Pilgrim update
Urbin
having a go at the pilgrim achievments.
Logged in and picked up the quest in Dalaran to speak to the NPC outside
Stormwind. Got there easily, picked up the quests. Couldn't get a free spot
at the table as everybody and their dog seemed to want to try it out. So
instead I talked to the NPC, learnt the cooking recipes and bought 160 of
each cooking ingredient.
Then I went turkey hunting, never getting above 12 stacks of the buff before
I ran out of turkeys, there were just too many people around. Around then a
guildie got the achievment (he was in Tirisfal) and to my horror learnt I
needed 40 (!) for the turkeynator achievment.
Went back to the tables, cooked what I could, then flew to IF to get
cranberries and cooked some more. Sat at a table, got the sharing achievment
and the first bit of the paunch achievment.
Hearthed back to Dalaran and then took the portal to Darnassus. Bought
potatoes, cooked some more picked up some more quests, took the boat to
Exodar, got anohter part of the paunch.
By then I had gotten both the hat and the attire as well as a turkey shooter
and marked my first rogue. Trying to mark a second one I realised the
shooter is consumed on use. Argh.
Took the boat back to SW, got myself two more shooters and found a spot at
the table. Shot two more rogues but am now out of dailies to do. It seems it
will take me another day of 5 dailies to get enough shooters for the
achievment.
Took the boat back to Dalaran and finished the chain quest, getting me the
mating call item that seems to have no use but entertainment.
Flew to Ratched, feasted outside Orgrimmar without flagging easily. Then
rode to Thunderbluff to find that occasionally there are guards wandering
around and (is this new?) I got flagged by them attacking me even if I
didn't defend myself. Some mage found it funny to pound me to bits and
repeated this three times. I then logged to a different char for a while.
After coming back I rezzed (still flagged) and sat down. I managed to eat 5
of each foods, getting attacked by a shaman on my 3rd lot of the last food,
just barely managing the 5th bite and getting the meta-buff before dying.
Good enough for me, I silently laugh at the shaman.
Hearth back to Dalaran and then fly to Zul Aman, ride to Silvermoon. Picking
a bad table (in reach of a guard), get flagged and killed. Wait 5 minutes,
get back, pick a better table (neither guards on the road nor on the
plattform next to the lake aggro on me) and easily finish eating 5 of 5.
Fly to chillwind camp and ride to UC. I know I'll be flagged when entering
but I might find friendly horde with a mind to let me live for the event...
As soon as I enter the courtyard I see that there is a huge battle raging. I
ride through it to the farthest table (the action is at the entrance). I get
shot at but when I feign death the horde player turns elsewhere for fun.
I decide to give it a go, rezz and sit down. Before I even eat the first
food I get the achievment. Apparently sitting down at an enemy table is
enough for "Peril of the Pilgrim", I must have misread and spent a lot of
time in the other three places making sure I eat enough to get the Sharing
meta buff. I have to admit I had been wondering how this would work on a PvP
server but I guess that is why sitting down is enough.
Interestingly enough I manage to ride back out without being attacked. As
there do not seem to be many players around and an abundance of turkeys I
decide to try getting 40 here. Thank god for "track beast", "aspect of the
pack" and "hunter mark" together with my /target Wild Turkey macro.
I easily get to 37 and am then shot to pieces by a horde hunter thanks to 17
seconds of my PvP timer remaining. Should have waited. And not shot his
turkey from under his nose in my desperation to get to 40 ;-)
I rezz, the hunter is waiting next to my corpse but I am no longer flagged.
I start hunting turkeys. He keeps following me, I assume to try to shot away
my turkeys to stop me from getting the achievment or hoping I'd flag again,
who knows. In any case, he's always a few steps behind me and does not
manage to "steal" a single turkey from me. I get to 32 easily and then there
is a lull in the population. With 2 seconds on the buff remaining I find
number 33 and from there to 40 it's a walk in the (undead) woods.
I then hearth back to Dalaran and within seconds find 3 people willing to do
Sethek Halls for the achievment. Then a guildie asks for a group for the
same so I invite him. We decide to do it on heroic as all of us still need
the heroic sethek for the BC dungeon achievment. Except one of us turns out
to be a level 67 priest (I hadn't noticed before) and my level 79 paladin
guild mate seems to lack the rep and/or key to enter in heroic. So we go in
on normal, fight our way to the boss, I tell everybody to wait with
attacking so we can all switch our clothes and the priest asks "clothes?".
It turns out she didn't know about the achievments, all she saw was a
request to go to Sethek Halls which she hadn't been to before :)
Anyway, Ikriss (name?) was a push over, so I ended the day with all but one
achievment done. The only two really taking a bit of effort being the one to
sit down at the enemy tables and getting the 40 turkeys.
Today it's 5 more dailies and then hopefully finding the right raced
rogues...
The only thing I can't help wondering why there are idiots attacking any
horde player at alliance tables on sight and then cry for a group to help
them sit down at the horde tables.
Cheers

