Just tried on my 98 Shaman, and it doesn't show up on my dungeon queue. Going to try again at 99.
Come on Blizz, why in the world is the holiday boss not personal loot? Why must we try again and again to out roll the greedy kiddies that need on everything?
I'd like to assert that not only do you not need to strike the killing blow to get Lovely Charm to drop, you don't even need to damage the mob - or even be in combat with it at all! I'm currently in a rep group for Arakkoa Outcasts in Lost Veil Anzu, and I took a minute to use my repair mount, and while I'm repairing with my bags open, my group is still killing mobs (away from me, I was out of combat), and two charms just appeared straight in my bags.
Took no time to farm 40 Lovely Charm on Timeless Isle. Was pretty deserted on my server (Thunderhorn).
I completely forgot about this holiday and its dungeon for free epix :( Only 2 level 100 and rest are 96,95,91.
I swear at one point (level 80 maybe?) you could queue like 5 levels early. Then it was 2. Then 1. Now it appears you have to be 100.Lighten up a little Blizzard. The boss is super easy, the necks are a better upgrade the sooner you can queue, and the rocket is ridiculously low drop rate so we could all use the chances.Talk about 'nerfing fun'.
Man on the Inside was not offered to me upon completion of A Friendly Chat.... However I was able to queue up for SFK and get Faded Lovely Greeting Card to complete Something is in the Air (and it Ain't Love).
Totally not happy with the love ray achievements, instead of removing the CD on the item, they increased it. And is also very annoying if people leave group after you use all the charges on them. These achievements needs a redesign!
Interestingly, the Lovely Orgrimmar Card (agility stat buff) is still signed by Garrosh.
Quick question: I ran the holiday boss this morning on my druid. Can I run it again today with someone else who hasn't done it yet? I know I wouldn't get any loot, I just want to help them out.
If you aren't yet Exalted with Emperor Shaohao from Timeless Isle, now would be a good excuse to get started/finish.Getting your 40 Lovely Charms is easy.While getting your Charms, pick up the daily quest "Path of the Mistweaver" and a weekly quest "Empowering the Hourglass" and the other weekly to kill 5 rares.Go up and kill all the "Ordon" NPCs, fast and simply. Plus you get a lot of gear, cloth, motes of harmony and other stuff.
I've found an amazing spot for multitask farming, too, at least if youhave a strong AoE damage ability. My personal favorite combo for this grind is Arcane Explosion with the Glyph of Arcane Explosion.Killing Riot Blossoms and Swamplighter Drones along Swamplighter Trail in Shadowmoon Valley awards both the Lovely Charms and Bodyguard reputation, with no Botani interference if you remain in this Trail and don't cross over the river. One full circuit along each side of the trail, into the cave, and up around the hillock at the north end takes only 3 to 3 1/2 minutes and has almost fully respawned by the time you get back around to your starting point. Thirty minutes of grinding (appx 12-15 passes) will max your follower rep to Personal Wingman and give you roughly 50-60 charms on each pass.Just be nice to any 90s questing there who need these mobs and the Swamplighter Queen for Fiona's quest chain; let them tag the bee before you burn it down.
So, basically you're telling me, that I got excited to do the dungeon questline for nothing. I'm sitting here thinking, finally I'll be able to fully participate in one holiday questline because I finally have a character high enough to do so. Then Sorry, level requirements for the dungeons have been pushed up, but not to 90, to 100. I don't have the update yet, I can't reach level 100. While I can pay the monthly subscription, I can't yet pay for WoD. It was something I was planning on obtaining with my Income tax. This sucks.
The artwork is awesome - that devilish girl is marvelous!Will You Marry Me?
Small typo at the beginning of the "Seasonal Goodies" section: "in our question section" should read "in our questing section".Love the guide artwork!Thanks for the guide. Well done. As usual. :)
I'm rather liking the use effect for the necklaces (even if it is just Love Rockets).Also it's a shame on the heirlooms. Guess I'll be aggressively farming next year but for now I'll just farm for a few pets.
