I'm both excited and horrified to find out what a Swift Lovebird is.

Comment by Kazlehoff

a SMALLER mount than the Hawkstrider for my Tauren to ride?

GLORIOUS!

Comment by Sanryo

I can only begin to imagine the ~~fun people will have~~ trolling that will be done with this in trade chat.

Comment by Dementron

Let's see... my hunter's first and still favorite pet is Mazzranache, she has the Mulgore Hatchling to go with him, and now I might be able to get her a mount to match? I must have this! An entire family of Dire Flamingos!

Fear the pink heralds of doom! *Waaaaaaark!*

Comment by Elites360

~~Probably~~ A new mount for the "Love Is In The Air" World Event. Cost 270 Love Token

The mount is in-fact BoE and can be traded/sold on the Auction House.

Comment by Wilhelm1135

Confirmed on the blizzard armory profile to be bought with "Love is in the Air" currency.

Comment by forever42

The Swift Lovebird will be available during the Love is in the Air event, purchasable for 270 tokens.

Comment by Leafthrower

This mount will probably look like Mazzranache.

Comment by mekikya

If you want to see what the new birds look like go to battle.net...log in and see your "not collected mounts" there is no picture to start but if you mouse over you can see previews for each one...Springstrider is white, Swift Lovebird is Pink, Shorestrider is Blue, and the Foreststrider is purple...

Comment by Kalyssa

Doing the dailies every day will grant you 420 love tokens by the end of it.

You need 270 tokens for the Lovebird. So you will have extra to spend on the other items. Also, love tokens can be in the heart-shaped box

Comment by Sulphuric

It's not BoP so you can sell these.

Comment by Shazzo

Good farm spot!
Just above ICC there is a boss called Rokir, a small Orc DK, he has lots of adds, fly around there and you will find 2 other spots with look a like mobs and mini bosses, then fly around there and farm all three places at the same time.
The respawn delay is approximately 10 seconds or so I think and spawn Co-ords are 55,80. Good luck!

Comment by Mightyrahiem

I tried farming Rokir's adds like Shazzo said, I didn't have nearly the success he was talking about.
I was only getting about 1 charm per pile of adds. Either I'm doing it wrong or the best place to farm charms is in the halls of lightning.

Comment by Prinbball

You can actually get at least 30 Love Tokens a day.
20 from turning in a bracelet to every capital city leader (4 cities x 5 Love Tokens per city)
5 from Crown Chemical Company (putting perfume/cologne or giving chocolate to 10 people)
5 from Uldum daily
+ Any you get from doing the SFK boss

That's atleast 30 a day and at the pace in 14 days you get 420, more than enough for you Lovebird.

Comment by Hashupa

Seems like you can get roughly 40 love tokens a day. (Without putting in extra effort to farm more bracelets)
So it seems this mount takes about 7 days of dailies if you include the tokens inside the heart shaped box.

I would suggest doing this on ALL alts, as this mount is NOT BoP, so it will be worth quite a bit after the holiday is over.

Comment by Mahweij

So after farming about 5 - 6 hours of Lovely Charm Bracelets in "Aldu'thar" in Icecrown I finally got the bird ;)

Good luck to everyone else grinding it! :)

Comment by Brosky

This is NOT Bind on Pickup meaning you could sell it for an exorbitant amount of cash.

Comment by Thegreatt

Head over to Throne of the Tides normal mode to farm this, easily the best place I've seen. just clear the first 2 bosses, then start heading to Ozumat, but dont clear the last 2 elementals guarding the gate, instead head back 30-40 feet and kill the respawning little adds, i was getting 100 in 5-6 minutes of farming. Good luck! WARNING the mobs do give a stacking debuff for 250 nature damage per second, per stack. For me the debuff wasn't a huge problem, but for other classes, melee especially it might be an issue. Just watch out for it, and let it drop off if it goes over 6-7 stacks.

Comment by editrx

Since Love is in the Air is coinciding with the Darkmoon Faire right now, I discovered:

Farming for cloth as a tailor + Potion of Treasure Finding = gold + cloth + greens + tiny treasure chests + Grisly Trophies + Lovely Charms.

Win all around.

==================

UPDATE: Per my slightly OCD notes written down last night (Feb 5, 2011), in just 20 min grinding the Schnotz guys below Temple of the Moon -- with the potion on board -- I looted:

2 tiny treasure chests
126 embersilk cloth
1 green item
23 charms
57 gold, 56 silver

The chests contained: 9 gold, 68 silver and 23 copper; 14 embersilk cloth; 6 elementium ores; 1 volatile earth.

