The harvest is in, and Britannia sits down to give thanks. Thanksgiving runs from November 7th at 09:00 UTC through December 5th at 09:00 UTC, and every activity on this page is open from the very first day. When earning ends, the Thanksgiving Market, the Pantry and any rewards you are owed stay open until December 19th at 09:00 UTC, so you have two more weeks to shop and collect.
Cranberries are the Thanksgiving currency. The activities below hand them out, and you spend them with the Market Steward at any Thanksgiving hub. See the item catalogue for the full list of what Cranberries (and gold) buy. Like every holiday currency, Cranberries never expire, and any you keep can be spent at future holiday events.
Most of Thanksgiving is shared. Every hub feeds one great Long Table for the whole shard, thanks are passed from player to player, and several rewards are counted per household – the accounts that play from the same computer or the same internet connection. Limits reset every day at 09:00 UTC.

How Thanksgiving works, where to find it and what you earn.
The Book of Thanks lists every Thanksgiving activity in one place, with a line on where to find it and how it works. It ticks off the ones you have tried, suggests something new, and rewards you for trying many different things rather than the same thing over and over.
The 28 activities in the book:
When earning ends on December 5th, the book stays readable but nothing new is added to it. Any milestone you reached but have not been paid for is still delivered when you log in, up to December 19th.
Thanksgiving hubs stand in Britain (on the Britain Bank plaza), Yew (on the open ground south-east of Yew’s main bank) and Moonglow (on the plaza just north of Moonglow Bank). Each one has a Long Table dressed for the harvest and three people to meet:
The Cornucopia Basket is a free gift from Autumna, once per account, any time up to December 19th. It holds a Turkey Leg, a Plump Turkey, 5 Thank-You Cards, two different kinds of produce and three random foods. Make sure you have room for about 60 stones in your pack before you claim it.
More Thank-You Cards: if you run short, Autumna hands out 3 more, once per household per day, until December 5th.
Thanksgiving is meant to be enjoyed a little every day, not ground out in one sitting. Every activity has its own daily limit for your household, and on top of those your household can earn at most 120 Cranberries a day across everything. Limits reset every day at 09:00 UTC, and you’ll get a message when you reach one, so you never fight for nothing without knowing it.
Per household per day:
Autumna’s Trail (10, once per account) does not count towards the 120. The Book of Thanks milestones and daily bonus are always paid in full. These pay no Cranberries at all: the Long Table, Table Requests, Say Grace, Supper Serenade, Take a Plate, seating a pet, the Hearth Pot, Thank a Player, Bottled Thanks, Pilgrim’s Larders, Harvest Crates, the Root Cellar, fishing finds, Harvest Bounty, taming a turkey, the Turkey Cannon, and the Pie Toss, Pie Fight and Pie Duels.
A household is every account that plays from the same computer or the same internet connection. The limits are there to keep the Cranberry economy healthy over four weeks, and they’re set so that a casual player who drops in for an evening and a dedicated player who’s on every day both have plenty to do and plenty to earn.
Fill the shard’s Long Table, follow Autumna’s trail, give thanks to other players and enjoy the comforts of the harvest.
Every Long Table in Britannia feeds one shared table for the whole shard. Bring food to any of them and it is counted towards the same total. Walk up to a table (within 8 tiles) and drop food on it, use Offer an Item, or press Offer what I can, which gathers suitable food from your pack and from your pack animals nearby. Plump Turkeys and Feast Plates are left out of it – drop those on the table one stack at a time.
| Food | Portions |
|---|---|
| Plump Turkey | 8 |
| Feast Plate (from a Hearth Pot) | 4 |
| Harvest Fish Pie | 4 |
| Wild Gourd, Cranberry Sprig or Maple Sap (Harvest Bounty) | 2 |
| Cooked food | 2 for a snack or refreshment, 3 for a meal, 5 for a feast |
| Produce (corn, squash, eggplant, pumpkin and the like) | 1 |
| A caught fish | 1 |
Starter food is politely refused. Each household can offer up to 120 portions a day, and up to 100 in a single offering. The table pays no Cranberries: its rewards are titles and a keepsake.
