Kommentar von Hoazl

Die Truthähne können überall im Wald von Elwynn und in Tirisfal gefunden werden. Zum einfachen aufspüren benutzt einfach folgendes Makro:
/target Wilder Truthahn
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target",1)

Dies nimmt den Truthahn ins target und markiert ihn gleichzeitig mit einem Stern.

Bei jedem Truthahn, den ihr tötet, bekommt ihr einen Buff, der zählt, wieviele ihr schon getötet habt. Bei 40 gibts dieses Achievement. Viel Spaß beim jagen der Truthähne (oder beim ausrasten weil ein anderer dir den Truthahn, den du töten wolltest, vor der Nase wegschnappt :) )

Kommentar von 895454

Der Buff hält 30s an und zählt die getöteten Truthähne. Wenn der Buff ausläuft könnt ihr von vorne anfangen.

Turkinator 3: Rise of the Turkeys

You Are Turkinated!

Kommentar von 150104

While the most obvious refererance is to the Terminator lets not forget another Turkinator that could be prone to hunting turkeys

I thought of this like an homage before i thought of Terminator.

Kommentar von 363362

This could potentially be a bit of a nightmare...unless they add more turkey spawns. At the moment the only place I know they spawn is in the Howling Fjord. If it's anything like the Friend or Fowl? achievement you need to be the only one there to get it or you end up resetting each other.

Speculation obviously but if it's the case and everyone is hunting then :O

Edit: Just realised that the achievement listed Wild Turkeys...Something added during the holiday then, maybe?

Kommentar von fraeda

This is going to be a nightmare to get unless it's in the wee hours...

Kommentar von jdblue

There is no indication that Friend or Fowl? and this achievement have anything to do with each other. For Friend or Fowl, you are killing the Fjord Turkeys, and for this achievement you are killing Wild Turkeys. Fjord Turkeys will not count towards this achievement, and it is unlikely that the Wild Turkeys will be respawning quickly enough (not to mention they will be heavily camped) to be a viable option for Friend or Fowl. And that's assuming Wild Turkey kills will count for Friend or Fowl, when no dev has indicated that will be the case. (Though it would make sense given a literal reading of the tooltip.)

Kommentar von TastyKhazSteak

It needs 40 for the achievement. 30 second buff resets for each bird killed, you have 30 seconds between kills to be able to get this.

Kommentar von barbeque

For some reason, no one has mentioned what this achievement is about.

You need to kill 40 turkeys, with less than 30s in between each kill. Turkeys are found in Tirisfal Glades, as neutral critter level mobs.

Tracker snacks will be useful, unless you are a hunter.

Kommentar von 488005

Ok, just got this achievement, I have 3 tips,

1. Do it at off-peak hours. I got mine at 3am.
2. The turkey that you summon with the turkey caller does NOT count for this.
3. Horde tip: I started at the Brill Graveyard, worked my way to the lake, followed the shore to the fishing trainer, and then made my way back to Brill. Got 40 Turkeys right at the edge of Brill. If there is someone else attempting it this route might be a dud.

Kommentar von coolcat00011

Tracker snacks and Track Beasts really speed up your search. Turning off other tracking will help you find them, since the turkeys will be yellow dots.

Kommentar von 45377

Frustrating achievement.. do yourself a favor and if you see someone coming from a direction, go another way. Nothing like having 30+ kills and running out of time because someone just cleared an area.

Also, I suggest people make a /tar wild macro for this one. It's very helpful.

Kill a turkey, hit macro/start mounting (pan camera to find it, sometimes hard to see). Using ranged weapon makes it a bit easier too.

Kommentar von 124958

If you're a warrior or bear-druid or any other type of character which can do mass-AoE without damaging (Demoralizing Shout etc) you can successfully leash a lot of turkeys plus other mobs in one swoop. Added bonus is these will be tagged to you so no one can ninja them.

Once you have a huge amount, kill them all off with a massive AoE attack.

Kommentar von Elvador

A very good Alliance route is this:
Map

Kommentar von Mekuri

Used /target Wild

The field south of Scarlet Monestary, got all of them within that area.. like a big turkey farm :) - Enjoy

Kommentar von Reunilana

Tehnicaly you have (30s-1s)x39 times = 1131 seconds to complete achivment if you kill a turkey every 29s (on 30s your buff goes off). Or 18 minutes 51 seconds.
Once you hit 40 turkey you get achivment.
That is of cose if you have a terible luck with timing (also count the lag).

Kommentar von Nohma

As mentioned by Mekuri, the field south of Scarlet Monestary is a brilliant place to find lots of turkeys. What I do suggest, however, is if you are having difficulty completing this, get a friend and do it together.

Basically, one person spots the turkeys while the other kills them. I find that I usually look at how much time I have to get the next turkey and seem to focus on that more than finding the next one to kill, so this way, I don't need to look for them too much as the other person is doing that. Of course, having /target Wild Turkey marcro'd is brilliant and I still used it (as well as the friend using it), we both did it this way for each other and completed on our first attempts with this method. Before, we both tried to complete this achievement about 10 times, failing to do so each time.

Just some advice if you get stuck.

Oh, and as already stated above: You have to kill 40 Wild Turkeys within 30 seconds of each kill. You get a small "Turkey Tracker" buff that stacks for each kill you have, so you know how long you have before you need to kill the next turkey as well as how many turkeys you have killed so far.

Kommentar von Zaphiron

Actually the buff does not stack beyond 40.

Kommentar von 487602

If you're a Hunter, be sure to add in '/use Hunter's Mark' to that macro. It makes them a lot easier to spot. Also, set your pet to 'Passive' while doing this. At first, my Raptor was 'stealing my kills', heh.

Kommentar von 488160

I made a macro to hunt the turkeys, it's a bit simplistic but it worked for me. Hunter's mark made it easy for me to see where to run to next, non-hunters should use something that has a similar effect.
If the turkey was nearby it would get shot, if it wasn't - I'd automatically mount up to get to wherever it was. You can't really stop to loot if you want to be sure to get the achievement.

/tar wild turkey
/cast hunter's mark
/cast XXXXX(replace with a long range spell/shot)
/clear
/cast armored brown bear (replace with your mount)

Kommentar von 458559

Here is a tip if you are doing this 2010, start with the dailys! Cause if you get them done before 03:00 you can get the achivement the first day. Check and DONE!

Kommentar von 478718

it requires 40 kills
you must kill Wild Turkeys in tirisfal glades or elwynn forest

at first kill you gain buff called Turkey Tracker it last for 30sec
10 kills - Turkey Hunter!
20 - Turkey Domination!
30 - Turkey Slaughter!
40 - TURKEY TRIUMPH!
and achievement is done

Kommentar von 435154

I waited until 5am and went inside the scarlet monastery area. To make time for respawns, after finding a turke, I waited until it was 5 secs left and killed it then. Also I tried to have a look at the next one while I was waiting for the kill. In this way the turkeys never ran empty.

Kommentar von 93130

Get in a party as leader (Or a raid with assist) and run around spaming this macro to find the turkeys

/target Wild Turkey
/cleartarget
/script if GetRaidTargetIndex("target")==nil then SetRaidTargetIcon("target",8) end

Kommentar von 302325

My suggestion, after having failed to get to even 30 three times, is to start out near the Bulwark. I picked a side (the south side) and slowly worked my way west.

I suggest NOT going full out on these, it is ok to let the timer tick down if you see another turkey in sight. This gives the turkeys you've just killed time to respawn.

I worked my way down to about coordinates 74, 68 then headed north towards Balnir Farmstead, clearing out that entire area and worked my way back towards the Bulwark. This worked perfectly.

This is also at almost 3am and I met no one along the way.

Happy Turkey Hunting!

