It's a sad state in my life when I'm logging into GW from work to quickly unload all my excess Nick collectibles.

Not as sad as being able to picture the exact spot with detail of where he is from just from a screen shot of a Mini Map. This is almost every week. Makes you feel Idiot Savantish

For anyone looking for a place to farm:
Walk out of Kaineng Center into Bukdek Byway and go up the far right stairs (towards the Chasm for EotN). Turn left and continue forward. There's a few spawns just 20 seconds from the Kaineng portal.

How on earth do you get to SunJiang district?

Being a newbie and having started in NF i more or less haven't touched Factions yet. I tried exploring my way there (through Wajjun Basaar and the undercity) but all zone-outs seem to be locked. Do i have to do the main quest to be able to get there?

Time to study the wiki maps.

You have to follow the storyline to the point where you can do the Sunjiang District mission. After the mission is completed, the zone-portal that lead to it will be open (they are closed until you do the mission).

Thanks for the reply! Time to get acquainted with Cantha.

Thank you for the farm info RedDog91 much better than what I was trying earlier.

Thanks for location, farmed my 15 there in like an hour (considering I had Skype online so was chatting with girl

). Droprate sucks for them though, or me just didn't have any luck.

Anyway, suggestion here because I've seen some people fail to solo it (I'm talking now for SoS)

Before you get to them, drop spirits so you can recharge them if you need.

Get on stairs and equip a longbow. Like 1-3 usually spawn then, just longbow pull them, then clean them. Then come down, and just follow procedure because then there is usually 3 groups, but you can take each group without aggroing other group.

Hope that helped.

While doing that, I got like 4-5 gold items (mostly Plagueborn Armor), so after I ID everything and sold, ended up gettting 3k just from farming items Nicholas wants.

I had a full hero team with me on three accounts and even though I have more than a full stack in storage I got about 4 on the way to nic each time....so the drop rate is still high (as compared to other weeks where he has been close to the area to farm the items and have gotten zero of the items). AND my mule got to cap a useless ele elite!

So variable. Didn't get any on the way to Nick. Tried SoS Bukdek first, two runs and nada. So over to Seafarer's Rest and Rhea's Crater; run the stairs. Not the popular place. Was completely alone there most of the time. Took probably 50 runs with full party to get the 15 cysts.

But in the process I got 3 greens from the Focus boss! Fair Dom items. A good week. Nothing from gifts of note, but two weeks ago got 2 Moss Spider Eggs. Nick is just a lot of fun.

I found shenzen tunnels explorable to be a good farming place.
either go from tannahkai temple ( killing a single am fah mob along the way ) and farm the mobs there ( including the elementalist mob, survivors be warned, you might wipe here), or leave from matu keep and farm the mobs from there all up to the mesmer boss.

7-10 cysts a run, run takes 15-25 minutes.
I used a basic sos template with ruby djinn and ebon vanguard assassin added to the mix.

X-Plosiv · Apr 27, 2011, 08:26 AM // 08:26

I VQed this area before few days, and I remember how i hated to get to that Boss near him. Geez, lost 10 minutes again just to find route to him

Golgotha · Apr 27, 2011, 04:32 PM // 16:32

Shenzun Tunnels from Sunjiang District worked for me. Two quick runs to get all 15.

TheGizzy · Apr 27, 2011, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Am I the only one who had a bizarrely hard time getting from the outpost to Nick, even in NM?

I just VQ'd that area last week with no trouble at all, not even close to me or my heroes dying... yet I had two wipes just going to Nick... same party, and NM to boot.

Ran it again late last night with my best friend so he could get his Nick stuff... he's an AotL necro, so I just swapped out my hero from the team. While we didn't wipe, he and I both commented "that was a lot more challenging than it should have been."

Any thoughts as to why this might be?

Solo SoS, 7 runs (40 minutes) for my 15... 0 to 4 per run.

With one char they appear and with another char they don't. Strange, must be some quest holding me back
