Start: Fenstad Argyle
End: Fenstad Argyle
Fenstad Argyle can be found near the bank in the center of Undercity. For this quest, you must first purchase a Perfume Bottle or Cologne Bottle and a stack of Wrinkled Love Token from a nearby innkeeper. Apply the fragrance, then speak with a nearby Undercity Guardian that is "looking for love" (that is, has a heart over his (it's?) head). Offer a Wrinkled Love Token and you will be rewarded. The reward item may contain the Guardian's Moldy Card you need, if not you must try another Guardian. If you get Heartbroken while trying to obtain the card you will need another player to remove the debuff with a Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet. Once you have obtained a Guardian's Moldy Card, return to Fenstad.

The Source Revealed
Start: Mara Rennick
End: Apothecary Staffron Lerent
Now for a bit of real travel! Mara Rennick wants you to find Apothecary Staffron Lerent out in the Hillsbrad Foothills, just past Ravenholdt Manor. Non-rogues may not be familiar with the area; the 'entrance' to the path up into the mountains can be found at around , just southeast from Tarren Mill. There you will see a path that zig-zags up the hill, and thru a cave eventually leading to Ravenholdt Manor. Once you have reached the manor, head right, past the farm and what appears to be a small sparring ring up a the hill - this is where it gets a little weird. Follow the short path into Alterac Mountains until you reach a small cliff, drop down carefully and head left following the green path on the minimap until you end up at the cauldron.

A Bubbling Cauldron
Start & End: Fragrant Cauldron
Once you've made it up here and discovered the 'source' of these mysterious sweet-smelling fragrances, you are able to interact with the cauldron found nearby Apothecary Staffron Lerent and you will be awarded with your choice of one of the following festive outfits: Blue Dinner Suit or Purple Dinner Suit or Red Dinner Suit or Lovely Blue Dress or Lovely Purple Dress or Lovely Red Dress. Note that this quest will not be repeatable until next year's holiday, so choose wisely!

Alliance Quests

Dearest Colara, (Ironforge | Stormwind City | Darnassus)
Start: Tormek Stoneriver or Lieutenant Jocryn Heldric or Aldris Fourclouds
End: Colara Dean
This quest can be started at any of the three major faction cities listed above. It does not matter which place you start it at, but you will only be able to complete one of the three quests per character. There is essentially no difference in the quests. Just accept one of the quests from a love-struck NPC found in one of the cities and deliver the letter declaring his love to Colara Dean located in the Trade District of Stormwind City. This quest technically leads to another quest, but is not a prerequisite and cannot be completed if the next quest has already been accepted.

Dangerous Love
Start: Aristan Mottar
End: Aristan Mottar
Aristan Mottar can be found near the fountain outside of the bank in Stormwind City. For this quest, you must first purchase a Perfume Bottle or Cologne Bottle and a stack of Wrinkled Love Token from a nearby innkeeper. Apply the fragrance, then speak with a nearby Stormwind Guard that is "looking for love" (that is, has a heart over their head). Offer a Wrinkled Love Token and you will be rewarded. The reward item may contain the Stormwind Guard's Card you need, if not you must try another Guard. If you get Heartbroken while trying to obtain the card you will need another player to remove the debuff with a Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet.

City Guard Cards - Depending on which city's guard you chose to give a Wrinkled Love Token to, you have a chance to receive a card from that specific guard. Horde cards include Grunt's Card, Guardian's Moldy Card and Bluffwatcher's Card, and Alliance cards include Ironforge Guard's Card, Stormwind Guard's Card, and Sentinel's Card. Five of any one type of Horde card can be combined to form either Package of Cards (Orgrimmar), Sheaf of Cards (Undercity) or Satchel of Cards (Thunder Bluff). Five of any one type of Alliance card can be combined to form either Parcel of Cards (Ironforge), Bundle of Cards (Stormwind City) or Stack of Cards (Darnassus).