The Long Table window lists three requests each day: one crafted item (a Candle, Small Plate, Flat Round Basket, Wooden Bowl, Apron or Table Lantern), one kitchen item (an Apple Pie, a harvest fish or a fresh fish) and one garden item (a Pumpkin, Corn or a Potato). The first 3 of each requested item you offer count double, once per character per request each day, within your household’s 120-portion limit. Crafted items are only accepted while they are requested. Meeting one ticks Meet a Table Request in your book.
Open the Say Grace tab of the Long Table window and choose one of the six lines offered that day. Your grace joins the table’s ticker. At the top of the hour, if someone has said a new grace, the newest one is read out to the whole shard. Each household can say grace 3 times a day; the first of the day ticks your book.
Play a song successfully on any instrument within 8 tiles of a Long Table. You always tick your book and add a line to the ticker. If someone from another household is listening within 10 tiles, your song also adds 2 portions to the table (up to 6 portions per household a day, one credited song every 30 seconds).
Bring one of your own living tamed pets close to a Long Table and press Seat a pet. Your pet gets a mention on the ticker (costumed pets get a special line) and you tick your book. Seating a pet adds no portions.
Once the shard has laid the table (3,000 portions), you can take a plate from any Long Table. Stand within 8 tiles, open the Long Table window and press Take a Plate on the Table tab. The line above the buttons tells you if a plate is ready, how many portions the table still needs, or how long until your next one.
| Long Table | Health Regen | Stamina Regen |
|---|---|---|
| Laid (3,000 portions) | +0.05 | +0.2 |
| Full of warm dishes (9,000) | +0.1 | +0.3 |
| Set from end to end (19,000) | +0.1 | +0.4 |
Saturday, November 21st is Feast Saturday. If the shard has reached 9,000 portions by then, every Long Table burns with candlelight from 20:00 to 23:00 UTC. The Feast Saturday Raffle is drawn at 20:00 UTC the same evening: tickets cost 10 Raffle Tokens each from any Raffle Vendor, up to 10 tickets per account, and the prizes are a Packed Holiday Feast Table, a Pet Cage – Mrs Gobbles and an Autumn Potted Tree.
Talk to Autumna Leafwhisper and choose Autumna’s Trail to help her set the Long Table. She gives you a Plump Turkey and a Hearth Pot (unless you already have one), then asks you to thank three different town vendors with Thank-You Cards and bring her a Plump Turkey. If you run out of cards, ask her for a few more. Report back for 10 Cranberries, 5 Thank-You Cards and a tick in your book. The Trail is once per account, and its Cranberries do not count towards your daily limit.
The Hearth Pot cooks a feast without any skill. Double-click it with 1 Plump Turkey and 2 produce in your pack to start a batch, and after 30 minutes double-click it again to collect 3 Feast Plates. Each household can start 3 batches a day. A Feast Plate is a meal that gives you a little extra health and stamina regeneration for 30 minutes (paused while you are in PvP combat), or you can offer it at the Long Table for 4 portions. If you lose your pot, Autumna replaces it once per household per day. New batches can be started until December 5th, but a batch already cooking can always be collected.
Thank-You Cards come from the Cornucopia Basket (5), Autumna’s Trail (5), Autumna’s daily top-up (3) and the Welcome-Back gift (3).
Many Thanksgiving items do a little something extra. The bonuses are small and work against monsters only: they pause while you are in PvP combat and come back when it ends. The hats, house pieces, keepsakes and cornucopias keep working after Thanksgiving ends.
