2009 and 2010 Thanksgiving event

The 2009 Thanksgiving event was released on 23 November 2009 for both Members and Non-Members. Players can start the event by talking to the Cook's brother in the Lumbridge Castle's kitchen. The event was added to the knowledge base before it was officially released in-game. 

You begin by talking to the Cook's Brother who will tell you that turkeys have formed an army and grown huge due to been given some kind of special food.

Cook's brother shall then teleport you to the turkey field north of Lumbridge (next to the Windmill) and give you a "Fabled Gravy of Turkey Slaying taken form from the Gravy Boat of Saradomin" which he had hoped to saved for turkey apocalypse.

Once you enter the field with the turkeys, you have to kill all ten Level 138 turkeys. Due to the effects of the potion, you can hit up to 199 damage on the turkeys and almost never take damage, regardless of your stats or equipment. No experience is given for damaging the turkeys.

Once the turkeys have been defeated, you will be whisked back to Lumbridge and will receive the Event reward.



Jagex Moderators have confirmed that there will be a second part to the Thanksgiving event. 

Reward

 * The Give Thanks emote. and a pet turkey

Trivia

 * Many players upon completion of this event were very unhappy with the reward as most already had the Thanksgiving Emote from the previous 2008 Thanksgiving event.


 * At the time of its release, over half of the active users on the Runescape Forums were in the Recent Updates section, and a large proportion of those were ranting about the poor quality (in their view) of the event.


 * The effects of hitting extremely high amounts of damage during this event is similar to the effects when fighting Angry creatures during A Soul's Bane and the Tormented demons during While Guthix Sleeps.


 * Whilst fighting Giant Turkeys Cook's Brother will shout out something like; 'Mop up the gravy!'.'In your face, turkey!' or 'Gibbering giblets!', every time you kill one of the turkeys.


 * Oddly, players cannot pick up the Raw turkey the turkeys drop. The Cook's brother stated that they he and the player can worry about it later, but after the event is over the Raw turkey is not there.
