It’s that time of year once again, where we annoy and disgust our closest friends by drooling all over our latest love interests. EQ2 started their Valentines Day celebrations this week although it was not without glitches. There is a long list of patch notes for today about them, in fact. Just one problem, the issues that I was experiencing don’t seem to be common nor are they listed here. I use the streaming client and I am unable to see any of the new Erollisi Day items – this includes the gazebo, the new divider, the crafted books, tables, chairs, and candles. I posted on forums but no one got back to me about any of the issues nor did I see anyone mention that they had the same problem so I really have no idea how to fix this. I’ve scanned twice without any luck. Hopefully the patch today brings some light to the matter. The items are in my inventory, they’re just not able to be placed / seen.
If you’re interested in a rundown of the events for 2011 you can find some great write-ups over on Eq2.wikia:
My Romantic Reputation
Shortly after you log in this Erollisi season, you will receive the quest My Romantic Reputation.
Your Secret Admirer
Once again your admirer is back, mailing you a fresh-cut rose. This will help you get started on My Romantic Reputation and earning Titles of Love (see below).
Collections
New with 2011 Erollis Day festivities is the collection quest, Romantic Flower Petals.
Gift Merchants
The merchants (Douglas and Steven) are once again to be found next to the mailboxes outside the taverns in East Freeport and Qeynos Harbor. New items this year include Blushing Lover, Puppy Love Plushie, Shard of Love Stag Plushie, and the amazing Pink Unicorn steed.
Titles of Love
Earn one of several suffix titles by gifting others with fresh-cut roses. You can harvest roses in the Enchanted Lands.
Find ’em a Find, Catch ’em a Catch!
The quest Find ’em a Find, Catch ’em a Catch! returns again to Norrath (see 2009 section below).
Love Lines
The two NPCs Dalron Pinot (North Qeynos) and Dalron Pinot (East Freeport) also return this year (see 2009 section below).
Total Eclipse of the Heart
New for 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 will need to complete his previous questline (Bouquet of Trust, Harts Full of Trust, and Sacrificial Trust) before he will offer it to you.
What’s Love Got to Do With It?
Priestess Annalisa Swornlove offers the quest What’s Love Got to Do With It? in New Halas. You will find Annalisa near the shrine of Erollisi.
Since I skipped Erollisi Day last year almost all of the quests were new to me, and I had a fun time completing them all. I didn’t experience any of the other bugs that players had such as crashing in Halas or having issues completing quests – but again I’d really like to be able to SEE my rewards.
Do you have any special in-game plans for this Erollisi Day? Let me know in comments!
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
HI, basic noob question here. I’ve harvested 25 fresh cut roses, but how do I ‘give’ them to other characters? Whenever I right click on them, I don’t know which option to choose…do they have to be my ‘friend’ first? Thx
Has your problem been resolved? I use the streaming client and I’m having no problems seeing the items, although whatever fix they put in for Halas seems to have removed a texture so that I see huge gaping holes in the floor (fortunaely they are still solid, even though they don’t look it!)
