WoW Pilgrim's Bounty 2026 Guide: Dates, Dailies, the Pilgrim Title and Plump Turkey Pet

Pilgrim's Bounty, World of Warcraft's Thanksgiving-style feast, runs from Sunday, November 22 to Sunday, November 29, 2026, according to both Wowhead and Warcraft Wiki. It is one of the shortest holidays of the year – just one week – but it hides a title, a battle pet, a toy and a full set of pilgrim transmog, and it is still the cheapest way to level Classic-era cooking.

This guide covers how to start, the five dailies, every achievement for the Pilgrim meta-achievement and how to plan your week so you don't run out of days.

Quick Facts

What's New This Year

Neither Blizzard nor the major databases list new Pilgrim's Bounty rewards for 2026 yet, so expect the same holiday as last year. The most recent additions came in 2025: four Bountiful Backpacks (green, orange, purple and white) that can drop from the daily reward satchel. If you want a turkey mount, it isn't part of the holiday itself – this month's Trading Post has the Aubergine Warturkey for 500 Trader's Tender, together with chef and baker ensembles that fit the theme.

How to Start Pilgrim's Bounty

1. Go to a Bountiful Table. You'll find one outside each faction capital (Stormwind, Ironforge, Exodar and Darnassus for the Alliance; Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Undercity and Silvermoon for the Horde) and at neutral hubs such as Valdrakken and Dornogal.
2. Buy the Bountiful Cookbook from the Pilgrim's Bounty vendor next to the table. It teaches the five holiday recipes.
3. Learn Classic cooking if you haven't. The recipes use the old cooking skill, starting at 1 for Spice Bread Stuffing.
4. Buy ingredients from the seasonal vendors, and hunt Wild Turkeys in the starting zones for meat.
5. Cook and turn in. Once your skill allows it, pick up the dailies around the tables.

The Five Recipes and Skill Requirements

Warcraft Wiki lists Pilgrim's Bounty as an easy way to level cooking up to about 350, because the holiday dishes stay useful for a long time and the ingredients are cheap. Start with stuffing, then move up the list as recipes turn yellow and green.

The Five Dailies and Their Rewards

Each daily asks you to deliver 20 of one dish:

• "We're Out of Cranberry Chutney Again?"
• "She Says Potato"
• "Don't Forget The Stuffing!"
• "Can't Get Enough Turkey"
• "Easy As Pie"

For each one you pick one reward: a piece of pilgrim transmog (Pilgrim's Hat, Attire, Dress, Robe or Boots) or the Pilgrim's Bounty satchel. The satchel has a small chance at the Silver-Plated Turkey Shooter toy, the Frightened Bush Chicken pet, the Fine Pilgrim's Hat and the Bountiful Backpacks. Turkey Shooters for the achievement below also come from these rewards.

The holiday quest chain that starts with Spice Bread Stuffing ends with the Turkey Caller, which summons a Lonely Turkey every two minutes.

The Pilgrim Achievement: All Nine Steps

Finish all nine for the title the Pilgrim and the Plump Turkey battle pet.

Spirit of Sharing: sit at a table and eat five helpings of all five foods. The buff gives +10% reputation for one hour, and you need it in every faction capital for Pilgrim's Paunch.

A Simple One-Week Plan

1. Day 1: buy the cookbook, cook one of each dish (Now We're Cookin'), and do every daily your cooking skill allows. Take the hat and a robe, dress or attire first – you need them for two achievements.
2. Day 1–2: do FOOD FIGHT! and Sharing is Caring at any table, then tour your faction's capitals for Pilgrim's Paunch.
3. Day 2: run Sethekk Halls in your pilgrim outfit for Terokkar Turkey Time, then sneak to enemy capitals for Pilgrim's Peril.
4. Day 3–7: take satchels and Turkey Shooters from the dailies and hunt rogues for Turkey Lurkey.
5. Any time: farm Wild Turkeys for The Turkinator.

Tips and Common Mistakes

• Don't miss a day. With only eight days, dailies are your only source of Turkey Shooters and satchel rolls.
• Turkey Caller turkeys don't count for The Turkinator – kill Wild Turkeys in the open world.
• Turkey Lurkey is the slow one. Each shooter is used up on a hit, and Wowhead suggests about ten extra dailies' worth after you collect the transmog. Ask rogues at the tables – many players help each other during the event.
• Pilgrim's Peril needs the outfit equipped. Sitting at enemy tables without the dress, robe or attire doesn't count.

Pilgrim's Bounty starts on November 22 – have your cooking ready and you can finish the title in two or three evenings.