I didn't receive any more grisly trophies because I was done with that quest, but when I was grinding with both quests active, I found the ratio of trophies to charms was about 5:1, very roughly.

Comment by Irozal

Information :

- Swift Lovebird can be bough with 270 x Love Token and mailed completely safely.
- Love Token can be bough with 1 x Lovely Charm Bracelet
- Lovely Charm Bracelet can be created with 10 x Lovely Charm.
- Lovely Charm is created to players inventory while player kills appropriate level creature which rewards experience and player has Lovely Charm Collector's Kit.
- Lovely Charm can't be mailed due being BoP or Lovely Charm Bracelet for it being seasonal duration item.

Still, i found a workaround: whilst the Lovely Charm Bracelet are not mailable, wrap them with Blue Ribboned Wrapping Paper (any colour) and the resulting Blue Ribboned Gift is mailable to alts.

Steps :

*Note n.1* 85 lvl druid required for most effective results using following Moonfire macro. *Note n.1*
#showtooltip Moonfire
/targetexact Risen Soldier
/cast Moonfire
*Note n.2* Step n.7 is optional *Note n.2*

1. Get Lovely Charm Collect'rs Kit from Kwee Q. Peddlefeet <Crown Chemical Co.> by accepting A Gift for the King of Stormwind
2. Go to The Fleshworks in Icecrown (37.5,70.8)).
3. Start slaying Risen Soldier.
4. When 2700 x Lovely Charm is created in your inventory, start converting them to 270 x Lovely Charm Bracelet.
5. Go major city and buy from Lovely Merchant <Crown Chemical Co.> 270 x Love Token and with them buy Swift Lovebird.
6. Learn the mount/Sell at Auction house/sent it to other character/delete it/etc. (whichever option fits your mood from all that farming).
7. /e Dances Polka

With around +600 Lovely Charm/per 1 hour if 1-2 competition there, i would say this should be fastest way around (4h 30min to 5 hours) until someone else figures faster way.

*Tip* Partying with others should get faster results *Tip*

Comment by Dreamwing

This mount is currently tradeable and able to be listed on the Auction House.

Comment by Cambra

Afking with a pet on defensive procs the charms. Demo locks will be e-z mode (Halls of Lightning - Normal difficulty, kill past the first boss and reach the slag area)

Also if you feel like being active I might as well contribute that the 2piece warlock t13 set is pretty useful with infernal farming

Edit: Apparently hunter pets don't work but warlock ones do :(, Also don't put on soul link and reforge to all mastery if you're going to invest a lot of AFK'ness into this

Comment by Fleshman

Aw they could have made this look a bit more cooler like a Pink Blood Elf style mount with more fluffly feathers or something this looks like some ostrich lol, still cool though!

Comment by Dawnsnight

I personally believe that Halls of Lightning is the best place to farm for the charms. In The Iron Crucible inside the dungeon there are elemental slags that just keep respawning. Best of luck! I'm getting one for myself then selling one :)

There you go, a video about 2012 farm spot located in Icecrown.
Someone asked the map. Here it is. http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=210:558801

Comment by Jagerfreak

This is what I did which I believe to be one of the easiest ways to farm for the bracelets.

Go to Normal Throne of the Tides which is in Vashj'ir in the Abyssal Depths (To get to zone in you have to swim into the big swirly in the Abyssal Breach). After you zone in you must kill the first boss (Lady Naz'jar) and you can avoid the second one that spawns after (Commander Ulthok) and click the teleport to go back to the beginning. Now the pathway to the last boss will be open (the hallway on the left) and all you need to do is kill the 2 elite water elementals that are in that hallway and stay halfway down the hallway and the smaller water elementals which roughly have over 3k health (3095 to be exact) will continue respawning in groups of 14 or more every 30 seconds. Caution they do blow up giving you a stacking debuff of nature damage but not enough to kill you just pay attention to your health over time. Just keep killing them over and over and it will take you about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to get enough Lovely Charms to make Bracelets to get your Swift Lovebird.

P.S. - This is also a good way to get your grizzly trophies done in less then 10 minutes. (Also if you have this quest it will take priority over the charms so if you want charms more abandon your trophy quest, or just get the trophy quest over with quickly :)...)

Comment by Tamika

Here's the macro you can use to track how many Lovely Charm you still need to farm for your mount. Change the number 270 to whatever your goal is if you want to buy pets + whatever.

