Love is in the Air is back in focus in Azeroth, now that the event has returned in World of Warcraft and a version in Cataclysm Classic. This year, earn yourself a brand new mount and pet, some achievements, and more to discover.

The event starts today and runs through February 17th. The event in The War Within offers the opportunity to get the Love Witch’s Sweeper. This is a mount you can get from the first fight each day with Apothecary Hummel. The mount puts you on the back of a decorative moto-broom that you can take off to your next battle or to the Gala of Gifts. Living Rose is the new pet, a cute but not overly cute red rose. Finally, there's a new ensemble, Ensemble: Truly Heartfelt Shoulders which will bring the festive love decor in the form of hearts with a set of spaulders and shoulder capes in pink.

Love is in the Air's event quest will reintroduce Snip Snagglebolt and Detective Snap Snagglebolt, along with new robot canine O.D.I.E. There's a mystery to solve and you get a chance to take a crack at it.

Speaking of the Gala of Gifts, here's where you get some additional goodies during the holiday event. Complete quests, keep beating Apothecary Hummel, or even donate to the Artisan’s Consortium to earn event currency, Love Tokens, which you can exchange for more rewards. As you collect tokens, you'll be able to exchange for the some cute pets, the Heartseeker Mana Ray and Heartseeker Moth. Spread some love all around Azeroth in a four-seat mount, the Exquisite Love Boat Toy.

There are additional goodies to collect, including more toys, cosmetics, consumables, and more.  

As part of the ongoing festivities, if you're looking to meet a few goals, there are a number of achievements to unlock. In the event over in Cataclysm Classic, head to Orgrimmar or Stormwind to participate. There is an event quest, rewards, a chance to get the X45-Heartbreaker mount, and a bunch of achievements to unlock.