Given the nature of it, I think it would be nearly impossible on a PVP
server if you actually had to get the buff. :)

You sure it was because of the guards? In TB you get flagged when you come
close enough to the, well, bluff. I didn't care to stay unflagged there,
though, but oh well, I'm a rogue, why should I. :P

You sure you don't have any spells/gear that strike attackers back? I got
attacked by a guard in front of SMC, too, but ran away and didn't get
flagged -- I think I got hit, ain't 100% sure, though.

Confirmed, it's enough to _sit_ at the table around the opposite faction
capitals -- you misread it baaaadly and paid the price. :)

Confirmed, a very convenient spot for this achievement -- starting from the
Bulwark, so very much on the way of an Ally going to pay a visit to his
friends in UC. Elwynn with its crowds stands no comparison.

Dwarf and Orc were the hardest for me to hunt down but still easier than I
would expect. You can /who [race], then sort by class to see whether there
are any online and where, or if that doesn't work, have a friend/guildy
with a free character slot roll them especially for this occasion.
Cheers!

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought, but didn't find it strange enough to
re-read the achievment to notice I could get done much quicker :-)

Fairly. At first I thought I was too close, but then at one point I rezzed,
ran away far enough to disable my PvP flag and returned. I could walk up to
the table, sit down, I would stay unflagged and suddenly I would become
flagged. I assumed it was due to a guard walking up to me in TB.
Then in Silvermoon that was even more obvious. I sat at a table and actually
saw the guard run towards me, attack me and bang I was flagged.

Hm, certainly not spells, because I didn't do *anything* to attack back.
After the first flagging in TB I dismissed my pet just to be sure. I need to
check all the "equip: xxxx" stuff on my gear, especially trinkets I guess.
Or maybe some helpful druid had given me thorns, though I think I would have
noticed.
When I get bored I might go back to some horde city/village and play with
the guards a little to see if I get flagged by just aggroing them...

Ah well, the price was a few corpse runs and a chuckle at myself after
realising it :)

Thanks, that's a brilliant idea! I have been hovering my mouse around wildly
and stared at the tooltip, jerking back whenever it said "rogue".
Does the /who also work on the enemy faction? I fear not and I'm missing 4
of them and only one of mine :)

Finding a guildie with a free slot might be the hardest part of this :)
But I've logged on with my level 13 dwarf rogue several times yesterday to
help guildies.

It does happen like that sometimes, when I was questing in Howling
Fjord and got too close to the Alliance village in the northeast
(forget the name, the one next to a lake), I'd see 5 guards running at
me from a distance and realise I was flagged, well before they'd
reached me. Still mounted, hadn't done anything at all except misjudge
how near I was to the village, but flagged :-/

Nope but you can make a lvl 1 alt on the opposite faction and use
that, I assume - I think I'll probably do that myself for finding
rogues once I've stocked up on turkey guns.

I'm a touch frustrated that my human rogue is on the same account as
my priest who's doing the achievements... at least my troll rogue
isn't :-)

On Horde side, I had no problem getting a spot at the tables, but then, I
tend to play very late at night rather than at prime time.