Kommentar von Iheartbeer

I found the best place to do this was the area surrounding Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwyyn Forest

Kommentar von 237730

This achievement was a breeze on the coast of Elwynn , with no people and a lot of turkeys :) From Stonefield Farm all the way to Jerods Landing and beyond. Hope this helps.

Kommentar von jlrm365

To hunt wild turkeys, you can use:
- Tracker Snacks, if you are not a hunter (at Derek Odds (Dalaran))
- A macro. Create a simple target macro (/tar wild)
- NPC names: Turn on NPC Names (Game Menu >> Interface >> Names >> (Tick) NPC Names)

- Hunters might be tempted to just turn on "Track Beasts" and run around. That will get you far, but you'll need more luck too. Instead, turn OFF "Track Beasts" (so there are no confusing dots, on the minimap) use the target macro and, as soon as you have a live one, drop a Hunter's Mark on it. I was able to string one to the other.

- Hunters may also want to turn their pets passive. If you have a pet on aggressive or defensive and you are shooting around a tree and don't get the shot off properly, the pet might charge and kill the turkey before it's properly shot.

Some general tips:
- You have a 30 second timer, that gets refreshed with each kill. Don't waste it, but do use it. Find a kill, but then rotate and look for another one, rather than just running off to nowhere.

- The land around Westbrook Garrison (SW of Stormwind) is rich with Wild Turkeys. You can either do the hunter stringing tactic I mentioned or pop some Tracker snacks or try something else, but just below the gates of Stormwind, down to Westbrook Garrison and then further into Hogger territory, are the areas that worked for me.

- It's best to hunt when there are less people around, but it's not impossible at other times. You'll just have to ride further away, the more people there are. 7am or before? You should be fine. 7pm? You will have to ride into the distance.

- It might even be worth taking a ride around, to see which areas are rich in turkeys.

Kommentar von Volsong

Tips in general:

Doing this when the server is least busy is a must
The server may be busier later than usual due to people trying to take advantage of the decrease in traffic
The outskirts of the map are a good place to start
Check your location on the map and try not to back track where you've been
Target macros help a TON for both locating turkeys and attacking them quicker, there are plenty of examples in previous comments

Tips for Warriors:

Use your thrown wep in the middle of a group to hit turkeys from range
Use your Heroic Throw for quick pulls when you can
If you have extra rage, switch to Berserker Stance and use Intercept if you're running low on time, the initial damage will kill the mob
Equip fast weapons so your swing time is very low
Save your charge/intercept if you can so you getting to far away turkeys is easier

It took me about 4-5 runs at around 4:30am to get it. I was about one second left on the last turkey I needed and intercept saved me! =)

Hope all this helps, good hunting!

Kommentar von Isje

to get this you need 40 turkeys fast
DONT LOOT, just kill mount run kill mount run etc... loot after if you still need turkey

and here's where you'll find a lot of turkeys
(horde)

Kommentar von 335462

Just wanted to share a tip about how me and some of my fellow guildies did this achievement last night:

We where three, so when we decided to start on this achievement we found out that the easiest way was to make sure that only one of us kills the turkey's while the two others where out scouting after new ones. We where on vent all three so we told the turkeykiller that there where new turkey's at our spot and when he came we kept scouting for new turkey's. It should be more then enough doing this with two.

So if it feels hard getting this achievement because you can't find enough turkey's before the buff runs out, try this! :) Worked great for us!

And stay a bit offroad... We are alliance and we started as far southeast in Elwynn Forrest as we could (close to Ridgepoint Tower) and ran along the river as much as we could or up along the mountain worked well too.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von 155094

Just a little tip for balance druids... Starfall is an awesome "OS I can't find a turkey button" kills everything in a 36yd range... maybe a turkey... saved me a few times from losing upwards of 20 stacks of the buff.

Kommentar von Seana

Did a loop between the Bulwark and the Balnir Farm in Tirisfal Glades, got it very quickly, lots of turkeys there. Hint: Don't stop to loot.

Kommentar von shkm

Behold, The Ultimate Turkey Macro:

/tar Wild Turkey
/run if not GetRaidTargetIndex("target") and not UnitIsDead("target") and UnitName("target") == "Wild Turkey" then if turkey == nil or turkey == 0 then turkey = 8 end SetRaidTarget("target", turkey); turkey = turkey -1 end;

It will mark all turkeys that can be targeted with a different icon. Of course, you'll need to be a group leader/raid assistant for this to work.

Kommentar von 117271

For every 10 you kill, some words flash on your screen.

10 - Turkey Hunter!
20 - Turkey Domination!
30 - Turkey Slaughter!
40 - TURKEY TRIUMPH!

Kommentar von 242606

I did it in less then 30 mins while lot of people was doing this achievement at the same time. Here's my tips for the Alliance:

1) get Tracker snacks at the AH (wild turkeys will appears in yellow)
2) Make the macro : /target Wild Turkey
3) Go to Elwynn Forest and start at the far South West and follow the south river all along to the east part, then go north (close to Eastvale Logging Camp) and around the big lake. Don't stay too close of GoldShire. Never go back on your steps! CLIC HERE to see the route i use.
4) Doing this achievement late at night or early in the morning is a VERY GOOD idea!
5) Use all your long and mid range attacks (be fast! you're not alone!) How many times i stole a kill from a melee. :o)
6) you have to kill 40 Wild Turkeys with 30 sec max between each kill. you will have a msg in your screen every 10 kills.

Good luck to all! Cause this one can be very frustrating.

Kommentar von Krokar

i found that if your in Elwyn and go to the Westbrook Garrison and go around that in circles you can get it done pretty fast with at least 20+ spawn locations there. GL!

Kommentar von 424187

To do this achievement for alliance:
Make a target macro, and an instant spell cast to go with it. For example:
/target wild turkey
/cast Icey touch

Once you have this run around the Tower of Azora. There are turkeys to the northeast, north, south, and southwest of the tower.

Kommentar von limbah

The trick is actually to find a secluded area (for example the island to the east in Elwynn), and then take it easy. Don't rush, kill your turkeys slowly. That way they will have time to respawn. If you take 20+ s between each kill you will be fine. If you rush it, you will run out of turkeys when you meet another player.

Oh, and use the Tracker Snacks.

Kommentar von Lizinator

Hello :)
To get my achievement, I ate my Tracker Snacks then headed to Eastvale Logging Camp. There was nobody else around trying to steal my turkeys. Another good thing was that there were lots of red dots (low-level Prowlers, Bears, etc), and the only yellow dots that showed up in that area where my turkeys, making it very easy to find them! Best of luck to you :)

Kommentar von 255922

Some general stuff

As many have said before: do it late at night or early in the morning
most servers don't have a 50/50 ratio of horde:alliance, so go to the less populated area (tirisfal or elwynn)
look for a remote corner
that Tracker Snack can help
If you stand before a turkey and have lots of time left, use it to look for the next turkey
take care with your path, move always forward along a route that is long enough so you don't end up in a place where you have already slaughtered all turkeys

Kommentar von 488555

"Give me your claws and your work beaks"

Kommentar von 480762

This was a pretty easy achievement, I even was able to do it at 9pm (6pm server time).

1. hotkey /target Wild Turky (hunter's tracking and/or tracking potions help, but aren't necessary)

2. when a turkey comes up, scan around for the name and highlighted ground if you can, you can join a group just to use raid targeting, but also not completely necessary, just useful

3. if you have an instant cast AoE (Arcane Blast, Holy Nova, etc.) or any instant dmg/dot, you'll do fine. I'm sure a fast attack would be fine too. Instant AoE is good, because you can just run near the turkey

4. if there's another nearby, you can take time to loot, if not, mount up and start spamming the /target again

p.s. for horde: go from Brill toward the Bullwark and back, crisscrossing the road and you'll find tons, though you may have to compete for kills.

