omething is in the air in the major cities of Azeroth. Some call it love, and some just call it friendship and admiration. Whichever it is, many guards and townsfolks now spend their days giving and receiving tokens and gifts to other amorous citizens.
The more skeptical, however, are suspicious of the strange "love sickness" clouding the hearts of so many. Will this widespread occurrence be simply taken as a recent outbreak of amore? Or will our brave adventurers find a sinister plot behind the source of this plague of passion? Only time will tell...
Also new to this year's Love is in the Air celebration is the of a special, event-only boss located in Shadowfang Keep - Apothecary Hummel! This boss can be battled upon completion of a short quest chain, though it is likely that the first step need not be completed and you can just accept the quest outside of Shadowfang Keep and zone in to complete it. This boss will most likely require a decently geared 5-man group to defeat, but this section will be updated with as much information about the boss as possible.
Man on the Inside or Man on the Inside Start:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt End: Investigator Fezzen Brasstacks
After completing the quest A Friendly Chat... (Alliance version), you will receive Snivel's Ledger to return to Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt. Upon doing so, you will be able to obtain this quest, asking you to head out to Shadowfang Keep and speak to Investigator Fezzen Brasstacks.
You've Been Served Start: Investigator Fezzen Brasstacks End: Apothecary Hummel
Investigator Fezzen Brasstacks will give you a Court Subpoena to serve to Apothecary Hummel, located deep inside Shadowfang Keep. The Standard Apothecary Serving Kit he gives also includes two items which are used in the fight against the Apothecary and his minions. This quest can be completed once per day, similar to other event boss summons.
Apothecary Hummel and his assistants Baxter and Frye can be found in Shadowfang Keep at the main "outdoor" area of the keep, near the stabled horses. The fight is fairly straightforward, though it could take some getting used to the fight's mechanics. I'll offer more detailed information on the encounter as soon as I've done it first hand. :)
Apothecary Hummel drops epic quality (item level 226) amulets which are the equivalent of Wrath of the Lich King's second tier Emblem of Conquest neckpieces.
Apothecary Hummel also drops some incredibly fun seasonal items, including a fancy rose for your character's hair, a gas mask (YES!), a non-combat oozeling companion, and an item so powerful it can break your heart!
Forever-Lovely Rose
Vile Fumigator's Mask
Toxic Wasteling
The Heartbreaker
As if those things were cool enough, Apothecary Hummel also has an extremely low chance to drop the most stylish flying mount ever - the Big Love Rocket! Good luck!
Quests
2010's Love is in the Air event has been completely re-done, so there are a number of new quests (including daily quests) players can complete to obtain Love Token used to purchase holiday items.
Something is in the Air (and it Ain't Love) or Something is in the Air (and it Ain't Love) Start: Faded Lovely Greeting Card (Not sure where this is obtained yet) End:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt
This quest leads into the event's main questline, in which players aid the Steamwheedle Cartel in trying to thwart the Crown Chemical Co.'s plans to infect all of Azeroth with their perfumed plague (and gain back their established market exploiting holidays for gold)! This quest may not be necessary to start the main questline.
Main Event Questline
A new questline has been added in 2010's Love is in the Air event involving the Steamwheedle Cartel and the Crown Chemical Company. The Steamwheedle Cartel suspects there's something shady about these goblin newcomers, and investigators have been hired to get to the bottom of things - with your help! The final quest of this chain leads directly into the quest unlocking the daily quest to fight Apothecary Hummel, though I am not sure yet if this quest chain is required.
Uncommon Scents or Uncommon Scents Start: Unknown End:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt
This quest asks Horde players to head out to Orgrimmar to find Detective Snap Snagglebolt and let him know you're interested in helping the Steamwheedle Cartel investigate the Crown Chemical Co. and their actions. Alliance players are sent to meet Inspector Snip Snagglebolt in Stormwind City.
Something Stinks or Something Stinks Start & End:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt
The goblin investigator will provide you with Snagglebolt's Air Analyzer which you must use to test the air around 6 heavily perfumed guards found throughout the city. Simply use the item on the guards and return to the investigator.