Wear one of these and gain +2 in a skill while it is on your head:
| Hat | Skill | Where from |
|---|---|---|
| Harvest Stag Antlers | +2 Tracking | Market Steward, 120 Cranberries |
| Harvest Peasant Hat | +2 Lumberjacking | Market Steward, 40 Cranberries |
| Golden Plume | +2 Animal Lore | Golden Gobbler; a chance from the Granary Ettin |
| Pilgrim Hat | +2 Cooking | Market Steward, 40 Cranberries, or a drop |
These work once they are set down in a house:
Stew, the Place Setting, the Centrepiece, a thanked player and the cornucopias below all give a harvest boon. You can have one at a time, and they never add together. The stronger one wins, from weakest to strongest: Thanked, Well Fed, Welcome Guest, Grace Said, Bounty of the Shore, Share the Bounty, Feast of Plenty. A new boon of a higher rank replaces the one you have. The same boon again only refreshes its timer. A weaker one does not replace a stronger one (“A stronger harvest boon is already with you”), but a once-a-day item still counts as used.
Four cornucopias have been brought out this year. Three of them share their boon with everyone near you: double-click one, in your pack or set down in a house, and every player within 8 tiles (you included) gets its boon for 30 minutes. Each cornucopia can be used once a day (ready again at 09:00 UTC). They are permanent and keep working after Thanksgiving ends.
| Cornucopia | Where from | Boon |
|---|---|---|
| Woven Wicker Cornucopia | Market Steward, 60 Cranberries; a rare find in Harvest Bundles | None, a house decoration |
| Gourd Shell Cornucopia | A rare catch in the Harvest Waters, from Fishing 60 (deep water and night-time help). It counts towards your household’s 3 rare finds a day | Bounty of the Shore: rare catches turn up 25% more often |
| Gilded Baroque Cornucopia | A 3% chance for every player who is paid for a Feast Order or Feast Raid boss kill, when no other keepsake dropped for them. It counts towards the 1 keepsake per household per day | Share the Bounty: +0.3 Health Regen and +0.6 Stamina Regen |
| Golden Cornucopia Horn Basket | Bring at least 250 portions to the Long Table on your account, and when the shard sets the table from end to end (19,000 portions) you receive one, once per account, at your next login (until December 19th) | Feast of Plenty: the Share the Bounty bonus plus +10% skill gain |
The Market Steward does not sell the Gourd Shell, Gilded Baroque or Golden Horn Basket.
Turkeys, harvest raiders, camps, paragons, the Feast Order bosses and the Feast Raid.
Wild turkeys roam the countryside around Ocllo, Skara Brae, Britain, Yew, Moonglow, Buccaneer’s Den, Minoc and Wind. Every wild turkey you kill pays 1 Cranberry, up to 20 per household per day. A turkey has a 30% chance to drop a Plump Turkey – the heart of the Long Table and the Hearth Pot – and a 25% chance to drop 1–3 Turkey Ammo for the Turkey Cannon. You can also buy Turkey Ammo from the Market Steward. Enraged turkeys still pay their Cranberry but drop no Plump Turkey or ammo.
Roughly one wild turkey in 150 calls out a golden Gobbler where it fell, and the whole shard hears “A golden Gobbler was seen near…” with the place. It is quick and slippery, charges with a telegraphed rush for heavy damage, and runs off after 20 minutes if nobody catches it. Only one can be about in a region at a time, and each household can call at most one a day. Everyone who helps bring it down earns 5 Cranberries, the title Gobbler Catcher and a tick in the book, and it always drops 2 Plump Turkeys. Each helper also receives the Golden Plume, a gold feathered hat, once per household per day. Each golden Gobbler also has a 5% chance to drop a Golden Lobed Pumpkin on its corpse, a rare house decoration.
Raiders have come for the harvest. Out in the open countryside around Yew, Minoc, Britain, Skara Brae, Wind, Moonglow (on Verity Isle), Vesper and Buccaneer’s Den – never inside the guarded towns, and busiest around Yew – you will find Harvest Wolves, Gleaner Harpies, swarms of Pantry Raider rats, Blight Husks that leave you bleeding, harvest foxes, Hoarder Bears, Pie Thief Imps and, now and then, the elite Thornback Alpha, a far tougher brute. They wander and move on within the hour, and new ones keep arriving.
