Date: February 5, 2023
Expansion: World of Warcraft

Can you feel it? The capital cities are decked out with ribbons and seasonal vendors are peddling their sweet treats: Love is in the Air has arrived! But it’s not all roses… the sneaky goblins of the Crown Chemical Co. are plotting to spread their plagued goods to the citizens of Azeroth, and it’s up to you to stop them.

When: Feb. 6-20, 2023
Where: Capital cities of Azeroth

Recent Updates:

2023: Blizzard announced that the X-45 Heartbreaker mount has an increased chance of being in your first Heart-Shaped Box each day for all level 60+ characters.
- In the newly launched Trading Post, completing Love is in the Air activities can get you a total of 750 Traveler’s Log points.

Rewards

Love Tokens can be used to purchase mounts you’ll fall in love with (such as Swift Lovebird and X-45 Heartbreaker), battle pets, stylish cosmetic items, and plenty of romance-themed toys, including the Romantic Picnic Basket.

Players can earn 30 Love Tokens per day by completing daily quests.
An additional 5-10 Love Tokens are rewarded inside Heart-Shaped Box upon defeating Apothecary Hummel in Shadowfang Keep
Players can also turn in Lovely Charm Bracelets in exchange for one Love Token.
- To create a Lovely Charm Bracelet, first, obtain a Lovely Charm Collector’s Kit from Kwee Q. Peddlefeet, then slay enemies to collect and combine 10 Lovely Charms.
- Note: To receive a Lovely Charm, enemies must be near or above your character’s current level. Gathering and killing low-level enemies that appear gray will not award any Charms.

Apparel

Dress to impress in a Lovely Dress or Dinner Suit! Visit Lovely Merchants in each faction’s capital cities to purchase a box for 20 .

Lovely Dress Box awards one of four dresses: Lovely Black Dress, Lovely Blue Dress, Lovely Purple Dress, and Lovely Red Dress
Dinner Suit Box awards one of three suits: Blue Dinner Suit, Purple Dinner Suit, and Red Dinner Suit

Note: The green/uncommon quality versions of the Lovely Dresses and Dinner Suits are Bind on Pickup (BoP), can be transmogged while Love is in the Air is active, and replace the former white/common quality versions of the same items. The common quality items are Bind on Equip (BoE) and can be equipped year-round.

If you dare, enter the holiday encounter in Shadowfang Keep and defeat Apothecary Hummel for a chance at two headpieces. As of 2022, these items were not transmoggable, though they can be equipped year-round:

Forever-Lovely Rose equips male characters with a flower clenched in their teeth, and female characters will wear the rose tucked behind their ears.
