4. Event Boss: Crown Chemical Co. Trio↑top

The boss encounter of the event (located in Shadowfang Keep) can be accessed by queuing for it in the Dungeon Finder or by speaking to Steamwheedle Shyster, located in the Trade District of Stormwind City or near Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar.

The boss encounter consists in defeating Apothecary Hummel, Apothecary Baxter, and Apothecary Frye, whom your party will all face simultaneously. The fight itself is fairly simple, especially for well geared level 85 players

4.1. Rewards

The first time that you defeat the boss encounter, you will be granted the Tough Love Icon Tough Love achievement and you will be able to loot a Faded Lovely Greeting Card Icon Faded Lovely Greeting Card from Hummel. This starts the Something is in the Air (and it Ain't Love) (Alliance / Horde) quest, which rewards some gold.

The first time that you defeat the boss encounter in a given day, you will be given a Heart-Shaped Box Icon Heart-Shaped Box, which has a chance to contain:

Every time you defeat the boss encounter, Apothecary Hummel will drop one of the following Neck items:

4.2. Tactics

The enemies have damaging spells that fit in one of two categories: Perfume (purple) or Cologne (green):

Inside the area where you will be fighting, there are two cauldrons: Perfume Neutralizer Icon Perfume Neutralizer makes you immune to Perfume attacks while Cologne Neutralizer Icon Cologne Neutralizer makes you immune to Cologne attacks. Clicking a cauldron will create an item in your bags after a short cast time. Using this item is what gives you the immunity buff (which lasts 5 minutes).

With that in mind, the encounter is rather easy. Have one player take the Perfume Neutralizer and keep aggro on Hummel. Have another player take the Cologne Neutralizer and keep aggro on Baxter. The rest of the group can take either of the Neutralizers. By doing so, your group will only have to worry about moving out of the Perfume or Cologne void zones that Frye (who cannot be tanked) regularly puts down.

Ideally, you will want to kill Hummel and Baxter first and finish with Frye.

5. Farming Love Tokens↑top

In addition to being rewarded by the daily quests, Love Token Icon Love Tokens can be bought with Lovely Charm Bracelet Icon Lovely Charm Bracelets, at a rate of 1 Lovely Charm Bracelet for 1 Love Token, from Lovely Merchants in capital cities.

To craft a Lovely Charm Bracelet Icon Lovely Charm Bracelet, you need to collect 10 Lovely Charm Icon Lovely Charms, which you will combine by right-clicking one of them. Lovely Charm Icon Lovely Charms drop from creatures that reward experience or honor, if you have a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit Icon Lovely Charm Collector's Kit, given to you when doing the first of your faction's daily quests.

Level 85 players can efficiently farm these items in the following ways:

  • by killing trash mobs in level 80 dungeons (Halls of Reflection) or in Northrend heroic dungeons;
  • by killing level 80 mobs in Icecrown;
  • by killing mobs on the Molten Front (you will never run out of targets).

Note that it is no longer possible to farm these items by killing mobs while inside a vehicle, like in the Ulduar gauntlet event.

5.1. Trading Lovely Charm Bracelets

Note that, if you can afford it, you can buy Lovely Charm Bracelet Icon Lovely Charm Bracelets from other players. However, as is the case with items that have a limited duration, you cannot trade them through the auction house.

6. Remaining Achievements↑top

If you have followed this guide so far, you will have already obtained the following achievements: Dangerous Love Icon Dangerous Love, Nation of Adoration Icon Nation of Adoration (Alliance / Horde), and Tough Love Icon Tough Love.

In this section, we will run you through the many remaining achievements.

6.1. Be Mine!

To complete the Be Mine! Icon Be Mine! achievement, you need to eat each of the 8 following candies:

These candies can be found in Bag of Heart Candies Icon Bags of Heart Candies, which you can buy for 2 Love Token Icon from a Lovely Merchant in any major city. You might need to buy several bags before you obtain all the cookies.

6.2. Charming

Either by doing your faction's daily quests or by farming for Lovely Charm Icon Lovely Charms, you will eventually make 12 Lovely Charm Bracelet Icon Lovely Charm Bracelets and trigger the Charming Icon Charming achievement.

6.3. Fistful of Love

To obtain the Fistful of Love Icon Fistful of Love achievement, you need to buy 15 Handful of Rose Petals Icon Handful of Rose Petals (you only need 11, but you can only buy these items 5 by 5). This will cost you 6 tokens. Then, use the items on the various combinations of class and race that the achievement demands.

