Frenzyheart Tribe and the Oracles are two opposing factions in Wrath of the Lich King. Just like the Aldor and the Scryers in Burning Legion, you can only choose one. But it is not a so influential difference in the game as it was in Burning Legion.
There are 4 Achievements connected to these factions;
In Quests;
- Honorary Frenzyheart for completing 8 different Frenzyheart Daily Quests.
- Savior of the Oracles for completing 8 different Oracles Daily Quests.
In Reputation;
- Frenzyheart Tribe for becoming Exalted with Frenzyheart.
- The Oracles for becoming Exalted with the Oracles.
So which one? Obviously if you are an achievement and reputation addict like me the answer is... BOTH! And yes it is doable. Not at the same time of course, but in turns. Luckily, chaging sides is so much easier than Aldor and Scryers.
But which one will you choose as the second faction, so that it stays with you throughout the rest of the game? The answer is THE ORACLES. If you look at the factions closely enough you will see that all reputation rewards are actually crap, with the exceptance of Mysterious Egg which is acquired at Revered.
Mysterious Egg is a unique item that has a countdown of 7 days once that starts once you buy it. After the countdown is completed it hatches into one of 6 pets/mounts/food;
Non Combat Pets
Cobra Hatchling
Proto-Drake Whelp
Tickbird Hatchling
White Tickbird Hatchling
Mount
Green Proto-Drake
Food
Aged Yolk
OK! So we made up our minds. Here we go...
STEP 1: The Initiation Quest Line
Click the link below and follow the initiation quest line for Frenzyheart/Oracles. At the end of the quest line choose to align with the Frenzyheart and go to step 2. Or if you are not interested in Frenzyheart achievements at all choose to align with the Oracles and go to step 3. And forget about the rude furry men...
Click here for the initiation Quest Line...
STEP 2: The Frenzyheart Dailies
Click the link below and complete the dailies for Frenzyheart until you become Exalted with them. Than buy all the items you like from their Quartermaster - because you are about to leave them! When you are done with the Frenzyheart go and kill Artruis again and this time align with the Oracles.
Click here for the Frenzyheart Dailies...
STEP 3: Oracles Dailies

Guide: Frenzyheart Tribe Reputation (Daily Quests)
If you want to make reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe you first need to finish the initiation quest line. You can find a walkthrough of this quest line here.
If you have chosen Oracles over the Frenzyheart Tribe in the battle with Artruis, you can do the battle again and choose the Frenzyheart Tribe this time. As soon as you do this you will become Honored with the Frenzyheart Tribe and start getting daily quests from Frenzyheart Hill. There are a total of 8 daily quests but only one from each 3 NPC becomes avaliable each day.
Elder Harkek
He gives you "Chicken Party!" every day. Basically you need to throw your net at the chickens around and click on them. Collect 12 and you will be done. This gives you 500 reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe.
Vekgar
He gives you one of 3 quests each day; "Kartak's Rampage", "Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart" or "Tools of War". Each of these quests give you 700 reputation with the Oracles.
In Kartak's Rampage you need to go to Sparktouched Heaven and kill an oracle. Bring the dropped blood to Altar of Kartak which is just near Shaman Jakjek. Using the blood will transform you into Kartak. Using Kartak's abilities kill 50 sparktouched gorloc and report to Shaman Jakjek.
In Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart you need to go to Nesingwary's Camp and talk to Grimbooze Thunderbrew, who is near the tent. He will give you a Thunderbrew's Hard Ale. Don't click it. If you do just ask for another one. Instead click on the berries you got from the quest giver. These 2 will mix and become the Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart. Drink this and it will give you extra damage on gorlocs. Go to Sparktouched Heaven, kill 30 gorlocs and report to Shaman Jakjek.
In Tools of War, go to Kartak's Hold and open the chest which is exactly opposite of Shaman Jakjek. Use the 2 explosive traps you get and kill 50 gorlocs and report to Shaman Jakjek.
