Event Overview

The Crown Chemical Company

During this holiday, you will be able to use the Dungeon Finder tool to queue for a fight against the Crown Chemical Company. The first boss kill of the day will reward a Heart-Shaped Box which can contain rare rewards such as the Spring Butterfly, Love Witch's Sweeper and X-45 Heartbreaker.

Lovely Merchants

The main vendors for Love is in the Air World Event are Lythianne Morningspear and Kiera Torres. Other event related merchants and quest givers can be found around the Gala of Gifts, which is hosted outside Orgrimmar and Stormwind.

/way #37 32.2 50.4 Kiera Torres (Elwynn Forest)

Mounts

Note: Spring Butterfly and Love Witch's Sweeper can drop only from the first Heart-Shaped Box of the day across your Battle.net account. These two mounts are on the bad luck protection system, meaning their drop chance increases once per day after a failed attempt.

Note: X-45 Heartbreaker has a higher chance to drop from the first Heart-Shaped Box of the day across your Battle.net account. Additional attempts within the same day can also drop the mount, though at its standard estimated drop rate of around 0.03%.

When: February 9-23
Where: Located outside Orgrimmar and Stormwind, with portals to the Gala of Gifts found in major cities around Azeroth.

Spread Gratitude at the Gala of Gifts

With help from the Artisan's Consortium, Stormwind and Orgrimmar are putting on a Gala of Gifts, where townsfolk can get tokens of kindness and affection for their loved ones. Complete quests, defeat Apothecary Hummel or donate to the Artisan's Consortium to earn Love Tokens and exchange them for exquisite rewards.

The Gala of Gifts can be found outside Stormwind and Orgrimmar, with portals to the festivities located in major cities across Azeroth. Gala directors Luciano Delgado (Alliance) and Mahaja Cloudsong (Horde) will help ensure you enjoy your time.

The Trouble with Love

Inspector Snip Snagglebolt and Detective Snap Snagglebolt are on the case again! The Crown Chemical Co. has been kicked out, but something still smells like trouble. Team up with Snagglebolt and his new companion, O.D.I.E., the robotic canine, to sniff out the mystery!

Treat Yourself

Practice self-love by relaxing, relieving stress, and whatever self-care means when you make a scenic getaway through a magic portal, helping others as you revisit interesting places around Azeroth.

To escape to a world of tranquil peace, visit the following daily quest-givers, Gabbo Blinkwink (Alliance) and Aurora Vabsley (Horde). To pamper yourself in self-love, visit the daily quest-givers, Ying (Alliance) and Ning (Horde).

Achievements

Fool For Love

Fool For Love is the meta achievement for this event. Completing it will reward the Love Fool title.

For this achievement you have to shoot 10 players with Silver Shafted Arrow, which you can buy in stacks of 5from the Lovely Merchant for 5 Love Tokens.

To complete this achievement you need to follow certain steps in a specific order:

  • Obtain and learn the Romantic Picnic Basket toy from the Lovely Vendor. It costs 10 Love Tokens.
  • Buy and open Box of Chocolates until you get a Buttermilk Delight. You can buy the boxes from the Lovely Merchant for 10 Love Tokens.
  • Find another player that needs the achievement or can help out. You can both get the achievement in one go if you both meet the requirements.
  • Go to Northrend Dalaran (Broken Isles Dalaran won't do it) and use the Picnic Basket.
  • Both players should now click on the Picnic Basket to sit down. Using the /sit command doesn't work.
  • Wait for both players to obtain the Romantic Picnic buff.
  • Eat your Buttermilk Delight and the achievement is yours! Note that only the player who wants the achievement needs to eat the chocolate, although both can obtain it as long as both players eat the chocolate.

This achievement is obtained by finishing a questline that starts with Something Stinks (Horde)/Something Stinks (Alliance)

For this achievement you need to shoot 10 Love Rocket in 20 seconds or less. You can buy the rockets in stacks of 5 from the Lovely Merchant, for 5 Love Tokens per stack. It is recommended that you drag the item to your hotbar and use a keybind to use them to avoid going too slow.

To obtain this achievement you will have to find every race/class combo listed on the achievement, and use a Handful of Rose Petals on them.
You can use them on yourself if you meet the required class/race combination. Level 1 characters can be used to complete this, so having another player helping out makes it very easy.