/run local c,t,b= GetItemCount(49655,true),GetItemCount(49927,true),GetItemCount(49916,true) SendChatMessage(t.."/"..b.."/"..c.." tokens/bracelets/charms farmed, "..(270-t-b)*10-c.. " charms remaining", SAY)

Actually I used GUILD instead of SAY to annoy the crap out of my guildmates, but you can shorten this if you want it to only show info to yourself:

/run local c,t,b= GetItemCount(49655,true),GetItemCount(49927,true),GetItemCount(49916,true) print(t.."/"..b.."/"..c.." tokens/bracelets/charms farmed, "..(270-t-b)*10-c.. " charms remaining")

Comment by Vexryn

The Swift Lovebird is purchased for 270 x Love Token. It is NOT Bind on Pickup, which means you can purchase one for yourself, or for resale. In fact, using the strategy below, you can grind enough to acquire several Swift Lovebirds to sell, which may be especially profitable for resale after the Valentine's Day events are over.

You can collect a Love Token by trading in one Lovely Charm Bracelet at the Lovely Merchant vendor in any major city. The Lovely Charm Bracelet is created by turning in Lovely Charm x10. You can get Lovely Charm by killing mobs appropriate to your level while you have a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit in your inventory, which you also receive by talking to the Lovely Merchant.

Notably, this is the only path to get Love Tokens that is not constrained by dailies; the faster you get your Lovely Charms, the faster you can accumulate your Lovely Charm Bracelets and the your Love Tokens to buy the specialty holiday items.

The best place to use your Lovely Charm Collector's Kit to collect your Lovely Charms is in Throne of the Tides. Leave the zone set to normal mode to speed the process and reduce any damage taken.

After killing the first two bosses, go back to the entrance and head up the left corridor towards Ozumat. In the hallway there, kill the Unstable Corruption mobs that continuously spawn. They can be AoE killed quickly (only about 3k health!), even solo, by almost any class, and each one that dies has a chance to leave a Lovely Charm. You will have to kill the Tainted Sentry mobs in the front and middle of the hallway first to clear room to kill the Tainted Sentrys. However, be careful not to kill the two Tainted Sentry that are standing at the end of the hallway before Ozumat; once those die, the Unstable Corruptions stop spawning.

Depending on how quickly your class can AoE farm here, you can easily pick up 500+ Lovely Charms per hour; some classes report farming almost 1,000/hour. You will likely need a group to help you kill the first two bosses, though.

(Note: Technically, you only have to kill the first boss, Lady Naz'jar, and activate the control panel, to open up Ozumat's hallway to access the Unstable Corruptions. After using the control panel, the 2nd boss Commander Ulthok will spawn, but you can move around the outer edge of the wall to avoid him and reach the teleporter back to the main entrance of the instance, allowing you access to Ozumat's hallway.)

Comment by Ralziel

Just done this via the Halls of Lightning on my 85 warrior tank. Just kill the slagg there as they spawn faster than most other sorts of mobs and as long as you don't fanny about with bosses or pulling all in one go, just take one side at a time, it's pretty quick with instant respawns.

Took a little over 2 hours for the 2700 charms which have been converted and I've sent the mount to the wife as an early birthday present. Also recommended if your other half is bothered about valentines day and into that mount collecting business.

I wouldn't recommend, however, doing it this way unless you have something like charge or blink as the slowing effect can be a bit of a pain unless you can shoot around to new sets of mobs quickly.

Great way to get this mount if you'd rather spend your time hitting things with a pointy stick instead of spraying perfume on people for 2 weeks.

Comment by snigelmannen

A macro to calculate the progress, there might be some small issues with my math, but it seems to work perfectly for me :)

/run goal,charm,bracelet,token=270,GetItemCount(49655,true),GetItemCount(49916,true),GetItemCount(49927,true);print(string.format("Goal: %d/%d, Tokens: %d, Charms: %d, Bracelets: %d",(token+bracelet+(charm/10)),goal, token, charm, bracelet));

Comment by Kymaera

That is the most ugly and scary mount i've ever seen lol

Comment by ApostlezSarg

Considering this mount is unique, is it possible to learn it and then continue to farm it to buy another one? Or are you unable to purchase one once it has been learned?

EDIT: I've discovered that you CAN have another mount in your inventory even though it is unique. Good thing because I was worried I might not be able to farm anymore after I'd already learned it!

