By trophy
I just added the amount of zones in which each trophy can still be collected. Should that help you, it can be found here. Kanda 19:19, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

areas without trophies
I think Scoundrel's Rise still has Bog Skale Fin and Half-Eaten Blob as potential drops. 76.164.71.104 18:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * HE Blobs are salvage items, so I don't mind that I'm missing that (he very rarely collects that item type). I took out Bog Skale Fins b/c Nick has already requested Herring, a derivative of those. While it's possible that Nick might request both, I think it's very unlikely.


 * Thanks for the note; I'm sure I've borked something else so please keep me posted. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I learned something new, the distinction of trophy and salvage item. As sneaky as Nick's been, I wouldn't put it past him to even want us to craft a weapon for him, or something. 76.164.71.104 19:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)


 * That's one of the few types of things he hasn't yet requested. He seems to prefer creating his own defenses (and giving away weapons) as opposed to asking us to bring him swords or what not. But, like you say, he's sneaky.


 * FYI the salvage items he has collected (also in a chart at the top of the article) are: Charr Hide, Luminous Stone, Roaring Ether Heart, Maguuma Spider Web, and Pillaged Goods. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:32, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

The Shattered Ravines
I believe the Dusty Insect Carapace is still uncollected and available as a trophy in that zone. 76.164.71.104 03:16, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ack! a DB would really be useful. Seems there are at least 2 more potential items left there, Giant Tusk and Sandblasted Lodestone. 76.164.71.104 03:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * re: Dusties: Thanks. Good catch. (Not sure how I lost it, especially since I was using an Excel-type db.) Back to the drawing board I suppose...but next week. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:31, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Stone Horns
I have a funny feeling you can't collect those in the Tears of the Fallen explorable. -- Chieftain  Alex 19:18, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I finally reconciled the two lists... but I was using very, very poor techniques to update this page. (I suppose I thought no one else would be interested, so wasn't worth investing too much my time to set things up properly in the first place. Fortunately, it's getting easier to double-check.)


 * Thanks for keeping me on my toes. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Feedback

 * I just want to give respect to your *massive* input to this site. Your name is everywhere, and I think thousands of users would be lost and confused without your guidance. Respect!  -- Sirion Shadowblade


 * Thank you for the compliment and taking the time to post it. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:37, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Krait skins
Krait skins have been used for a few hours before Anet corrected something, lots of people did however have time to exchange gifts so I would guess that Anet considers that one used ( but you never know :) Godis 11:26, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * We will find out soon.


 * We know from game update notes that Arbor Bay was an incorrect location. I can't find the exact quote, but I'm 90% positive that one of ANet's staff admitted to manually doing this or that which caused Nick to be in an incorrect location. However, no one suggested that the item was wrong (only Nick's zone). Also: ANet went through a lot of trouble to setup Nick's route and his collections, so I don't think it's a trivial as all that to change items; even though they have had months to fiddle, they also have had better things to do. Consequently, Kanda and I both (among many others) believe that when Nick shows in Arbor Bay, he will (again) ask for Krait Skin. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:25, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
