It doesn't require a lvl so you can ask a friend to make a rogue character

Comment by Flick

Turkey Lurkey is one of several animal characters with silly rhyming names in the children's fable "Chicken Little" (a.k.a. "Chicken Licken", or "The Sky is Falling").

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sky_Is_Falling_(fable)

"Turkey Lurkey Time" is also the name of a song-and-dance from an unrelated musical.

:( Why all the Rogue hate?

Comment by QFred

Why would there be any rogue love?

Comment by Heliotrope

Call it hate if you want... but my Rogue will very much enjoy the free turkey dinners.

Comment by 27699

So my only question, where do i find this turkey shooter ? or the quest that gives it

Comment by 415241

Last i checked the only rogues that are able to be created are night elf on the alliance not sure what they are on the horde so this one may be a little tricky unless the expantion is coming out before then.

Comment by 333727

Ugh, I hope you can just get a friend to roll a ton of rogues, or this will be one achievement I'm not getting. Thank god Pilgrim isn't needed for the meta-achievement.

"Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting rogues with my turkey gun.... THERE'S ONE NOW! SHOOT! Dalaran will smell atrocious after a few hours

Comment by 487242

With everyone talking about battlegrounds, I'm a little confused. Isn't it possible to just find the rogues in Dalaran or any other city and blast them there - much like the past holiday race/class combo achievements?

Or do you have to be in a battleground?

There's an easy, yet tedious way to get this achievement. You either need a friend or 2 WoW accounts. Now that Blizzard let us create a horde and an alliance on the same server, you can have either your friend or yourself (2nd account) create a rogue for every race you need. Then the tedious part would be getting to the start up areas of every race. After you shoot that race, delete the character and make a new one. At least you can get the achievement done without hours of BGs or hunting endlessly in Dalaran. I have 2 accounts, so I'm going to do just that.

Comment by barbeque

At the moment, the Turkey Shooter is a reward from the daily quests.

Unfortunately, it is expendable with only a single charge. Prepare to do the dailies for a few more days to get enough shooters to shoot all those rogues.

The daily quests each give out either a piece of clothing, or a shooter. Assuming you take up 2 pieces of clothing for the Sethekk Halls achievement, you will need to do at least 2 days of dailies to complete the meta.

Comment by 199400

I can confirm that using the shooter deletes the item itself, meaning you only have 1 charge. And if you use it on someone already with the buff, it has no effect whatsoever, so you lose a charge and you'll need to complete another daily for another shooter. For low populated servers it's going to be fine doing this achievement with people in the same faction as yours, but to shoot the opposite faction it may be quite hard to find someone without the buff already, and you may have to resort to BGs.

Comment by taurenmoo812

I really wish blizzard wouldn't make something like this part of the mecha achievement.

Some rules you must be aware of:

1 - you cannot get credit for shooting a rogue if he is already with the turkey buff

2 - Do not shoot a rogue on a Hog, they turn into a turkey well on the bike but you don't get credit for it. I'm assuming this applys to all vehicle based mounts.

Comment by eelyshabai

You DO get credit if the rogue is mounted, but not if they are on a vehicle (ie. Hog)

Comment by Shihamut

Will not work under any shapeshifting circumstance. Don't bother wasting your shooters to try.

Comment by 488240

Make sure to target a rogue who doesn't already have the turkey buff! Else you're charge will get wasted but you will not get credit for it.

Comment by 2OfDiamonds

I just got credit for 'feathering' a blood-elf rogue that was riding a hog, she was the driver so maybe there is a difference between drivers and passengers - but i can confirm that it works on the driver.

Comment by 270739

It is possible to use the gun used for getting this achievement on rouges eating at banquet tables. (FYI the buff is dispellable so a good rouge should stop whatever hinders their stealth asap)

Comment by kasuturo

I can confirm that it does take them out of stealth. Just did it to an Undead Rogue in Orgrimmar.

