''The days dedicated to Erollisi, the Goddess of Love, are here, once more, and the power it brings is felt by one and all! Not even the dearly departed are immune to its calling. Lovers and the often infatuated, venture into the Commonlands and witness the undying power of love, firsthand! My prayer is that you answer this call and strengthen the ties of love, where you can, be it Darklight Wood, the Stonebrunt Highlands, Butcherblock Mountains, Lavastorm, Great Divide, the Thundering Steppes, Antonica, or the cities of Qeynos, Freeport, and New Halas. Spread the word of Erollisi and celebrate all things romantic!''

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. Most quests are set up in a series, so be aware that to do newly added quests each year, it is highly likely you need to complete older quests first.

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]]. Look for collections items and roses to pick up on your travels too!

If you are trying to earn large quantities of Erollisi coins, you ''can'' get them from mobs (monsters) that con gray (names show in gray text/that are far below your level).
+
If you are trying to earn large quantities of '''Erollisi coins''', you can (possibly) get them from mobs (monsters) that con gray (names show in gray text/that are far below your level).
  +
  +
This is often easy(ish) in the starting zones around like [[Frostfang Sea]] (near [[New Halas]]) or [[Darklight Wood]] (just outside [[Neriak, City of Hate]]).
  +
  +
Any Grey/green mobs can drop the coins so trying higher levels might be a good option, or zones with large clusters of mobs, the drop rate is not great however so other quests and instanced zones may be better options..
  +
  +
The '''Fully Trained Artisan Pack Pony''' (mentioned Below) can also harvest [[Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes|<u>'''Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes'''</u>]] which can be turned into '''NPC''' {{NPC|Liannya Heartswell|}} - for coins every 2 hours.
   
This is often easiest in the starting zones around like [[Frostfang Sea]] (near [[New Halas]]) or [[Darklight Wood]] (just outside [[Neriak, City of Hate]]). If you have more standard coin currency (gold, plat) than time, you can also buy the notes and candy using the [[Broker|broker]].
+
If you have more '''Gold/Platinum''' than time, you can also buy the notes and candy using the [[broker]].
   
One quest offers players a very easy way to gather several candies and notes at once. See the [[Heal the Pain]] quest page for tips and tricks.
+
Also! See the [[Heal the Pain|<u>'''Heal the Pain'''</u>]] and [[Tainted Love|'''<u>Tainted Love</u>''']] quest pages have access to '''Instanced Zones''' and offer tips and tricks to gather several '''Candies''' and '''Notes''' at once and the '''Heal the Pain''' instance zone can be '''reentered''' if you do not finish the quest!.

Instead of the usual "shiny" (glows gold) appearance, these collectibles look like they have flower petals floating up from them. Some collection items are limited to different areas with quests.

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."

Painting-Erollisi Marr
Erollisi Marr

The days dedicated to Erollisi, the Goddess of Love, are here, once more, and the power it brings is felt by one and all! Not even the dearly departed are immune to its calling. Lovers and the often infatuated, venture into the Commonlands and witness the undying power of love, firsthand! My prayer is that you answer this call and strengthen the ties of love, where you can, be it Darklight Wood, the Stonebrunt Highlands, Butcherblock Mountains, Lavastorm, Great Divide, the Thundering Steppes, Antonica, or the cities of Qeynos, Freeport, and New Halas. Spread the word of Erollisi and celebrate all things romantic!

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. Most quests are set up in a series, so be aware that to do newly added quests each year, it is highly likely you need to complete older quests first.

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. Look for collections items and roses to pick up on your travels too!

Check your mail for a holiday-themed coin to spend and some hints about where you'll find all of the quests. New characters will want to begin with Find 'em a Find, Catch 'em a Catch!, which unlocks most of the other quests.

New This Year

The event will officially run from 02/10/2022 at 12:01am PST through 02/23/2022 at 11:59pm PST

Quests

  • No new quests in 2022. Quests will now be added every other year (cite: Denmum on the forums).

Public Quests

Achievement

Items and Recipes

  • Steven, the merchant, is now selling the recipe scroll Romantic Gifts to Craft XV.
  • Douglas, the merchant, is selling 6 new reward items.
  • See the pages for these merchants or visit them when the event is live to look at their offerings.

TLE Servers

  • The entire event is active! Quests that require you to go to a zone that is not part of the TLE will not be offered.

Merchants

Pink-unicorn

Pink Unicorn mount, purchased with Erollisi coin.

