The Source Revealed

Find Apothecary Staffron Lerent in the Hillsbrad Foothills behind Ravenholdt Manor.

Description

What? Treason? No, no. I assure you, my intentions are completely harmless.

Is it so wrong to help those who wish to ease the painful ritual of courtship? Come, that is no crime.

And to prove that I mean no harm, I will even tell you my source.

They were shipped to me by a Staffron Lerent, an apothecary of some sort. I never spoke with him.

Our goblin middle man said that he worked in the foothills over Hillsbrad past that mysterious Ravenholdt Manor. I wish you luck in finding him.

Completion

Yes, I made those fragrances. Wonderful smell, isn't it? Irresistible.

Once the warriors of Alliance and Horde alike are smitten with these feelings of love, they will be powerless to stop the rise of the Shadow Council.

They will be weakened, unprepared. As they worry for their loved ones, they will lose their edge.

The solution was so simple. Why did it take me so long to come upon it? The weakness of all is through the heart. And there is nothing you can do to stop the inevitable.

Completing this quest allows you to use Staffron's cauldron which gives you access to ""amorous clothing"".

After you complete this quest the ghost of a human female appears, and the following conversation unfolds:

Annalise Lerent says: Staffron...
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise? Is that you?
Annalise Lerent says: My dear Staffron, have you forgotten what it is to love? The love that we once shared?
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Have I forgotten? Of course I have... I have forgotten about love, happiness... of life itself.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: But I do know this - love makes the heart and body weak. It can be exploited. Without your love, I have only my work, Annalise.
Annalise Lerent says: But of course I love you, Staffron. And it pains me to see you suffer so.
Annalise Lerent says: I pledge my love to you forever. Death cannot erase that, even as I am sure that you still remember your love for me.
Annalise Lerent says: And if you do not, then I am truly lost.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: How could you love me, Annalise? Look at me. I am not the man you once knew.

[Annalise begins to fade out]

Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise? Annalise! No, don't leave me!

[Staffron cries]

Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: Annalise... you're right. I-I can't do this. I must find another way.
Apothecary Staffron Lerent says: You there. You're welcome to take the contents of my cauldron. It was to be the second stage of my plan - amorous clothing.

This part of the quest cannot be completed after the Valentine's Day holiday is over. I left this quest in my log for about three months before deciding to get it out of the way, but Staffron wasn't there.

Clicking and using the cauldron is needed for credit for the https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1695#criteria-of Nearest and Dearest and https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1707 Fool For Love achievements.

Celice's directions are perfect. However, I found the entrance to the Ravenholdt Manor path at about 76, 86. Go to Southshore, take the road out of town. Turn Right and head past Tarren Mill. Cut left just in front of Durnhold Keep and hug the mountains to your right. Path is on your Right.

kiri's post is just awesome, remember though the coords are for Hillsbrad, but when you reach Ravenholdt you will be in Alterac, so follow the Hillsbrad Map :)