6.4. Flirt With Disaster

Flirt With Disaster Icon Flirt With Disaster (Alliance / Horde) requires you to first buy:

Then, head to Ironforge, if you play Alliance, or Undercity, if you play Horde. Finally, follow these steps:

  2. Get smashed (by drinking enough of the alcoholic beverage you brought);
  3. Put on the perfume that you bought;
  4. Use a Handful of Rose Petals Icon Handful of Rose Petals on the NPC;
  5. /kiss the NPC.

6.5. I Pitied The Fool

For completing I Pitied The Fool Icon I Pitied The Fool, you first need to buy 5 Love Fool Icon Love Fools. Each Love Fool costs 10 Love Token Icon, so it is a good idea to go with a group of friends to do the achievement, each friend bringing one or two Love Fools.

Then, simply go to each of the locations mentioned in the achievement text, put down a Love Fool, target it, and /pity it.

6.6. Lonely?

For completing Lonely? Icon Lonely?, you first need to obtain a Buttermilk Delight Icon Buttermilk Delight, which you can find in a Box of Chocolates Icon Box of Chocolates. This box can be bought from a Lovely Merchant for 10 Love Token Icon. You might also need to buy a Romantic Picnic Basket Icon Romantic Picnic Basket, which costs 10 Love Token Icon and can be refunded if you manage not to use it.

Then, you need to go to Dalaran with a friend, or find one there. Sit at one of the Romantic Picnic sets or create one using your Romantic Picnic Basket Icon Romantic Picnic Basket. Wait for your character and that of your friend to be buffed with Romantic Picnic Icon Romantic Picnic before eating your piece of Buttermilk Delight Icon Buttermilk Delight. Note that your friend only needs to sit down with you for you to get the achievement, they do not need to also eat a Buttermilk Delight, unless they want to get the achievement.

6.7. Sweet Tooth

Completing Sweet Tooth Icon Sweet Tooth requires you to eat each of the following candies: Buttermilk Delight Icon Buttermilk Delight, Sweet Surprise Icon Sweet Surprise, Dark Desire Icon Dark Desire, Very Berry Cream Icon Very Berry Cream. Each of them has an 80% chance to be contained in a Box of Chocolates Icon Box of Chocolates, which can be bought from a Lovely Merchant for 10 Love Token Icon.

Note that from having done the Lonely? Icon Lonely?, you must already have completed the Buttermilk Delight objective and you probably also have obtained some of the other candies (if not all of them).

6.8. Lovely Luck Is In Your Side

For Lovely Luck Is On Your Side Icon Lovely Luck Is On Your Side, simply buy Lovely Dress Box Icon Lovely Dress Boxes from a Lovely Merchant until one of them contains a Lovely Black Dress Icon Lovely Black Dress. Each box costs 20 Love Token Icon and has a 25% chance of containing a Lovely Black Dress.

6.9. My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose

My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose Icon My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose requires you to obtain a Bouquet of Red Roses Icon Bouquet of Red Roses or a Bouquet of Ebon Roses Icon Bouquet of Ebon Roses. These drop from bosses in heroic WOTLK dungeons and from bosses in normal and heroic Cataclysm dungeons.

6.10. Perma-Peddle

The Perma-Peddle Icon Perma-Peddle is obtained by buying a Truesilver Shafted Arrow Icon Truesilver Shafted Arrow (costs 40 Love Token Icon at a Lovely Merchant) and using it to learn how to summon the Peddlefeet Icon Peddlefeet pet.

6.11. Shafted!

To complete the Shafted! Icon Shafted! achievement, spend 10 Love Token Icon to buy 10 Silver Shafted Arrow Icon Silver Shafted Arrows from a Lovely Merchant. Then, use the arrows on 10 players that do not currently have a non-combat pet out.

6.12. The Rocket's Pink Glare

To complete the The Rocket's Pink Glare Icon The Rocket's Pink Glare achievement, you need to buy 10 Love Rocket Icon Love Rockets from a Lovely Merchant, something that will cost you 10 Love Token Icon. Then, fire them off as fast as you can (by right-clicking them in your bags).

There appears to be issues in crowded areas and with certain addons that prevent all the rockets from being counted towards the achievement. To avoid this, you can attempt to obtain the achievement in a deserted place, with your addons disabled.