Pilfering Perfume or Pilfering Perfume Start & End:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt
For this quest, the goblins will have you disguse as a package runner for the Crown Chemical Co., and you must head outside either Orgrimmar or Stormwind City where you'll find a stockpile of the Company's goods. Quickly run by it to have a parcel handed off to you before they notice you aren't really on their side, and bring it back to the investigator.
Snivel's Sweetheart or Fireworks At The Gilded Rose Start:Detective Snap Snagglebolt or Inspector Snip Snagglebolt End:Roka or Marion Sutton
Turns out this crate you retrieved contained some sort of chemical-filled rockets, which the goblins recognize as having been crafted by Snivel Rustrocket. You are sent out to find Snivel's alleged girlfriend to get as much information as you can on his wherabouts. Horde players are sent to Roka, at Gotri's Travelling Goods in Orgrimmar's Drag while Alliance players can find Marion Sutton at the Gilded Rose in Stormwind City's Trade District
Hot On The Trail or Hot On The Trail Start & End:Roka or Marion Sutton
Well, turns out Snivel has flown the coop! The distraught (but mostly annoyed) ladies send you on a hunt for that lying goblin Snivel and have you search the bank, auction house and barber shop of your faction's respective city (Orgrimmar or Stormwind City).
A Friendly Chat... or A Friendly Chat... Start:Roka or Marion Sutton End: Snivel Rustrocket
After no luck finding the goblin on any of his errands, the ladies suspect that he's now on his way out for a nice escape to the South Seas - you've got to stop him! Horde players must head out to the East zeppelin tower (the one that leads to Eastern Kingdoms) and Alliance players to the Stormwind Harbor in attempt to stop Snivel and get some information before he's gone for good. I assume that once finding him, you're going to have to beat some information out of him until he eventually gives up Snivel's Ledger. Bring this Ledger back to Snip or Snap and this chain leads into Man on the Inside or Man on the Inside, ending with the defeat of Apothecary Hummel, the new event boss.
Daily Quests
The Crown Chemical Company would like for you to share their new products with the denizens of Azeroth to help establish their role as a new provider of quality holiday goods. Three daily quests have been added asking users to sample their new holiday products with players. I'm not yet sure if all three of these dailies will be available at the same time, or if a random one can be obtained each day.
A Cloudlet of Classy Cologne Start & End: Unknown
The Crown Chemical Company would like you to test out their Crown Perfume Sprayer on 10 different people. You will be rewarded with 5x Love Token.
A Perfect Puff of Perfume Start & End: Unknown
The Crown Chemical Company would like you to test out their Crown Cologne Sprayer on 10 different people. You will be rewarded with 5x Love Token.
Bonbon Blitz Start & End: Unknown
The Crown Chemical Company would like you to toss samples from the Crown Chocolate Sampler to 10 different people. You will be rewarded with 5x Love Token.
The Steamwheedle Cartel need all the help they can get in eradicating the Crown Chemical Co. and their sinister plot. Players level 5 and higher can obtain a daily quest pitting them against mobs their level. The quest you get is dependent on your current level, and your faction. For this daily, you must kill 5 of the Crown NPCs in the designated zone and use Snagglebolt's Khorium Bomb to destroy a nearby chemical wagon.
This year, instead of the complicated Gift Collections being gathered and presented to the respective faction leaders, players will instead be asked to create and turn in Lovely Charm Bracelets. These bracelets can be created by obtaining a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit, which I presume will be available from an NPC located either nearby the respective faction leaders or at some sort of main event hub for the holiday. Once you have obtained this item, you will then be able to gather Lovely Charms from "worthwhile enemies" - what exactly this means I have no idea at this time. You will probably be able to gain these charms either from killing event NPCs close to your level (such as those found near the chemical wagons for Crushing the Crown), but I'll find out as soon as possible give you guys an update! Combining 10 Lovely Charms will create a single Lovely Charm Bracelet, which, upon accepting a daily quest, can be turned in to the faction leader of your choice. I'm not sure if you can only complete one leader's daily quest, or if all four will be available to be completed per day.
Horde Quests Start: Unknown End: Faction leader of your choice (depends on quest)

Alliance players must get completely smashed, put on a Perfume Bottle, throw a Handful of Rose Petals on Sraaz and then /kiss him.
