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
- for the week beginning 8 February 2010 (previous appearances are documented on the research page)
- Tarnished Coast
- Riven Earth (collecting 5 Saurian Bones per gift)
Dialogue
His dialogue changes each week depending on the item he's looking for. The current one is:
- "Excellent timing, friend! The Professor and I are on the hunt and would welcome any assistance. See, Zinn is always going on about Saurian Bones. If he had a choice, he'd build everything with them. Just the other day, he told me 'the weight-to-strength ratio makes Saurian Bones superior to metallic or arboreal sources for truss material.' Then he lamented about how he'd never get a chance to prove it to me, because Saurian Bones are so 'hard' to get. I could just find him one, but I'd love to hand him 5 and watch him stand there speechless! Can you imagine Zinn speechless? Makes me snicker just thinking about it. So if you find any, be sure to let me know!"

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. Either complete or abandon the quest, then 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. If you encounter this, you may report it here so that it can be quickly resolved.
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).
