Background

Who is causing this "Love Sickness?"

Something is in the air in the major cities of Azeroth. Some call it love, and some just call it friendship and admiration. Whichever it is, many guards and townsfolks now spend their days giving and receiving tokens and gifts to other amorous citizens.

The more skeptical, however, are suspicious of the strange "love sickness" clouding the hearts of so many. Will this widespread occurrence be simply taken as a recent outbreak of amore? Or will our brave adventurers find a sinister plot behind the source of this plague of passion? Only time will tell...

Love Tokens, Gifts and Pledges

Talk to an Innkeeper to buy some [Unknown Item: Love Token]s and some [Unknown Item: Perfume Bottle]s if you want to attract male NPCs, or [Unknown Item: Cologne Bottle]s if you want Female NPCs to like you! Use the perfume or cologne on yourself, then go looking for an NPC with a heart above their head (not the Innkeeper).

When you've found a suitable object for your affections, making sure you have the Cologne/Perfume buff, talk to your chosen NPC. When prompted, give them a [Unknown Item: Love Token]. In return, the NPC will give you a Pledge of Adoration (see below) and an "Adored" buff. If you already have the "Adored" buff, you will receive a Pledge of Friendship.

However, if they don't like the look of you, you will not receive anything except a "Broken Heart" debuff. This debuff prevents you from giving a [Unknown Item: Love Token] to another NPC for 60 minutes. The only way to remove the debuff is to have another player use an [Unknown Item: Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet] on you. Once it has been used, you will receive a [Unknown Item: Friendship Bracelet] in your inventory.

Pledge of Adoration

The pledge you sometimes receive for giving a [Unknown Item: Love Token] to an NPC contains an assortment of things:

[Unknown Item: Bag of Candies] - Heart candy with the player's name on it, along with a sentiment such as "I'll follow you around Azeroth". These candies can be given to other players.

[Unknown Item: Box of Chocolates] - contains a selection of chocolates consisting of a mixture of the following:

[Unknown Item: Buttermilk Delight]
[Unknown Item: Dark Desire]
[Unknown Item: Sweet Surprise]
[Unknown Item: Very Berry Cream]

[Unknown Item: Handful of Rose Petals] - Shower a nearby target with a cascade of rose petals!

[Unknown Item: Love Fool] - Drops a love dummy on the ground that drives nearby monsters into an envious rage! Lasts for 15 seconds.

[Unknown Item: Silver Shafted Arrow] - Shoot a player, and will find them! (Only works on players with no current critter pets.)

[Unknown Item: Unbestowed Friendship Bracelet] - Give to a Heartbroken player to cheer them up.

[Unknown Item: Truesilver Shafted Arrow] - Right Click to summon and dismiss .

Pledge of Friendship

If you have the "Adored" buff when giving your [Unknown Item: Love Token] to an NPC, instead of receiving a Pledge of Adoration, you will get a Pledge of Friendship. What you get depends on the NPC you speak to, and where they are located.

Civilian NPCs will give the following items. If 5 of these pledges are combined, they produce another object:
