Erollisi Day

Overview
Erollisi Day is an annual Live Event held in honor and celebration of Erollisi Marr, the Norrathian Goddess of Love and the Hunt. This event occurs around the same time real world holiday, Valentine's Day, but runs for almost 2 weeks.

To check the exact dates, log into the game and click the EQ2 button in the bottom right of your screen and choose Calendar from the list of options that opens. Keep in mind that the start date and end of (most) events is midnight PST, due to the location of the main office of Daybreak.

This event first appeared in 2005. Some quests are NOT repeatable, but they may unlock the ability to buy some rewards from holiday merchants. Rewards from retired quests may appear on holiday merchants too, so always check there or look closely at the rewards for the holiday themed race.

Unlike Frostfell, which has quests primarily in a special zone, quests for this event are often found all over the world. You will find many of the quests in The City of Freeport or Qeynos Province District (Qeynos Harbor). Because the event honors the goddess of love and her temple is found within, many quests are centered around New Halas.

Merchants
Identical merchants are found in both The City of Freeport near Seafarer's Roost and The Qeynos Province District, near Fish's Alehouse and Inn. See the pages for these doppelgangers to get their locations in each city zone. The first two are true merchants, while the other non-quest giving NPCs will exchange the holiday drops (candy and/or love notes) for notes that can be stacked or more holiday coins.
 * Merchants:

Currency and Seasonal Loot

 * Erollisi coin - this currency is awarded for quests during the event
 * Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes - monsters drop a variety of items specific to this holiday while it is live. These drops, which candy hearts or love notes can be used to craft items all year or they can be exchanged for more coins to purchase items from the vendors.
 * Two NPCs will help minimize your bag clutter:


 * - consolidates love note and candy into neat stacks of Barbarian love notes
 * - will trade a minimum of 5 candies or notes for 5 Erollisi coins.

Collection

 * Romantic Flower Petals - you'll see event-specific collection items on the ground in major cities. Instead of the usual "shiny" (glows gold) the collectibles look have flower petals floating up from them. It seems that some collection items are limited to different areas with quests. For example, you will find different collectibles in New Halas than you will in Freeport or Qeynos, so if you're having difficulty finishing, try a new location!

Tradeskill Recipes
No matter which tradeskill you begin or master, the following recipes can be purchased only while Erollisi Day is live. The previous year's recipes are always offered and (typically) new recipes are added annually.
 * You will also need hard candy or love notes looted from monsters to craft these items. The candy and notes are tradeable, so check the broker if you need to stock up.
 * Unlike Frostfell, which requires special crafting stations, you can make these items all year if you stock up holiday themed items.
 * These recipes sold by :


 * Romantic Gifts to Craft

Adventure Quests
The following quests are typical adventure quests that may involve a fight or two, but many are courier-style quests that require going to and from various NPCs to deliver items or have a conversation. Most of the text is quite funny!

Romantic Titles
Most live events have at least one quest series that unlocks titles.
 * My Romantic Reputation - this is a quest series that was previously begun by getting an in-game mail from "your secret admirer". It now begins when you collect a rose from the ground in New Halas.

Retired Quests and Event History
Events and quests in this section heralded the introduction of this holiday or describe changes that were made to the quests. The info below is reatined for game history.

Old Event Announcement
"The days dedicated to Erollisi, the Goddess of Love, are here, once more! There's a need for lovers and the often infatuated to visit Lavastorm, Great Divide, and the Thundering Steppes. My prayer is that you answer this call and strengthen the ties of love throughout Norrath.  Additionally, there is much to do for love in Antonica, the Commonlands, and the cities of Qeynos, Freeport, and New Halas during this celebration of all things romantic.  Meanwhile, love notes and message candies hold new worth with tradeskillers, and holiday merchants in Qeynos Province District or the City of Freeport, alike."

From 2005
Premonitions introduced the coming event: The Priesthood of Erollisi is playing the plans for this year's celebration very close to the robes, so there is little information at this time. One possible hint is the sudden an unusual compulsion of creatures all over Norrath to write love notes and carry hard candies on their persons.


 * 2005:, served as an easy quest for a charmed item involved tracking down a statue. The item could either be equipped or turned into a house item just like heritage quest items. The item looked like a short wand with a heart on the end and 3 arrows through the heart. When equipped, the item produces white sparkles. When placed in your house, it can be clicked on to make everyone else in the room turn and flirt with you.

From 2006

The quest was available from or. Oddly, Aaronolis had no clue about the festivities going on. He has continued to hang out in on the bridge to  for the nice view.

From 2011
Priest Aaronolis Swornlove offers the quest Total Eclipse of the Heart in New Halas. You will find Aaronolis near the shrine of Erollisi. You needed to complete his previous questline (Bouquet of Trust, Harts Full of Trust, and Sacrificial Trust) before he will offered it to you.

 * Roses are Red,
 * Violets are blue
 * I will be too
 * If I can't have you
 * Take this poem and this rose as a token of my undying affection on this Erollisi Day. Perhaps I will see you speaking with Dalron in either East Freeport or North Qeynos. Maybe we will meet chasing down Erollisi essences in Antonica or the Commonlands. I just hope to have the courage to hail you if I see you.