First couple times I had no luck, went back tonight after cooking some
tracker snacks(the food that gives you a well fed buff that lets you track
beasts) and it was a breeze. Best place to do it seems to be south of the
Bulwark near that farm place, and south of Scarlet Monastery in Venomweb
Vale, lots of turkeys there.
If you're not a hunter, Tracker Snacks make this MUCH easier. If you're a
hunter, just track beasts.

Yeah, that was annoying to discover. Also, to save you a possible wasted
shooter, do NOT shoot a rogue who's already got the turkey buff. You will
not get credit for it. Had it happen last night where apparently me and
someone else spotted the same rogue, both shot at him, but since they shot a
second before I did, they turned him, and mine had no effect. Tonight I got
the rest of the rogues I needed except for a human, cause I ran out of
shooters. All I really did was run around Dalaran, found every type there
for both factions, though sometimes they're hard to catch.

On my main server, I've seen a few flagged allies at our table, but for the
most part they've been ignored. On my other server however, UC was a massive
battleground.

I got this one tonight, guild run on normal we just breezed through it.
Honestly, I think most 80's could probably solo it.

I need 2 achievements to finish it. I haven't visited the enemy tables
yet(I'll do it tonight) and gotta find a human rogue to turkify.

Yeah, even though I enjoy fighting, I've not attacked any allies as long as
they just go for the table and don't attack anything.

Only if you have a char on the other side. Me, I was just playing my
hordies and on positive /who scans switching to my NElf girl for a wild
hunt, the dreaded turkey shooter in her hands *roars*).

Which brings me back to thinking about what will happen when the Cataclysm
comes out -- and everyone wants to try out all the new races and race/class
combos... If Blizz doesn't make more character slots available per server
(and I don't think I have read anything like this), there will be either
massive deletions of not-so-much-used chars or some odd migrations. No?

Unfortunately, they don't stack past 20, so you need lots of bag
space.

There were a bunch of hints for this on Wowhead. The best spot of all,
even for Alliance players, seems to be the area directly south of the
Scarlet Monastery. Lots of turkeys, and fairly open so you can see
them.
Like you I picked up some Tracker Snacks (at 9g each!!!), but managed
to have left them in my mail when I got there, so I haven't tried
them. Didn't need them in the end.
The biggest hint, aside from the location, is to set up a macro:
/tar Wild Turkey
/use (your instant ranged attack)
/stopcasting
/use (your epic ground mount)
Bind this to a hotkey. Ride toward a turkey, hit the hotkey, You will
dismount, and kill the bird. Hit it again after <Leaving Combat>, and
remount. Rinse and repeat. This is hugely faster than trying to do it
manually. With Tracker Snacks, it should be even more efficient.

Stupidly, I didn't realize the shooters were single-shot items. I got
one, along with all the clothing, and used it on a non-rogue just to
see what it did. As a result, I still haven't started to tag rogues.
[...lots of travel...]
I've talked to a couple mages at the banquet sites; they were both
making money hand over fist selling portals to the other cities at 5g
a pop. Well worth it, imho.

I soloed this, on regular difficulty. Not hard at all.

They've said they currently don't plan to add extra slots, a major
mistake in my opinion, I'd imagine everybody who's played any length
of time has their slots full on their main server, and most people
will like to keep their alts together so they can support each other
with professions etc. I've got 2 accounts and only one free spot
between them... got a few bankers I could delete but I do kinda like
those characters and would rather keep them.

Used this Event to level my son's hunter's cooking from 1 ro 220 in
about 10 minutes of work - cheap too. WOuld have hit the slow roast
turkey but ran out of time and went to bed.

Oh this got me mad. Despite doing this in the morning I ran out of
turkeys to kill on the northside of the road to Redridge and I was the
only one there.

Uhoh, I guess I'll be doing more of these dailies and taking careful
aim at those sneaky rogues.
Yep, just sit there. I just have UC left. Will do that one early in
the morning when the server is dead.

Sounds like you got it Pilgrim!
Now when I think of "Pilgrim" I think of John Wayne. For ne, I am
doing this in tribute to him.
And actually the only few movies I would sit and spend time watching
with him are "The Cowboys" and "The Man Who Shot the Liberty Valance".
Way to go Pilgrim!!
OH! OH! OH!

