If anyone needs a character who hasn't completed Proph/EotN to spawn Nicholas, I'll leave my Mesmer Nere Las in ToA international dis 1 you can self invite and use him to spawn Nic. For free, of course.

Edit: I have some spare seeds, so free seeds too, while stocks last

Edit: There are more than a few free Nicolas Taxis in the American districts of ToA, so I'm done with standing around in the Int districts for now

If you need someone to make Nicholas spawn for you and can't find a taxi, give me a shout on my main account (Ner Alas) and if I'm not busy I'll take you (for free of course).

This seems to be a problem that keeps occruiing, mainly due to the WiK areas being created after to the nicholas update. I have a feeling fixing them all could do a reboot of the locations, like the Zquets, then again i have been told they are rebooting the Zquests soon for Pogahn PAssage

Bug aside (which I'm sure will be fixed soonish), where's the best place to farm the seeds? The reed stalkers outside ToA is the only spot I can think of, and getting all I need from one group will take an age.

There are a bunch of popups in the area to the west of ToA and a few popups between that swampy area and Talmark Wilderness. Other than that, I'd love to hear better suggestions. This is slow to say the least.

Main character has finished all quests, none at all in log and no Nick.

That's where i'm doing it. It's slow but really easy, i'm justing setting up spririts then opening another window to do other things while they die.

Black Metal · Feb 21, 2011, 09:25 PM // 21:25

ok the work around is this: your party leader must not have started wik, everyone else can. So you run to Talmark, leader can port out when you load in, Nick is there

thanks to nere las for helping me

Snograt · Feb 21, 2011, 09:26 PM // 21:26

I continue on from the stalkers into Talmark Wilderness and take a circular route that encompaases all the tree guys. 6-8 per run.

Find_&_Seek · Feb 21, 2011, 09:27 PM // 21:27

This is the route I've been using; need a Maximum of 130 :/

Same route... averaged 7 or 8 seeds per run.

asb · Feb 21, 2011, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Quick farm, now all I need is get Nick to spawn.

Black Metal · Feb 21, 2011, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Anet will have a build to fix this today. That's pretty nice of them to do this on a holiday.......

aspi · Feb 21, 2011, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Thanks to Nere in Int1 I got my gifst : Thanks again.

wilebill · Feb 22, 2011, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Had only one character with no WiK involvement who also had not finished Prophecies or EoTN. This character could see Nick and could turn in the abnormal seeds. None of my other characters could see him at all.

Thank very much you for running me and my guildmate, and giving him some free seeds.

Psirdark · Feb 22, 2011, 02:56 PM // 14:56

WTF Anet, you required WiK to be active for nick before, now WiK to NOT be active; GET YOUR ACT together.

<<<needs a nick taxi

Arieon Ito · Feb 22, 2011, 03:12 PM // 15:12

I have to say, the farming is easy but this making Nick pop-up in certain instances is a rather annoying thing. And it's been more than once that it's happened. Sigh. Now to get a non-completed char from Lion's Arch to Talmark...

To return a favor given to me, I ran a taxi to Nick...and ended up doing it 3 times.

The only things I asked were:

1- The player has all seeds as the trip from Temple to Nick is short, and they probably wouldn't have time to pick up any more seeds.
2- They pay NOTHING to me, but return the favor (of helping) to someone else.

The "issues" I had were:

1- Players wouldn't wait and frequently left other players to fight the few foes our group ran into. I had to remind them if I died, Nick may not appear.

2- Players were suspicious and kept asking me how much was the "tip". This took a long time, more than I wanted to spend.

3- Players kept trying to "tip" me. I had to keep telling them that I couldn't "pay off my debt" to the one who had helped me (with another item) if they paid me anything.

4- One player said I took too long in waiting to get our party filled and letting others join us. Considering that this was a FREE service, I found her impatience waiting 10 mins (while I tried reassuring players that there was NO FEE, NONE, NADA.) rather rude. She finally left about 10 seconds before we left. I wonder if she came back wanting someone to take her--and then demanding that no fee should be charged?

In all, though, it was nice to see the relief from players when Nick showed up and they got their gifts.

I do hope they will "repay" the kindness and make this game a little nicer for all.

**easiest place to farm for seeds is from Divinity to Watch tower. We got on average 4 seeds per run AND tons of dust and fiber, REAL nice.**

dagrdagaz · Feb 22, 2011, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Hmm, tried to find Nick with a char who has finished WiK, and has nothing WiK active.
No Nick

Then i tried a char who has not finished either Prophecies or EotN.
No Nick

Will try rezoning a few times, maybe that will help.