Kommentar von Gryphon

As a druid I used the following macro. It only target live Turkeys and will mark the turkey with a raid icon if you are party leader or have raid assist. It will start auto attack so you can smack them if you are in melee range and Moonfire hasn't fired. It will change you to Travel Form between killing Wild Turkeys. Just run around and spam the macro.

/tar Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
/cleartarget
/startattack Wild Turkey
/cast Travel Form
/cast Moonfire

Kommentar von 322142

After reaching 40 kills, every other kill just refreshes the 40 kill buff.

Kommentar von Cernunous

I got all mine, in short order, in Venomweb Vale (the field south of Scarlet Monastery) around 85,47. After having tried other areas, I found this much easier due to the somewhat open and flat nature of the terrain. It seemed that the turkeys spawned much faster and closer together in that area but it could also be that they were much easier for me to spot. As a hunter, I used the following macro which worked quite well for me there.

/cleartarget
/target Wild Turkey
/cast Hunter's Mark

Kommentar von Coriam

I combined several other suggestions: I invited a friend's bank alt to a group, then used the following macro:

/tar wild turkey
/cleartarget
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 8)
/cast <insert class-appropriate instant spell>

This targets a live Wild Turkey (and will not pick up the one you just killed), puts the skull raid icon on it so that you can find it even behind trees and small hills, and casts an instant-cast spell (as a paladin I used Hand of Reckoning, substitute out whatever is class appropriate for you).

The range of the instant vs. the raid target range meant that I had plenty of time to see the turkey and actually run up to it to get my kill, leaving the spell for emergency less-than-10-seconds-left moments.

As for my path: I started just west of Stonecairn Lake in Elwynn (67,53), circled north and around to (80,57), then made a wide loop around Eastvale Logging Camp; this got me to 37, so I crossed the road south to Ridgepoint Tower to get the last 3. There were a couple of spots where I had to mount and spam the macro while moving forward, but each time I found a turkey before I'd gone too far (within the first 15 seconds of the 30-second countdown).

Also, the counter won't go past 40.

Kommentar von drummerdude09

does killing them while in a group give nearby party members the buff as well?

Kommentar von PocketFox

A great place for me as Alliance was the southeastern corner of Elwynn, south of the road, after you cross the river (the area around Ridgepoint Tower). That little bit of forest is FULL of turkeys, and no competition when I went at around 11:15 server time. I found so many sometimes my target-cast macro didn't know which way to turn. XD

Kommentar von 190519

Finally got this achievement, took me forever. I suggest staying up real late (barely anyone was in the zone and none of them were turkey hunting) at least on my server. pretty much impossible with any competition. but it certainly has a very rewarding feeling after you get it, just made me want to kill even more turkeys' just for fun now though.

Kommentar von 293197

ok, For alliance and Hordes the best location to get that done, nice and easy is al GladesTirisfal and follow this Map

it is better than Elwynn Forest as Elwynn Fores has too many trees and buildings , but GladesTirisfa has less trees and clear area

also you should at least make a macro

/tar Wild Turkey
/cast

and follow these instruction
1. don't kill your Wild Turkey until you have a next Target
2. if you have no Next Target try to wait before the buff goes with 2 - 3 secs, to consider the Wild Turkey spawn time
3. use your mount to run to your next Target

that should help , I did it in 10 mins there :P

Kommentar von 153151

Just want to stress the importance of doing this calmly and focusing on the route that you take, rather than looking at it as a frantic orgy of turkey violence. Certain areas in both Elwynn and Tirisfal spawn far more turkeys than others, and a couple of those areas are pretty remote.

Take your time, look at the turkey spawn areas, and plan your route accordingly. Always know what direction you're headed, and kill all the turkeys in any given area with that direction in mind. If you have to backtrack a lot you'll end up in turkey voids and never get anywhere.

It really isn't that hard once you start looking at it analytically rather than freaking out about the timer.

Kommentar von Alcasczar

Kommentar von 382842

When you have completed a special quest chain during the pilgrim week you'll get a Turkey Caller. This will summon a lonely turkey with a heart over it's head. This lonely turkey will not count as a wild turkey and it's useless to get the achievement.

Kommentar von Aisenfaire

Intro

Wild Turkey spawn all over Elwynn Forest and Tirisfal Glades during this event. Killing a Wild Turkey will give you a buff called Turkey Tracker that lasts 30 seconds. You must kill another turkey while you still have that buff, and it will refresh to 30 seconds again and stack to 2. When you successfully chain-kill 40 turkeys in this manner (getting the buff stacked to 40), you will get this achievement.

First, let me just say that this achievement was not well thought-out. There are only 2 maps that can spawn the turkeys, the buff only lasts 30 seconds, and the turkeys do not spawn fast enough to account for the number of people hunting them on high-population servers.

That said, here is how to make it less painful:

Guide

Be on at an unearthly hour like 4AM. Or else do it much later in the week.
Type /who Elwynn and /who Tirisfal. Note that you will only see people of your faction, of course, but this should help a little in judging where to hunt turkeys. (For example, Tirisfal Glades may be a better choice if you see 49 results in Elwynn and 1 result in Tirisfal, and you know that the Horde population in your server is low.)
Buy or cook Tracker Snacks.
Go to the map you've chosen and turn off all tracking (minerals, etc.) so that the only dots you see on your minimap are beasts. Eat the Tracker Snacks.
If you have a non-damaging attack, add it to your targetting macro. (See code box at the bottom.) Bind it to a convenient location that you can hit easily while running, such as the middle mouse button.
Look for a spot where your minimap shows a lot of turkeys. Start there.
If you have a non-damaging attack, try to kite each turkey a little way (they leash) towards the next turkey. You can kite more than one turkey at a time. Watch for the next turkey on the minimap so you know which direction to head to. Also keep an eye on your turkey buff, and kill the turkey before it runs out.
Remember that buffs on yourself such as Thorns may kill the turkey prematurely, if you're kiting them. Also, don't try to kite too far or you'll lose time when they decide to run home and evade.

*edit:

13 years after I posted this, I notice now that the macro didn't display due to an error in formatting code. Fixing it now.

/tar Wild Turkey
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 2);
/cast Faerie Fire

If you don't have Faerie Fire, replace it with a taunt or whatever non-damaging ability you've got to make them chase you.

Good luck!

Kommentar von 360186

The place between the western shore of the lake in tirisfall and the northern road leading to Brill is filled with turkeys. I got 36 there, even without mounting between each hit on the macro. The rest were just across the road to the south. Happy hunting!

Kommentar von 94623

This is probably the most infuriating of all achievements.

Get to 25, can't find a turkey, reset. Get to 35, can't find a turkey, reset. Its horrible.

Kommentar von Pepperly

as stated above it is very helpful, especially if you are on a high pop server to do this at a strange hour. 12 to 6 am will suffice. Being on a new player server (on and off for 3 years) and doing this at ~6 30 st bagged me the achievement on the first attempt. Got it again when farming turkeys

Kommentar von 142990

Tracker snacks are really a must. Get em. Then during a not so busy time of the day, I highly recommend the area around Azora tower, as all the beasts there are red dots on the map except the turkeys. Makes it super easy to target the turkeys.

Kommentar von Kaemalux

At 7th try, on Runetotem, i managed to do this achieve right now (16.45 pm) in Elwynn: just do a cross patch starting from upper zone of Crystal Lake, to southern zone of Ridgepoint Tower.

I had intention to make track food, but i did achieve without, and with 49 ppl on who in Elwynn

Kommentar von Celice

Some reasonable points, but I disagree that the achievement is ill thought-out. I play on Alonsus, which is a full server, and once I had the knack on one character I succeeded first-try on all the others at early evening. For the record I was killing in Eastvale Logging Camp.