Rejek
He gives you one of 4 quests each day; "A Hero's Headgear", "Rejek: First Blood", "Strength of the Tempest" or "The Heartblood's Strength". Each of these quests give you 500 reputation with the Oracles.
In A Hero's Headgear, fly to the bottom of the Suntouched Pillar and kill Venture Co. Ruffians and Excavators until explosives drop. Than fly west of the Makers' Perch, find a Stormwatcher, kill it and use the explosive on the corpse. Get the head that materializes. Bring back to Rejek.
In Rejek: The First Blood, you need to kill one Sapphire Hive Wasp (SE of the camp), one Hardknuckle Charger (E of the camp) and three Mistwhisper members (NW of the camp, near the lake). Use the blade Rejek gives you on their corpses. Bring back to Rejek.
In Strength of the Tempest you need to fly west of the Makers' Perch and kill Storm Revenants and Aqueous Spirits, and gather 3 Essence of the Monsoon and 3 Essence of the Storm. Fly to the edge of the zone just west of Makers' Perch and you will see a big stone pillar. Go to it with 3 of each essence in your inventory and they will change into True Power of the Tempest. Bring back to Rejek.
In The Heartblood's Strength check your map to the NE of the Glimmering Pillar. You will see a skeleton shape on the map (skeleton of a dragon actually). Keep going NE to the mountains and you will see a goretalon matriarch on the hills. Kill it and get its blood. Now fly to the top of Suntouched Pillar and fill the empty vial you got from Rejek. Combine the items and you get Suntouched Heartblood. Bring back to Rejek.
Thus each day you can get 3 daily quests for the Frenzyheart Tribe and a total of 1700 reputation. Thus it takes 8 days for Revered and 12 more days for Exalted.
If you have chosen Oracles over the Frenzyheart Tribe in the battle with Artruis, you can do the battle again and choose the Frenzyheart Tribe this time. As soon as you do this you will become Honored with the Frenzyheart Tribe and start getting daily quests from Frenzyheart Hill.

Guide: The Oracles' Reputation (Daily Quests)
If you want to make reputation with the Oracles you first need to finish the initiation quest line. You can find a walkthrough of this quest line here.
If you have chosen Frenzyheart over the Oracles in the battle with Artruis, you can do the battle again and choose the Oracles this time. As soon as you do this you will become Honored with the Oracles and start getting daily quests from Rainspeaker Canopy. There are a total of 8 daily quests but only one from each 3 NPC becomes avaliable each day.
High-Oracle Soo-say
He (or she?) gives you "Appeasing the Great Rain Stone" every day. This is the same quest as "Gods like Shiny Things" you did before. Choose a companion and dig 6 shiny treasures around the village. This gives you 500 reputation with the Oracles.
Oracle Soo-dow
He (or she?) gives you one of 3 quests each day; "Mastery of the Crystals", "Power of the Great Ones" or "Will of the Titans". Each of these quests give you 700 reputation with the Oracles.
In Mastery of the Crystals, you need to find the chest in Sparktouched Heaven. The chest is just opposite of Lightningcaller Soo-met. You will get 3 traps in it. Just use the 2 explosive traps to kill 50 Frenzyheart attackers and report to Lightningcaller Soo-met.
In Power of the Great Ones, you will get a Dormant Polished Crystal and have to charge it on top of Lifeblood Pillar. Go to Sparktouched Heaven, use the crystal and kill 30 Frenzyheart attackers. Crystal will give you additional damage, so killing will be easy. Report to Lightningcaller Soo-met.
In Will of the Titans, you will need to go to Sparktouched Heaven and kill some frenzyheart until a Tainted Crystal drops. Then bring the crystal to Great Lightning Stone and use it. This will transform you into Soo-holu. Use the beast's powers to kill 50 Frenzyheart attackers and report to Lightningcalle Soo-met.