Other things to have into account:

Rogues can attack while "turkeyed" (tested the hard way... the same Turkey Undead Rogue shadowstepped on me).
If you cast the Shooter to a Rogue and they stealth in the middle of your casting, you will shoot, break their stealth, turn them into a turkey and get the credit for the achievement.
There are no level restrictions. You can even ask a friend to create rogues of the opposite faction and turn them on Lvl1 Rogue Turkeys at their starting areas. Not ethically the right thing to do but it works if you are desperate, if you can't go to Dalaran yet or if battlegrounds are infested with Undead or Night Elf Rogues.
It is easy to see if a Rogue has been recently affected by this because... well... they will look like turkeys. But Rogues can demorph by mounting or *using some spells and/or items that allow them to change their physical form (like, for example, an Orb of Deception). Demorphing, though, does not remove the debuff, so double-check before trying to hit them.
If you get the achievement and still have some charges of the Shooter after (highly doubt so, but anyway) you can use it on any character to turn them into turkeys. It is not restricted to rogues. If you do not have the achievement, don't waste your ammo! Get the Rogues first!
You can complete all the five Pimgrim's Bounty daily quests needed to complete Pilgrim's Progress everyday. That allows you to get five Shooters a day. Use them wisely.
If you shoot it at a Rogue in Orgrimmar, people get angry. A lot.
Yeah, we all hate rogues.

EDIT: Spelling (I guess...) and Farfetch's note.

* I still have to check up on this, but if Turkey Rogues can attack and use abilities, I guess they can use items too. If I'm wrong don't rate down but comment and I'll edit.

Comment by phantomeagle

I don't understand the complaining here myself. Just park yourself outside the specific Alliance or Horde area in Dalaran. You'll always find every race and class there, if you just wait. When I got Love Fool on two Characters I just sat at the door to Ledgermain and waited for the Hordies to come by and hit them. I'll do the same with the Rogues I need here.

Comment by oedura

You have to shoot rogues with a one shot gun that you get from the daily quests. If you shoot a rogue that's already been shot, it doesn't count.

Also, for some reason, they made the turkey "buff" last an ENTIRE HOUR.

I foresee many, many rogues in major cities, happily waddling about in turkey form for the entire hour and driving people crazy in the process.

Comment by 233332

Confirmed that you DO get credit for shooting a rogue that is on a flying mount, even though there is no visual effect. Also, while the gun does have a range restriction, as long as you start the "cast" while the rogue is in range, you're good, even if he moves out of range while you're casting.

Not a hard achievement, really. Hang out in Dalaran during high-traffic periods and you will find plenty of rogues. If you see one that already has the buff, follow him around until he clicks it off (getting on a flying mount removes it, as does taking any offensive action, whether it hits anyone or not).

Comment by 170395

I could see this achievement being easily completed by anyone with multiple accounts seeing as it doesn't have a level requirement listed. I'll test this myself and update this comment later once I get another shooter.

Update: Just tested this and it seems to work on a rogue of any level. If you don't have another account just ask a friend to make alts then blast them. Easy achievement.

Comment by 315792

Quite easy to do outside the BG's. Just do a '/who rogue gnome' and you can see where they are.... Make a /tar macro for that char and find him/her (or you could even ask them to group to find them) and poof!

Also in Dalaran I noticed some kind rogues just standing there waiting to be feathered.... Got 3 of the Horde rogues in Dala that way. For the Orc Rogue I asked a friend to create one.

Comment by serenityrick

You can make a character of the opposing faction on PvP servers now so if you're frustrated you can make one yourself, run him to where your main is and then alt-f4. Log on your main as quick as possible and there's a chance he'll still be standing there for you to shoot.

Comment by 235214

Just 1 point to add to this, if you shoot someone who is already debuffed (e.g. someone casts it the second before yours lands) they you lose the shooter and do not get credit for this.

Comment by gardogg

DO NOT use it against rogues who have already been turkey feathered (you target them and see a turkey head). You will not get credit and will lose your turkey shooter!

