How To: Fool for Love 2010 Acheivements

Blizzard has made the event essentially, idiot proof. So obviously I had a hard time with it but through my many epic failures I’ve learned a few things of which I will now pass on to you my little zygotes.

You can get everything you need with Love Tokens. It’s the new currency for the event. You get them by doing a few daily quests all around the world. You can turn in a Lovely Charm Bracelet to each faction leader once per day for 5 tokens (so that’s 20 a day from there) and you can do a Goblin guy daily once a day for another 5. Then there’s the whole over-arching quest line involving the new mini-boss in Shadowfang Keep which is a trio of alchemists that do some silly AOE shit with perfume and cologne.

Anyway here’s the fastest way to get these tokens by yourself period. At level 80 you can do many different things to quickly farm tokens which can be used for the world event or sold in the AH, whichever you prefer. Running over skeletons in the Argent Tournament daily quest in front of Icecrown Citadel  will get you a bunch of tokens for little effort but there is risk involved as getting pounded by the riders and gargoyles can ruin your fun. I found it best to lose them as I ran up the stairs leading to the ICC raid portal.

Getting in a small group and simply clearing endless trash in Ulduar’s siege area before Flame Leviathan is also one of the fastest and easiest ways to get the job done. But once again, there’s risk here that you have to share the killing blows with other people and at the same time your vehicle will eventually die, or maybe you’ll over aggro and be screwed.

The best way to get these all alone is to take the infra-green bombing run daily quests and simply never turn it in. You’ll get tokens for the mobs you bomb on the ground and the mobs you shoot out of the sky and there really isn’t much of a requirement other than being 80 to do it. You don’t share the kills, the respawns are nigh instant, and if your skip gets killed you’ll be safely taken back to the platform for a fresh one.

All the achievements for the event and your title are pretty self explanatory and all hinge on you having enough tokens to buy what you need to get them accomplished. Happy hunting kids.