Oracle Soo-nee
He (or she?) gives you one of 4 quests each day; "A Cleansing Song", "Song of Fecundity", "Song of Reflection" or "Song of Wind and Water". Each of these quests give you 500 reputation with the Oracles.
In A Cleansing Song, you need to visit 3 places. At Bittertide Lake (west of Glimmering Pillar) you need to summon and kill Atha. At River's Heart (middle of map) you need to summon and kill Ha-Khalan. At Wintergrasp River (southeast of Skyreach Pillar) you need to summon and kill Koosu.
In Song of Fecundity, you need to fly west of the Makers' Perch and find orange mounds on the ground. Use your horn and a plant will grow. Do this 8 times and you are done.

In Song of Wind and Water you need to fly west of the Makers' Perch. You will see Aqueous Spirits and Storm Revenants. Use your Drums of the Tempest and you will become a water elemental. Attack a Storm Revenant and devour it when it is weak. Thus you will become a lightning elemental. Attack an Aqueous Spirit and devour it. Continue this until you devour 4 of each elementals.
Thus each day you can get 3 daily quests for the Oracles and a total of 1700 reputation. Thus it takes 8 days for Revered and 12 more days for Exalted.

Guide: Frenzyheart Tribe and the Oracles Initiation Quest Line
Which of these factions should you choose? Well read my guide about this here. [Link to be inserted] This guide only covers a walkthrough for their initiation quest line. Please find the map to locations below. Click on it to make it bigger.
Click to make bigger
So when you are questing in Scholazar Basin you will eventually get the quest "The Part-time Hunter" from Tamara Wobblesprocket at Lakeside Landing (See map, Spot 1). This quest wants you to kill a named lion, Pitch, who is at 50, 77 (See map, Spot 2). When you arrive on the scene you will see Tracker Gekgek and two Frenzyheart hunters circling Pitch. Kill Pitch and a quest exclamation will appear over Tracker Gekgek. His quest "Playing Along" says you need to be his new slave because you have stolen his kill and you need to report to High-Shaman Rakjak who is at Frenzyheart Hill 55,70(See map, Spot 3).
High-Shaman Rakjak gives you the quest "The Ape Hunter's Slave". This quest wants you to kill 8 x Hardknuckle Forager and 6 x Hardknuckle Charger, both of which are a little east of the camp. Also you will get an item to summon Goregek and he will give you the quest "Tormenting the Softknuckles". This quest wants you to use a given stick on baby gorillas. Baby gorillas are east and a bit south of the camp (See map, Spot 4).
When you are done with gorillas, High-Shaman Rakjak gives you the quest "The Wasp Hunter's Apprentice". This quest wants you to kill 6 x Sapphire Hive Wasp and 9 x Sapphire Hive Drone (that flies around in groups of 3 anyway). Also get the quest "The Sapphire Queen" that wants you to kill the queen of the bees. You will see a cave on the map SE of the camp (See map, Spot 5). Queen bee is inside and you will kill the other bees reaching her anyway.
Next Rakjak will give you 2 quests; "Mischief in the Making" and "The Underground Menace". Now head SW, find the river and follow it south. Crystal Clusters you need to find are all around the riverbank. Serfex is an underground worm (like the ones in Outland), so look out for jumping sand.
After these 2 quests Rakjak will send you on a ride with "A Rough Ride". Captive Crocolisk is just outside the village (See map, Spot 6) and will take you to Zepik the Gorloc Hunter (See map, Spot 7).
Zepik will give you 2 quests; "Lightning Definitely Strike Twice" and "The Mist Isn't Listening". The weather station is the big stone pillar near the small puddle in Mistwhisper Refuge (NW of the quest giver) at 45, 37. You also need to kill 12 Mistwhisper Gorloc.