Hehe agreed entirely - I'll be complaining a fair bit myself frankly,
there's a lot of new class combinations I'd like to try, and where am
I meant to put them? I refuse to cough up for a 3rd account, I already
pay quite enough for this addictive game ;-)

I've got two mages, one a banke. That will go for a worgen warrior, that
will mean I have one of every class and at 1-2 of each alliance race.

I have every class and several duplicated, having switched faction a
couple of years back (got 2x rogue, priest, warlock, paladin, mage,
all at 50+)... really not sure what to delete to make room but I'm
definitely making a worgen druid (only got one druid at the moment and
loved levelling him after lvl 20) and a goblin... something, I guess
hunter since I already have every other class on Horde. But I'd love
to make a gnome priest, and a dwarf shaman, and a tauren priest...
argh! ;-)

Hunters, Warlocks, and Priests have an easy time doing this achievment.
For all, setup a macro:
/target Wild Turkey
Spam this macro until you got one targettted.
If you can see the Turkey, head on over and hit it with some damage, go onto
the next turkey (only need instant damage if you're almost out of time).
Problem is if you have one targetted, but don't immediately see where the
darn bird is.
For hunters and warlocks, just command your pet to attack and follow the pet.
Be sure to stop your pet before it reaches the turkey.
For priests, cast Mind Vision and look at your mini-map. When you break
the Mind Vision, you'll see a dot appear on your mini-map where the turkey is.
So just face the proper direction and start running.

That's actually not a problem - I got orc and troll rogues yesterday
using disposable alts from the same account.
All you have to do is get your char near the orc/troll starting zone
at some landmark that you'll be able to easily recognize, then logout
him and create new char. Run him to the same landmark. Now start WoW
second time (without closing the first one), and quickly log into the
account and on your main char. Your old alt will be disconnected but
will still stay in the game world for some time (similar to what
happens when you lose connection). That should give you enough time to
use the shooter on the rogue alt, if not (loading takes too long) you
might want to lower the details and disable the addons to speed things
up.

Or for hunters cast Hunter's Mark, that will show the turkey as a red dot on

Tell me when you do! Finding a dwarf rogue going to be a real
challenge.
I did it last night with getting close to being ganked. I spent about
10 minutes running around Darnassus trying to find the tables. When I
did no one seem to blink then a blood elf ran past them chased by
three guards! Finding a dwarf rogue going to be a real challenge.

Hm, I had no problems at all with this achievement, so far done it twice:
with my rogue and DK. No fancy macros or techniques, just spot, run/ride,
and Fan of Knives / Boiling Blood respectively, so I didn't even bother to
target them.

I found one standing in front of the ally area in Dalaran, removing
the buff every time somebody turkey'ed him - pretty useful! Was a
gnome doing the same round by the bank so that was the hardest ones
done easily :-) Only missing troll now, because I ran out of guns
yesterday, and that one's easy, can just log my own alt.

Haven't done the enemy city ones yet, not looking forward to those too
much, I'm expecting to die a few times. Having said that, I've seen
allys getting the tables at Horde cities without being ganked so
perhaps I'll get away with it too!

Stormwind and Ironforge are easy, the tables are far enough from the city
that they won't flag you.
Exodar is very close to the city, not sure if it will flag you or not but
chances are...
Darnassus will be a pain because you have to cross the whole city as the
tables are at the exit towards Teldrassil. However, I suspect if you make it
through there you should be able to wait out the PvP timer to unflag you and
then hopefully be able to go back to the tables without getting flagged.
Worth a try, anyway...
I'm assuming you're talking about your horde chars... :)

Yep, Horde indeed, been hearing people saying that while the IF tables
don't flag you, the guards on the road don't like your presence much,
and you can't sit at the table while in combat... meaning you'll end
up flagged anyway trying to get rid of the guards :-/ Guess I'll just
have to see how it works out and hope for the best! Darnassus is just
argh, every holiday achievement seems to require crossing that city,
even when whatever you need to do at Darnassus itself is at Rutheran,
you'll have to go to Dolanaar also, sigh :-/
On the plus side I have enough alliance characters that I can easily
go and scout out the tables before taking my horde priest over :-)

