They do. However, I heard last week that the aura bugs out autoattacks for shamans, DKs, and pallies. Not sure if that got hotfixed Tuesday, but it might be something to watch out for.
To add onto the daily quest discussion, repeatable quests are blue, not gold.
Yes, the perfume/cologne stacks with all other buffs (and they are nice buffs)
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
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
Although not indicated in the tooltip, these items will disappear when the holiday event is over according to Bliz.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Are you sure about that? Unless they’re marked as Soulbound (which they might be–I haven’t bothered with any of that this year since I have the meta), they probably behave like all the other limited-duration holiday items: they can’t be mailed or auctioned, but they **can **be traded from person to person.
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.
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.
The Lovely Charms are indeed soulbound; the Lovely Charm Bracelets you make from them are not.
… there’s an ad for a WoW book on what to do to get gold legally. I wouldn’t buy it, because I cannot afford the 37 dollars he wants for a download, but have y’all seen this and what do you think?
Waste of money. 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:
questing, especially daily quests (this could get you a couple hundred g’s a day at level 80)
farming things to sell on the AH, like eternals or ore
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).
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.