All the chocolates for this achievement can be obtained by opening a Box of Chocolates, which you can buy from the Lovely Merchant for 10 Love Tokens. Keep in mind that a single box may not contain all the chocolates for the achievement, but you should be able to complete it in less than 3 boxes.

Note: You might want to check the "Lonely?" achievement before eating a Buttermilk Delight if you only have 1, as it is required for both achievements.

The Bag of Heart Candies needed for the achievement can be bought from the Lovely Merchant for 2 Love Tokens. Each bag has 10 charges, and every charge has a chance to create a different Heart Candy. You'll have to buy a few bags if you're not lucky on the first one.

The Bouquet of Red Roses and the Bouquet of Ebon Roses can be obtained from certain bosses of Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm dungeons. There is conflicting information on which dungeons, difficulties and bosses have a 100% drop chance for these items, but The Stonecore in Deepholm on both Normal and Heroic modes, seem to be the safest bet.

This achievement requires you to use a Love Fool in 5 specific locations, and /pity them. You will have to buy 5 different Fools, as they have only 1 charge per item. You can NOT use the Sturdy Love Fool as a replacement. The locations are:

  • Wintergrasp: Located in Northrend. You can place the Fool anywhere except inside the fortress, as it will instantly disappear and waste it.
  • Arathi Basin Blacksmith: You will have to queue for a Battleground in Arathi Basin, and then head to the Blacksmith area. As long as your map says "Blacksmith" you're good.
  • Naxxramas: Located in Dragonblight, Northrend. You will have to enter the instance and use the Fool anywhere inside. The area around the summoning stone will not count for the achievement.
  • Battle Ring of Gurubashi Arena: Located in Stranglethorn Valley, southern Eastern Kingdoms. You will have to drop down to the PvP-only area for it to count for the achievement.
  • The Culling of Stratholme: Located in the Caverns of Time, Tanaris. You will have to enter the instance to place the Fool. Anywhere inside works.

Other Achievements

These achievements aren't part of Fool For Love, but still belong to the Love is in the Air holiday:

  • Love Language Expert - Deliver all of the following gifts to Lovely Guests at the Steam Pools Resort.

This achievement can be done during the daily quest Getaway to Scenic Feralas!, which is available once every three days during the world event. You can abandon and pick up the quest multiple times to deliver gifts to more Lovely Guests in the same day.

Novelty - Shiny New Weapon to Vernon Whitlock
Beauty - Mystery Gift: Bouquet of Flowers to Bratley Graston
Comfort - /hug Theoderic Prescott
Festivity - Barrel of Wine to Clarissa Buchannan

/way #1 42.2 18.1 Torgando Featherhoof (Horde)
/way #37 32 49.8 Galvus Ironhammer (Alliance)

This achievement is obtained by purchasing a Truesilver Shafted Arrow from the Lovely Merchant for 40 Love Tokens.

For this achievement you need to loot a Lovely Black Dress from the Lovely Dress Box. It's a 1 in 4 chance, so it might take you a few tries. Each box costs 20 Love Tokens. Buying the dress from the Auction House won't grant you the achievement, you must loot it from the box.

To obtain this achievement you need to queue up for the Crown Chemical Co. and defeat the trio of insidious undead apothecaries.

To obtain this achievement you need to finish the event dungeon, Crown & Chemical Co. Apothecaries and loot one of the necklaces they drop. The necklaces drop from the bosses themselves and not the daily reward, allowing you to queue unlimited times until you get it. Once you get the necklace, you have to equip it, wait for its cooldown, and use it. Since it's a necklace, you don't need to loot the one specific for your class/role.

To get this achievement you will need someone else to use Manufactured Love Prism on your character until you have 10/25/50 stacks of Love Ray. The Manufactured Love Prism can be purchased for 40 Love Tokens from Zikky and Bang Sparknozzle.

Tip: You can solo this achievement by using one or more starter accounts!

  • Complete the Love is in the Air introduction questline until you have 40 Love Tokens.
  • Return to the Gala of Gifts and purchase the Manufactured Love Prism.
  • Group up and use the Manufactured Love Prism on the same character until they get 50 stacks.
  • Avoid logging out since that will remove the Love Ray stacks.