Erollisi-day-2-item-example

Examples of items purchased with standard coin currency: Pink Stained Glass Square (top) and Crimson Stained Glass Square (bottom).

Identical merchants, selling identical items, 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 specific locations in each city zone.

Items sold for holiday coins and for standard coin currency (silver, gold, etc.) are listed on the merchant pages.

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 for more holiday coins.

Merchants: To see a list of items sold by these merchants, see the Erollisi Day Merchant Items (Steven) or Erollisi Day Merchant Items (Douglas)

  • Douglas - offers the majority of items of every type
  • Steven - primarily sells holiday-themed recipes, but also offers a few house items

Non-quest giving NPCs: These NPCs will exchange Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes (dropped by mobs during the event).

Currency and Seasonal Loot

There are two categories of valuable items used to either buy merchant items or craft items from the holiday recipes books.

  • Erollisi coin - this currency is awarded for quests during the event. It is not heirloom, so you can also elect to sell yours or buy extra using the broker
  • Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes - monsters drop a variety of items specific to this holiday while it is live. These drops, which look like 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 while the event is live.

Tips and Tricks to Get the Above!!: If you are trying to earn large quantities of Erollisi coins, you can (possibly) get them from mobs (monsters) that con gray (names show in gray text/that are far below your level).

This is often easy(ish) in the starting zones around like Frostfang Sea (near New Halas) or Darklight Wood (just outside Neriak, City of Hate).

Any Grey/green mobs can drop the coins so trying higher levels might be a good option, or zones with large clusters of mobs, the drop rate is not great however so other quests and instanced zones may be better options..

The Fully Trained Artisan Pack Pony (mentioned Below) can also harvest Erollisi Day Hard Candy and Love Notes which can be turned into NPC Liannya Heartswell - for coins every 2 hours.

If you have more Gold/Platinum than time, you can also buy the notes and candy using the broker.

Also! See the Heal the Pain and Tainted Love quest pages have access to Instanced Zones and offer tips and tricks to gather several Candies and Notes at once and the Heal the Pain instance zone can be reentered if you do not finish the quest!.

See the Merchant section above for info about NPCs who can help you declutter your bags by creating stacks of items of various types or trading for holiday coins.

Collections


You'll see event-specific collection items on the ground in major cities and in zones with quest givers.

Instead of the usual "shiny" (glows gold) appearance, these collectibles look like they have flower petals floating up from them. 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!


The members of the collection can be found in the following zones:

Tradeskill Recipes

Adoration-tile-examples

Examples of Adoration building blocks from Erollisi day recipe books.

Green-formal-attire

Example of an outfit, crafted from Erollisi Day recipes.

No matter which tradeskill you begin or master, any crafter can make the items in the recipe books.

  • The Romantic Gifts 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. See the section on Currency and Seasonal Loot above for more helpful hints on getting more and trading them in for stacks.
  • Unlike Frostfell, which requires special crafting stations, you can make these items all year if you stock up holiday themed materials.
  • Like most holiday-themed live events, the recipes are primarily items for use in player housing and appearance gear anyone can wear.
  • If you have completed the Gathering Obsession Timeline and have the Artisan's Fully Trained Pack Pony, it can be sent out to get love notes and candy for you too.

Available Recipes

These recipes are sold by Steven.

Where to Craft Items

When trying to complete Achievements for this event, sometimes figuring out which station has each type of the crafted item can be confusing. There is a pattern, though, and experienced crafters will notice it is similar to the pattern for crafted items seen around Frostfell.

A quick summary of the general items by stations is as follows:

New player tip: these items can be crafted in any tradeskill area in a major city with player housing or in any Guild Hall that has added tradeskill tables and amenities.

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!

Though they do not necessarily involve fighting, they will grant adventure experience (XP).

Repeatable Once Per Year

Non-Repeatable

Each character must complete Find 'em a Find, Catch 'em a Catch! before any of the quests below unlock. Each character can do the following quests only once. In some cases the rewards they offer can be obtained by completing the Hearts A' Flutter Race (below) or by purchasing identical items from the event merchants.

Erollisi Guide Quest

Aside from the Test server this quest can only be started by a Guide.

Hearts A' Flutter Race (Unlimited Repeatable)

The race is quite simple. Get the quest from the NPC, then go to the telepad to start the race. You must dismount to start the race! Zip around and gather hearts until the timer runs out. For more details, tips and ticks, plus a list of rewards, see the Hearts a'Flutter quest page.

