Valentione's Day: The Bonds of Love LIVE

[Magnesium02]

As far as I can tell, the event has 4 parts.

1) get in a duo with anyone and talk to the first NPC to declare a bond of pure love
Reward: Paramour Pendant, 3 chocolates, Acheivement

2) get in a duo with a character of a certain race & GC aligment to declare a bond of dear love in all 3 cities
Reward: Platinum Paramour Pendant, 3 Chocolates, Acheivement
(only get chocolates if you haven't obtained in that game day. You can declare your love at each city regardless of the day, but only get chocs once)

3) use a consecrated chocolate on a character to give them 1 "Glory of Love Points". Talk to 2nd NPC to get your love points evaluated. When you gather 20 points (not sure if this is individually or jointly) you get a reward
Reward: Band of Eternal Love, Acheivement (x2 if you get all 3 chokers)

4) people who accumulate the most amount of Glory of Love points in a day (resets 24 hrs) gets nominated Eorzea's most loving couple.
Reward: Lodestone History acheivement?

Notes:
¤ Couples can be any race and gender
¤ You can only declare love multiple times per day for either deep or pure, but can only get chocolates once per game day
¤ The specified character type changes each day
¤ 24 hour turover time is IN GAME CLOCK on real time.
¤ The specified character type is the same in each city, but the company bust be the city's company (e.g. Uldah had a Flames Elezen, Limsa had Maelstrom Elezen, Grid had Adder Elezen)
¤ Once you get your Glory of Love points recorded for the day they are reset (e.g. if you record @20 for the item, you will have to start over again if you want the max in one day - unless 20 will win you the maz)
¤ Glory of Love points will accumulate until you get them recorded. You can get them evaluated without them being set down and reset
¤ Each city has its own top couple standing (i.e. there can be 3 winners per game day, so try a deserted city)

So, if I'm reading this correctly, you cannot complete the event with your actual real life partner or friends? I guess I can understand that in terms of a MMO you have to do something that can include all players, but it's still a drag for me. My boyfriend and I made an effort to do every event in the game so far together, it's ironic that the only one we won't be able to is the valentine's day event.

Hi Kio,

No, you can. (at least most of it)

The Bond of Pure Love (Paramour Pendant, Chocolate, and Achievement) = With anyone you choose (your boy/girlfriend, etc.).

The Bond of Dear Love (Platinum Paramour, Choco and Achievement) = Finding the NPC declared "Race / Grand Company-affiliation of the Day" (random)

The Band of Eternal Love and Achievement = Getting up to 20 "Glory of Love" Points from getting Chocolates and using them on each other (you and your partner).

And as Magnesium said, you can even go after the "Most Loving Couple" Achievement with your partner (whoever you choose) by getting the most amount of Love Points per day.

So 3 of the 4 goals here are with whoever you choose. Enjoy!

Periodically SE needs to make sure Limsa and Gridania satisfy a minimum population requirement.