Comment by ovenomojr

Farming place----
if you go into throne of the tides at 85 with a mate clear the first boss and get your mate to log off,
then go downstairs and go to the room with the blue elementals kill the 2 big ones but leave the 2 by the far end alone they will stop spawning adds uppon death. finally go into the pool and kill them all with an aoe and repeat i think the spawn is 10 seconds and i farmed all 2.7k of hearts in about 3 hours.
happy hunding

Comment by Rilandune

This is one of the ugliest mounts I've ever seen.

I think I need to get it.

Comment by nosaj4

Just started grinding in Icecrown Glacier on the Converted Heroes and I was getting both Grisly Trophies and the charms.

Comment by Frozenhades

"Frozenhades mounts his trusted steed, the Swift Lovebird, and proudly strides onto the field of battle in Alterac Valley."

/shakes head

I just couldn't do it.

Comment by aidyTM

Can confirm Throne of the Tides as a brilliant place for farming Lovely Charm.

Struggling to decide whether or not to keep the little guy once I've bought it though, it's not exactly the prettiest of mounts.

Comment by MoarHeroisms

I propose an achievement for this mount: . Let's make it happen!

Comment by vegta

Took me about 1 hour and a half to get 1000 Lovely Charm as a prot pally at the throne of tides killing the smaller water elements. Just sat in the puddle in the room at where they spawn 1 Hammer of the Righteous and killed them all worked wonders way faster then slags. Also used the seal Seal of Insight to keep my health up from the dots you get when they die.

Comment by Challock

People going on about other places than the Throne of Tides, just stop. Go there and give it a go. I've gotten 300 charms in about 13 minutes, clearly, there wont be a better place to farm for tokens.

If youre a DK/Paladin/Druid and maybe a warrior, go tank specc and you can solo the first boss in normal, bypass the second and then just spam aoe on the Unstable Corruptions leading up to the final boss of the dungeon. Just make sure NOT to kill the Tainted Sentrys at the end, or they will stop spawning.

Comment by TooTrue

If you cannot tank Throne of the Tides to get to the corrupted elementals (which is the fastest way), you can do this: Use Shazzo's technique, but with a different style. What I did is alternated between Sapph and Rokir in Icecrown (Sapph: 60, 68 - Rokir: 50, 58). They are really close together, so fly to one of them after taking out the other's mobs. Repeat. In the time doing so, when you go back to the other one, they should have just spawned, so now you get double the lovely charms and a faster way to get the mount. After about 10 minutes I had almost 100 lovely charms. Enjoy farming your charms and good luck getting the mount!

Comment by pynkskyn

This mount is BoE, and can be sold/traded over the AH.

HOWEVER

It will not be cheap. Currently on my server there are two for sale, for about 24k apiece. As a comparison, the Hyacinth Macaw is going for 26k.

Farming is probably your best bets for getting one of these, as long as the holiday is running.
edit: By the 13th (today), the price is down to 17k, which is a bit less than a Mechanohog. Though I would assume the price would go back up when the holiday ends.

Comment by dumac

Brand new mount who cost quite a sum of love marks to obtain. Here is my strategy for this.

There is 2 dailies, 4 dailes for each faction leader and once a day random dungeon to kill the three bad undead in shadowfang keep. To que talk to dungeonmaster and then just use lfd. Also one lovely charm bracer is worth one mark.

City dailes(5x2):

The q giver is located in all 4 cities, due I am alliance i will give alliance route. SW trade district, at bank. Faction leader daily also at same spot with the other two dailies.

-use sample on ten people, those with heart cannot be sprayed with q item. Different type of products but same method.
- kill 5 tech and destroy a wagon with bomb in uldum, the q place is north east in uldum and at the border. Just check map if un-sure.

Faction leader daily, can be traded to all 4 leaders(5x4):

You will need 1 lovely charm bracer per turn in, you will also get a card who buff a certain stat. Throw it away or use if you like. So 4 bracer needed.

-SW, take q at trade district bank. Turn in at varian.
-IF, q at IF bank. Turn in at king.
-Darnassus, go to tree bank in middle, go near fishing trainer. In middle q giver. Turn in at temple, second floor elune.
-Exodar, go outside the city and near entrance. You will find q giver, run in and turn in at prophet in light section of the city.

Dungeon, three undead in SFK, crown...(6-9):

Talk to dungeon master, que for dungeon, kill them. Use cologne and perfume and avoid standing in spot of either. After death you get a chocolate box, in it contains a rare with love chance of dropping(depends on item) and always a few marks. Marks various between 6-9 per box.

