Pilgrim's Bounty is a world event occurring in November, about the time of the American holiday Thanksgiving. Among the activities which are presumed to occur are cooking, food fights, and turkey hunting.

Cooking

This event mostly involves cooking. Five special recipes can be learned from the  [Bountiful Cookbook], which is sold during the event.

Item	Levels
[Spice Bread Stuffing]	1	90	102	115
[Pumpkin Pie]	100	150	162	175
[Cranberry Chutney]	160	210	222	235
[Candied Sweet Potato]	220	270	282	295
[Slow-Roasted Turkey]	280	330	342	355

In addition, the [Spice Bread] level 1 recipe is required, trainable at any cooking trainer (the event has cooking trainers nearby).

Leveling

Participating in this event and cooking these items is an excellent way of raising your cooking skill to 300 or above quickly and at low cost. The materials are inexpensive and available in practically unlimited quantities. The minimal required level starts at 1, and the recipes stay orange over a long range. Each recipe turns yellow only 10 levels below the requirement of the next level.

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 in turn, learning each next recipe when it becomes available. While you are at it, the production will be enough for the event quests and three sets of the dailies.

The Turkey recipe is still orange at 329 cooking skill, but you will need to go to Outland or Northrend to train Master level cooking before or at 300. The Turkey recipe doesn't turn gray until level 355 so it is an easy way to get your cooking all the way to Grand Master level.

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.

Quests

Apart from the lead-in quests, there is a quest chain and five daily quests revolving around cooking the holiday-specific recipes.

Commoners in every city will offer you Pilgrim's Bounty, sending you to the festival grounds outside Stormwind or Undercity. Once there you can accept Sharing a Bountiful Feast from the Bountiful Table Hostess or Bountiful Feast Hostess, who can tell you how the tables work. You can also pick up the first quest in the chain and two of the daily quests.

Quest chain

The subject of this article or section is part of Pilgrim's Bounty, a seasonal event that lasts one week. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.

Pilgrim's Supplies is available to both the Horde and Alliance during the Pilgrim's Bounty seasonal event. It involves cooking food using ingredients and recipes available during the event, and makes you travel between the event sites near the classic three major cities of your faction.

Pilgrim's Supplies

For each step in the quest you are requested to cook five of the foodstuffs which can be made from the materials available at the location of the quest giver, and take them to the Pilgrim's Bounty site near another city. After having been sent back and forth for a bit, you will get your reward with the final quest.

Rewards

•  [Turkey Caller]

Along the way you may get XX - YYYY XP

Notes

Requires  [1-70] Sharing a Bountiful Feast to unlock this chain.

Summary

1.  [1-70] Spice Bread Stuffing
2.  [1-70] Pumpkin Pie
3.  [1-70] Cranberry Chutney
4.  [1-70] They're Ravenous In Darnassus /  [1-70] Undersupplied in the Undercity
5.  [1-70] Candied Sweet Potatoes
6.  [1-70] Slow-roasted Turkey

This quest chain involves quantities of 5, and generally sends you from the city that has the ingredients to a different city. Actually making the items requested is often part of the objectives. This means that getting the foodstuffs from other characters isn't good enough. Nor does it help to make the items before you accept the quest.

At the end of the chain you receive the [Turkey Caller] as a reward.

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.