Every kill ticks Defeat the Harvest’s Raiders in your book (the final blow, or your pet’s), and most raiders have about a 1 in 3 chance to drop a Cranberry. A Thornback Alpha has the same chance and pays 3 when it does, a Hoarder Bear usually pays 2, and Pantry Raider rats rarely pay at all. Raiders and camp creatures together pay up to 15 Cranberries per household per day. Their loot can include harvest produce, a Plump Turkey, and rarely a Pilgrim Hat, Thanksgiving Cloak or Pet Cage – Mrs Gobbles. If your pet makes the kill, it also ticks Hunt With Your Pet.
Hay bales (Harvest Bundles) and corn shocks (Small Hay Bales) stand in the fields. Smash one (within 3 tiles) a few times to break it open. When it breaks there is a good chance of harvest loot – corn, squash, pumpkin, eggplant, a Plump Turkey, apple pie, a few Cranberries, or rarely an Autumn Potted Tree or Pilgrim Hat – and about a 2 in 3 chance that raiders hiding inside leap out at you. Each household can take up to 40 finds, 10 Cranberries and 2 cosmetics a day from bundles; after that you can keep smashing, but only the ambushes are left. The loot can also be a Classic Orange Pumpkin or, much more rarely, a Blue Jarrahdale Pumpkin or a Woven Wicker Cornucopia, all house decorations.
Raiders have set up camps in the open country – look for scarecrows, fences and hay. Each camp has a band of raiders, a leader, a stash chest and something to do that needs no fighting at all.
While Thanksgiving runs, any wild monster may turn up as a Harvest Paragon, in autumn colours and with the title to match. About 1 in 20 monsters in the open world is a paragon, more often in dungeons (12%) and in the daily dungeon (15%). A paragon is bigger, has twice the health, hits harder and lands its blows more often. Everyone who helps defeat one ticks the book and earns 1–3 Cranberries depending on its strength, up to 30 per household per day. Paragons drop their usual paragon loot, with a chance at a Plump Turkey and, rarely, a Pilgrim Hat or Thanksgiving Cloak; the strongest ones give the best odds.
Autumna Leafwhisper pays bounties on the creatures threatening the feast. Choose Feast Order from her menu and pay the gold fee, and the creature is summoned on open ground near the hub, in sight of Autumna, marked Feast Order: with its name. Bring friends: each boss’s health grows as more players join the fight.
Fee: 500 gold. Time limit: 20 minutes. A shadow-wrapped tree that cannot be hurt while the shadow holds. A ring of lanterns stands around it (3 for one player, more for a group, up to 5). Use Light on them – they burn for 30 seconds solo or 22 seconds in a group – and once three are burning at the same time the shadow shatters. For 15 seconds solo (12 in a group) Old Hollow glows red and every hit lands three times as hard. If nobody manages it, the shadow breaks by itself after a while. Old Hollow also marks the ground under a player with a ring that strikes hard after a few seconds – step out of it. Drag the fight out and it starts to rage and hit harder.
Fee: 1,000 gold. Time limit: 25 minutes. A towering turkey, shielded until someone stuffs him. Take a Custard Pie from one of the pie baskets beside him (use Take a Pie; 2 baskets solo, 3 in a group) and throw it at him. A pie that hits opens a window of 15 seconds solo (10 in a group) in which every hit lands three times as hard. The baskets refill a short while after each window, and if nobody lands a pie the shield drops by itself eventually. At 75%, 50% and 25% health he calls a flock of enraged turkeys. He also marks the ground for a heavy strike, and a long fight makes him rage. A Turkey Cannon shot does extra damage to him.