Comment by 401476

Classist...

Comment by Rodos

I shot a human rogue outside Ironforge and did not receive credit. The rogue was not a turkey, and had no visible turkey buff. They were in the process of cooking some holiday food, and turned back into human form immediately.

Conclusion: Don't shoot a rogue with an active cast bar.

Comment by harro1

/who doesn't work if you're searching for rogues in the opposite faction.

Comment by olania

And if you shoot at someone at the same time as someone else - there's about a 1000% chance they'll get credit, and you'll be screwed out of a shooter.

Same guy boned me two days in a row, first shooting a Gnome and then an Orc.

Comment by Katrana

Tracking down certain alliance races (particularly dwarves) can be a real pain if you're trying to do this achievement.

A good place to spot rogues is the Alliance WG portal area in Dalaran. It's ideal for a number of reasons. For one, there's no horde there, so no competition since Alliance can mark gnomes or dwarves much more easily in Ironforge. Additionally, on most realms, Alliance starts gathering here prior to a WG game (5-10 minutes, your mileage may vary).

Since Horde isn't allowed inside the Silver Enclave, we'll have to be creative. You can fly in through the top, and land on the ledge atop the entryway of the WG room. This screenshot should clarify things:

Vantage Point in the Silver Enclave

You can move around freely on the ledge and reach almost all Alliance targets, even if they run up the stairs on either side.

I hope this helps you tag that elusive Dwarf Rogue, and good hunting!

Comment by Seana

The Turkey Shooter can not be used in combat. In case you decide to barrel into the horde zerg in AV to get a troll rogue. It happens.

Comment by 488684

Can anyone verify if there is a hidden level limit to this? If I hit a level 1 rogue, would it count?

Comment by VOxPERENOLDE

I think one reason they even have this in there is to balance out the advantage rogues have in doing Pilgrim's Peril

Comment by Bikkin

Level 1 rogues do count. I completed this achievement by making my own level 1 rogues on a second account.

Comment by Grikota

I came across an Orc Rogue this morning that was intentionally staying in "Turkey Mode" because he was tired of getting constantly popped with the gun. Luckily, when I asked nicely he dropped the Buff and let me re-turkey-fy him so I can work on the achievement.

Generally, if you are polite and ask other players nicely they will almost always help you out (barring cross faction)

Comment by Ronny

If you are having trouble finding rogues of opposing faction and you have that spirit of the hunt (i.e. you won't ask someone to create a rogue for you - you don't need anyone's help!), you can use this strategy:

Log on to your char of opposing faction (or make one);
I had a dwarf
Go to the "Who" list in "Social" tab, and type c-rogue r-;
As for me - c-rogue r-gnome
Check where is the rogue with the most convenient position;
I found one in Hellfire Peninsula
(Optional) Invite him to your group to see his position on the map, then say sorry and quit;
My target was near Zeth'Gor
Log in on your main and go hunting! You are lucky if your target was in Dala or Shatt, but if not - that's more hunting fun, isn't it?

Or you can just stick near Silver Enclave/Sunreaver Sanctuary, yeah, that'll work too.

Comment by Moonbear

You can use the who list to find rogues.
For instance if you still need a dwarf rogue, type: "/who dwarf rogue"
This only works if they are in your faction though. So unfortunately you can't find orc rogues this way if you're alliance.

Comment by Chromell

Now that u can create characters of both factions in PvP servers all you gotta do is get a friend/guildie to make a rogue of the needed race(s) and wait for you to go there and shoot him/her with the feathers. It may take a while if you don't have a convenient flight path, a mage to port or a lock to summon you but at least it guarantees you get the achievement, it just takes patience, like The Turkinator ;]

Comment by 22686

For all the rogues out there, if you feel like being nice (unlikely!) you can use this lil' script to clear the turkey buff as soon as you get it, as to ease the achievability of this achievement for other people. Not that you'd want to be a turkey anyway...

