[[Nicholas the Traveler]] provides [[Gift of the Traveler|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.

: ''for the week beginning 30th November 2009 (previous appearances are documented on the [[Nicholas the Traveler/Research|research]] page)''
* [[Southern Shiverpeaks]]
** [[Snake Dance]] (collecting 2 [[Frosted Griffon Wing]]s per gift)

* For more information on how to collect the item he wants, see the [http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Guide:Nicholas_the_Traveler_Farming 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|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 updates|game update]].}}