When you return Zepik will send you back to Rakjak with "Hoofing It". Now Rakjak will give you the quest "Just Following Orders". This quest requires you to speak with an injured rainspeaker oracle. They are a bit north of the camp near the river bank. When you speak with him a non-elite level 77 crocolisk will spawn and you need to kill it. By killing it you will save the oracle and Rakjak will come and accuse you of treason. After this you become hostile to Frenzyheart Tribe and the Oracles' quests will begin. Don't worry though you will have the chance to repair things with Frenzyheart Tribe (if you want to, that is).
Than you will get the "Fortunate Misunderstandings" quest from the injured oracle and you need to escort him to Rainspaker Canopy and speak to High-Oracle Soo-say (See map, Spot 8).
High-Oracle Soo-say will give you "Make the Bad Snake Go Away". This quest wants you to kill 10 x Emperor Cobra and Venomtip. Venomtip is NE of the village near the waterfall (See map, Spot 9), Emperor Cobras area all around the village. Also take "Gods Love Shiny Things" from Lafoo. To finish this quest you need to look for shiny spots on the ground and take Lafoo there. Lafoo than will dig up and a treasure of some bugs or hare will appear. You need to dig up 6 treasures.
Than Soo-say will give you the quest "Making Peace" and will send you to Shaman Vekjik (See map, Spot 10). Vekjik will expectably refuse and Soo-say will give you another quest "Back So Soon?" and send you to Mistcaller Soo-gan (See map, Spot 11).
Soo-gan will give you 2 quests; "Forced Hand" and "The Lost Mistwhisper". Get your pet out and head into Frenzyheart camp in the NE. The altar and Tartek are easy to notice. You need to kill Tartek and loot the altar. Also you need to kill 8 x Frenzyheart Spearbearers and 6 x Frenzyheart Scavengers on the way. When you go back Soo-gan will give you "Home Time!" and send you back to Soo-say.
Soo-say will give you "The Angry Gorloc" and send you to Mosswalker Village with Moodle (my favourite character). The village is little west of The Maker's Outlook (See map, spot 12).
There, summon Moodle and he will give you 2 quests; "The Mosswalker Savior" and "Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine". You can find Lifeblood Shards lootable around the village. For the other quest you need talk to dying mosswalkers and find 6 that are not "dying".
A long quest line eh? Now comes the final step. Moodle will give you "A Hero's Burden" and ask you to kill Artruis. Look on you map and you will see a cave near Lifeblood Pillar. Go to the end of the cave and you will see Artruis along with Jaloot and Zepik. As a 80 mage I was able to solo this fight barely. So it is your call to try it alone or find a partner.
Halfway through the battle Artruis will send Jaloot and Zepik to attack you. Now is the time to decide which faction you want to choose. If you kill Zepik, you will free Jaloot and choose the Oracles, if you kill Jaloot, it will be vice versa.
If you are following my guide here [Link to be inserted] you need to kill Jaloot and go with the Frenzyheart Tribe, which we will change once we get Exalted with them.
So this is about it!

Achievement: Well Read
So you want to have the Well Read achievement. This achievement was one of the funnest I did. Basically you need to find 42 books scattered across the world and read them. It requires a lot of running around and good planning as not to lose time. Alliance and Horde can create their own routes and avoid other faction's zone and obviously cities. But Alliance clearly has the advantage in book locations.
The level to attain this achievement is the level to enter Scholomance as some books can only be found there. Here is an optimum route I created for Alliance and Horde characters. Also while you are doing this achievement why not take the time to actually read the books? I found this to be a lot of fun...
