Love Is in the Air

Love Is in the Air

**Updated for 2013**

Love and adoration are in the air in the major cities of Azeroth… and in celebration of the occasion, you’re invited to share candy, perfume, and gifts with guards, townsfolk, and other players for special rewards.

Be cautious, as the season’s spreading joy seems to have nefarious undertones. Recently, a strange "love sickness" has clouded the hearts of many of Azeroth’s people – is this widespread incident simply an outbreak of amore, or will you and your fellow brave adventurers uncover a dark secret behind this plague of passion?


The Event

  • When:  February 11-24
  • Where:  Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Shattrath, Dalaran, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Undercity
  • Learn More: Wowhead, Wowpedia

 

Activities

  • Seasonal Boss: Use the Dungeon Finder to participate in a high-level encounter against Apothecary Hummel, granting a Heart-Shaped Box (which contains special holiday loot) as a daily reward. Of course, useful high-level loot will also drop when you vanquish Apothecary Hummel. The Apothecary has grown in power to take on level 90 heroes, so you must be level 89 to join the fight.
  • Main Quest Line: The Steamwheedle Cartel suspects there's something shady about the goblin newcomers of the Crown Chemical Company. Investigators have been hired to get to the bottom of things -- with your help.
  • Daily Quests: Complete special daily quests to obtain experience, money, and Love Tokens to purchase holiday items. For detailed information about the quests, check out the Love Is in the Air guide on Wowhead.

 

Item Rewards

Mounts
  • Big Love Rocket: The Heart-Shaped Box, a daily reward from the Dungeon Finder for defeating Apothecary Hummel, has a chance to drop a stylish flying mount: the Big Love Rocket!
  • Swift Lovebird: Take to the ground atop this pink, flightless bird, sure to set the mood for any acrophobic romantic engagements. Available in exchange for Love tokens at your faction’s Lovely Merchants, NPC vendors located in capital cities.

Pets
  • Toxic Wasteling: This disgusting (but friendly!) ooze will grow in size as it eats critters that cross your path.
  • Truesilver Shafted Arrow: Summon a lil’ winged goblin of love by spending Love tokens at your faction’s Lovely Merchants.
Amorous Accessories
  • Romantic Picnic Basket: Enjoy a lovely meal with your closest companions. This picnic basket can be purchased with Love tokens at your faction’s Lovely merchants.
  • Forever-Lovely Rose: Wear this rose tied in your hair (female characters), or in your mouth (male characters). The rose has a chance to drop from the Heart-Shaped Box, a daily reward for defeating Apothecary Hummel.
  • The Heartbreaker: This strange experimental device also has a chance to drop from Hummel’s Heart-Shaped Boxes.
  • Vile Fumigator's Mask: This creepy mask, worn by Royal Apothecary Society members, can also be found inside a Heart-Shaped Box.
  • Dinner Clothes: These classy suits and dresses can be bought from your faction’s Lovely merchants (in exchange for Love tokens).

Same here. Looking at the calendar I saw the heart graphics so just assumed Sunday was the last day; which I thought meant I had all day Sunday, not 3hrs on Sunday starting at midnight. Really misleading, and a waste of 255 love charms and of course time. =(

I have to agree. The date in the description is completely misleading. Either someone is missing common sense in language or typed in the wrong date when programming. Sad...

Aw man, I thought I would have until the end of the day on the 24th to finish the achievements out and get the title. I just hit 90 a couple days ago and was desperately trying to get my first title before time ran out. Ugh, so much time wasted and just a few achievements short.

Many people are not being able to grab the quest from Detective Snap Snagglebolt in Orgrimmar. A GM personally took a look at it an she said it was def. an in-game bug she has no power to fix (it's not the common "my quest didn't auto-reset from last year").
The Dev team should be looking into that before the event ends; we want our tokens.

Please stop throwing hearts on me... love is NOT in the air... it's kinda sad when someone chases you down across an entire city just to give a "sample" of their "satisfaction." *shudders* :P

Has the chances increased for the big love rocket, or is it the same? If it has increased, how much then?

Easy place to farm charms is the vermin in Stormstout Brewery. Make sure to go on normal and bring a friend if you feel the need.

I saw the Peddlefeet picture and immediately thought of the Joker. Do a side by side comparison of him with the Joker grinning and tell me they don't look like family.

I bought the download of the battle chest on Saturday. How do i download it? it only offers me the trial version. I also upgraded to a paid account though the payment wont come out until next month. Is that the reason I cant use the battle chest?

@Eliment: This. Back when I was a 85, I just farmed the Kvaldir Raiders until I was blue in the face. Got enough charm bracelets for everything. Can't speak for 90's now.

Did you at least make the mask Transmoggable. If not this whole holiday is irrelevant.
