Erollisi Day
From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki
|
Erollisi Day is an annual Live Event which coincides with the terrestrial celebration of Valentine's Day, held in honor and celebration of Erollisi Marr, the Norrathian Goddess of Love and Beauty.
[edit] 2005
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.
The quest was available from Priest Aaronolis Swornlove or Priestess Annalisa Swornlove. Oddly, Aaronolis seems to have not a clue about the current ED festivities going on. He has continued to hang out in Antonica on the bridge to North Qeynos for the nice view.
[edit] 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.

[edit] Premonitions
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.
[edit] Secret Admirer
_(Visible).jpg)
On February 09, 2007, players began receiving in-game mail from "Your Secret Admirer" with a subject line of "Be Mine?". The letter read:
- 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.
[edit] Love Lines
This world event quest starts in one of two locations, depending on where you find the new NPC named Dalron. Dalron Pinot (North Qeynos), standing in front of the Claymore Monument offers the Love Lines (Qeynos) quest. Dalron Pinot (East Freeport) standing at the docks offers Love Lines (Freeport). It seems he fancies himself quite the ladies' man, and is willing to teach you how to use pickup lines. Assuming the guards don't kill you, you can do Dalron's quest in both Qeynos and Freeport in order to get both special abilities (they count as 2 different quests).
[edit] Gift Merchants
There are merchants (Douglas and Steven) standing next to the mailboxes outside the taverns in East Freeport and Qeynos Harbor. They sell a wide range of flower arrangements, as well as pillows and candies.
[edit] Hearts 'a Flutter Contest
In a mix of last years search for essences, combined with in-game game aspect of the Frostfell Candycane Grab'n'Tag, the Hearts 'a Flutter Contest requires contestants to run all over Antonica or the The Commonlands collecting Erollisi essences. The one who collects the most essences in the alloted time wins that round of the game, gets their name on the leader board, and wins a small prize for 1st through 4th place. Everyone else receives a Single Red Rose, same as the one you receive in the mail from your anonymous admirer.
To sign up for the game, speak to Goldie Hammerfall at the tree in front of the North Qeynos Gate in Antonica or speak with Stinky in front of the West Freeport gate in the The Commonlands. If you are in Kelethin, speak to the Erollisi Day Promoter by the mailbox outside the bank. She will transport you to Antonica for the game. After playing, talk to Lucy Lovewing (another ED Promoter) and she will send you home again.
Rules and useful facts
- The game itself lasts for 5 minutes, and needs 3 players minimum.
- There is a 1 hour 20 minute wait between games.
- This includes a 1 hour sign-up period that counts down in the game window.
- The sign-up period is followed by a Ready to Start period for the remaining 20 minutes (no countdown given). You can still sign up during this period.
- Best solution is use an alarm/countdown timer to warn you to sign-up while doing something else. Make sure to allow yourself enough time to get to the game zone and sign up.
- Once you are signed up, you can leave the game window open even if you move to other side of the zone to see how many are playing.
- While the game is running, no speed buffs of any sort work. You will still have your horse/carpet/buff, but no effect from it.
- There are 4 colors of essences you can collect (blue, red, purple, and mix of all 3). You get 1 point from each, but the mixed color essence also gives you short duration 65% speed buff (less than 20 seconds).
- The essences tend to show up the most in areas where you will find lots of harvestables.
- Make sure to set your rendering distance and particle effect distances as high as your system will allow for best chance of seeing the essences.

Like the Frostfell race, only the 1st place reward is unique. The rest can be bought from the Erollisi Day merchants.
