Love is in the air again in the World of Warcraft, and that means tons of achievements to be had by all, not to mention some fat lewts by the seasonal boss Apothecary Hummel who has taken up residence inside of Shadowfang Keep in Tristfall Glades. Closest road there is to take the flight path to Southshore and hang a left on the road till you get there. No worries though because the summoning stone is up and running for all levels for the duration of the Holiday.

This boss is a new boss this year and is a standard heroic level 82 elite boss.  I pugged a group in minutes, and once was there grabed the daily quest to kill him from the goblin inside the instance. Killing him will get you the holiday achievement Tough Love.  He asks you to serve Court Subpoena to the boss and gives you a package containing said subpena along with two potions, Perfume Neutralizer, Cologne Neutralizer, both of which you use during the fight to stop the poison damage.  Other than poping the potions to stop the AOE damage, there is a bit of crowd control for the adds but they aren’t tough.  Mostly its a tank and spank and I had no trouble healing it, just make sure to keep your hots up incase someone in group forgets to pop their potion on time because the poisons will tick off some heavy damage.  The following is the loot list…even a super epic new Flying Mount!

Apothecary Hummel drops epic quality (item level 226) amulets which are the equivalent of Wrath of the Lich King’s second tier Emblem of Conquest neckpieces.

• Winking Eye of Love (Frozen Tear of Elune)
• Heartbreak Charm (Evoker’s Charm)
• Shard of Pirouetting Happiness (Shard of the Crystal Forest)
• Sweet Perfume Broach (Broach of the Wailing Night)
• Choker of the Pure Heart (Spiked Battleguard Choker)

Apothecary Hummel also drops some fun seasonal items, including a fancy rose for your character’s hair, a gas mask (YES!), a non-combat oozeling companion, and an item so powerful it can break your heart!

• Forever-Lovely Rose
• Vile Fumigator’s Mask
• Toxic Wasteling
• The Heartbreaker

As if those things were cool enough, Apothecary Hummel also has an extremely low chance to drop the most stylish flying mount ever – the Big Love Rocket! Nah..no innuendo there…

So get out there, down that boss and have fun with the holiday.  Oh and send me any screenshots if you manage to get the new mount, I’ll post it on the site and give your credit for your epic win!  Ronne@worldofweirdcraft.net