Pledges of Loyalty - Depending on which city's guard you chose to give a Wrinkled Love Token to, you have a chance to receive a Pledge of Loyalty to that city. Combine five of any one city's pledges to form a Pledge Collection. Horde Pledge Collections include Orgrimmar Pledge Collection, Undercity Pledge Collection and Thunder Bluff Pledge Collection. Alliance Pledge Collections include Ironforge Pledge Collection, Stormwind Pledge Collection and Darnassus Pledge Collection.

Gift Items - Non-guard NPC gifts will contain a different trade gift depending on which city you are in. Five of these goods can be combined to form a different gift in every city. These gifts are then combined with a Pledge Collection and assortment of Cards to create a city Gift Collection. Horde gifts include Box of Fresh Pies (Orgrimmar), Book of Romantic Poems (Undercity) and Basket of Flowers (Thunder Bluff). Alliance gifts include Case of Homebrew (Ironforge), Sack of Homemade Bread (Stormwind City) and Box of Woodcrafts (Darnassus).

Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet - These can be used on player characters to remove the 'Heartbroken' debuff. The item is consumed in the process and the recipient will receive a Friendship Bracelet.

Handful of Rose Petals - This item can be used to shower another player with rose petals (works on bosses)!

Box of Chocolates - This box contains an assortment of chocolates that can be consumed for unique buffs! Each box can contain a few chocolates, including Dark Desire, Buttermilk Delight, Very Berry Cream, Sweet Surprise or just an Empty Wrapper! The Empty Wrapper can be used like a wrapping paper, though I'm not sure what kind of gift you'd send in a discarded chocolate wrapper.

Love Fool - These unlucky little guys work like the target dummies created by engineers. The Love Fool will taunt enemy mobs and probably die shortly afterwards.

Silver Shafted Arrow - This item can be used to shoot a player to make Kwee Q. Peddlefeet follow him around as a non-combat pet. Currently, if you cancel casting the 'shooting' spell the targeted player will still gain Peddlefeet and it will still count towards the Shafted! achievement, but it will not actually consume the item.

Bag of Heart Candies - This item can be used once per minute to create a heart candy with a loving message 'made by' your character. Not only do they make great gifts, but creating each of the different candies is a requirement for the achievement Be Mine!

Romantic Picnic Basket - This permanent item can be used to place down a rug, picnic basket, and umbrella. Players can sit around and 'use' the basket to gain the 'Romantic Picnic' buff which is purely cosmetic and places a heart above the player's head whenever someone joins you for a romantic meal.

Lovely Black Dress - This rather rare dress will not only grant you an achievement, but also increases the sexiness of your character by +500. Even on a female dwarf.

Lovely Fireworks - This unique firework creates an impressive show in the sky complete with hearts!

Truesilver Shafted Arrow - This item teaches you to summon the non-combat pet Kwee Q. Peddlefeet! This rare little winged goblin can be yours as a permanent cute pet! Note that the Perma-Peddle achievement gained by obtaining him has been removed as a requirement for the Fool for Love meta achievement.

Comment by Neutronimity

Oh that must have been very hard work
Congrats on finishing it, Miyari
Such a shame my account is frozen and I can't do this fun stuff!

Comment by Fizzles

I need to know something...
The I Pitied the Fool achievement... Do you need to be INSIDE Naxxramas to get the Achievement, or outside, where the Minimap lists the location as Naxx?
I'm only 74, and after missing out on the Elder title, I feel as though I need this.

Comment by Anarchy

This event makes me realise how lonely and unloved I am

The most obvious thing about the variety and complexity of the achievements for this World Event is how much time the people at Blizzard have on their hands. They need companionship and to get out more.

Comment by Malgayne

Thank goodness she writes these things or I wouldn't have any achievements at all.

I'd ask you to be my Valentine, but i'd have to kill you since i'm Alliance

MMO-Champion reports that you can do it just outside, at the stone, but I haven't verified that.

I believe the lower limit is level 75 for the Culling of Stratholme though, so you'll have to gain 1 level at least.
