad. He's never been seen smiling, ever. Some say it's because his SaraLee Cakes gives him terrible gas that makes him feel uncomfortable. Others say it's because he has a beastality fetish that Professor Yakkington does not wish to participate in. Nicholas the Traveler has been said to be very fetishly frustrated.
• Nicholas the Travelers beastality fetish is also being investigated along with claims of animal neglect.