Hearts a'Flutter originally appeared in 2007, and was revamped in 2014. The races are held in only one location as of 2019 (in order to make room for the Erollisi Day public quest), outside the gate of Qeynos Capitol District in Antonica.

The prizes vary if you are fast enough to get a "huge prize" vs. anything lesser. Many of the items can be purchased from the holiday merchants, so it's wise to familiarize yourself with their offerings first.

On occasion, rewards from retired quests or quests that offer a choice may be offered as a race reward, so look at the choices carefully in case you missed and item or picked a different item elsewhere.

Public quest (unlimited repeatable)

Love Will Lead You Back occurs in the Commonlands one hour after it last finished. All levels can participate as many times as they wish.

You find the PQ starting area and escort the undead along its path picking up Roses as you go. Pick up Red and Yellow Roses and give them to the undead quest mob corresponding to its color and quest text.

You can also throw the roses as a clicky on the hotbar at the Mobs that attack the Undead quest mob. Throwing the Red and Yellow Roses at these hostile targets will result in an instant kill on them.

The First Time you finish this quest you will receive a Heart Shaped Egg which can be hatched by doing repeats of the same Public Quest.

See Click the link on the quest above for further details.

Overseer Quests

These quests are themed around Erollisi Day and rewards Overseer Reward Crates. You must have the Overseer account feature. Speak with Sister Marinah Highgleam in New Halas to begin.

Romantic Titles

Erollisi-title-example

An example of a character with an Erollisi day title displayed: the Flirtatious

Most live events have at least one quest or quest series that unlocks titles.

  • My Romantic Reputation - this is a quest 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 or Enchanted Lands.
  • Though you can only get the quest during the event by handing out your first rose, you can continue to hand out roses all year long if you collect enough or find more to buy from the broker.
Possible Titles:
  • Flowers given to 25 different people yields the title "The Flirtatious"
  • Flowers given to 75 different people yields the title "The Romantic"
  • Flowers given to 150 different people yields the title "The Passionate"
  • Flowers given to 250 different people yields the title "The Amorous"
  • Flowers given to 500 different people yields the title "The Heartbreaker"
  • Flowers given to 1,000 different people yields the title "The Prurient"
  • Total of the above is 2,000 roses.

To set any title you've earned, press C to open the character sheet, click the Options tab and use the drop-down arrow to change your titles.

Achievements

In 2014 Achievements were added, themed to match the holiday. To see a list of Achievements on the wiki that were added before the most current year see the Live Events Achievements page.

Press J while in-game to open your Journal, click the Achievements tab, and click on the heading for Live Events. You will find the events for this holiday (and all others) in the list of Live Events Achievement tasks. Each year the Achievements for holidays may change, so always look to see what might be new.

Achievements reward not only the sense of accomplishment, they often grant you fun titles like The Flirtatious, house items like Bow Mounted Red Rose Garland, and (for some events, but not all) the ability to purchase items that are "locked" until you complete them.

Rewards and Merchant Items

Erollisi-armor-examples

Examples of armor purchased with Erollisi coins: left, Thief of Love armor; right, Insurrection armor.

Erolisi Day now offers far too many items to provide a full list, but some popular and returning items (as examples) include:

Marketplace Items

Cloak-of-the-beloved

The Cloak of the Beloved (shown here) is only available from the Marketplace during Erollisi Day.

As with most holiday-themed live events, you will also find items on the Marketplace you can purchase using DBC (Daybreak Cash, purchased with real-world currency).

These items range from appearance items, such as cloaks and circlets of flowers, to a wide range of house decor items themed to suit the holiday. Many may be available only while the event is live, while other items may just be featured because they suit the theme.

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 retained for game history.

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.

Love of Ages Past, 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. This Erollisi's Charm is now an reward option from Hearts a'Flutter for gathering 80+ hearts.

From 2006

Goldie Hammerfall and Stinky asked you to gather heart-shaped essences so she could create a love potion. Reward was one of 4 candles, depending on how many of each colored essence you brought back. These candles are now reward options from both the evil and good version of Love Lines.

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

From 2011

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

Old Secret Admirer Note

Single Red Rose (No-Value) (Visible)

Once a gift from your secret admirer, you can now complete the races to get this item.

On February 09, 2007, players began receiving in-game mail from "Your Secret Admirer" with a subject line of "Be Mine?".

From 2007-2014, your mailbox would receive the following note, which was later replaced by the new version of the My Romantic Reputation quest:

My dearest <player name>,
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.
Until then, know all of my love abides with you, although we have never met.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer

Attached to the email was a Single Red Rose, a house-placeable item.