Lovely charm bracer:

It is used for faction dailies and turn in at vendor for one mark. Once you accept a faction daily, you should get a box on your first time. With this box you get a chance on getting a charm then you kill an xp or honor worth enemy, you need to land killing blow. The charm appear automatically in your bag, so not looted and also they drop not too often. With ten charms you can use them and transform one lovely charm bracer. The charm stack to 40, the lovely bracer does not stack. So to save space keep charm and transform at need to a bracer.

You can buy bracer from people with trade, so it could be wise to do that if you do not wish to spend time on hunting down mobs.

two good spots to farm:

-Go to throne of tides on normal setting, kill first boss and avoid second. Go to the elemental room before ozumat and kill the low hp mobs, they spawn fast and will generate many charms per hour.
-Go to Hall of lighting in ulduar on normal, go pass first boss and just before second boss. Kill slags, they respawn also fast and should be green at 85.

How to plan this?

Well the low ammount of marks per day without vendor turn in is:

(5x2)+(5x4)+6=10+20+6=36 marks, while highest is 10+20+9=39 marks.

Now you need to know the day left, so take todays date and last day of event. This year it would be 18/2-12/2, 18-12=6 days to go.

You need 270 marks for mount so take lowest possible per day to get number of days left needed:

Marks times days=36x6=216 marks.

Needed marks minus marks have=270-216=54 left to gain.

Get 54 bracer and turn in at vendor.
Mind this is the lowest possible outcome, but you could perhaps need less if you lucky in the dungeon.

The route:
You will need HS in darna or exodar, two cloaks of guild for fast teleport to SW(three possible).
Start in SW and pick up dailes. Use sample on people, then done go to teleport island and head to uldum. Do the kill crown and bomb a wagon. Use a cloak and be back in SW. Turn in at king now and head to dwarf dstrict and use the tram. Then in IF head to bank and pick up daily and turn in at king. Use your HS to either darna or exodar, I use darna. THen in darna head to q giver near tree bank and turn in at priestess at temple. Jump down and use portal exodar, go outside and take q. Head back in and ride to prophet at light section. Use LFD at anytime, as a tank I do it at end. Now use second cloak and be back in SW.

Comment by LionsMike

I wish there was a way to post a reply to a reply. One player claimed that getting charms was easy in th Throne of Tides. To him I would like to say that running a full 26 mile marathon in 2 hrs 20 minutes is very very easy. getting a perfect score in SATs is very easy..

I spent a couple of hours (yes I am stoborn) in the throne and got exactly zero charms. You do the math is zero per decade or century any where near 200 per hour.

I could not survive through the first mobs to see if any of the other mobs (the 3k ones) even existed in there.I could not get them down to 75% before they killed me.

Comment by Rezzelyn

For those of you who are 58+, go to Outlands and fly to Thrallmar. As you exit the gates of Thrallmar, turn left and keep walking until you see imps, elementals, and demons. The imps are grouped in 3s (two black, one red) and they will yield 1-2 Lovely Charms per group. They die easily and respawn quickly. By the time you've kill imps from one end of the green-cracked trail to the other, half the area has respawned already. I've collected 80+ Charms by clearing the area twice.

I've been farming every day, and I hope to be able to buy this awesome mount on the last day of the v-day event!

Comment by 2avaj06

Comment by XkcdofDentarg

Not sure if anyone said it already, so I'll say it again,
This mount is not BoP.
Even if you don't get it from the tokens, you may be able to snag one off the AH.
On Dentarg US, the last time I checked the buyout price was 10k, meaning this has already dropped in price to under that of the Mekingeer's Chopper.

Comment by faaty

can you sell this mount after the event ends?

Comment by celexis17

Hmmm....I feel like Blizz could've been a bit more creative with a "Valentine-style" mount. I pictured a lovebird being a bit more flashy, not...ewh...

Comment by aarc2417

also should be noted that if you plan to grind for this to sell on Ah your toon should atleast be 20 i grind on my lvl2 bank alt and cant buy itfrom vendor

Comment by wintersword

I just spent all week grinding charms to do the dailies and I got... an ugly pink chicken :|
Not sure it was worth all the trouble

Comment by havoklimit

I can 100% confirm that you can purchase a 2nd Swift Lovebird on the same character even after you have purchased/learned the 1st Swift Lovebird.

