You can click an item and move the mouse. It depends what your mouse display is set on. Mines on single click.

Ditto. Either Olcher is just lying just to stur up problems or really just walked a couple screens and got tired of looking. And that means it is possible that one can spawn paragon.

And Apetul, the screenshot is fine. It doesn't have to be highlighted to show text. People usually don't highlight the item so we can see what color it is.

Look with all the work and the hollidays sneeking up on the Dev, I was just happy we got the Turkeys... not all of us got a bird last year or a harrow. (got the bird today!!) Enjoy it.
This time of year just enjoy the fun with your friends and murder the turkeys.
I Agree, Since they seldom doesn't go w/ the story line, I consider holiday events to just be a 'bonus', they're thrown in as a freebie. Maybe we're a bit spoiled to what we get/expect.
Turkey in-game & irl, I'm satisfied.

Yeah, that's exactly it. You got me kid.

I admit I am wrong, they do spawn, but the rest of you that said they pop out of champions or whatever are wrong also.
They replace the bosses. I don't know if they do this year but I know they did last, so I assume they do now.

wowsers the respawn rate in ilsh is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow

i went up there and there was 1, so i started killing birds.
another showed up after like 50 birds killed.
so i provoed one onto the other.
killed the one.
then no more giant gobblers.

so i went back to killing birds.
after over 200 birds killed and no giant turkeys i gave up and quit.

that is just crazy slow.
in fel i can usually get like 8 turkeys in a party provo'd and i can run around and pull in others as those die.

ill try again later, but my dreams of seeing a paragon turkey are dwindling.....

Ummmm I have not seen one but THINK for minute. IF champs can pop as a Turkey according to other thread then that Turkey would have a slight chance of being para would it not? Folks are too fast to all but call others liars these days.
I admit I am wrong, they do spawn, but the rest of you that said they pop out of champions or whatever are wrong also.
I was only posing this as a possible way for them to spawn in Ilsh and possibly as para. That is why I had the "IF" part in the second sentence. God (who has never struck me as someone to give incorrect info) had said turkeys were spawning as para, you had said you had done the leg work and went all over ilsh and not seen a single turkey, let alone a para one. I was only offering you a POSSIBLE scenario to check out if you wanted to was all. I would say the possibility I posed is incorrect, but no way of knowing for a fact at this time. After all, there were supposed to be fishing scrolls above 105, the harvest wine should have 2010, and when paragons first started champs were not supposed to be able to be paragons - Yet I remember a few Rikki's as para on Atlantic back then. You never know what unintended stuff happens around here :D

Spawn 1 on Pacific.
Drag para turkey to meer village, have 2 para meer and 4 others pounding on it. Discord turkey, provoke turkey onto para meer, took about half hour with 3 people.

Each of us got a map at the end...nothing else.

Summon EV caster got drag to turkey.
Ebolt caster got drag to turkey.
Archer got drag to turkey.

Provoke is probably the good way to kill it.

Thanks to others that drag meer over to turkey.

She has no idea. She wasn't there for the entire fight, just about the last 10%.
Must have skipped your post as I was skipping all the trolls here. But I got my answer, not that you were helping any. Thanks Kamiiyu22.

Has anyone gotten any turkeys to respawn after they initially spawn? I understand if they have long timers, but server up to server up? Or did I just happen to miss them spawn and someone killed them?

Apparently anywhere a bird can spawn, so can a turkey. In the woods northeast of meer village, there is a pixie spawn where lots of birds spawn as well. Run around and kill all of the birds until a turkey pops. I was one of the 3 people on Pacific (mentioned above) who took one down. No one got a talisman.

If this talisman is real, I am wondering if it is just an uber rare drop he happened to get from a paragon. Remember Inavlis Bardiche from the ophidian invasion in 2006? I think the odds were near the same as moonstone jewelry. It would be weird for developers to code in a special drop only for paragon turkeys, imo anyway.

Or maybe its a paragon drop you can get from any paragon. We really need confirmation of another drop.

Myself and 3 others hit the spawn this morning on LS. there were 5 normal turkeys and one Para Turkey. We killed the para first and only got maps and frags. Killed the other turkeys and still only maps and frags... No Tali..

Last night a group did a para and no one got a tali then either...

Still up in the air as to how this talisman is obtained if obtained at all...

This is what I thought too till I killed like a half million birds. But I did kill 2 paragons, each time same type of spawning. 4 normal turkeys and 1 paragon, after those were dead nothing. Granted I did not try as long this morning as I did yesterday but was not that enthused about spending hours of killing the 6 birds that spawn there just for nothing to happen.

