Nicholas the Traveler is a collector who travels all over Tyria, handing out Gifts of the Traveler to adventurers intrepid enough to collect the various items he requests. His location and requested item change every Monday at 15:00 UTC.

Current location

Nicholas the Traveler is currently collecting 2 Maguuma Manes in Maguuma Jungle.

See the collections archive and the dialogue archive for historical data.
If he fails to appear, check to see whether you have an active quest that affects the foes spawning in the area.

Dialogue

Notes

Each account is limited to 5 gifts per week.
If you are in the same area as Nicholas when the change occurs, he and Yakkington will still appear, but he will not offer any dialogue.

Trivia

The Traveler gets his name from the gift-giving Saint Nicholas.
Nicholas always travels with his trusty partner, Professor Yakkington.
The Traveler is known as Nicholas Sandford in Pre-Searing Ascalon.
He is following an itinerary of 137 weekly locations (~2.6 years worth of requests). The 138th spot is scheduled for December 5^th, 2011, when we find out if he is repeating the same order. (Source, per GW developer, John Hargrove.)

Historical note: This NPC was added as part of the 4th Year Anniversary Update.
