Dark Saviour · May 11, 2009, 04:14 PM // 16:14

Well this is annoying... 2 weeks in a row that both require nightfall... :-/

My excitement over this traveler thing is fading pretty fast...

Mine too, but only because this one requires even more mindless farming than last week.

I MAY be wrong, but it might only be 1 cake per gift, im not sure. Since he only mentions needing one cake and not 3. Someone could confirm on the first cake?

Edit: So if this was true, that would be 15 roots instead of 45. What a relief

Olof · May 11, 2009, 04:18 PM // 16:18

1 cake = 3 roots and i dont recall them dropping that often

Updated first post with info.

I just took a full party of H & H and got 3 roots while clearing the mandragors on the path to Nicholas.

They're not impossible to get!

I have to say, im rather enjoying this random slaughter of Mandragor. I always did hate them so...

45 should not be that time consuming when you insta kill them level 7s.

Wiki says the roots from istan (mandragor swamproot) are different than the ones from kourna (mandragor root).
So forget about it. Go to Kourna and farm your butt off.

WTB build to farm Mandragor Roots...

Arduin · May 11, 2009, 04:25 PM // 16:25

It's 1 cake per gift.

So only a total of 15 Roots needed.

Smurf Minions · May 11, 2009, 04:26 PM // 16:26

luckely its just 1 cake each gift, so 15 roots per account

See anets not that mean

Wyndy · May 11, 2009, 04:31 PM // 16:31

It seems that the drop rates for the roots is a wee bit higher than normal. Arkjok is a good place to farm too.

not how I'm seeing it...

From the wiki:

Nicholas the Traveler provides Gifts of the Traveler in exchange for various items to those that can find him. His location and requested item changes weekly, which occurs at 15:00 UTC (8:00 PDT) on Monday. Each account is limited to 5 Gifts of the Traveler per week. This limit is per location, and resets each time Nicholas moves.
Locations

for the week beginning 11th May 2009 (previous appearances are documented here)

Kourna
- Arkjok Ward (collecting 3 Mandragor Root Cakes)

BenjZee · May 11, 2009, 04:41 PM // 16:41

Only one root cake..wiki has errors..

Arduin · May 11, 2009, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Wiki has players adding stuff. Try talking to Nicholas.

ll Jamie ll · May 11, 2009, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Wiki is not always right :P

Just like to add, good luck on the gifts everyone

Lonesamurai · May 11, 2009, 04:47 PM // 16:47
