    Love is in the Air 2025

    Adoration Abounds - Love is in the Air Has Begun

    Love is in the Air 2025

    New in 2025






    Heart-Shaped Box - 2023 Event Update

    The Love is in the Air world event is right around the corner, and we’re sharing the love this holiday season.

    We’ve heard your feedback on the frustrations with X-45 Heartbreaker’s low drop rate and feeling the pressure of having to farm the mount by cycling through as many alts as possible every day. From now on, the first Heart-Shaped Box you receive each day across your Battle.net account will have a greatly increased chance to contain the X-45 Heartbreaker mount.

    Any subsequent Heart-Shaped Boxes you earn on your characters after the first each day will drop the mount at the previous, original rate.

    Love is in the Air begins on February 6 at 10:00 a.m. PST in all regions. So spritz on your favorite perfume and head to the Shadowfang Keep event dungeon to defeat Apothecary Hummel for your chance at the fantastic flying fuschia fuselage you’ve fancied far too fervently for what seems like forever.

    Good luck adventurers!


    The Event Boss: Apothecary Hummel
    You can queue through the dungeon finder to kill Apothecary Hummel, who drops a Heart-Shaped Box for the first kill of the day. This item can contain:


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

    Lol, they made the new mount a drop from the box too? Will sure be fun to do multiple runs a day and never get that too.

    They missed a sick opportunity to reference Nirvana in the flavor text for the Heart-shaped Box.

    well if the comments on wowhead are anything to go by it has a much higher drop rate than the X-45. Lots of people reporting getting it day 1.

    edit: just ran the dungeon, I got it and so did one other member of the party. the other 3 didn't respond to my question. I am assuming it is a 100% drop, whether that is intended or not I don't know but I would run the dungeon asap just in case it isn't and they change it later

    Ah, well that's nice to hear frankly. The X-45 is too damn rare.

    I can't wait to run this every day until my eyes bleed for a 1% chance at the rocket.
    We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

    Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
    I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

    To be fair, it doesn’t say a percentage. Just says “greatly increased”… but the original % chance was lower than 1%. So it could be 1%

    Players: The drop rate is terrible on Love Rocket!

    Blizzard: We agree, we're going to TRIPLE the drop rate!!

    Players: YAY! HELL YEAH!!!!

    Meanwhile, you triple 0.33% drop chance... yeah.

    Which is why I wish they'd just publically announce drop rates, especially for the really rare stuff. It's hard to notice that a drop is bugged/broken to where it's not dropping at the intended rate if said intended rate is super low and unknown... aside from the rare oocasion it drops too often. There have been cases in the past where stuff with intentionally really low drop rates were dropping at even lower rates or not all all, but due to the nature of low drop rates they don't always get caught quickly (or maybe even at all).

    It's akin to trinkets: there was a time when Blizz put exact proc chances on trinkets, but now everything is usually vague (such as saying proc rate is "very high" or "low" with no quanitfiers as to what that means). Sure, you could use math sometimes to figure out the probably proc chance based upon cooldowns, but not all trinkets have cooldowns that can be reverse engineered for a proc chance. Just a classic case of Blizz just doesn't want people knowing the numbers either because they don't want people knowing them or they think people are too dumb or would be overwhelmed by knowing exactly what they're getting... or both.

    “It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”

    To be fair, not everyone can be blessed with a Big Love Rocket. A big love rocket is something everyone could enjoy, however it is not a common thing. Only some people will ever have one.
    That’s alright though, as there’s nothing wrong with the average mounts that everyone else can use if they don’t have a big love rocket.

    The new one I think is 100%. I’ve seen lots of people say they’ve gotten it, 2/5 of the group I was in got it (other 3 didn’t answer) so if it’s not 100% then it’s damn high

    ok so the Love Witch's Sweeper isn't 100% but it must be pretty high. You've been unlucky

    Sounds more like "frustration is in the air" which is, well...

    Still haven’t gotten it. Not really upset about it. More interested in the love rocket.