I accidentally added the Swift Lovebird to my collection of mounts when I still had an extra 90 Love Tokens toward a second mount. I decided to go ahead and farm the rest of the tokens to see if I could purchase the mount, and luckily I wasn't disappointed, lol.

Comment by ZeniaChan

I just got this mount, literally just 10 minutes before the event ended. I had spent nearly all evening farming Lovely Charm from the large groups of infinitely respawning Anvilrage Reservist in Blackrock Depths (The Lyceum) on my level 60 Belf Priest. They're level 52-53 and just barely green at level 60, they're weak, they die fast, and they attack in large groups (in other words, very much the ideal for farming charms) and they only give about 2 xp per kill if you're level 60, so you'd more than likely be in no danger of leveling out of their green range. I was getting those charms FAST, at over 100 charms per hour (probably around 10-15 bracelets per hour on average. 10 charms = 1 bracelet.)

I probably farmed like 1.5k Lovely Charms today... (heh, I know, right? What is sleep?) I made so many of them, just to exchange the bracelets directly for tokens. The reason I had to do it this way was because I hadn't had time to finish the dailies on every day of the event, and I was focused on getting the Lovely Black Dress too, which took several tries (at 20 Love Tokens a try...ouch!) but thankfully I got lucky on that one, too.

Since I was going solo (I didn't have anyone to run me) I took a shortcut to get to the Lyceum in BRD for charm farming. I discovered it completely by accident, but I don't think it would be easy (or even possible) for a class without a bubble or heals to pull this off, unless maybe you can get massively stacked on fire resistance gear. Use the mole machine to get to "outside the Grim Guzzler," and then jump off the platform so you fall past Lord Incendius and into the lava pit below. You'll probably land on a rock which will damage you really badly from the fall, so heal up before proceeding. Swim into the lava and head north, and watch out for the Fireguard elementals in there. Bubble shields can absorb the lava burn damage, and you can sometimes jump in and out of the lava to avoid the burn effect, but not always. (glitch maybe?) Be ready to heal/bubble at all times when swimming, and take shelter on a rock ledge if you need to mana up or rest. There'll be a place called the Molten Bridge not too far upstream...climb out where it lets you, and watch out for the 3 Fireguards on it (fight them if you have to,) and go straight up the big ramp (where the quest NPC is) and turn right, and open the big double doors. That's the Lyceum room where I was farming the Reservists. Just thought I'd share this info!

Comment by Avalionis

love how people are charging nearly 60k for this, when people are barely willing to spend more than 5k for it. come July/August, you MIGHT get around 20k for it...but even then, it's asking alot for a naked bird mount.

Comment by aksu1998

Great mount

Comment by Alfa

I farmed 9 of these during the holiday(learned one), I seen one on the ah for 1499g. I am pretty sure they missed another 9, so I bought it and sold 3 for 10-12k during the holiday. Now, I am still trying to see 6 of these.

Thought it was gonna be big sales!

4 Strider-Mounts?

What glory awaits us?
Swift Forest Strider

Swift Shorestrider
Swift Springstrider

Comment by Geyah

A mount fit for J. Alfred Prufrock ;)

Comment by Wescman

MoP is coming, and mounts are going Account Wide. I made a little list of mounts, so you can show off how epic you are, starting at levels as low as 20. This list is meant for mounts you can achieve in-game without buying them from the Blizzard Store, as all of those can be used at 20. I have not included the TCG mounts, as those don't really show, "Feats of Strength" either.

Obtaniable In-Game

Crimson Deathcharger
Headless Horseman's Mount
Big Love Rocket
Golden King (Alliance)
Kor'kran Annihalator (Horde)
Swift Springstrider
Swift Lovebird
Darkmoon Dancing Bear
Swift Forest Strider
Invincible

There are, of course, all of the capital city faction mounts as well.

Recruit a Friend, Scroll of Resurrection, and Big Blizzard Bear mounts are all usable at 20 as well.

Please comment mistakes or tell me if I missed anything. : )

Comment by Crystufer

Anyone else think this should be a two seater?

Comment by jd812

well swift lovebird is still purchasable in 5.1 for 270 love tokens just like last year. But if your server is anything like mine the market will be saturated with these for months to come.

Comment by loozerr

During current Valentine's event this mount is gradually becoming more and more worthless due to easy token farm with Skiggit. So don't buy any from AH just yet.

Comment by Superchief

Where is the Slow Lovebird?