The problem I found is that you can cause a shortage of turkeys yourself by doing the natural thing and killing them as quickly as possible. The solution is to find your next turkey each time and pause until the countdown reaches 10 or 15 seconds before killing. New turkeys will spawn reassuringly around you and you will never run out unless you are very unlucky.

Kommentar von Saorise

The best piece of advice I can offer is find an area with turkeys, and kill them slowly. Wait till your timer hits about 10 seconds. I never ran out of turkeys (I even had a rogue and warlock in my area). Killing them slowly one at a time allowed for more to keep spawning.

Kommentar von 43806

CANT FIND A TURKEY WITH ONLY SECONDS LEFT! Tip: use your Turkey Caller (2min CD) that spawns a wild turkey that can be killed which counts towards the Achievement.

The Turkey Caller comes from completing Slow-roasted Turkey .

Sorry this does not work. It creates a Lonely Turkey not a Wild Turkey but you can still kill it for the food.

Kommentar von 488784

I just completed this achievement maybe 30 minutes ago in Tirisfal Glades. I had a friend with me that scouted out the turkeys. I am on a high pop server and I would get to 38 or 39 and *poof* no more turkeys.

I went by the pond and the graveyard in Brill and got them all.

Hope this helps.

Kommentar von 335390

If you're doing this in Elwynn Forest then my advice is that you use Tracker Snacks and start from Eastvale Logging Camp. Start chopping the heads off those turkeys and make your way to the west. When following this direction ALL yellow dots on the minimap will be Wild Turkeys since there aren't anything else than wolves and bears which are shown as red dots. The turkeys here are pretty close together and I didn't encounter many players there. Good luck. :)

Kommentar von 250091

An easy way I found to do this:

Get a friend with a multi-person mount. Both use Tracker Snacks. Create the following macro(s):

/run VehicleExit()

/tar Wild
/cast

Hop back on the vehicle mount and the friend drives you to the next victim. Since your mount up takes almost no time, this is significantly quicker than summoning your own mount.

Kommentar von 482053

i used a combo of yours and another one that was posted and worked awsome not only was i able to find them with the raid icon i was also able to kill them
/tar Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
/cast Mind Flay

Kommentar von 62855

This one is ticking me off. I tried taking some time off from work in the middle of the day to get this done before everyone gets home in the evening, but no dice. I haven't been able to get past 20 or so before I run across another person or people killing turkeys and a resulting turkey desert. very maddening. I got up to 32 last night in the wee hours. I guess I'll have to try again later in the week, but with family coming into town, I am not sure when I can get this one done. Stupid achievement to put in a meta, imo. So much depends on when you can play and the luck of not crossing paths with any of the other thousands of people trying for it.

Kommentar von Cassandrart

This area is also amazing. Someone already mentioned it but I thought it might be useful if I add that the Turkeys there are the only yellow beasts which makes it easy as pie ;)

Kommentar von 432844

After failing at 37 stacks my first attempt, then squandering my time failing terribly for the next few hours I had given up. However feeling renewed I tried again, after two or three attempts I got it using this route. I started at the Eastvale Logging Camp and ended on the island in the middle of Stone Cairne Lake. Good luck!

Kommentar von AusSpyder

Something I found helpful, was turn NPC names on.

This allows you to see just with a quick camera rotation any that are within targetable range

Kommentar von 133472

By far the best place that I found was Venomweb Vale (south of Scarlet Monestary) in Tirisfal Glades. Lots of turkeys in a relatively small area, just keep doing loops around the place. I managed to get this very quickly during a prime time (7:30 on a Monday night) using nothing more than a /tar wild macro.

Doctor's warning: This achievement should be avoided by people with high blood pressure...

Kommentar von 233296

I have one piece of advise that makes this easier if your attempting during times when others are doing the same. Target a turkey and stand next to it and wait until the timer is almost done to kill it. while you're waiting look around, plan your route, and be warry of where other players are farming. Doing this will allow you to circle around a small area and give them time to respawn. It will also give other players the opportunity to see you and stay out of your area. Good Luck.

Kommentar von mrkorb

Don't even waste your time trying to do this in Elwynn. I'd get up to about 20 or so and either run out of turkeys, or I'd run into somebody else killing them in the area I was moving to. Head to Tirisfal Glades, where the turkeys are everywhere, especially right on the road coming from Eastern Plaguelands. Kill northward towards SM, and you should have it easily on your first try, if not your second.

Kommentar von 83662

The buff you get from killing a turkey (and need to stack to 40 for this achievement) is called Turkey Tracker

You only get Turkey Tracker from killing Wild Turkeys(beast), so killing the Lonely Turkeys from a Turkey Caller won't do you any good except granting you a lootable Wild Turkey(food reagent).

Kommentar von sk8nguitar

Whoever thought of this Achievement needs to be shot in the face. It's so ridiculously aggravating. It's not even doing it with a ton of people on that aggravating cause I waited until the early ass morning when no one was on and I would still get all the way up to 30+ turkeys then suddenly there were just none left in the entire world, then right when the timer hits 0 up ahead pops one.

I nearly destroyed my mouse numerous times trying to do this because I kept throwing it against the wall.

This achievement was made by satan and is VERY bad for the health of your mouse and other peripherals that are in reach.

Anyway still haven't completed it, wont ever complete it, so the title and bird pet can suck my ass. Not worth my sanity and blood pressure

Kommentar von 412422

OMG... This is a crazy bull crap achievement. It doesn's tell you how fast you need to kill the turkeys, and to be honest, everyone else is hunting, so it is not as easy as you think. You need to find time when no one else is hunting.
Each time you kill a turkey, you have 30 secs. to find the next one and kill it. The first 10 you are called a "Turkey Hunter", then at 20, you are "Turkey Domination", at 30 you are "Turkey Slaughter". Then last but not least, at 40 you get the title "Turkey Triumph! AKA .
I hope this helps.

Did it this morning at 3:00am server time; Tracker Snacks are a great help. I used the "around Stonecairn Lake and down to Ridgepoint Tower" path.

Kommentar von Indref

Server time: 07:45, Tuesday
Location: Circular valley south of Scarlet Monastery
Strategy: With zero competition at the strange hour, find a good bunch of turkeys. If you can stand in one spot and see three or more, this is awesome. Label this point The Turkey Farm.

Find a turkey. Do not kill the bird.
Look for your next turkey. Mount up and run around if you need to.
When your buff is down to it's last 10secs, run back to your selected turkey and pwn it.
Run back to the next turkey you previously found. Mark it, and look around for your next.
Lead around the valley in a circle, but the second you look around in panic and find no turkeys, bolt back to The Turkey Farm as fast as you can. There should be respawns!

Repeat this loop of looking, waiting until your buff is almost up, then pwning, is the trick.

You will drag out your kills, vastly increasing respawn.
You will always know where your next kill is.
Achieved first attempt when done this way.

Beware sudden server restarts while doing this achievement...I was almost there...only needed 10 more. *cries*

Kommentar von Samphis

Many Turkeys. Handle it.

Kommentar von Maritova

I must have been very lucky, because after a couple feeble attempts I finally went to the area south of SM, and it was a breeze. As a cook, the Tracker Snacks I had were integral to my success (find a cook friend to make some for you).

Kommentar von 320682

Does anyone know is I cast like curse of elements or weakness on the turkey does that make it my kill? And no one else will get credit for the kill.

Really don't want to even attempt this but I think I will wake up early and give it a shot, if I don't get it, It will be a long day at work.

This is what I have dug up for those that don't want to read through all these posts.

