New Worlds Thanksgiving Event 2023 Rewards (Drops & Drop Rate)

During the Thanksgiving event, we will not only get rewards by killing the Turkey Terror boss, but also can get specific drops by hunting the regular turkeys in the game:

Turkulon Rewards:

By defeating Turkulon, players have the chance to loot the following special rewards:

• Grand Gobler Warhammer Skin (Weapon Skin, 1 per event, 20% drop rate) - A humongous fork with a piece of turkey on, it is outlandish

• Turkulon's Juicy Calves Box (Armor Skin, 1 per event, 20% drop rate) - Open this box to claim the skin, apply it for a Thanksgiving turkey-themed boot skin

• Massive Turkey Leg (Cooking Ingredient, 5 per day, 100% drop rate) - Used to craft Roasted Monstrous Turkey Dinner which grants Luck and Constitution.

• Feast-o-Plenty Food Trophy (Housing Item, 1 per event, 7% drop rate) - Grants extended food buff duration by 25%.

• Turkulon Egg Seat (Housing Item, 1 per week, 9% drop rate) - A giant dud egg for housing decoration.

• Turkuless, Disgruntled Fowl (Housing Item, 1 per event, 12% drop rate) - A fowl housing decoration.

These rewards have improved drop rates compared to last year's event. All drops are guaranteed after 16 Turkulon kills. So for example, if you have yet to receive the Feast-o-Plenty Food Trophy after 15 kills, then Turkulon is going to drop it on his next death or on the 16th kill. Similarly, if you have only received the trophy after 15 kills then loot from the following Turkulon kill or your 16th kill would include Turkulon Egg Seat, the Warhammer skin, and the boot skin rewards.

Regular Turkey Drops:

Regular turkeys throughout the Terror are going to have new drops in their drop tables:

• Turkulon's Claw (Skinning Knife, 1 per event, 20% drop rate) - Equip this skinning knife to skin turkeys to get extra loot (Poultry, Poultry Thigh, Poultry Breast) when skinning Turkeys, both during and after the event.

• Turkey's Treasures (Bag, 3 per day, 33% drop rate) - It's just a bag that contains some coin

• Diamond Gypsum (6 per day, 20% drop rate)

Turkulon's Claw Extrea Loots:

If you equip and utilize Turkulon's Claw when skinning normal turkeys during the event, you have a chance to receive the following:

• Infused Turkey Coating (5 per day, 15% drop rate) - Gives you a major damage boost towards Turkulon and a minor damage boost toward other beasts, but these will disappear after the event is over.

• Infused Turkey Ward Potions (5 per day, 15% drop rate) - Give you major damage absorption from Turkulon's attacks and then minor damage absorption from other beasts and this will also disappear after the event is over.

• Turkey Luck Potion (5 per day, 15% drop rate) - Increase the chance of receiving each Turkulon's drop by 5% for 5 minutes, these will also disappear after the event is over.

Giant Turkey Spawn Locations and Times

Turkulon spawns in multiple zones across Aeternum with only one giant turkey active per territory at a time. The turkey respawns about every 45 minutes and can appear in the following zones:

• Cutlass Keys

• Monarch's Bluffs

• First Light

• Windsward

• Everfall

• Restless Shore

• Mourningdale

• Brightwood

What happened last year with the spawns is that the turkey line did rotate throughout some of the zones, but ultimately those rotations changed throughout the event. We would expect something similar to happen this year, so we'll just have to keep an eye on those but if you want to see the specific locations of all the spawns, you can go check out the below map, we have all of the spawn locations listed there:

Turkulon Giant Turkey Hunting Buffs and Tips

Defeating Turkulon requires coordination and strategy. Here are some tips to improve your chances of success:

• Form a Group: Turkulon is a formidable boss, and it's recommended to team up with other players or join a group to take it down. Cooperation and communication are key to victory.

• Prepare Your Gear: Ensure that your equipment and weapons are upgraded and suitable for the encounter. Consider bringing items that boost your damage, defense, or healing capabilities.

• Focus on Turkulon: During the fight, prioritize attacking Turkulon to maximize your damage output. Coordinate with your group to unleash powerful abilities and combos.

• Watch for Turkulon's Attacks: Turkulon has unique attack patterns and abilities. Learn to anticipate its moves and dodge or block accordingly to avoid taking unnecessary damage.

• Utilize Consumables: Use the Infused Turkey Coating and Infused Turkey Ward Potion obtained from skinning turkeys to gain an advantage against Turkulon and other beasts.

• Keep an Eye on the Event Timer: The Thanksgiving Turkulon Event has a limited duration. Make sure to plan your hunting sessions accordingly and take advantage of the event while it lasts.

Best Turkulon Rewards & Loots To Get During Thanksgiving Event

Feast-o-Plenty Food Trophy - Also worthing to remind you, that the Feast-o-Plenty Food Trophy gives you a plus 25% duration for your food status effects, so if you don't get anything else from this event, we highly recommend you farm it out and at least get this trophy because it is very useful for your gameplay. Now this is limited to a maximum stack of one, so if you have acquired this in the previous event, we do not believe you're going to get this Trophy and be able to stack it in your house to increase the duration of that buff.

Massive Turkey Leg - Also worth talking about a little bit here is the turkey leg so the turkey leg is an artifact ingredient, so this means that there's a special recipe that you can craft only whenever you have that item in your backpack. So if you have a massive turkey leg in your bag you're going to be able to see the recipe for the Roasted monstrous turkey dinner, it's going to require zero cooking skill to craft the meal but you're going to have to be at a tier five cooking station in order to craft it. And you're going to have to have the Turkey Leg, 5 Potatoes, 3 Cooking Oil, 1 Parsley, 1 Sage, 1 Rosemary, and 1 Thyme, and then whenever you consume this it's going to increase your Constitution and your luck for a specified amount for 40 minutes depending on your character's level. So if you're trying to acquire some lucky food or want some additional luck in the game, then here you go you might want to farm out some of these turkey legs, they are limited to 5 per day, but you can get those and these could ultimately end up selling for a little bit as well. So they may be worth farming out the turkey every day just to get those mass of turkey legs.

Happy hunting! With preparation and persistence, survivors can cook up a hearty Thanksgiving feast with ingredients and decorations looted from the dreaded Turkulon. Avoid those eggs and reap the rewards.