Comment by Wraide

:D It's Mazzaranche but rideable

Comment by chaosmunki

My friends and I found a great spot for farming these in Deepholm at Verlok Stand. 71, 25 is where a bridge starts and all the way out and back the mobs respawn super quick and do in fact give charms. Good luck.

Comment by ziva1991

Today i was in Throne of the Tides HC. As a level 90 Nightelf druid. (boomkin)
There i killed Lady Naz'jar and Commander Ulthok.
Then i went to the water elementals and noticed they still drop Lovely Charm!
You will need 10 of them to create Lovely Charm Bracelet. Each bracelet can be turned in for Love Token.

So if you are after the Swift Lovebird you will need 2700 Lovely Charm. That sounds like alot.
But i had my mount in like 2 hours or so.

Here is a macro i used to see how much i needed to get my mount :

/run local c,t,b= GetItemCount(49655,true),GetItemCount(49927,true),GetItemCount(49916,true) SendChatMessage(t.."/"..b.."/"..c.." tokens/bracelets/charms farmed, "..(270-t-b)*10-c.. " charms remaining", YELL)

I also used another macro wich created the braclet for me and also turned them in for a Love token.
(be sure vendor window is open)

#show Lovely Charm
/use Lovely Charm
/run BuyMerchantItem(1,1)

I hope you guys can do something with my post.
This is my one of my first post ever and i hope this will work for you as good as it worked for me!

And have fun with your new mount!

So... this is my daily grind farming for this thing. On my 90 mage, who has completed all the quests in Twilight Highlands.
I start in Org and get the three quests there. The crushing the crown one, the samples ones, and the bracelet for the warchief one. I then go to Uldum and do crushing the crown. I don't kill more mobs than necessary for the quests. In my experience, charms do not drop from them very well.
You can omit the next two steps if:
1) You're exalted with Hellscream's Reach, because I port to Tol Barad Penn next and do those dailies, the mobs there also drop charms
And 2) If you've farmed enough charms because for this step you can farm like a week worth of charms in 2hrs. No exaggeration.
I port back to Org, turn in crushing the crown and take the portal to Twilight Highlands. I fly up to Crushblow and the area right between the two bases (horde and alliance) --called something gate or gate something, I can't think of it right now... anyway, there are groups of about 6 or so mobs all fighting npcs.
All I did was make a path, starting from where horde enters, going over to where alliance enters, going down south and making a circle back up to where horde enters. I ran in, AoE'd them all and got at LEAST 3 charms per group. No exaggeration.
One night, I started at approx 1:30am, by the time I quit for bed a little after 2 (so approximately 45mins) I had 4 stacks of 40 charms. Yes, I had some before by doing the crushing the crown and the Tol Barad dailies. But not very many. The respawn rate of the mobs here are nuts. I never had to sit around and wait. And with a quick fly to pop over between longer distances, blink between shorter, the travel time was basically nil. Grabbing aggro off the npcs is easy so if the groups are close enough you can AoE down two or three at a time. And AoEing around the opposite faction groups does not flag you so you don't have to worry about killing unnecessary mobs.
So, after I had all my charms the first place I would port is Silvermoon. You have to run out of the port room, go get the bracelet quest and run back. On my way back I would give the samples to all the guards standing outside his building in a line. Run in, give him the bracelet and take the portal to UC. Not my own portal, the portal upstairs.
The reason behind this was when you use mage port you end up down in UC and have to go all the way back up and outside to get the quest. If you use the SMC port, you end up outside UC in the ruins, grab the quest on your way in, go down to Sylvanas and turn it in. Then I would port to TB, grab the quest, fly up and turn that in.
I would port back to Org, having already got the quest I would give him the bracelet and turn both the samples quest and that one in. Then I would have ended up where I started, ready to grab all three quests the next day.
Then, if I had farmed more than enough bracelets, it only takes me literally like 15mins (including kill time of the heavily farmed Uldum area) to do all 6 quests just porting from place to place. And if I farmed enough charms I skipped the Tol Barad dailies and therefore didn't have to make that extra port to Org.
After I get my own, I am SO farming this next year for profit to sell on the AH. Hahaha.
Happy hunting all and sorry for the lack of specific details, spelling mistakes and grammar bla bla bla... it's 3am and I'm very tired. Just tried to get this all down before I forgot to do it at all, because it just might help someone. :)

I finally got one. Now I never need to save up those stupid tokens again.