~~/run local n,f="Turkey Feathers",CreateFrame("Frame") f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function() if not(UnitAura("player",n)==nil) then CancelUnitBuff("player",n) end end )~~

Just copy that and run it once through your chat box. Or make a macro.

edit: Doesn't work anymore :p (CancelUnitBuff() is protected)

Comment by 264267

The Turkey Shooter can be obtained by selecting it as the reward from any of the daily quests for this holiday. It can be used in any area at all, with the restrictions mentioned by others above:

(a) if the target is already a turkey, you won't get "credit" for it, and will "waste" the shot
(b) it cannot be used in combat
(c) if your target can stealth, and they do so after you target them and start casting (or are stealthed when you target them and start casting) it will knock them out of stealth, but will not prevent them from attacking you as a turkey

It can be used anywhere that you have the opportunity to use it, otherwise: bg's, out in the world, Dalaran, Tournament Grounds, wherever you like.

Note: It has a long (2-3 second) cast time, and a fairly good range, but the cast time is long enough for mounted enemies to get out of your range (this won't waste a charge, but could mean you lose your prey).

Comment by 64664

It also doesnt count if you shoot someone in Dalaran who's on the Horde or Alliance restricted area.
For example. I'm a human, then I can't shoot someone horde rogue who's in Sunreavers Sanctuary, eventhough when he's in line of sight.

Comment by 479863

Just out of curiosity, why are you doing if not(UnitAura("player",n)==nil) then instead of if UnitAura("player", n) != nil then ?
...Or if lua doesn't have a != operator, if UnitAura("player", n) <> nil then ..?

Comment by 360829

So far, the only way I've found to avoid being Lurkeyed is to be on your flying mount.

Savory Deviate and Noggenfogger simply get written over.

Comment by 462527

I made an alt a trial account to help with this achievement (dwarf rogue in this case), but it would not give me credit for shooting it. It didn't have afk status, and it hadn't already been turkified. Anyone else having this issue?

Comment by zaber

If the Turkey Lurkey achievement is a pain, I have a two word suggestion for you...

Trial Account!

Create a trial acct, roll rogues for the races you are missing, go to their starting area, log onto both accounts (simply run two copies of WoW on the same computer), and zap the "trial" rogue. Might take a bit to get to each race's starting location, but it might be easier and faster than trying to find a non-turkeyized rogue for some of the races.

I did this, but actually ran the alliance rogues on the trial account all the way to Orgrimmar. Yeah, it took a while (about 3 hrs to get 4 different races to Org), but I used them to get the achievement on all of my toons. After I was done, I mentioned in the Trade Channel that I had Alliance rogues of several races parked outside Org in case anyone else needed to complete their achievement. I just did this to be nice, but without even asking for it, I was given over 300g in tips. I guess you'd call that karma. :-P

Comment by 46825

Obvious tribute to Hey Arnold!

Comment by 248492

If you have the "buff", like any other buff, you can right-click it off. Been doing this on my (human) rogue in Dalaran.

Comment by 321609

On the contrary to 90% of the comments here, trying to shoot a rogue who already has the buff will pop up the error "You can't do that yet" and not consume a shooter. I found this out earlier when trying to blast a human rogue who, well, already had the buff.

Comment by 156237

I think this was the hardest of them all. To get the blasters and then find the rouges. I made a friend to make the dwarf and gnome rouge. So i cheated :P

Comment by Sinferno

For the first and last time ever, I was actually glad to see an undead rogue. Was quite surreal.

Comment by unfriendly

Can rogues still be shot if holiday is over, but you still got the turkey shooters?

Comment by Allakhazam

Hope this helps you guys:

Comment by aprilmyriad

As of 11-23-22, it seems that the achievement is not visually updating for some people until you switch zones.

Comment by Kevenatecor

I Just want people to know that you still get credit if you miss.

I missed my shot on a Blood Elf Rogue, and a Troll Rogue. I still got credit for the achievement (even though it was grey)
