The OverAchiever: Guide to Fool for Love achievements, Page 2


I Pitied The Fool


Hurrah for another PvP-related achievement! Fortunately, doing this tends to be more travel-intensive than difficult. The Love Fool can be purchased from any Lovely Vendor for 10 Love Tokens, but the catch is that the item's a one-use only deal. As a result, you'll need to shell out 50 Love Tokens in order to get this done, but it's as simple as dropping a Fool, targeting it, and typing /pity in your chat box (or, for convenience's sake, creating a macro to do the same).

If you're doing this achievement at the same time as a few buddies or guildies, multiple players can use the same Fool, so you don't necessarily have to pay for all of them yourself. Have a friend drop a Fool, everyone around can /pity it, then you can move on to the next spot.

The locations are as follows:
  • Arathi Basin blacksmith: Make sure you see the "Blacksmith" zone title flash on your screen before you drop this, but this is easy -- you should be able to drop it just about anywhere on the central island in AB and get credit.
  • Battle Ring of Gurubashi Arena: The Gurubashi Arena is located in Stranglethorn Vale north up the road from Booty Bay. You'll need to enter and drop down from the spectator stands into the ring below in order to get credit for this. Bear in mind that the battle ring is a Free For All PvP area -- you can be attacked and killed by any player in the game here, even those of your own faction.
  • Culling of Stratholme: You do need to be inside the instance. Whether it's normal or heroic doesn't matter, but you have to be at least level 75 to enter the normal version (and 80, obviously, for heroic).
  • Naxxramas: As with Culling of Stratholme, you need to be inside Naxx to get credit for this (where doesn't matter). If you're not planning on running Naxx, group up with a buddy or two, convert the group to a raid, zone in, drop the Love Fool, /pity it, and be on your merry way.
  • Wintergrasp: Location doesn't seem to matter here; as long as you're in the WIntergrasp zone, you'll get credit.
Lonely?

If you want to use your own basket for this (although you'll still need to get someone to sit underneath it with you), the Romantic Picnic Basket can be purchased for 10 Love Tokens from any holiday vendor. Buttermilk Delights can be found within the Box of Chocolates buyable for another 10 Love Tokens.

If you don't want to spend the Tokens, just sit down next to anyone who's dropped a Romantic Picnic in Dalaran, right-click the picnic basket, and then eat your Buttermilk Delight. If you do have your own Picnic Basket, drop it anywhere in Dalaran, and odds are good that someone will happen along to join you over the course of the holiday. Failing that, asking a nearby player usually works.

My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose


Robert Burns is probably rolling over in his grave at the standard English spelling, but eh. For this, you'll need to nab a Bouquet of Red Roses or Bouquet of Ebon Roses drop from one among a series of 5-man bosses. The Red Roses once dropped off of bosses in Blackrock Depths, Dire Maul, and Stratholme, but Blizzard removed that last year in order to update the holiday for Wrath.

Nowadays, you'll get a Bouquet of Ebon Roses (and the occasional Red Roses) off: Because you can get the Roses off the normal version of all three dungeons, it's usually easiest to do a normal Utgarde Keep up to Keleseth, then reset as needed for any other party member who needs a drop. The Bouquet is a 100% drop during the holiday, but it can only go to a single player per run, so just keep rerunning the dungeon til you and your friends are all set.

Nation of Adoration (Alliance) and Nation of Adoration (Horde)

In each major city, Kwee Q. Peddlefeet will offer you a daily quest to bring a Lovely Charm Bracelet to the city's corresponding faction leader (e.g. Varian Wrynn in Stormwind, Thrall in Orgrimmar, etc.). The quests aren't mutually exclusive -- i.e. you can bring a Bracelet to Magni Bronzebeard and then head for Kalimdor to give one to Tyrande all in the same day -- so the only limiting factor is how many Lovely Charms you've got on you. You'll have to farm up 40 to make the necessary Bracelets.


The Rocket's Pink Glare


Love Rockets are purchased for 5 Love Tokens in packs of 5. Once you've got 10, this achievement couldn't be simpler; drag them to one of your hotkeys and spam it until you've got the achievement. You should be able to shoot 10 off within 20 seconds very easily.

Players have reported issues with lag affecting their ability to get this, so if you're playing with high latency, you may want to get a few extra rockets just in case, go to an uncrowded area, and/or try this during one of your server's slower periods.

Shafted!

Easy, easy, easy -- as soon as you get the item you need. The Silver Shafted Arrow is buyable in packs of 5 for 5 Love Tokens (so 10 Tokens total). As soon as you've got them, shoot any player in sight who doesn't already have a noncombat pet out. Once you've got 10, you're all set.

To answer commenter questions below, the achievement doesn't work on players who already have a pet out because the Arrow gives the targeted player a temporary noncombat pet. Because you can only have one out at a time, the Arrow won't work on a player who already has one.

Sweet Tooth

All of the candies needed for this can be found in the Box of Chocolates you can buy for 10 Love Tokens. Stuff yourself with all four (you can combine the Buttermilk Delight pig-out with Lonely?, above) and you're gold.

Not required for the meta:

There are some achievements related to the Love Is In the Air holiday that you can do just for fun, but aren't required for the title.

Lovely Luck Is On Your Side


The Lovely Black Dress, rather than being a rare drop as it was last year, is now indirectly buyable for 20 Love Tokens. What you actually do is buy the Lovely Dress Box then right-click to open it. Please note that, even though the dress can be traded between characters, you will only get an achievement from looting it from the BoP Box that you'll obviously have to buy yourself.

Perma-Peddle

Once upon a time, you needed to get very, very lucky with a Truesilver Shafted Arrow, which was a 1% drop from a Gift/Pledge from a city NPC or guard. Thankfully, in 2010 they're buyable for 40 Love Tokens. After two years of trying, my main is finally going to have herself that manifestation of swooning romance, a leering goblin in a toga.