Comment by TheZoog

I tried everything everyone suggested. At level 90, by !FAR! the best place I found was in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms on the Emperors Approach on a daily quest called "Unleashed Spirits". These ladies run down the hill in groups of around 6 to 10 or so, and there are 3 to 8 groups running past you at almost all times. That means almost ZERO respawn time. You can't possibly gather up every group if you tried! But what you will do is gather up 2 or 3, and they go down with one or two hits. Every 10 kills yields approximately 4 charms, so when you are nuking a big group all you constantly hear is "dink-dink-dink-dink!" I got 360 charms in about 40 minutes of semi-lazy farming and I'm convinced that a few of you could perhaps get close to 1000 in a good hour. You'll want to bring a lot of bag-space to store your charm-booty yaarrr!

You'll find that the Spirits spawn from several locations and all sort of funnel down the road so if you just go halfway between the outlet of the Golden Stair and the big tree in the five-way crossroad down the hill they mostly run right past you, and they aggro from a long distance away making aoe-ing easy and quick. Or... for max-farming, stand directly below the outlet of the Golden Stair, but beware: you'll build up to 50 of them on you at times. I got 60 charms to drop in a few minutes at this point but it got a bit hairy.

Oh yah, and I've yet to see a single other person farming here. Just don't turn in the quest and you can grind the 2700 charms you need for your mount whenever you want. I bet most of you could grind a mount per day and a dedicated few could prolly grind a few mounts in a day. Which means you should do eet quick before Blizz hotfixes this one.

Comment by NefertumWoW

Since the Throne of the Tides farming area was hotfixed, there's another good place to kill mobs at, and that's the Stormstout Brewery. Kill the rats after the 1st boss at the last door before the 2nd boss, the rats will walk to you and just do some nice aoe to them, took me around 3 hours to farm the mount overall.

A Plainstrider that is pink and a mount?

MADNESS!

Comment by Rakenaid

As of 2/12/2014 Unstable Corruption within Throne of the Tides will no longer grant you Lovely Charm!

However, there is a new spot to farm Lovely Charm from Hopling and Bopper within Stormstout Brewery

The Strategy:

For the love of all things (no pun intended) don't forget to get a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit prior to starting this farm!

You will need to clear your way to Ook-Ook by killing the two Sodden Hozen Brawler and the three Inflamed Hozen Brawler. Note that these Inflamed Hozen Brawler can inflict Fiery Illusion which may be troublesome for casters.

You will have to kill a total of 40 Hozen before Ook-Ook will spawn. Use Rolling Barrel which will deal Brew Explosion to whatever you crash into, thus significantly speeding up this process.

Once Ook-Ook spawns go ham on him. Watch out for his frontal Ground Pound which is avoidable by simple moving out from the front of him. He also stacks Going Bananas so down him as quickly as possible.

After downing Ook-Ook proceed to the stairs where you will find Hopling, Bopper and occassionally a Hopper. You can stand at the base of the steps (the area right out side of Ook-Ook's crashed party and farm them. Countless Lovely Charm from these little guys and they are easy to down.

Hopper uses Explosive Brew which could be a minor setback for casters however they are not as common as the Hopling and Bopper

Should you hapen to get overwhelmed with Hopling's and Bopper's just Smash! them by using a Big Ol' Hammer to send them flying to the heavens. However doing this will not grant any Lovely Charm.

If you engage Hoptallus this will cease the endless spawn of Hopling and Bopper.

Be prepared for a hefty repair bill. Roughly 1% armor degradation per minute farming here. Jeeves would be handy, but nonetheless you can head to town to repair and convert Lovely Charm to Lovely Charm Bracelet and turn them in for Love Token which stack up to 250.

Downing Ook-Ook will not save you to this instance. Should you happen to zone out, use your Hearthstone or log out you will have to restart the entire process from scratch!

I am currently able to solo and farm this on my 90 Rogue using Fan of Knives and Crimson Tempest while keeping Recuperate up via Glyph of Deadly Momentum.

10 minutes = 100 Lovely Charm
30 minutes = 300 Lovely Charm

Don't forget to do the Daily Quests as they will each grant you with 5xLove Token which equate to 50xLovely Charm. You can earn a total of 30xLove Token a day which = 300xLovely Charm!

I will continue to update this as I farm more information.

Comment by Soybeanie

I saw this up for 7k a few weeks before the event. I thought, hey, if it's 7k now just wait til there's the new supply later during the event! WRONG, they're all 14k buyout. Why? I got my own, and it took several hours. But not enough to justify 14k in the pockets of greedy people..
