Hm... if we get any drops for valentine, probably we are getting just Chocolates and Champagne:
- Chocolates: Sweet. The typical chocolate bonbons. Sugar rush 10 minutes, (+2 Sweet Tooth).
- Mature Barradin's Champagne: Alcoholic beverage. (+5 grade of drunkenness)
- Champagne Popper. Visual effect item. (Nothing)


But why not other things too, like, for example:
- Choco-cake: +5% Morale Bonus party-wide. (+1 Sweet Tooth.)
- Choco-cookies: Gain 10% Morale Bonus. (+1 Sweet Tooth)

- Valentine candy: Sweet. They icon would be a bunch of heart-shaped candy pilled up, and when you use one, the characters shouts a line: "I wuv you!", "Be Mine!", "You leave me Breathless!", "I want U babe!", etc... And a one random effect happens for you and nearest party member each time you use one of those candies. (+2 Sweet Tooth). Possible effects in the list of random effects could be:
L - Restoring Love (Full HP, Full energy, lose all conditions and hexes, recharge all skills) No effect icon since it's instant.
L - "First Kiss" (Lose all DP, gain 10% morale bonus) No effect icon since it's instant.
L - Shield Heart (+20 armor for 10 minutes.) Green/Blue.
L - Power of Love (+4 HP regen for 10 minutes.) Red/White.
L - Charmed (+10 Energy for 10 minutes) Purple/Black.
L - Invigorating Love (+100 HP for 10 minutes) Yellow/Orange.
L - Love Experience (Triple XP during 10 minutes) Green/White
L - Unstoppable Love (Immunity to all speed(move, cast and attack) decrease effects for 10 minutes) (White/Blue)
L - First Sight Love (+25% Increased move, cast and attack speed for 10 minutes) (Pink/White)
Of course, if there are no party members within earshot, you would just gain the 2 Sweet Tooth points, and no effect happens.
Each effect would have its unique effect icon, and each one would look like a different colored heart with a love message.

- Bouquet: Visual Effect item. Target a party member and use it. Removes 15% Death Penalty from target other party member and gives 2% MB to you. Just a visual effect if you do not target a party member.

Hey, why all items must be for self use? XDDD

I think it would be better if Event drops had unique special effects, and not the usual ones we have. They would be better if they were fun, like the +1 treasure hunter when picking Golden Eggs.

Do you have any other idea of possible thing that could work related to Valentines? Visual effects, Valentine-related drinks, valentine relade sweets...?

I like the "First Kiss" one, if these were actual drops, and were avaliable for a week around Valentines day (not just the day) I'd farm them for my boyfriend, as he's going for Sweettooth and I'm romantic like that

Well, they won't be separate items. They would be random effects of the candy.
Just like the random effects of the lunar fortunes. Otherwise they would be a bit too much as they put them, XD.

Actually, it's both my job and my hobby 'to have ideas'. It's just a bit hard to filter them out without the help of other people brainstorming, but I'm far from the leel required to be part of a Staff like Anet's, XDDDD.

I've though of another one:

*Self-wrapping: Visual effect item. You get cute red wrapping ribbon on your head that stays there for 10 seconds.

Hey! Not better gift of love than giving yourself as a present! XDD

It was a cross-reference.

[A heart +4 (4 pieces) Zelda] + [Power of Love song] + [Vanguard Effect(Red skill icons)]

Forgot to tell, each random effect would have an icon with a different color, featuring different colored hearts:

Imagine someone that gets a lot of those and uses them until he gets one effect of each (may take a lot of time and candy since it's random)

I would pay to see a screenshot of that, XDD.

Although I HATE the concept of the holiday of Valentine's Day in RL, I'm all for excuses to get more stuff for Sweet Tooth.

Although, I wouldn't hold my breath for it happening. Keep in mind Chinese (aka Canthan) New Year is coming up (probablly this weekend). Two holiday weekends back to back isn't likely).

Then you are lucky you don't leave in Japan. In Japan, February 14th 'girlz' give chocolates to 'boyz', then in March 14th, boys have to respond to the girls they like with more chocolate.

Hm... this could be exploited to sell faction... so unless a way to prevent that were added... how could you make it impossible to get cash from a gift?

So forgive me if I dont want to put myself into that "cant get a g/f" nerd catergory

Wait, wait. I never told about 'romance'!

(Don' tell anyone, but part of the fun with this is that by using some of the items I suggest you could end showing you 'love' to a character of the same gender... Some Like It Hot, they say, XDDDDDD)

I never meant this items to 'give something to your lover'. Just... show some love to your friends by using a consumable that works in others, not just in you.

And everyone likes chocolates...
Hm...
Chocolate...

Which person in the world would get a couple online, anyways?

...

I said 'person'. XDDD

Ok that bit I didnt read! I can see it now "Hey, do you fancy popping into this game online, so I can give your a candy heart" !

Its a nifty idea, but those valentines scrouges like myself might get a bit fed up of seeing a valentines title on everyone. It would be like "ughhh everyones got a loved one except me"!

I think ill personally stick to the yellow pages and interflora and emptying my bank account in a vain attempt to show affection.

No doubt if I was in a better mood id love and rave the idea. But valentines is such a fickel time of year, that not everyone likes it and it all depends on your state of relationship.

Ah, I was only thinking of the nice thing you can do for a friend and totally forgot about people selling them.... *sigh* guess that's not possible then.