Tirisfal Glades is the best place to achieve this. (between Brill and Scarlet Monastery or south of Scarlet Monastery)

Make sure to pick up tracker snacks

Don't kill the turkey's every time you see one, wait till the next one is in line of sight

Use /tar wild macro

Try to do it at a non popular time (/who will help to tell if there are many of your faction in the area)

If you can get a friend to help it will make it much easier (have them scouting them well you kill them and vise versa)

Don't use turkey caller it doesn't count towards achievement

Keep pet on passive, if your pet kills it you don't recieve buff

Another good place to farm them seems to be far east in Elwynn Forest near the Stonecairn Lake and Eastvale logging camp

That should be about it. Good luck to all, and try not to get too frustrated with this.
Remember its only a game =D

Kommentar von Leviatharan

For Hordies, the best place to find turkeys is Venomweb Vale, the big area south of SM with all the spiders. It's especially helpful if you have Tracker Snacks, cause then all you need to look for are the yellow dots on your compass without stumbling onto neutral bats (the reds will be spiders and vampiric bats. See any greens and clear out- those are hunter pets encroaching on your territory!). Make sure to macro an instant attack to the turkey in case someone else has the same idea for hunting as you.

/tar Wild Turkey
/cast (instant attack here)

PS: I forgot you have to eat the snacks for 10 secs before you get the buff and had to buy a second in UC before hunting. >.< Don't do what I did.

Kommentar von 93779

Whoever invented this achievement needs to be pecked to death by 40 angry turkeys. Been up to 35-39 4 times now and run out of time because someone who is just starting walks up and kills the turkey I need. Blizzard needs to remove this achievement as a meta for the title.

Kommentar von jster

I found this hard as a warlock, but i did use the following Macro:

#show Wild Turkey
/cleartarget
/target Wild Turkey
/script SetRaidTarget("target",1)
/cast Corruption

This macro spammed corruption and stared the target. I give credit for Fiver for developing the code.

I wanted to share that as alliance or horde, going just East of Undercity was very good for me. I got the achievement on the first time spamming that macro while walking East. When you hit the wall start moving yourself north and you will get the achievement very quickly. Also for other Alliance, make sure you grab undercities tables while ur here, and Silvermoon if you want while your up north.

Edit: I play on Skullcrusher a very high populated server, and still i had no problems when i did it here.

Kommentar von 309301

Is it just me, or does the Turkey kill counter remind anyone of Unreal Tournament?

Kommentar von 214622

This has got to be the most annoying achievement because -everyone- goes out of their way to snag a turkey, no matter how close you are to it. I've completed it though, and have some advice for my fellow Hordies.

I'm on Shadow Council (RP), and I went to the circular area beneath Scarlet Monastery (Venomweb Vale) at 8pm, peak time (no buttcrack of dawn/ 3am or 5:30am here) to give this achievement a shot.

I got it after 2 or 3 minutes. There are so many turkeys here it's ridiculous. There are so many turkeys! I didn't bother using a macro!

I entered the Vale through the wide entrance and went south, following the mountains around to the east. I didn't even have to go half way around the Vale.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von 378730

This is what I used as Macro for a the hunt.

/target Wild Turkey
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 2);

Make sure you are in a party so you can mark the birds.

Also I recommend putting your fastest mount in your hot key. I don't recommend adding any /cast spells into this macro unless it doesn't auto target mobs.

Happy Hunting.

: I also recommend if you have a mount to start your hunt just south of the Murloc village near the Eastvale Logging Camp and proceed slowly south. I usually get a quick 40 with my alts.

Kommentar von 489327

I kept going after I reached 40 and I managed to make it to 100 without losing the buff. I got two more Turkey Triumphs before I hit 100. I forget which kills I got the two other Triumphs at but I believe they were at 62 kills and 86 kills.

this worked great got it in one try after a few hours of trying in elweyn and around brill

Kommentar von Alanor

As a shammy you don't need very much to do it, just switch into wolf form and run around chomping turkeys (I still don't get why they fall down cooked after a bite, must be the new goblin Jalapeño toothpaste I bought from Tobias in Shattrath City). Spider area on the left of the road to SM is confirmed to be the best place, loads of turkeys and (almost) no one around.

Kommentar von 266010

well i figure 100x is turkey apocolypse (i got up to 113x) but the counter stops at 40 : so blizzard needs to add a new one for next year haha

Kommentar von 349611

This is my guide for Turkey Terminator sanity...

1. Allow plenty of time to do this quest. If you get in a hurry, you will only get frustrated. If you fail for any reason, take a few minutes to allow re-spawns before you start again.

2. Create a macro (/tar wild turkey) and if desired, add any class specific ability that you can. As a warrior, I used (/cast charge) and it worked like a champ.

3. Scout your area before you start killing. Make sure there are plenty of turkeys and no other poachers in the area.

4. Invite a friend into your party to scout out the next turkey before you kill the one you are on. Make sure your friend creates the /target macro as well, and you can just go to their dot on your mini-map.

5. Don't kill the next turkey you find immediately. After you find the next turkey, hover over it until only 8-12 seconds remain on your timer, then kill it and move on. This allows enough time for re-spawns in case you have to back-track, or if you are using a friend, it allows them plenty of time to find your next kill or two or three.

6. Don't loot the turkey meat. After you kill your turkey, move on quickly. If another turkey is not in your line of sight, then mount up immediately after the kill, spam the macro (or run to your friend,) then find and kill the next turkey.

NOTE: Doing this during prime time playing hours is futile. Hunting turkeys in heavily populated areas, such as near a city or heavy questing area is futile. The best places seem to be the farthest outlying areas and don't forget to scout the area first!

I did this achievement alone, after midnight on a heavy populated server and completed it on my first try following these guidelines. The next night, I scouted for a friend who took two tries to complete it. (She got anxious and killed turkey #22 immediately rather than waiting a few seconds, and neither of us could find another turkey in time, thus the fail.)

Happy Hunting and Happy Thanksgiving!

I can just imagine what the moron who came up with this quest must have been thinking while toking on his crack pipe. Hey, I got a great idea! lets have a quest that makes no sense at all, like killing 40 turkeys, cause, you know, we have to feed 13,000,000 million players. And, let's pick just two areas to put them in, so they're flooded with players running around like headless chickens . . . err . . . turkeys. And, to make it more enjoyable, let's only put a few in those areas and lets make them very slow spawning! Cause, you know, people come here to get away from the drudgery of their real lives, so lets put the drudgery of real life in the game. Ya, that's it, that's a totally cool quest!

Kommentar von 487227

Pretty easy achievement, got it my first try at 10:30 pm on a 'high' population server.

The trick is to realize you have 30 seconds to find a new turkey and when you kill a turkey, your 30 seconds is refreshed.

So what you do is see a turkey, but hold off on killing it, scan the area for your next turkey. When you've found your next target or when your 30 seconds is almost up, kill your first turkey.

In this way you can plan out your path a bit better.

Kommentar von 489664

This quest achievement is very bad for your blood pressure....however 143 turkeys later I finally got it around Balnir Farmstead off to the right of UC. The place is lousy with turkeys and they all seem to be in close proximity with each other. The Tracker Snacks really helped a lot too.

Kommentar von 337331

I can confirm that Venonweb Vale (the area just south of Scarlet Monastery) is the/one of the best spots to do this. I got it in about 5-7 minutes of getting there. There was even someone else there doing it while I was and I still got 40 turkeys without him stealing my kills or me stealing his. If you haven't done this one yet and are frustrated beyond reason like I was, go here and go nuts.

Kommentar von 442848

I did it first try mid day, without tracker snacks. Took me like 10 mins, I just did a loop of SE Elwynn, from behind the keep round to Hogger and then back through the farms.