HORDE
Start in Silvermoon
* The Betrayer Ascendant (Silvermoon, Walk of Elders, in the Shop of Valaani's Arcane Goods)
Go to Undercity
* Civil War in the Plaguelands (Undercity, Ask a guard for the stable master, the book is on a table right next to him)
* Exile of the High Elves (Undercity, Ask a guard for the inscription trainer, the book is just next to him)
* The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth (Undercity, Ask a guard for the herbalism trainer and the book is next to her)
* Icecrown and the Frozen Throne (Undercity, go to Apothecarium, check the northern shop in this part of the city)
* Kel'Thuzad and the Forming of the Scourge (Undercity, go to Apothecarium, check the northern shop in this part of the city)
Go out to Trisfal Glades
* Aegwynn and the Dragon Hunt (Trisfall Glades, 2nd floor of the Inn in Brill next to the Rogue trainer)
* Charge of the Dragonflights (Trisfall Glades, Brill Town Hall, on the middle table)
Enter Scarlet Monastry
* The World Tree and the Emerald Dream (Another nuisance for the Horde. Your options are to run into Darnassus, Craftman's Terrace, into the last building on the left at the back or go into Scarlet Monastry library where the book spawn in a room with benches.)
* Aftermath of the Second War (Scarlet Monastry, Library, on the floor halfway through the instance)
* The War of the Ancients (Scarlet Monastry, Library, shortly before the final boss on a table)
* War of the Spider (Scarlet Monastry, Library OR Scholomance, The Relinquary)
Enter Scholomance
* Kil'jaeden and the Shadow Pact (Well this book is an injustice to the Horde, the only out-of-dungeon place you can find it is in Duskwood, Darkshire Inn, top floor, left most room. Your other alternative is Scholomance. The Great Ossuary is the room where all the hatchlings are flying around. When you stand facing the entrance of this room, turn right and you will see the book in the corner.)
* The Lich King Triumphant (Scholomance, when you first enter Scholomance and pass the first door, go right down the stairs and you will see the book on a table)
* The Birth of the Lich King (Yet another nuisance for the Horde. Your options are to rush to the town hall in Darkshire, Duskwood and find the book next to Lord Ello Ebonlocke OR go to Scholomance and find the book in The Reliquary)
* The Founding of Quel'Thalas (Yet another nuisance for the Horde. Your options are to rush to the inn in Darkshire, Duskwood and find the book upstairs in the middle room on a table OR go to Scholomance and find the book behind Marduk Blackpool)
* The Invasion of Draenor (Scholomance, when you first enter the instance, face NE and jump down; you will see the book in the corner. These instuctions assume that you are level 80 or above...)
* The Seven Kingdoms (Scholomance, after the first iron gate, turn left and go down the stairs. The book is on the table...)
Go to Hillsbrad Foothills
* Arathor and the Troll Wars (Hillsbrad Foothills, Outside the chapel of Tarren Mill on the ground)
* The Alliance of Lordaeron (Hillsbrad Foothills, inside the chapel in Tarren Mill, at the back)

Guide: Love is in the Air Quests
See here for my Complete Love is in the Air Achievement Guide.
HORDE
The Horde quest line starts with Dangerous Love from NPC Fenstad Argyle at Undercity Bank. In the first step you need to buy a Perfume Bottle and a Love Token from the innkeeper and talk to a guard to get Guardian's Moldy Card. Than comes the second step (Fenstad's Hunch) in which Fenstad asks you to bring a Perfume Bottle and a Cologne Bottle, both of which can be bought from the innkeeper to Apothecary Zinge, who is in the Apothecarium in Undercity. In the third step (Zinge's Assessment) Apothecary Zinge sends you back to Fenstad. As the fourth step Fenstad sends you to speak with Innkeeper Norman (Tracing the Source). And in the fifth step Norman sends you to speak with Mara Rennick (Tracing the Source) who is in the Mage Quarter. By now you feel like a complete idiot running around the NPCs and lose all hope that you will exit the city. Luckily as the final step Mara asks you to find Apothecary Staffron Lerent in Hillsbrad Foothills. Skip the Alliance step next and read the part titled "Finding Staffron Lerent".
