Updates to Love is in the Air
There's been a lot of chatter lately about Love is in the Air. Some achievements necessary to get the Fool for Love aren't exactly working as expected (at least for us players). But we've got you covered.After the break you'll find a concise listing of what you need to know to get the Fool for Love achievement done, as well as pointers to other places to look for more information. Don't forget to check back here and send us a tip if you notice things amiss.
And remember, you only have until Sunday to finish everything up. And if you're like me Saturday night will be a solid no-WoW night, so you probably need to do everything tonight and tomorrow night. Unless of course Kara Thrace is your other girlfriend, in which case Friday night is out too.
All the updates to Love is in the Air after the break.My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose and the Bouquet of Red Roses
The Bouquet of Red Roses is no longer part of the holiday achievement. Let me rephrase and state very clearly:
In order to get My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose you just need to obtain the Bouquet of Ebon Roses – NOT the Bouquet of Red Roses. You can get the Bouquet of Ebon Roses from:
- Maiden of Grief in the Halls of Stone
- Prince Keleseth in Utgarde Keep
- Prince Taldaram in Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom.
Everyone loves Stormwind Harbor. But it's had too much love. So much so that if you give a guard a Love Token they'll give you jack squat in return.
So don't give any Stomrwind Harbor guards Love Tokens and you'll be just fine.
I Pitied The Fool and Naxxramas
There has been a lot of confusion, and many players have incorrectly reported that you can earn part of the I Pitied The Fool achievement by dropping your targeting dummy outside Naxxramas. You can't. You have to go into the instance and drop it. The same applies to The Culling of Stratholme.
Where to look for more information
- WoW Insider's Guide to the Love is in The Air - Dan O'Halloran wrote up a great guide for everyone detailing exactly what you need to do.
- WoWWiki - WoWWiki's pages are updated by the community, but they're still pretty darn good.
- WoW Head - Check out the comments left for the Alliance and Horde version of the achievements

I have gotten the pet 5 times now but I still have not seen any Candy Bags or Arrows.....
SaintStryfe Feb 12th 2009 7:43PM
Candy Bags there isn't much we can do, but Arrows, just build up/purchase Alliance/Horde gift packs and give to Pettlefoot by your prefered Racial leader.
BTW, did any notice they didn't update the cities leaders for the Alliance to say Wyrnn? They still say Bolvar.
Well I've started a campaign on my server to give a fond farewell to Bolvar by voting him in the lead. So far, Tryanne is leading, but I think that it's just by people doing IF/SW, then crossing to Darn, and trading in there.
Resist the urge people, give Bolvar the win he deserves!
I think the same thing happens with Sylvanias, as she has way more then Thrall on server.

"I think the same thing happens with Sylvanias, as she has way more then Thrall on server. "
That's because Sylvanas is hawt.

geez I give up on the holiday achievements already. This gets changed, that gets nerfed, suck all the fun right out of what was a Good Thing.

Man, I've had 2 bags of candy 3 black dresses. zero pets. And that darn pet is all I want.
StabinofTB Feb 12th 2009 10:55PM
I've wondered if the candy bags got mixed up with the black dresses, as far as the RNG is concerned. In 31 attempts, I have had zero candy bags, and 9 dresses.
SINisterWyvern Feb 13th 2009 11:01AM
I've had 1 black dress, 2 bags of candy and 0 pets. Plenty of the rest of the stuff though, except arrows. I had to do 2 rounds of alliance gifts to finally get arrows. I just need the roses for meta and the pet to finish it all out.

I just wish they'd buff the drop rate on the bags of candy.
Jamesisgreat Feb 12th 2009 7:20PM
I read on WoWhead that the drop rate is meant to be closer to 30% than the current 3%....
Hopefully it'll get hotfixed when they remove the ice stone thing, or else I bet they drop this achievement as a requirement completely.
Justin Feb 12th 2009 7:55PM
damn... i threw bags of candy away... I should of sold them lol
Jamesisgreat Feb 12th 2009 8:02PM
Doesn't work - the bags are soulbound and you actually need to draw the candies from the bag - if you buy them from the AH then you don't get the achievement :(
Madokachan Feb 12th 2009 10:23PM
really need to buff the drop rate of the Bag of Candy... I've been up all night, set up clock for 1hour interval and then go do something else.. come back and No No NO candy >.<

Shouldn't it be named "My Love is Like a Black, Black Rose" then?
Geeze, make up your mind, Blizzard. ;)
T-Dogg Feb 13th 2009 11:44AM
The red rose bouquet still drops from the new bosses as well as the black one. My group ran the first boss in reg UK 5 times last night and there were 4 black ones and 1 red.
I agree the achievement name is kind of misleading!
Rosarra Feb 12th 2009 7:19PM
Has anyone been able to do the achievement where you get drunk and put petals on the pie seller in IF and kiss him? (alliance) ive tried it twice and it wont give it to me...
any tips?
Contin Feb 12th 2009 7:23PM
Are you getting drunk or are you getting smashed. You have to see the text that you are smashed.
vercingetori Feb 12th 2009 7:24PM
Are you making sure you have perfume on?
Trach Feb 12th 2009 7:25PM
Make sure to have perfume on.
krikkett Feb 12th 2009 7:27PM
Are you completely smashed when you do it?
I dunno, I didn't have any problems at all...
Whimsymaker Feb 12th 2009 8:45PM
The reason you kissing the pie seller is not working.... You don't kiss the pie seller. The one you are looking for walks around the forge area. Make you have the right name.