Pretty logical achievement and shouldn't need a guide.. Just do it when all the children are at school or when everyone is asleep. :o

Kommentar von 18268

Best place is near The Bulwark between Tirisfal Glades and the Western Plaguelands, at least at 3am. Scope the place out; I found zero turkeys ]near the big barn area; but followed the road up once all turkeys were killed in the area. Was surprised how many there were compared to the overly farmed area of Stormwind..

Kommentar von 490477

I'd strongly recommend going into Venomwab Vale in Tirisfal; there's a circle of around 20 around the outskirts and from Crusader's Outpost northwards.

Having a macro helps greatly with this.

Also, it helps to have your run begin just off the path to the Scarlet Monastery, as the turkeys won't respawn in time otherwise..

Kommentar von Kanariya

This is one of those achievements that you wonder why Blizz even put in the game. It's incredibly frustrating to do, and you're most likely not going to get it on your first few tries, especially if you're on a very populated server.

If a party member kills a turkey do you both get the buff?

Kommentar von LuckyGhoul

Complited in Tirisfal Glades, ran around Brightwater Lake for turkeys

I tried this a few times and never got very high. The whole north area of the lake seems to have pretty sparse turkey populations.

Finally got it done by clearing the west coast of Brightwater as quickly as possible, then hitting the 2 on the island, then staying on the east coast of the lake, into the area south of SM, like many people recommend. The respawns are incredibly fast on this side and I had no close calls.

Tracker snacks are very useful as many have said. Also, a macro to target and mark turkeys is great. Just use:

/tar Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 6)

to put the blue square over their heads. High visibility ftw!

Kommentar von 692173

Kill 40 turkeys with under 30 seconds between each kill. The following 3 steps will help:

1) Try and do it off peak, late or early if possible and not at the weekend to avoid the crowds as all you need is a sudden rush of players and you have to start from scratch.

2) Try and leave some time between kills to let them respawn - again this is much easier off peak when you don't have to worry about others in the area taking the kill while you wait.

3) Most importantly i would strongly recommend buying tracker snacks off the AH, you eat for 10 seconds become well fed and can then track the turkeys for an hour as you would herbs or nodes etc. Makes life so much easier and means you can plan ahead which turkey to go for rather then running around like a headless, erm, turkey.

Do these 3 together and it becomes pretty simple. Good luck Pilgrim!

Kommentar von jeremy8000

Macro's listed earlier have one key flaw: They tend to target dead turkeys (yours that you just killed or someone else's). Try this:

#showtooltip cooking
/tar wild turkey
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 6)

Ok, the tooltip line isn't needed, but kinda nice having a big ole turkey on the button! And use whatever raid icon you want. I used 6 for the blue square, as I find it to be the most visible.

I recommend against putting a /cast instantspell as you will want to wait until you're on top of it to minimize loss of time between killing it and looting it before you have to get to the next one (or if you're not looting, you'll want the time to be scanning visually for your next target).

Kommentar von 56184

Kommentar von Nerphed

I went just south of the Scarlet Monastery, and used the following macro:

/tar wild
/cast Arcane Barrage

As you can see, I am a mage, but just replace Arcane Barrage with any random ranged damage spell you have, and bingo :)

/tar wild
/cast SpellNameHere

Oh, and don't waste time looting, if you need turkey to cook, do that another time. Looting wastes precious time!

Hope this helps anyone, enjoy!

Kommentar von specialmias

So after much frustration I simply found that if you make a big enough "circle" meaning enough for you to run to one end of the map and then on your way back have respawns you're fine. However, If someone else disrupts your "path of spawns" you can forget about it.

So say I start near the UC gate and kill turkeys all the way to brill graveyard, this is too short of a loop as the turkeys won't respawn by the time you run back and you won't find another in 30 seconds. The key is here that you're running in
A) a loop large enough to cover a lot of ground
B) No one else interrupts your loop pattern
C)Your loop takes enough time that it allows you to have returned when the turkeys are respawning

Kommentar von DuskStalker

Thanks for the great posts about your routes around Brill, even as an Alliance player it was worth doing there (I was already at Undercity for Pilgrim's Peril). The advice to take your time between kills to let turkeys re-spawn was also very useful.

Kommentar von Wolftrainer

I found a good way to complete this achievement for hunters, use the macro
/targ Wild Turkey
to find a turkey by spamming it, then shoot them with arcane shot, got me the achievement in one try.

Kommentar von witteafval

When using tracker snacks, it's best to hunt them in an area without any non-aggresive beasts, though I still couldn't get up to 40 when I tried it thanks to all the competition. Even if you tag the turkey with a taunt, you get no credit if someone else then kills it. I tried around the Eastvale Logging Camp and the lake to the north, but I think too many people in my realm are now in on the idea.

One of my toons finally got the achievement by working the area between the road and the river in the south of the zone (Elwynn Forest), using a targeting macro instead of tracker snacks due to the distracting yellow boars in the area. Turkeys there were well spaced, and no one else was around.

Kommentar von 205559

After hitting 33 kills 2 evenings in a row I finally made it yesterday at 20:00 CET. This was a totally lucky day in Elwynn Forest since there was no one else hunting any turkeys wich might be the case that time of the day.

On the first attempt I took the Westbrook Garrison run. This was quite succesful but I didn't make it since the turkeys didn't spawn as fast as I needed them to do. I ran out of targets and was quite soon back on step one.

The second attempt went to Eastvale Logging Camp. This is where the action is. Turkeys everywhere!

But the main thing is to have the place for your own so to speak. There's not a chance you'll make if it's a lot of other players running around and hunting the achievement the same time you're doing it. Choose a day in the end of that Pilgrim week when the most of the players already have the achievement and might let you hunt your turkeys on your own.

It's one of the most frustrating achievements I've done anyway.

To get the achievment The Turkinator you need to hunt down 40 Wild Turkies and it must be done in the time line of 30 seconds between each kill.
It has 4 phases, you´ll see a little animation above your head:
10 kills - Turkey Hunter
20 kills - Turkey Domination
30 kills - Turkey Slaughter
40 kills - Turkey Triumph and this gives You the achievment "The Turkinator"

Kommentar von 409694

I managed to complete this at level 10. Whether I was incredibly lucky or no one seems to know of the area, there are scores of turkeys in Venomweb Vale in Tirisfal Glades. It was 10:00pm server time. I did not have a mount; I just cleared the area first and then ran around punching turkeys. Good luck!

Kommentar von Ambrinda

As a priest i found using:

/target Wild Turkey
/cast Shadow Word: Pain

useful since it's a long range attack and you can move while casting, so you get to keep searching while killing.

Also, if you cant find a turkey after 5-10 seconds and your 30 seconds is slowly running out, try mounting up n running round the area while spamming the macro.

Kommentar von 914453

bring ur fastest mount, go at off-peak hour with the marco below. EZ achivement
/target wild turkey
/script SetRaidTarget("target",6)
/cast fan of knives

Kommentar von wtfear

Yup, very easy with the macro given above:
1. Create a Macro like this, and have it on your toolbar:
--------------
/cleartarget
/tar wild turkey
/stopmacro
/cast Fel Flame <---- Or any spell you have, preferably an instant spell. This is for a warlock. Name of the spell is given on the tooltip.
--------------
Creating a macro is easy. Press ESC, then Macros, create a new, paste that stuff in, Save it, and drag the button down to the toolbar to make a shortcut.

2. Walk around in one of those areas (Elw. Forest or T. Glades) and simply keep pressing the macro button. If a red mob comes after you, just use the same instant spell to kill it and get out of combat.

3. Watch your minimap to see where the mob is. It will be selected automatically by the macro. Watch the turkey buff's timer. Time it so you dont waste time walking to the dead turkey, but do fire it soon if you think someone else is coming for it.