Here's my approach.
My macro was a little more complex
/tar Wild Turkey
/cast (instant ranged attack)
/stopcasting
/use (epic mount)
I bound this to a hotkey.
I didn't use Tracker snacks; I think they would have helped. I went to
the area just south of Scarlet Monastery (this was on an Alliance
character). It's fairly open, has lots of rapidly spawning turkeys,
and they are (almost) the only yellow-tagged critters there. This
makes them easy to spot.
I'd ride towards a turkey, If no one else was in sight, I'd run the
clock down to 5 seconds (to allow respawns) before hitting the macro,
which would target and kill it in one step. After I was no longer in
combat, I hit the macro again, mounting up. Once I found that there
was another turkey hunter present, I dropped the wait entirely.
It went well.

Stormwind was ok but a guard attacked and flagged me at Ironforge. But
no allies there noticed or cared.

It's close enough to auto flag you.

Nope in still inside the city, so it's a permanent auto flag. If you
turn left after entering and run around the walls you should make it
ok.

A few hours after the event started, my server, alone with the entire
Emberstorm and Whirlwind BGs (AKA, the Seattle datacentre) crashed. I
went to bed. Last night all the Seattle servers crashed again, and did
not go live again until this morning . . . all except for my server,
which according to the Service Forum, is experiencing technical
difficulties and will be "unavailable for play until further notice".

Ok that was easier than I expected, Exodar was zero trouble, Darnassus
I had to run around a little to find it (slightly slow load times
meant I went right the way past it before realising I must've missed
it), thankfully the lvl 80 alliance hanging around didn't bother going
after me :-) Stormwind was dead easy, and Ironforge I discovered it's
possible to climb up the hill away from the road and so reach the
tables without aggroing anything - a guard spawned on me 2 sec later
but I'd already got the achievement by then so jumped off the hill
till I dropped combat and hearthed out, phew!
Now I just need Sethekk (easy, just waiting for my bf to be around so
we can take a shot at Anzu with his druid while we're there) and the
40 turkeys which is so far extremely frustrating, best I've managed is
30, and loads of other people camping them too. May have to just try
that very late at night.

I did it this morning, shortly after my server came back up(my main server
is in the Emberstorm battlegroup). Me and both other locks from my guild
grouped up and decided to get it done. We went to Auberdine first and one of
our guys was flagged, and was attacked by an ally DK and warrior, he died,
but then me and the other lock killed them a couple times and once our 3rd
guy rezzed we got on the boat to Darn. Darn was uneventful, we ran through
the city and even the guards seemed comparitively disinterested. There was a
level 80 ally pally at the tables but he either wasn't interested or wasn't
interested enough to try his luck vs 3 of us, so we got that table trouble
free, ran back to the dock, rode back to Auberdine, headed for the dock to
Exodar. Made it there without incident, got the table easily, only ally
around was a level 13 who /waved at us, so we headed back to the boat again.
At this point, we decided to try our luck heading for SW via the boat. A lvl
80 ally DK was waiting for the boat, but he didn't do anything to us, a
level 8 NE hunter DID attack one of us for whatever reason but that was no
issue. At SW harbor, we got off the boat, road nearly to the gates without
trouble when we got jumped by a couple DKs(not including the one who rode
the boat with us, but including the one who attacked us on the docks
earlier). We fought back, killed some of the guards(and the DK from the
docks, again) but eventually got overwhelmed. Headed back, rezzed, ran
towards the tables, got attacked by that same DK, killed him and a pally who
joined in, but were otherwise ignored due to the presence of another Hordie
in the area, a DK with an army of the dead. We decided to head to IF, our
last table, via the tram. We ran BACK into SW, got attacked a few times
along the way. One of us made it to the tram, one of us died somewhere along
the way, then I died when I got dismounted by 7-8 guards and attacked by a
warrior afterwards. I killed the warrior(yeah, he wasn't very good, losing a
fight to a lock who already had a half dozen guards on him) and most of the
guards, but then a druid joined in and got me. Ran back to my corpse,
rezzed, made it to the tram without any more issues, the other lock also
rezzed and made it to the tram without problems, so we were all off to IF.
Oddly enough, IF was extremely uneventful. We rode hassle free from the tram
to the gates, were ignored by the allies at the table, even after we had to
kill a few guards to get out of combat. There were at least 3 80's there,
yet no attacks on us as all, 2 of them /waved another /saluted and /cheered
as we all got our achievements. Hearthed out and headed to Dal to get the
last rogue I needed(a human, which I found fairly quickly) and am now
officially Necromortis the Pilgrim.