I truely have a hard time believing that out of all these people in UO that only 1 person has received this item. Me and my guild killed a Paragon Turkey and received only a Violet Courage :(. If anyone else has pics or proof can we see it please?

A very small portion of UO's player base uses the stratics forum.

The person who posted the pic has no reason to lie. Based on his posting history, there is no reason to believe he would be dishonest about the talisman.

The gold harp is "An Ancient Lyre Resembling A Coiled Serpent." I just know because a friend has one. Some event item (not old) tho i have no idea what event, or how many there are.

Anyone know how hard the para turkeys hit for? I can kill the regular ones with not too much trouble on my sampire (i dont have a bard)

Me and guildies killed literally hundreds of turkeys and 5 paragon turkey's (including the one kylie kinslayer ran in on and posted a pic of), no talisman.

Also talked to a few other guilds on other shards that have been killing the turkeys. Not one talisman either.

I think it's fake/nonexistent. From all of the people/guilds I've talked too there were literally thousands upon thousands of turkeys killed including paragons on several different shards and nobody received one. Yet Rayden/Lord God received one within the first day and is the only person to get one. Yea....right.

I agree Atlantic Smith....it's a bunch of Shennagins.

If they didn't even bother to change the 2009 to 2010...you think they went to the trouble of creating a new Talisman.

Right off the bat with just 2 mods on it that Talisman looks very odd.

Yepp, I usually show lots of respect to people that are on a guild hunt or killing anything in all honesty, and hardly ever jump a kill. But there is one guild tag in paticular that always seems to jump every renowned they come close to. With turnabout being fairplay, I will jump in on every kill when I see that guild tag flying. Had it not been for that tag flying all around the para turkey I would have just taken a screenie to post for those wanting to know via a pic that they actually existed, and moved along. I did enjoy the walls of stone tho, it was fun evading those until I found a spot where they could not be cast :)


p.s. That tag learns to show respect for my kills I will in kind return the favor :)

Best thing about this whole thread was the EA people I saw lurking in it but not posting. I wonder if they laughed or went looking in the code to see what this thing was....Pity though it would have been nice to have something new to hunt for even if it was as rare as moonstone items.

Well played sir.

Well if there's one thing we can take from this thread, it's that the stratics sheep will believe anything... and damn do they get defensive at times!
And a lot more often "trollish" and offensive wouldn't you say?

This whole event reminds me of the moonstone jewelry event. Based on so little, again, people believed it right off. Don't remember anyone claiming it to be a hoax, attacking the person who claimed it to be real despite no one else finding it. And all that long before it was admitted to actually exist by the devs.

The picture is fake.
From the picture, it looks like you highlighted a wine then 'shopped it. It's funny, because as far as bards go, Poo and you are pretty much undisputed. If your picture was more believable then I don't think anyone would know the truth, even after you admitted to the fake. I'm sure some will continue to look for paragons just in case. I guess this fake means you are no longer credible, though :). LOL just looked at pic and it is even called harvestw.jpg



To address a real concern regarding turkeys, you can get turkey-based drops from Champs turned into turkeys. Friend got a cornucopia from one.

But the new jewellery pieces from the gypsy camps were on the Publish notes:

Publish 65 Notes
...
The gypsies and their treasure chests now occasionally spawn with enhanced loot. (Reagents, Gems, Checks or new jewelry pieces)
Also, devs admitted that something rare exists while it was on TC1 before it was released to the shards.

There is something new in the loot list for Gypsy camps that is very rare. I'd be surprised if anyone finds one on Test Center before the publish is rolled out. But, who knows?

Good luck!
The check is pretty rare, but the items in question are quite a bit rarer than that.

Before everyone starts building high expectations, let me just say that the new items are cosmetic only, with no useful game effect. They are rare and hard to come by, and do something not seen in the game before, but that's it.
And also, it is found roughly two months after the Publish. Trevelyan also confirmed the drop and even said LeBaiton was wearing a luck suit at the time.

Anyone know how hard the para turkeys hit for?
They hit a good deal harder than normal ones. I had a thrown together suit with resists 65+. Normal ones hit me for around 40 range at best the para one hit for on average 50-60. They also on a few occasions hit for 108. Also on occasion it got off a fast combo that hit for 55 and 65 that both hit instantly. Seeing as how that char only carries 105 hp's atm, I saw lots of grey screens :)

Challenging fight. Even with another player (thx Candy) disco'ing the thing I was still only hitting it for 70 range at best (EoO, CW, primer, slayer long bow or regular bow)

You can always ask the person I sold the bracelet to if Moonstone jewelry is real ;)

The turkey's are still all over the place on Sonoma. I had three around my house at the Brit moongate. I was casting blade spirits with my new mage from the roof and one teleported me to it, from my roof, and I got an instant black screen.