Fee: 750 gold. Time limit: 20 minutes. A brute with no shield, but plenty of weight behind it. Watch for its Charge: it winds up, then rushes forward several tiles – dodge it and it stumbles, winded and stunned for a few seconds, and that is your moment to strike. Its Crushing Blow shows a ring first and hurts everyone close to it, and it marks the ground for a heavy strike too. A long fight makes it rage.
Fee: 750 gold. Time limit: 25 minutes. The old gravedigger is sealed behind his graves. Defeat the creatures carrying grave salt, pick the salt up and carry it to an open grave before it crumbles; seal enough graves and Old Marrow is exposed, taking much heavier hits for a short while. Salt carriers left alive make him stronger. Every so often he raises his spade over one of you – get out of the circle.
Every evening at 19:50 UTC, one of the Feast Order bosses raids a Thanksgiving hub, free of charge. There is no fee and no order to place: just be there and fight.

Rewards: everyone who deals at least 2% of the creature’s health is paid (your pets count for you), just as for a Feast Order of that boss: 6 Cranberries for Old Hollow, 10 for Mr Gobbles, 8 for the Granary Ettin and 8 for Old Marrow, the same portions for the Long Table in your name (4, 8, 6 and 6), the boss’s title once per account, a small chance at a keepsake, and a tick for Defeat a Feast Order Creature in your book. The shield and shadow bonuses of the bosses work as usual.
Fishing and sailing, gathering, crafting, taming and pie fights.
Four times a day, at 18:45, 20:45, 22:45 and 02:45 UTC, a harvest supply barge comes under attack in open water off the Ocllo shipyard, and the whole shard hears about it. Sail out and take it back: three barge raiders hold it, and once they fall, their chief arrives. Defeat the chief and the barge’s supply crate opens for 6 minutes to everyone who fought. Each household can claim 1 crate a day: it holds produce, a good chance at a Plump Turkey, a small chance at a Pilgrim Hat or Autumn Potted Tree, and 6–12 Cranberries. An unclaimed barge drifts off after 30 minutes.
Every hour, on the hour, two or three harvest crates drift in the open water off Ocllo and stay for 30 minutes. Sail up and haul one in from your boat (within 3 tiles) for a Plump Turkey and 3–5 harvest produce. Each household can haul in 3 crates a day. Crates pay no Cranberries. The shard is told when they arrive at 19:00, 21:00 and 01:00 UTC; at the other hours they arrive quietly.
Anyone with Fishing 30 or more can catch harvest fish anywhere: Maple Trout, Russet Carp, Cranberry Perch, and from Fishing 45 the rarer Harvest Eel. Most weigh between 3 and 12 stones, but a lucky few reach 20. Fishers can also pull up a Plump Turkey (from Fishing 50), a Harvest Relic (from 55) or a Harvest Lantern (from 70). Deep water and night-time both improve the odds of these rare finds, up to 3 per household per day. Fishing pays no Cranberries.
The Harvest Waters leaderboard keeps the ten heaviest harvest fish caught (each account’s best), and every Sunday at 18:00 UTC the shard hears who landed the week’s heaviest catch.
Custard Pies cost 2 Cranberries each from the Market Steward. A pie does no damage and never makes you a criminal or breaks your stealth. It reaches 10 tiles, takes a moment to throw, and you can throw one every 3 seconds (and at the same target every 10 seconds). If you would rather not be pied, use Toggle Pie Opt-Out on a pie: nobody can pie you, and you cannot pie anyone, until you toggle it back.
What closes when, and what you keep.
On December 5th at 09:00 UTC earning ends, as Christmas arrives. Activities stop paying Cranberries and ticking the Book of Thanks, the raiders, bundles, camps, larders and crates leave, and the Long Table becomes a plaque recording what the shard brought.
Until December 19th at 09:00 UTC:
A Hearth Pot batch you started before December 5th can be collected at any time, even after the event.
After December 19th the hubs are cleared away. The titles, keepsakes, pet costumes and the Turkey Cannon are yours to keep, and so are any Cranberries you have left: they never expire and can be spent at future holiday events.
