I checked Wowhead and according to the comments, 1. Yes, the perfume/cologne stacks with all other buffs (and they are nice buffs) 2. A separate “Love is in the Air” buff is triggered when you are wearing cologne and nearby someone is wearing perfume or vice-versa. This gives you additional spell or melee crit 3. The “Love is in the Air” buff was bugged and interfering with melee combat, so it was removed from the game at the last hotfix 4. Although not indicated in the tooltip, these items **will disappear when the holiday event is over** according to Bliz. ---

> [@Yeticus\_Rex](#): > > I see that the Lovely Charm Bracelets are being auctioned at 10.5 gold each on Cairne. There’s a guy in my guild who claims he made 5 \*\*thousand \*\*(not a typo) gold selling Lovely Charm Bracelets the first couple of days of the holiday, before they hotfixed the fact that you could get charms by killing the constantly respawning dwarves in Ulduar. Another guy made 1600g and counting. I really wish I’d have thought to get in on this–I’ve got alts to feed. 🙂 ---

How are the bracelets on the AH? I tried to put some on and it said I couldn’t auction a conjured item. ---

So I’m totally ignoring this event (again) - well, apart from doing the spritz-people-with-cologne daily because, hey, 13 gold for three minute’s running around. The only one I really got into was the Fire Festival; not sure why except that stomping on fires is fun. ---

> [@HenryGale](#): > > Hey, all. I just picked up WoW again this weekend after a long hiatus (I quit pre-XPs). I FIIIIINALLY got my non-gamer wife to pick it up with me and I think I’ve officially turned her into a geek. Welcome back, old-timer. 😃 And gg on the wife–it was a boyfriend who got me into WoW, but his accomplishment wasn’t nearly as impressive, as I was already a geek and a gamer. > [@lizardling](#): > > To add onto the daily quest discussion, repeatable quests are blue, not gold. To further expand on that distinction: It’s \*\*the exclamation point \*_above the NPC’s head that’s a different color. And all dailies_ reset at a certain time (3 a.m. server, IIRC)–it’s not a 24-hour cooldown or anything like that. \*This is true of all actual daily quests, with the exclamation point and all that. There are one or two things in the game, like the keg delivery “daily” for Brewfest, that actually work on a cooldown timer. > [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > only one I really got into was the Fire Festival; not sure why except that stomping on fires is fun. Well, it’s a great way to see the world, and you get a bunch of great swag from it. Those clothes are probably my favorite holidays ones. ---

> [@sandra\_nz](#): > > How are the bracelets on the AH? I tried to put some on and it said I couldn’t auction a conjured item. You can’t sell or trade the Charms themselves; but one you combine 10 charms into a necklace you can sell or trade it. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > You can’t sell or trade the Charms themselves Are you sure about that?

Well, my guildies were saying that they were selling for about 10g on the AH, so at least you were able to sell them at some point. Maybe they fixed that, but I don’t think so. ---

Well this morning I could have gone to wowhead to check; but it looks like they’ve fixed our internet filter, so I can’t verify. But I’m pretty sure that was the case a few days ago, anyway. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > 1. Although not indicated in the tooltip, these items **will disappear when the holiday event is over** according to Bliz. Good to know, I was thinking of stocking up, at least on my mage, because the +45 Spell Power was better than the +40 Fire Spell Damage she gets from an Elixir of Greater Firepower. Interesting that these will disappear, but they let us keep the various buff foods from holidays. > [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Are you sure about that?

The Lovely Charms are indeed soulbound; the Lovely Charm Bracelets you make from them are not. ---

Better than that; they stack, so you would have +85 spell damage. But for a limited time only. ---

There’s no big secret to making gold in the game. You just have to sell the stuff you’re not going to use (and the name text of which is green or blue or purple) on the AH at prevailing prices. Also to sell ore or herbs or leather at prevailing prices for the particular kind. And that’s pretty much all they’re going to tell you in that book or ebook or whatever it is. ---

I haven’t read the book, Quasi, but the only way to get gold legally is: 1. questing, especially daily quests (this could get you a couple hundred g’s a day at level 80) 2. farming things to sell on the AH, like eternals or ore 3. playing the AH by buying underpriced items and re-selling them for more If the books is really talking about a strategy for legally obtaining gold, it’s probably full of auction house strategies related to #3. There’s probably nothing you would learn in the book that you couldn’t figure out or learn from other players (like on this thread or in the forums). ---

Can I do dailies yet? I’ve asked before, but maybe I was too low a level at that time? How do I get in on that? Thanks Q ---

I think you can do some of the holiday dailies, but for the general daily quests I think the minimum level is 70 (when you can do several on the Island of Quel’danas). Edit: Plus if your Cooking and Fishing are high enough, you might be high enough level to do the daily cooking and fishing quests. Not sure. ---

They are marked as soulbound. I specifically looked earlier, because I thought it was odd that the bracelets weren’t but the charms were. ---

Not sure. There are some dailies in Outland, I think, but they may all be dungeon dailies. ---

Bracelets are up to 16g on Cairne, but I got lucky and snagged two for 3g each. …Yeah, I could just farm the charms, but I’m so close to The Love Fool as it is and I want to move on to other stuff.
