Here is the map

Warning: Nick did not appear when I had a War in Kryta quest active. I don't know if this is just me, but be aware of this.

Mister_Smiley · Oct 17, 2011, 04:04 PM // 16:04

I can confirm that the location is right as i am at nick right now. i have no WIK Quests as i beat it and he does show up for me.

Da Kenster · Oct 17, 2011, 04:06 PM // 16:06

Need to kill Joh the Hostile for the bounty, might coincide pretty well with getting some drops. His spawn seems to affect Nick appearing though, so be warned of this.

I believe the fins were collected because he wanted herrings. Been awhile so not 100% sure.

Yes, it was in the first few weeks he collected herrings, which you traded for 3 Bog fins. This is an easy farm.

He collected bowls of bog scale fin soup, which require bog scale fins.

Cleared Tears of the Fallen 3 times: BSFin drops 5, 1, 10 per run.

Easy farm?
They barely ever drop

Any suggestions on a quick farm location & build?

Running a sin + monk healer hero atm

**cosyfiep** · Oct 17, 2011, 05:46 PM // 17:46

tons drop for me...got 3 on the way (went from la--using a mule with a full complement of lowlevel heroes), gave my mule a chance to see the light of LAy.

yitjuan · Oct 17, 2011, 07:06 PM // 19:06

hmm, I have quite a lot stockpiled for baby Black Moas.

Fay Vert · Oct 17, 2011, 07:14 PM // 19:14

Surely it's North Kryta Province for these?

June Bug · Oct 17, 2011, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Exit from LA, run through swamp, kill all bog skales, zone at portal to Scoundrel's and back into NKP and double back to LA. That's what I did. Drop rate was reasonable.

wilebill · Oct 17, 2011, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Xanthian, I just ran Scoundrel's Rise with my SoS Ranger. Best run was the last with fins practically raining from the sky. 7 on one run. They may have turned up the drop rate. 5 came from the big group up the hill in the middle.

OgglchYRmAqiMNACNVNdN5DWO9Nt5A this with a rune of Superior Expertise and an expertise hat. Ssyn's Staff for a tad of extra energy and 60 health. Really surprising how good this is for light to medium farming, if you have a Ranger. Last skill was set to Destruction, just for fun; but not needed. Somewhere there is a video on youtube of some guy running an SoS ranger for ectos in the UW. Bit extreme, but it shows the potential. For me potential, looks too much like work.

Nic wouldn't spawn. I thought it was because I had the Wanted: Joh the Hostile quest active so I killed him, turned it in and returned, still no Nic though

And to clarify; I have finished WiK, that is; The Battle for Lion's Arch. But not started the Kieran/wedding stuff.

I've been standing in Gates of Kryta outpost for 10 minutes now and I've already seen 3 others with the same problem.

How hard would it be to have someone at Arenanet to run out to Nic once a week to see if it's working properly? I'm thinking of this time but also when he's spawned in impossible places, took some day/s to fix him then..

EDIT:

Guild Wars Wiki notes

Nicholas the Traveler now appears even if Joh the Hostile's group is there.

Thanks!

Showtime · Oct 17, 2011, 08:42 PM // 20:42

Just to confirm... is nick collecting 3 bog scale fins per gift?

Edit:
Thx Cosi

Farming: farmed 31 in idk how long, but got a pink and a black and a brown

. 0 runes though. Anyways did the tears of the fallen, but only did that first cave and circled around killing around 6 groups. So enter in go left through cave and follow towards right pulling all groups. Seemed to give better returns per time invested.

**cosyfiep** · Oct 17, 2011, 09:18 PM // 21:18

yes 3 per gift (15 for 5 gifts).

Had the same problem. Abandoning everything WIK-related reverted the spawns for me.

TheRaven · Oct 17, 2011, 10:46 PM // 22:46

I'm having the same problem. No Nicky for me. When i go into Scoundrel's Rise, Jon the Hostile and his group are there but I don't have a wanted quest for him.

I do have a different wanted quest active in a different explorable. I'll finish that up and hope it changes things. I don't have any characters that haven't started WiK so if that's the criteria, i'm outta luck this week.

Premium Unleaded · Oct 17, 2011, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Any wanted quest will activate WiK on all WiK-applicable zones.
