WotLK Beta: Turkey Hunt - 2008-08-06 19:07:36
<<< Previous - WotLK Beta: Help Track Down These Locations! | Next - Pop Cultural Reference on Azuremyst: Adamant and Depeche Mode >>>

Here's a brief lil episode from our house to give you an idea of what it's like to play Wow while someone in the same room is playing the Beta. Husband tells me I really have to come look at the turkeys in game. I scoff, and keep killing whatever it was I was killing in "normal Wow." He explains turkeys turn into nice dinners. I scoff again. But dammit, now I'm curious. I finally go look at his screen, after putting my character someplace safe. (This is going to get me killed sometime soon, I can tell.)

WOTLK Beta Turkey!


Ok, I need to stop with the doubting, I realize this.

Once you kill the turkey - a level 4 or 5 critter, not much of a challenge - it does indeed turn into a nice dinner:

WOTLK Beta:  Dead Turkey


Of course, it only looks like dinner. I don't think you can actually pick it up or eat it. I'm not sure if this is part of a quest or not - husband didn't find out yet. Location is Valgarde, which I've learned (thanks to WowWiki info!) is in Howling Fjord.

Since Turkeys are not on the list of beasties that are tamable...alas, no giant level 80 turkey pet will be attacking you in pvp. Which you have to admit would be amusing.

Ahhh nice one... must add this to my list of wanted Mage "pets"

There's something so fun about the polymorph being a bonus pet. It always makes me want to run go play my mage - until I remember how badly I suck at magey-ness. Ah well, at least I know mages that let me hang around them and enjoy the polymorph thing.

There should totally be a holiday bonus poly spell for that turkey.

And damn that turtle poly for being such a pain to get!

The Turkeys are actually there for an acheivement called 'Friend or Fowl?' I tried to do it in Valgarde but couldn't do it on my hunter with Aspect of cheetah and shooting them. I did however find a Camp West of the Explorer's League Outpost that has oodles of turkeys to shoot. No extra Acheivement for doing it On Thanksgiving though...An Easter Egg (I think) for completeing this acheivement was a bunch of angry turkeys spawn and start attacking you...Much like in the Zelda series when you continuously attack a chicken it'll send the calvary after you, hehe.

Thanks for the reminder - I really need to blog about this, the Curse of the Turkey Killer is really too funny! Luckily the animal hatred goes away if you relog.