4. If you dont see a mob, fly a short distance and try again.

I did this in the day and there were a few other people around and it worked great in helping me find another turkey right away. If you still have problems because there's too many people breaking your "cycle" (happened to me when I tried to get 40 again to see what would happen) try again in another area or on another day. Saw the comment below and want to add: if you're on a PVE server, chances are there's less horde than alliance on that server. In that case if there's too many people in Elw. forest, try it in T. Glades.

Kommentar von ImpliedConsent

Got this achieve in 5min (non-hunter) with this macro:

#showtooltip Wild Turkey
/target Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7)

It works after you target your first turkey, then adds a red X. You'll see your target on the mini-map. 5min, promise ... don't worry about other players, unless they have the same macro.

Kommentar von 820341

I had the /tar Wild Turkey macro bound to my mousewheel, which made it very much spammable. It's not always desirable to kill the turkey right away, so i did not include an attack in the macro. The target will be shown on the minimap, so it's really easy to run or fly over there.

When i couldn't find anymore turkeys, I just flew back spamming the macro. Got it on the first try.

Kommentar von 572872

One note: Don't count on The Turkey Caller to help, it only brings in in Lonely Turkeys, which will not count toward this achievement (although you can loot them for Wild Turkey for cooking).

I made a stupid macro. Pretty similar to everyone else's idea. I'm a mage, of course.

Run around central Elwynn forest, just north of Goldshire.

/tar Wild Turkey
/cast Ice Lance

Keep spamming the macro button. Look at your map, make sure that your targets are highlighted on your map. Use blink to get close to them as soon as possible. The respawn rate was sufficient enough for me to get the achievement at 1 in the morning CDST.

Easy achievement. And a helluva lot of fun. :D

Kommentar von neoshade75

L85 Demo Warlock. Created the following macro:

/tar Wild Turkey
/cast Fel Flame

Ran around Trisfal Glades on foot and mounted spamming that macro. I recommend choosing a time when there aren't a lot of people online. Bind the macro and bind another for your mount. Spam the macro till you kill one, then spam your mount, then spam your macro, etc. I had to start over twice cause of other people trying for the achievement too but eventually you'll get it. Oh, and don't bother to pick up the meat or you won't make it.

When you reach the number of killed turkeys - 10, 20, or 30 - the sound you will hear is actual Arnie's "rawr rawr rawr" sampled from a movie.

regarding the simple macro - I tried it 4 or 5 times just walking around, either on aspect of the cheetah or mounting/dismounting a flying mount on my hunter - I was able to reach 31-34 turkeys with just randomly searching for them.
With the macro (just target and arcane shot) I made it whilst at least 3 other players were doing this quest in Elwynn. It was really a piece of cake, with all the trees and boars, wolfves and spiders, cutpurse and god knows what else is wandering Elwynn is really tough to just spot them.
And don't forget to track target on minimap, I didn't at start and sometimes had to look around where the targeted turkey actually is.
And I don't think /cleartarget actually helps, if none turkey is in the range, it will target the dead turkey again. Just keep moving, make that macro a hotkey and fire it repeatedly.
Yeah, and don't try loot them if you really don't have to go that way. If you killed one on the left but the next one is on your right hand, skip the loot. You can farm them for the quest when you will not be under timer.

I found this achievement the most exciting of all the Pilgrim's Bounty achievements all because of the risk of failure. It might be disappointing to get up to 30 turkeys and the lose the buff, but it's really thrilling to get 40 when you know you *almost* didn't do it.

You can elimnate the need for tracker snacks, or even track beasts by using the macro below. I highly recommend even hunters use this macro, because it will eliminate running towards other yellow dots that turn out to not be turkeys or having to check the dots to see which are turkeys and which are not. (credit: the ulitmate turkey macro - righteous fury http://rf.shkm.net ). The macro will target the closest live wild turkey and put a raid icon on it. You should be able to see the targeted turkey on your minimap as well. If there is more than one turkey it will frequently put raid icons on several of them, which makes them easy to see and know which direction to head next.

/tar Wild Turkey
/run if not GetRaidTargetIndex("target") and not UnitIsDead("target") and UnitName("target") == "Wild Turkey" then if turkey == nil or turkey == 0 then turkey = 8 end SetRaidTarget("target", turkey); turkey = turkey -1 end;

Also, an awesome place for turkeys is venomweb vale - the roundish area surrounded by mountains, just south of Scarlett Monastery. Alliance can easily stop by this area while doing Pilgirm's Peril - Undercity. There is hardly ever anyone else hunting turkeys, so you can usually complete the Turkinator on the first try without running out of time (you have 30 sec. to find the next turkey, and you need a total of 40 consecutive kills without letting the buff timer expire).

One last tip: you will continue to get cooking skillups for making slow roasted turkeys even though they show as grey. I'm not sure how high you can get, but I got up to cooking level 430, at which point I ran out of turkeys to cook. (edit: have confirmed 430 is the most you can level. Turkeys go grey at 355 but continue to give 2 points for each turkey up to 405-with the exception of 1 point at 375 when you need to train- then 1 point per turkey up to 416 skill level. From there it is a point occasionally - every 1 to 10 turkeys - until you reach skill 430).

(edited also to remove period at end of macro that didn't belong there)

Kommentar von Znakharkia

Speed potion works great too. Won't miss a turkey before that buff runs out. And yes, there should be a 'title' and points awarded once completed.

Help Please !
I just achieved Turkey Triumph but haven't gained Turkinator
Any suggestions ?
I also have Turkey Hunter btw (same event)

Thanks in advance

Kommentar von SFFCorgi

I am all Turkinator'd out. Three of my toons got it, the two (one each side) primarily doing the event and an extra Alliance character.

The comments here were VERY helpful. The macro idea made things just that little bit easier, but the important parts are:

Do this in the middle of your server's night so you won't run out of turkeys/be interrupted.
Pick the right area to start your run. As it has been suggested here, I found going to the far east of each area had the best selection of turkeys - fly to the logging camp in Elwynn Forest or run/ride over to Venomweb Vale/the Bulwark for Tirisfal Glades. Start around the road and work north.
You will, under good circumstances, have time to pick them up. Why waste food? The turkeys WILL evaporate in short order if you don't pick them up, and somebody will be able to use them to level up cooking even if you're not interested.

I would like to thank everybody on Wyrmrest Accord except that &%@#$! drunk Orc and his skinny Belf friend for behaving in a civilised and non-hostile manner to each other. I've danced with a near handful of Hordies in Stormwind, and was appreciated for showing up in Undercity (until the drunks came out). I got some great help from both my guildies and the occasional stranger Goblin, just because they could. I gave some help the same way, and got a great ride on a rocket!

Spirit of the holiday, folks.

Kommentar von alexko9

I couldn't resist putting this up:
THE TURKEY-INATOR!

Kommentar von 1056386

Just to sum/clear up:
- 40 turkeys kills;
- 30 seconds between kills;
- just use use a ranged spell/weapon and shoot them on sight
No need for extra buffs and, just in case you're thinking of it, do not waste time on colect the turkeys :)

Kommentar von Guy19

The screenshot is great. :D

Kommentar von TheVeiledGhost

I did it south of Scarlet Monastery and got it easily. There are so many there. I recommend to use a hunter. It makes so much easier when you can track beasts and shoot from distance, as well as using the ability to walk faster. It also helps if you do it in a low populated realm. If you do it in high populated one you're probably going to have to wait until 2 to 4 in the morning.

Kommentar von HunterSalty

/cleartarget
/tar Wild Turkey
/tm 8
/cast Arcane Shot

(replace "Arcane Shot" with your favorite class ranged ability)

Kommentar von Vengalios

I really dont get why we are overcomplicating the Turkinator macro; there is no need to be in a group or raid.

