Pilgrim's Bounty runs from November 22 to November 28. It's time to reflect on your journeys and good fortune, share plentiful food, and stories with friends. You can partake in wonderful Pilgrim's Bounty feasts near major towns by sitting at a Bountiful Table and enjoying the foods you find there.
What's in store for you this year? Completing all the achievements will reward you with a companion pet and a title. You'll also get five new Cooking recipes in the process, as well as a few other goodies. Fun guaranteed!
If you ever wanted to start leveling up your cooking skill now is the time to do it. You can level your cooking from 1 to 300 just with 5 recipes in less than 30 minutes, all the reagents are bought from vendors in capital cities and only cost a few coppers. Yes, Blizzard just love you that much.
Seasonal Item
The ingredients required for cooking the various Pilgrim's Bounty recipes are available only from special seasonal vendors or from mobs that will not spawn outside of the season.
While these reagents do not seem to have any duration (or specific holiday requirement), I don't think anyone will really bother stockpiling any of it (except, of course, for any druid's bear necessity to carry around some Honey). The recipes will at least count towards the various recipe-learning achievements (such as Chef de Cuisine).
The following items can be purchased from seasonal vendors and used to cook the new recipes, and some can only be purchased in a specific zone (see item tooltips):
Upon completing the quest chain ending with Slow-roasted Turkey (Alliance version), you will receive a Turkey Caller. This fun little item can be used to call a Wild Turkey to your side (which can then be killed for Wild Turkey). This is not to be confused with the non-combat pet you can obtain by completing all of the Pilgrim's Bounty achievements, and will expire when the event has ended.
There are also few new seasonal items that are available as rewards from the various Cooking daily quests. You will have your choice of any one reward for completing a daily quest, so you will be able to collect all of the different rewards after completing five daily quests. You will then need to complete eight more daily quests in order to get enough Turkey Shooter to transform each different race of rogue for Turkey Lurkey.
You will need to complete at least ten daily quests in order to obtain enough items to complete various achievements (a Pilgrim Hat, your choice of chestpiece, and the 8 Turkey Shooter). The following items are awarded from the Pilgrim's Bounty daily quests:
Pilgrim's Bounty features a number of new cooking-oriented quests, most of which have daily quest versions as well.
You will need at least330 Cooking skill in order to be able to cook all of the new seasonal recipes, though the recipes have varying skill levels so if you are not interested in completing everything there will definitely be a recipe you will be able to cook for at least one daily quest, provided you have any Cooking skill at all.
The recipes required for these quests can be learned from a Pilgrim's Bounty Cooking Trainer located near the major cities' Bountiful Tables.
Horde Quests

Now We're Cookin'
All the vendors next to the Bountiful Tables sell a Bountiful Cookbook for 1 silver, this book contains the 5 recipes added to the game with this holiday :
All the reagents required for these recipes are sold by the Bountiful Vendors in the various capital cities, this is clearly stated in the yellow text of each item : Tangy Southfury Cranberries. The only exception is the Spice Bread for Recipe: Spice Bread Stuffing but this is pretty much the first cooking recipe you learn and the reagents are available from any cooking supplies vendor.
Now the funny part! You don't want to spend hours leveling your cooking? You won't have to. You can level your cooking from 1 to 300 just with these 5 recipes in less than 30 minutes, all the reagents are bought from vendors in capital cities and only cost a few coppers. Yes, Blizzard just love you that much. You will also need Wild Turkey from the turkeys you hunt in Elwynn Forest or Tirisfal Glades but you will most likely end up with a lot of it ... See below.

Pilgrim's Progress Now that you have all your cooking recipes, completing the daily quests shouldn't be a problem. They just require you to bring back 20 units of each food to the quest giver next to the bountiful table.
Defeat Talon King Ikiss while wearing a Pilgrim's Hat and either a Pilgrim's Dress, Robe, or Attire.

The Turkinator
Depending on how many players you have on your server, you will either
love or hate this achievement. Your goal is to kill 40 turkeys in a row
in Tirisfal Glades or Elwynn Forest, killing a turkey will buff you
with one stack of Turkey Tracker and you have 30 seconds to kill the next turkey, etc ...
Even if it sounds simple, it's fairly easy to run out of turkeys and if you attempt to complete this achievement during prime time you will most likely end up insulting someone.

Turkey Lurkey
Blast those dirty, sneaking Rogues with your Turkey Shooter. This one will probably take you a few days, you need Turkey Shooters from the daily quests rewards to change rogues into turkeys. Using the item will destroy it and you will have to run 8 daily quests to get enough shooters to complete the achievements.
There's an easy, yet tedious way to get this achievement. You either need a friend or 2 WoW accounts. Now that Blizzard let us create a horde and an alliance on the same server, you can have either your friend or yourself (2nd account) create a rogue for every race you need. Then the tedious part would be getting to the start up areas of every race. After you shoot that race, delete the character and make a new one. At least you can get the achievement done without hours of BGs or hunting endlessly in Dalaran.