ALLIANCE
The Alliance quest line is more or less the same, with only NPCs changing. The quest line starts with Dangerous Love from Aristan Mottar in front of Stormwind bank. Aristan asks you to get a Stormwind Guard's Card. Buy a Perfume Bottle and a Love Token from the Innkeeper and speak with a male guard to get this (or buy a Cologne Bottle instead of Perfume and speak with a female guard). After this Aristan asks you to bring a Perfume Bottle and a Cologne Bottle (Aristan's Hunch), both of which could be bought from the innkeeper, to Morgan Pestle who is just opposite of bank. Morgan than sends you back to Aristan (Morgan's Discovery), who sends you to Innkeeper Allison at The Gilded Rose (Tracing the Source), who sends you to Evert Sorisam (Tracing the Source), who is in the canal between Cathedral and the Park. Finally Evert sends you to find Apothecary Staffron Lerent in Hillsbrad Foothills.
FINDING STAFFRON LERENT
To find Lerent you need to find Ravenholdt Manor. The path leading to manor is at 75, 24 but since I hate locations I'll describe. Go to the NW corner of Durnholde Keep and head NW. You will see a small path leading up to mountains. Follow it to pass a tunnel. After you pass the tunnel you will see the manor. Instead of heading for the door, head right and run through the garden and than the shooting range. That will lead you to a short passage between the mountains. At the end, the passage seems to come to a dead end, but you need to jump down left and keep following the path to find Lerent with a cauldron. Speak with Lerent and than click the cauldron to get your clothing.
So we are done.

* Shafted!
* Lonely?

* Fistful of Love
* Be Mine!
* I Pitied The Fool
So let's begin
BASICS
The first thing you need to do is to go to a major city. That is excluding Blood Elf and Draenei cities since they were added later to the game. Clean up some inventory space and from the innkeeper buy Cologne Bottle, Perfume Bottle and Love Tokens (20 at least, I would say).
If you put on cologne or perfume (by right clicking them in your bag), you will be able to see NPCs with heart symbols on their heads. If you put on cologne you can talk to female NPCs and give them tokens, if you put on perfume you can talk to male NPCs. Your gender has no effect.
When you give them love tokens, heart icon over their heads depop, just to repop about 1-2 minutes later. So it is kind of a race around the city with other players to talk to NPCs when icons pop on their heads. In return for tokens, 3 things might happen;
1) If you don't have the "Adored: You are recently adored" debuff you will get a Gift of Adoration: (Insert City Name). When you get the gift you will get the debuff for 1 hour and you can't get another Gift of Adoration during that time.
2) You might get "Heartbroken" debuff. If this happens you need to run to the most crowded part of the city and yell or say that you are heartbroken. Another player is likely to cure you. You can't give NPCs love tokens when you have this debuff.
3) If you have the "Adored" debuff the NPCs can give you a small gift instead. There are 3 kinds of gifts; The Pledge of Loyalties, The Guard Cards and a Specific Item. They change for each city. For example for Undercity you will have;
- The Pledge of Royalty: Undercity
- Guardian's Moldy Card
- Romantic Poem
Basically the guards will give you either the pledges or the cards, while other vendors and trainers will give you the specific item.
Collect 5 of each in every city and combine them. Than combine the 3 outcome items to create a (City Name) Gift Collection. Do this in every city to get each one's gift collection and combine all 3 to make Horde or Alliance Gift Collection. Now you can hand this in to Kwee Q. Peddlefeet who waits near each city's leader. In return you can get, Silver Shafted Arrows, Handful of Rose Petals or Love Rockets. See below for their use.
What a handsome chap. Not.
COMPLETE GUIDE
Heartmender: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain an Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet. Target a player with the "Heartbroken" debuff and use this item. You need to do this 20 times to complete this achievement. When you do, the item will disappear from your inventory and a crap item will appear in other player's inventory that he can safely destroy. The bracelets are bind on pickup.
