Having trouble finding where to farm this week's items for Nicholas the Traveler? Guild Wiki didn't post a guide how to farm the item this week?
Look no further! I have created a youtube channel that will be updated every week with the best area(s) to farm the item. Who wants to read text guides when there are in-depth video guides available? Each video guide will include in-game footage showing my personal way of farming and a webcam feed of my explaining other viable techniques and detailing trouble areas, possible issues, and more!
The video series has been featured in the official GW community news as well as numerous fan-sites and guild websites.

Videos go up every Monday night, usually close very late and sometimes won't be available until after midnight, going into Tuesday. On some special occasions videos will be up sooner.
Link to channel: WeeklyNickGiftFarms

If you have questions about how to kill the monsters each week, or you have a suggested area to farm (contact me early on in the day on Monday), you can whisper me in-game @ Rolin Mori

Yes, I just edited my post to say that. They seem to be having server isues, I watched a few videos that were posted over the past 24 hours and some of them have same problem.

gasp!

o well...the build is modified from an old RA build (that I think has been removed from PvX?). Very easy to use and almost fool-proof for the purpose of the video.

Hey that was pretty cool, I was just going to avoid Nicholas this week but now I might give it a shot. Thanks for this.

Edit: Just remembered, isn't there a time you have to wait when you zone before loot really starts to drop or is that a rumor?

Sir Tieger · Aug 17, 2010, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Nice job.

I'll definitley be keeping track of these

Just tried the farm in my physical character. I have been able to pull it off with a little difference to how it's done in the vid.

First I'd like to mention that the Fugal Wallow groups with the Dredge and at the first NPC brawl there was always a gang-up on the afflicted with two Dredge groups, including two wallows. Occasionally the brawl ends quick, so there's a warning for you all.

I did a variation of this run by waiting for the brawl to end, then, with a long bow I pull the wallows that had 2 dredge guardians with them. Once I got their attention I withdrew to the area of the priest near the rez shrine. There I just wait for the wallows and duke it out while the priest heals me. I brought a large damaging build to quicken each fight and always made sure the fight isn't too close to the priest because it has Heal Area (or something like it). The Dredge Guardians knocks down which made killing the wallows a bit longer. Also they have Wild Blow, so stances aren't suggested. Once I killed the two, I map out, go back outside, and repeat.

Mind you, I'm Kurz and the priest is Lux, so if I had it any differently I would've just gone into the second brawl and use the vids plan there. Instead, I have a huge risk of getting killed without getting to the trophy. So this variation I did for the physical is a safe way that ends up dealing with fewer wallows, but it got the job done.

If you have more luxon faction than kurzick faction then the warriors by the shrine will help out too (doesn't matter if you are in lux or kurz guild).
Just a tip to make killing them easier.

I didn't even realize I shouted that until I went to edit

I haven't really spent a lot of time in Wilderness Survival, so I was surprised to see it work so well. I put Ignite+Incendiary Arrows in my build while helping a guildy do some big WiK quests, and I love it now. Much more workable than Barrage and more fun.

RedDog91 · Aug 26, 2010, 03:59 PM // 15:59

Ignite/Incendiary is the original combination i used before splinter/barrage was possible (before factions release). And after splinter/barrage became popular, I added splinter into the mix with ignite/incendiary.
I find this combination to work better on groups of enemies that are more spread out, as Incendiary Arrows hits nearby foes (thus doubling its range over Barrage). But for heavily populated groups, Barrage is often a better coice, as it will hit more of them and the arrows deal more damage.

Feel free to use builds and skills that I showcase in the videos, but be reminded that the object of my videos are to show the location of the farm. When a farm is easy, I will use a lesser-capable profession (by that I mean one that can't farm very much, except with gimmick builds in a few places) to show that anyone can do the farm with any profession.

Um, the functionality of Incendiary Arrows today was from an update in 2008. Before, it used to be a preparation that burned and interrupted foes. Factions was in 2006....

RedDog91 · Aug 26, 2010, 07:32 PM // 19:32

It was that or before I personally used splinter/barrage.
My memory is bad, therefore when I think back on things I do in-game, I often confuse dates relating to when I did something and when I did something else.

Yea... You're no where near what I would call a "quality farmer". No offense and no disrespect, but what should take you half the time (if that?) is taking you forever.

And SoS says "hi". Why the hell does your Ranger have such low health? o.0

I'll just stick to how I do things and solo farm via SoS with my 7 leeching alts.

I think it's more of a documentary and exposure that people can watch, and he does give some insight. This isn't about speed-farming.

Also, SoS? Pretty lazy, anyone can just drop that on a skill bar and not need a video to demonstrate. I happened to get a good idea from one of his builds, and I've two years into my ranger.

----
Current farm is Nicholas in Nebo Terrace, interested to see what build you run, RedDog. Gonna have to rely on regen unless you don't mind getting knocked down. Of course, there's always I Am Unstoppable. Personally, I ran my dervish since it was perfectly suited for the job.
