  • Shattrath City

    February brings love to the air in Azeroth. Players can take their chances pledging devotion. Will their love be returned, or will hearts be broken? Shattrath City is decorated with wreaths and heart-shaped garlands.

  • Orgrimmar

    Orgrimmar really goes all out for Valentine's Day with red lights and hearts galore. In order to engage in the seasonal quests, the character must travel to a major city other than Shattrath. Orgrimmar is a major seasonal area for the Horde.

  • Kwee Q. Peddlefeet critter pet

    Players can get special arrows from NPCs by giving love tokens. Shooting a seasonal arrow at another player will cause them to get a Kwee Q. Peddlefeet critter pet.

  • Orgrimmar Innkeeper

    The Orgrimmar Innkeeper is your first stop when playing love's games.

  • Orgrimmar Barkeeper

    The Orgrimmar Barkeeper inside the inn uses seasonal decorations to keep his customers happy.

  • Seasonal options

    The Orgrimmar Innkeeper has special seasonal dialog.

  • Seasonal items

    The Orgrimmar Innkeeper sells perfume for the ladies, cologne for the men, and love tokens which can be passed out.

  • Love guide

    The Orgrimmar Innkeeper will help you maneuver love's tricky game.

  • Kwee Q. Peddlefeet

    Kwee Q. Peddlefeet himself visits the faction leaders this time of year. Look for him in your faction leader's chambers.

  • Popularity contest

    Players can vote for their favorite leaders by turning gifts in to Kwee Q. Peddlefeet. Current contest standings are always available by asking Kwee Q. Peddlefeet.

  • Kwee Q. Peddlefeet

    A close-up of Kwee Q. Peddlefeet reveals that he is a goblin. Maybe this really is just a Venture Company holiday.

  • Looking for love

    In order to see which NPCs are looking for love, a character must don perfume or cologne depending on gender. Once gussied up, hearts will appear over the heads of those who are "Looking for love".

  • Love tokens

    Talking to one of these NPCs offers the player a chance to give a love token. Will your love be returned, or will your heart be broken?

  • Gifts of adoration

    When you give a love token, your love may be returned in the form of a gift of adoration. Many seasonal items such as chocolates, friendship bracelets, and cards come as gifts of adoration.

  • Heartbroken

    If your love is not returned, you will become heartbroken for sixty minutes. This can be dispelled by a gift of a friendship bracelet from a friendly player.

  • Lunar Festival

    Love is not the only thing in the air this time of year. The Lunar Festival in Moonglade also brings sparks to the atmosphere in the form of fireworks!

  • First Lunar Festival quest

    In Orgrimmar, the Lunar Festival emissaries are stationed outside Thrall's chamber. A quest is available that will award a Lunar Festival Invitation -- and a free port to Moonglade.

  • Fireworks

    To get your Lunar Festival Invitation you will need to purchase fireworks from a nearby vendor and launch them from nearby firework and cluster launchers.

  • Elders

    The Lunar Festival is a time to pay homage to the elders. Coins of Ancestry are awarded to those who take the time to honor the elders. These special coins can be used in Nighthaven in Moonglade to purchase special Lunar Festival items.

  • Use the invitation

    Use the Lunar Festival Invitation while standing in the moonlight by the emissaries and you will be ported to the festival.

  • Welcome to the Lunar Festival

    Enjoy launching fireworks purchased from the festival vendors.

  • Revelers

    Each major city has revelers at the festival. Take some time to hang out and dance with them. Before you leave, follow the red lanterns to the flight master or head into the town of Nighthaven to cash in your Coins of Ancestry.

Shattrath City

February brings love to the air in Azeroth. Players can take their chances pledging devotion. Will their love be returned, or will hearts be broken? Shattrath City is decorated with wreaths and heart-shaped garlands.