/Target Wild Turkey
/cleartarget

That made it a breeze to track them.

Kommentar von AVAVT

/tar Wild
I use this macro to quickly target the next turkey. You must untarget the (dead) turkey you just looted to get a new target though, kinda weird.

Kommentar von headpiker

You can hunt them down - like turkeys - in Venomweb Vale. For some reason, they like to spawn around hostile mobs. That's why you can find loads of them on that specific location, since it's only spiders and darkhounds there.

Kommentar von R1NN1

I tried counting them and then noticed top right that it counts then automatically, so its pretty easy to make then. There is second timer too. I used /target Wild Turkey (copy-pasted it) and didn't loot them, so more time for finding them. And I just travelled around Tirisfal.

I got little nervous after not finding the turkeys :D only corpses, so had to make that two times. You should just not stress about it.

Kommentar von 89813

I setup the macro as mentioned here and decided to try Elwynn Forest as I was already outside of Stormwind anyway. Failed once not trying it out, second tried i accomplished it never going under 16 seconds. You need plenty of meat anyway so IMHO it is better than wasting the time to get to Trisifal and or fighting other people for it. Good luck.

Kommentar von etnixa

For those of you who are still trying to get the achievement...i'll share a couple of pointers :

1. you can farm turkeys throughout the whole zones, with no exceptions. This made it easier for me to farm turkeys since ppl kind of passed the graveyards and the undead farms( can't see why, but still there where much less ppl @ those areas)

2. If you use tracking ( hunter or snacks) try to farm in the areas with less or no duskbats. Those are, I think, the only other beasts that appear yellow as you track them( they are passive). If not, atleast kill them while you meet them, that way the only yellow dots that will appear will be your turkeys.

Hope this helps, i got my achiev(as a hunter) in 5 mins.

PP: Needless to say you should try to get your achievment @ a not so busy server hour ;)...enjoy your farm

Kommentar von rogermw

If you go BEYOND the number of turkey kills required for this achievement, are there other, bigger, hidden bonuses? Like, at 80 turkeys do you gain "The Double Turkinator" buff?

Kommentar von aviectusG

If you have any problem doing this, try and use this item Fährtenlesersnacks

Kommentar von Gryhut

Alright this is what I would suggest. I just did it now, (1200 so not too busy) and I had no problem!

If you're a druid its esp easy if you have flight form cause it gives you time to hunt for the next turkey. Also the variety of speed boosts should come in handy. I decided to try and made it on my first go. With the joint ach. system if u have a high lvl druid do it on him/her :)

I started on the west side of Elwyn Forest and jut went along the mountain within the forest. There's always at least 3 within sight and if you want to be smart about it, (and you don't have lots of players trying to snipe ur kills) wait till you spot your next target before killing all the turkey around u so you can spend a little time searching and then get extra time if you start running low.

Anyways good luck and happy hunting :D

EDIT:

Also for those who were wondering, you get a 'buff' - essentially a turkey counter that says how many you've killed and how much time is left until the 30 seconds runs out - once you've killed your 10 first turkeys!

Kommentar von carlbob

To make this achievement a lot easier to get, I used a combination of a macro and minimap target tracking.
To track targets on the minimap simply click on the magnifying glass on the minimap and make sure the box for Target is checked.
If you are using an addon that removes that minimap button, there should still be a way to access the tracking menu, refer to the webpage where you downloaded the addon, if you are not sure.

The macro I used:
#showtooltip Wild Turkey
/target Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7)

Kommentar von Nejosan

Extremely easy as a Hunter in Elwynn Forest. Just keep up and go through the zone, finding the Wilder Truthahn with Wildtiere aufspüren and killing them with whatever. The timer is 30 seconds between kills and it resets with every kill. The only possible way you could go wrong is with heavy competition.

Kommentar von matoh

If you are doing this achievement, don't bother looting the turkeys. It will significantly slow you down.

Kommentar von Scoobydeux

My macro:

/target Wild Turkey
/cast <toon's ranged attack>

You can stack ranged attacks for different toons, you'll only cast the one you know.

My macro currently has:

/target Wild Turkey
/cast arcane shot
/cast drain life
/cast arcane barrage
/cast Moonfire

This might help getting the achievement.
Pandarische Panflöte

Kommentar von tie571

Tried this several times and had others players take some of my planned kills. I recommend doing this on off peak times and I recommend the following.

Take your time, let the counter get down to ten before killing your next Turkey. (also helps respawn time so you can do this over a smaller area do to respawns)
Once you are near your current kill, look around to figure out where your next kill is going to be.
Loot each Turkey, this might also help respawns.

I really think planning out where your next kill is and taking your time will help get this achievement.

Good Luck

Very easy to do as a hunter, just turn on track beasts and your golden :)

Kommentar von RayNewland

40 Wild Turkeys in 30 Seconds. As an Enhancement Shaman, I don't have critter tracking, so I logged on at 4:30 a.m., macroed /target Wild Turkey /use Flame Shock, waited until I had fewer than 10 seconds remaining on the Turkey Kill Counter before attacking, looted with my Loot-A-Rang, mounted and sought out my next wild turkey. 169 Wild Turkeys in about an hour.

Kommentar von Ch1llp1llz

I have a few tips how I did it at the 2016:

1) Make a macro /target Wild

2) Eat Bear Tartare (if will give you speed buff after a kill, what is quite usefull for chain killing)

3) Don't use pets to kill it for you, sometimes it gives "Kill buff" to your pet insted of you.

4) Try to do it at the early morning, so you will avoid competition.

* I have done it like a Horde character at the Tirisfal Glades, best to start at the Graveyard and go on towards Undercity and than aim to Western Plaguelands, there you should have enough to get your 40 kill buff.

Kommentar von SollidBoundary

You can log out with time on your kill streak and when you log in you will still have it.

So if you see someone else killing, logging out will help
keep your kill streak.
I logged out in Goldshire.

Kommentar von yodatom10

Venomweb Vale was the golden spot for me.

Kommentar von TwoAngel

Can confirm "Tirisfal Glades => Cold Hearth Manor".

Stole the macro here from another older post longer down. Use that one to find turkeys. There will be plenty of time to even mount up from time to time to get to the turkey. U will need 40 turkeys slain in a rows without the timer going to zero. You have 30 secs between each turkey kioll ( I think it was 30)

The macro I used:
#showtooltip Wild Turkey
/target Wild Turkey
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7)

Good luck

Kommentar von Dervacus

Looking at the older comments, the Wild Turkey at one time may have been a critter, but I can confirm that they are in fact beast type and can be tracked with Hunter Tracking.

If you are using Hunter Tracking I would also recommend that you turn on Find Minerals and the like.

...And speaking of hunters, I will save you the trouble: they cannot be tamed.

Kommentar von Dinkie86

Just in case you have come here to find out how many is enough, it's 40.

Kommentar von Tukilo

Just did it outside Undercity just below Balnir Farmstead ~ /way 76, 70. Plenty of turkeys around. :)

Kommentar von thepita

There's a bunch of turkeys around Goldshire and near Northshire Abbey. I was able to get to 40 pretty fast.

Kommentar von AdenAndrews

They are all over Elwynn Forest. You get 30 seconds between each Turkey. 4 stages of 10, you need 40 in all. I started around Goldshire and went to the Eastvale Logging Camp area and made a huge loop since nobody was over there.

If you see someone already in the area, wait. You will not get enough in time and you will probably ruin their chance.

Kommentar von Zylideum

As of Dragonflight Patch 10.2 (2023), Wilder Truthahn appear in great quantities within the Ohn'ahran Plains. Wowhead doesn't currently show the NPC locations for the map, but I found that going to the plains around had many more turkeys than necessary for the achievement.