Flirt with Disaster: This is the funniest achievement for me so far. When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Handful of Rose Petals. If you are horde find Jeremiah Payson in Undercity (the undead snake vendor, he is just below the bank). If you are alliance find Snaaz in Ironforge (the gnome pie vendor, he is walking around the city). You need to bring alcohol, perfume and 1 x Handful of Rose Petals with you. Use perfume, drink alcohol until you become "smashed" and than use petals on Snaaz/Payson and than /kiss him. You will regret it in the morning.
Nearest and Dearest: You need to finish a quest line, formed of 6 quests. The first 5 steps differ for alliance and horde, but the final step is the same. I'll explain this in another guide. [Link to be given.]
Nation of Adoration: Simply recieve a Gift of Adoration from each 3 major cities. Go to one of the cities, get the gift, wait for one hour for debuff to wear off, go to another city, rinse and repeat.
Sweet Tooth: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Bag of Chocolates. Unless you are extremely unlucky, the 4 types of candy that is required for eating will be in it. (Buttermilk Delight, Sweet Surprise, Dark Delight and Very Berry Cream.) If somehow one is missing, you need to wait for another bag.
My Love is Like A Red, Red Rose: For this quest you need to loot a Bouquet of Ebon Roses or a Bouquest of Red Roses. As of 2009 these bosses have 100% chance to drop one in normal or heroic modes;
- Prince Keleseth in Utgarde Keep
- Maiden of Grief in Halls of Stone
- Prince Taldaram in Ahn'kahet The Old Kingdom
The easiest way to do this would be to gather 3 or more level 80s (assuming that you are one) and farm Prince Keleseth in Utgarde Keep. Since he is the first boss, he is very close to zone. But keep in mind he drops one bouquet each time, so you will have to get out, reset the dungeon for each member in your group.
Shafted!: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Silver Shafted Arrows. Basically you need to shoot 10 players with them. This gives them a goblin cupid pet. You can only shoot the players who don't have the pets.
Lonely?: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Romantic Picnic. When you use it, it sets up a picnic table on the ground which others can click and join in. Luckily you don't actually need the item to complete this achievement, all you have to do is to find a picnic table at Dalaran and click it.
The Rocket's Pink Glare: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain Love Rockets. You need to gather 10 and then shoot them all under 30 secs. Easiest way is to drag and drop them into your action bar and spam. Make sure you have 10 before you begin!
Fistful of Love: A very annoying achievement. When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Handful of Rose Petals. You need to gather 10 and use them on race/class combinations below;
- Gnome Warlock
- Night Elf Priest
- Tauren Druid
- Undead Warrior
- Draenei Paladin
- Human Death Knight
- Orc Shaman
- Troll Rogue
- Blood Elf Mage
- Dwarf Hunter
Depending on your server some combinations may be a pain in the ass. Dalaran is a good place to start. If you can't find a combination there, I advise you to try Alterac Valley.
Be Mine!: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Bag of Candies. This item has 10 charges. Each time you click it, it creates a heart with certain message. You need to create 8 of them;
- Be Mine!
- All yours.
- Hot lips.
- You're the best!
- I'll follow you all around Azeroth.
- I'm all yours!
- You're Mine!
- I LOVE YOU!
Statistically one bag could do it, but I am guessing two bags is a better bet.
I Pitied the Fool: When you open a Gift of Adoration, it might contain a Love Fool. This is an item that puts a practice target on the ground with the visual of Valentine's Day. You need to create it in 5 places and target it and /pity it.
- Wintergrasp: Go to any place in Wintergrasp but be out of reach from creature aggro as they will attack the Love Fool and destroy it before you can /pity.
- Arathi Basin Blacksmith: Easy to do. Do it when it is relatively empty. Other faction's players can attack it to piss you off.
- Naxxaramas: Fly up to Naxxaramas, invite a friend, change the group into a raid, enter any instance, summon, /pity. Doesn't work outside of instance!
- Battle Ring of Gurubashi Arena: Go when it is empty.
- The Culling of Stratholme: This is the instance in Caverns of Time. You can enter alone and do this with no problem.
And so...
