Pilgrim's Bounty best time to skill up Cooking
As the title says. I managed to go from 1 in cooking all the way to 300 from the items you can buy from the Pilgrim's Bounty folk dirt cheap. once you can make the recipes for the quests to turn in, you can make around 40-60 of that one item to get you to the next recipe. do this on every toon, but make sure you do the quest chain also on each. don't make everything on one toon then pass it to each toon to turn in. the questchain tells you to turn in the item, but you also have to make it yourself. just did these once today, gonna try again tomorrow when dailies reset to see how many i gotta turn in. but typically you make 25 of each for two quests...1 quest tells you to prepare and turn in 5, another quest tells you to make 20 or have someone make them and you turn them in. if you haven't done this yet, you will have to go to 3 of the major cities for this. SW, IF, and Darn for alliance. I'm guessing since Ex wasn't required for this, I'm assuming that the BE city is not either for Horde. just the original 3 capitals from vanilla WoW. the toughest part will be the last leg where you gotta hunt and kill the Wild Turkeys. to make this process less painful. hit these areas at a low pop time, like me, i hit them up from after midnite to early in the morning. the Wild Turkey meat they drop is not BoP, so you can loot and pass around. the achievement requires you to kill 40 turkeys before the Turkey Tracker goes away, each kill resets the timer back to 30 seconds i think. you can't use this to track on your minimap, it only lets you know how many you've killed and for every 10 kills, has something pop up in the middle of the screen. like getting countless quick kills in Quake, Halo, etc...Till you get to 40. not sure if it keeps doing that after that point. to make it even easier, make a separate macro to target the turkeys. I made this one:
/target [nodead] Wild Turkey
now this shouldn't target any you've just killed or even the dead ones around you, unless there's no live ones within targeting range. haven't had this happen once i put that [nodead] part in, but some claimed it still targeted the dead ones. Not sure if they forgot to loot before hitting this, or if there just weren't any live ones around. best part I found was in Elwynn Forest to hit these up. Avoid the northern part of the road leading from Westfall to Redridge. I had a terrible time along that route. Not just cause of others, but cause the respawn rate is lower and they are spaced out more here as well. The lower part of the map below the road from the farm on the left to the farm on the right is your best bet. run, mash that macro, look around for yellow text in the distance, then grab'em before anyone else can. You do not get group credit for this, only the one that lands the killing blow gets the buff count. So, you'll have to do this one toon at a time. Atleast I am. what ever you target and attack with, make sure your slaves won't attack or do anything when you're goin after yours. I got to 36 before I found out it was 40 I needed when I screwed up and had one of my slaves make a kill just as someone else came from the opposite direction killing everything.
another thing, for those that don't know, the Master Cook trainer is in Hellfire Peninsula in your faction's major Inn there once you first get to Outland. Either Honor Hold or the one for Horde...sorry, not familiar with that one..I try to steer clear of it when I'm there.
