The in-game holiday Love Is In the Air begins Sunday, running February 7th (3:00 am server time) through February 21st (3:00 am server time) this year. Doing most of the achievements related to the holiday will reward you with the meta Fool for Love, the title “the Love Fool,” and one more notch in the long trek toward What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been.

Standard operating procedure for the holiday involves buying Cologne/Perfume and Love Tokens from innkeepers (very cheaply) and then using them to interact with city guards and NPCs with hearts over their heads. Spray yourself with cologne (to talk to female guards/NPCs) or perfume (to talk to male guards/NPCs), fork over a Token, and most of the time they will give you a Gift/Pledge of Adoration in return. These Gifts/Pledges have historically contained nearly all of the items required to do the meta-achievement. If the guard/NPC in question doesn’t like you, instead of getting a present you’ll get your heart broken. This debuff leaves you unable to talk to another NPC for holiday-related business for an hour, or until another player “cures” you.

That’s how the holiday’s worked in the past, anyway. Blizzard has changed some of the achievements required for the meta, many of which now refer to items and quests we haven’t seen in-game yet, so stay tuned; I’ll be updating the guide after the holiday goes live to reflect the 2010 changes.
