Lovely Charm Collection
To start collecting Lovely Charms, players must purchase a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit from Kwee Q. Peddlefeet. With it in their inventory, players will be rewarded with Lovely Charms whenever they fight enemies which would grant XP or Honor.


The Event Boss: Apothecary Hummel
You can queue through the dungeon finder to kill Apothecary Hummel, who drops a Heart-Shaped Box or Heart-Shaped Carton (depending on your level) for the first kill of the day - this can contain:


Apothecary Hummel also drops a random neck piece from the following list:

Upon killing Apothecary Hummel for the first time you will also be awarded a Faded Lovely Greeting Card, which will begin the quest Something is in the Air (and it Ain’t Love).


Quests

    Nothing new was added this year. If you aren't going to be pounding out hardcore for the rocket and you got everything new from last year, you can take this year's event off.

    We also wanted to avoid a situation where a player with an army of low-level characters had a better chance at receiving account-wide rewards than a player with one or two max-level characters. At the same time, we didn't want to impact the amount of chances that players who maintain several max-level characters had in previous years.
    GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.

    I just wish they had the balls to pull the trigger and make super rare items like Big Love Rocket a one chance per day per account. And I say this as someone who very much does not have the mount.

    Rare items are becoming a rare thing in WoW, with far too many people using an army of low level characters to farm things. It makes balancing rare drops impossible, which means people who do not do that are at a severe disadvantage.

    I got my rocket back in 2011, so once again I get to collect the tears of people who have yet to get it.

    Now what I do with these tears is anyones guess.

    That would be a band aid for massive problem with today's WoW - we are playing accounts, not characters. MMORPG should be about characters. Account wide things are cancer in WoW. Correct solution is to make everything character bound again.

    Is the love rocket the only item not in the low level box?

    I still need the toy and wonder if it's farmable on 20's.

    Got my Love Rocket mount this morning on my 4th character run, been farming every year on 8 characters since WOTLK - maybe the drop rate has increased or I'm incredibly lucky.

    If its only obtainable from lvls 98 and higher characters, then you have
    my most sincere of "Fuck You's" Blizzard. That's some genuine bullshit
    right there.

    After hearing about people who ran the event over a thousand times last year trying to get the rocket I can't say I blame Blizzard, because that shit isn't healthy. Of course raising the drop rate might have fixed that as well...