Trisfal with the tracker snacks (or as a Hunter with Track Beasts)
seems to be the way to go, since the turkeys are the only neutral
beasts there. At least, that's what my guildies tell me ;-)

Yeah, I know at least a few Horde players on my server have lvl 1 rogues
parked at various places around the world, I know 1 real life couple have a
human and gnome rogue pair parked at the north bank in Dal, another guy has
a human hanging on the outskirts of Goldshire and a troll at the Org front
gate, I personally have a lvl 1 dwarf parked north of Kharanos for any horde
players hard up for one willing to make the trip...

Depends on what part of Tirisfal. There's neutral duskbats flying around
parts of it which are beasts as well, though if you go up to Venomweb Vale
south of SM, I don't think there's any bats in that area.

There were 4 level 1 horde rogues sitting outside the alliance bank in
Dalaran last night. All with names starting with "Turkey...". I assume they
were made by some alliance players on a spare slot or a second account.
Very nice, because I couldn't for the life of me find a "regular" troll
rogue.

Hi, am I missing something here? I am doing this at the moment on
Horde side and it requires me to go to Orgrimmar, Undercity and
Thunderbluff to purchase the ingredients for the cooking recipes.
Urbin, how did you buy 160 of each at once? Orion, how is this only 10

I went to Stormwind, bought 160 Honey, 160 Herbs, 160 Flour, 160 Mild Spice,
160 Pumpkins, hunted about 60 turkeys, then flew to IF bought 160
Cranberries, hearthed to Dalaran, took the portal to Darnassus, bought 160
Potatoes, boated to Exodar, boated back to Stormwind. Then did the round
trip once more for the quests.
At each location I would cook as needed for the quest-chain leading to the
mating call item and to hand in the daily quests. Two round trips finished
all of that. Took me maybe an hour.
I don't see where your problem is in buying 160 of each. I didn't say I
bought them from one vendor or at once. I just said I bought 160 so I only
had to do the rounds twice instead of going back and forth as you discover
in IF you need more SW stuff and in DN that you need more IF stuff etc...
As to levelling cooking in 10 minutes: If Orion bought sufficient numbers of
all ingredients on his trip, he could then pass all of them on to his son in
trade. His son then only needs to cook and 10 minutes is probably enough to
level raise cooking this far, provided you only need to cook and not hunt
down all the ingredients as well.

Thanks, I think I misunderstood the initial post. Sounded like I could
just log in, get all the ingredients at once and level cooking to 220
in 10 minutes.

Ooh wish I'd thought of that! Never remember those things exist when
I'm trying to find something that's targetted but not visible.

By the way, I took my dual box team from 0 to 300 doing this today.
I'm not a big pursuer of achievements as I have so little free time
for WoW, but I did quite a few of the quests too.
Just wanted to say thanks to both of you for pointing this out, even
with the travel (luckily one of the group is a mage), it's a very easy
way to level cooking quickly.

So that's what they're called. I'd been calling them 'laser pointers'.

I took out my lvl 14 Dwarf Rogue last night after getting Pilgrim on
my main, and ran him around Dal, SW, and IF for an hour, dancing on
bank steps. He was *very* popular. :-)

You can finesse this a bit; most of the ingredients are available at
all the sites; IIRC, only sweet potatoes and cranberries are NOT
available at SW. Those are the only ones you need to load up on.
The 'Bountiful Basket' looks interesting; it provides a party buff
slightly superior to Fish Feast, and is a heck of a lot cheaper to
make.

It is. Sadly, both the basket and all the ingredients needed to make it
are tagged with Duration(7), so you can't stock up on them and then use
them through the year.

Which I only realised after making 80 of them :-) I'm now handing them out
to anybody crossing my path...
