Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear. There be a grand spectacle in the North American colonies they call the Special Thanksgiving Festival. 'Tis a monthly bounty, though the date can shift like the wind if other captains stir up trouble with their own events. When the bell tolls eight in the eve by the server's clock, the feast begins and lasts a full four days. Mark this well.
The Plunder & The Perks
Why risk the crossing? The rewards be worthy of a king's ransom, I tell ye!
- A King's Ransom in Experience: A savvy adventurer can haul in near 200,000 XP for their logbook with the right methods.
- Railways at Full Steam: All them land-lubber rail companies offer their top-tier benefits for the duration.
- Exclusive Crafting Recipes: The Travellers in key ports offer rare schematics for powerful gear—stock up to sell for a pretty penny later.

- Bonus Doubloons for Research: Turn in your discoveries in a town linked by rail and ye get a fat 20% extra credit.
Knowing When to Sail
The schedule be a fickle thing, predicted by clever souls but changed by the actions of players and the powers that be. To know for certain if the festival be on, buy a barkeep a drink and listen close. If he grumbles about North American towns being "mighty crowded," then the time is now! Else, it's not. A simpler test: try to invest in the railway at Omaha. If the clerk turns ye away muttering about "something going on," then the festival be set to start that very day.
What Ye Need to Join the Hunt
To claim that mountain of adventure XP, ye'll need a few things secured:
- A Port Permit for Boston (from the Caribbean, aye).
- A decent rank in either the Collection or Procurement skills, high enough to find at least two units at a time.
The method is simple: make your way to the wilds of North America via Boston and the railway, then set to work at a landmark. But heed this: common finds like grass yield nothing, and no amount of XP boostin' magic touches the festival's bounty.
A Word of Warning
Where there be treasure and crowds, there be predators. The waters 'tween here and the hunting grounds will be thick with both honest sailors and black-hearted pirates lookin' for easy pickings. Keep a weather eye on the horizon, matey.
So, there ye have it—the lay of the land for the Thanksgiving Festival. A chance for glory, gear, and gold. If ye hunger for the full chart—every landmark, every recipe, and every trick to avoid the gallows—then make way to the complete guide below. I'll show ye how to seize this bounty proper.
