This article is about the post-searing NPC, Nicholas the Traveler. For the younger, pre-Searing NPC, see Nicholas Sandford.
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 (7:00 AM PST) on Monday.
Each account is limited to 5 Gifts of the Traveler per week. This limit is per location, and resets every week on Monday at the same time he moves.

Location

- Southern Shiverpeaks
- Ice Floe (collecting 3 Mursaat Tokens per gift)
Dialogue
His dialogue changes each week depending on the item he's looking for. The current one is:
- "Sometimes I question whether my curiosity will be my undoing. Take Mursaat Tokens, for example. I think they're utterly fascinating, like they have an untapped inner power, a power you can sense, waiting to detonate and ruin all life. Yes, I'm concerned that it might be dangerous, but Yakkington adores them. Whenever he sees Mursaat Tokens, his eyes light up like little dancing candles, and I swear he whimpers, just loud enough for me to think I heard it but not be sure. How can I say no to that? If you come across 3, I know the big lummox would be grateful."

Notes
- Before the Searing, Nicholas the Traveler was known as Nicholas Sandford.
- For more information on how to collect the item he wants, see the guide on PvX wiki.
- Nicholas has occasionally been found facing a random object, obstructive landscape, or a wall.
- Nicholas will not spawn if you have any active quest in your quest log that alters spawns in the area. Complete the quest or abandon the quest and rezone.
- Nicholas will not interact with you if you meet with him after he is supposed to move (by entering his area shortly before he would be moved, and talking to him after the scheduled move time).
Bug.Sometimes, his greeting and/or reward text is not translated into one or more non-English languages. Typically, this gets corrected by any mid-week game update.
Trivia
- Trivia related to Nicholas' dialogue can be seen on the dialogue page.
- Nicholas always travels with Professor Yakkington.
- According to John Hargrove, Nicholas the Traveler is also known internally as "Project Wumpus", which is a reference to the early computer game Hunt the Wumpus. (source).
