Notes

Cooking

In Patch 3.1.0, the following cooking recipes were added to the game, but were not yet available to players. They are formally part of the  Now We're Cookin' and  Pilgrim's Progress achievements for Pilgrim's Bounty.

• [Candied Sweet Potato]
• [Cranberry Chutney]
• [Pumpkin Pie]
• [Slow-Roasted Turkey]
• [Spice Bread Stuffing]

These recipes have skill requirements ranging up to 280 cooking skill. In addition, the [Spice Bread] recipe is required, trainable at any cooking trainer (the event has cooking trainers nearby).

Participating in this event and cooking these items is an excellent way of raising your cooking skill to 300 or above quickly and inexpensively. Make 70 of the Spice Bread Stuffing (including 70 of the Spice Bread as an ingredient) and 70 of the Pumpkin Pie, and 65 of the other recipes, Sweet Potato, Chutney, and Turkey, doing each in turn, then learn the next recipe when it becomes available. This will be enough for the event quests and three sets of the dailies.

The Turkey recipe is still red at 300 cooking skill, but you will need to go to Outland or Northrend to train Master level cooking.

Achievements

All of these achievements are part of the meta-achievement  Pilgrim. Obtaining the  Pilgrim achievement will not help towards the  What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been, as it is not a requirement for this meta-achievement.

Quick Quest Guide

This event includes one chain that ends in a [Turkey Caller]. There are also 5 daily quests revolving around cooking the holiday-specific recipes.

• Spice Bread Stuffing (Undercity or Stormwind)
• Pumpkin Pie (Orgrimmar or Ironforge)
• Cranberry Chutney (Thunder Bluff or Stormwind)
• Candied Sweet Potatoes (Orgrimmar) or They're Ravenous In Darnassus (Darnassus)
• Undersupplied in the Undercity (Undercity) or Candied Sweet Potatoes (Stormwind)
• Slow-roasted Turkey (Orgrimmar or Darnassus)

This quest chain involves quantities of 5, and generally sends you from the city that has the ingredients to a different city.

daily quests

The daily quests require you to either allocate some bag space between days, or spend extra travel time to pick up the ingredients. The quests are given by an NPC and require you to bring that NPC some food cooked from ingredients that are (except for stuffing) sold in a different city. They involve quantities of 20 (a full stack). By carrying some ingredients in your backpack overnight you can reduce the amount of travel required to complete the daily quests.

horde dailies

• We're Out of Cranberry Chutney Again? (cranberries from Orgrimmar to Undercity)
• She Says Potato (sweet potatoes from Thunder Bluff to Undercity)
• Don't Forget The Stuffing! (Orgrimmar)
• Can't Get Enough Turkey (turkeys from Tirisfal Glades to Orgrimmar)
• Easy As Pie (pumpkins from Undercity to Thunder Bluff)

One choice is to stockpile the [Tangy Southfury Cranberries] and [Mulgore Sweet Potato] and start your day in Undercity before you deliver Undercity and Tirisfal Glades food to Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff, restocking your cranberry and sweet potato hoard for the next day.

The other choice is to stockpile the [Wild Turkey] and [Ripe Tirisfal Pumpkin] and start your day in Thunder Bluff and then travel to Orgrimmar before you deliver sweet potatoes and cranberries to Undercity. Stock up on pumpkin and wild turkey in preparation for the next day.
