It is time, once again, for the celebration of Erollisi Marr, goddess of love. This year's celebration of Erollisi Day will run from February 9, 2023 at 12:01am PST through February 22, 2023 at 11:59pm PST on the live servers*.
*Special Rules servers:
This event has a massive amount of content returning from past years, and a small amount of new content to help keep things fresh. The new content includes a new "Love Renewed" achievement, an "Eternally Enamored of Erollisi" achievement which is an updated verson of the old "Enamored of Erollisi" achievement (updated to include newer quests), a new recipe book with new items to craft, seven new buyable items, and a new reward that drops in the "Love Will Lead You Back" Public Quest.
If you're familiar with Erollisi Day, you can skip this section. :D
Various mobs around Norrath will drop love notes or hard candies. Generally, this tends to be mostly humanoid-type mobs, such as would be likely to have Lore and Legend quests, though there are a few odd ones, like shik'nar, that you wouldn't traditionally think of as intelligent. :D Additionally, a pack pony that has been upgraded via A Gathering Obsession Beyond the Grave" can bring back 100 mixed love notes and hard candies per 2-hour run.
The vendors for the event can be found in Qeynos Harbor and in East Freeport. In both cases, they are outside the building housing the city's mercenaries, and the NPCs in both cities have the same names.
The notes and hard candies can be: 1) used as-is as the primary ingredient in the holiday crafting recipes, 2) traded in to Heartgar MacInnes (Qeynos Harbor & East Freeport) for barbarian love notes, so they all can stack together for easier depot storage, 3) traded to Liannya Heartswell (also in Qeynos Harbor and East Freeport) to convert them to Erollisi Coins. Once they are converted to coins, they cannot be converted back to love notes, so make sure you're not mass-converting your entire stash into coins when you wanted to set some aside for crafting. Bank/depot the ones you want to craft with before you convert the desired number into coins.
The coins can then be spent at the two vendors, Douglas and Steven. (Imagine that, they are also in Qeynos Harbor and East Freeport!) While I am only presenting information on this year's new buyables, not the other offerings on the vendors, there are lots of lovely goodies from past years on them as well.
The wiki article contains more information on the various quests, collections, etc. and is a good guide for the overall event when paired with the quest tracker linked down near the bottom of the page.

The "Love Renewed" achievement for collecting specific love notes and hard candies will require that some of the collecting be done in Renewal of Ro zones. As with other love loot achievements, if a note or candy drops from mobs in multiple zones, you can collect it wherever you wish. (Grey mobs can drop them as well.) For this achievement you will need Raj'Dur mobs (such as the Raj'Dur Bandits), Cursed Elddar, Ortallians, Cyclops, Yha'lei, Beholders, and Golems. Completion of this achievement will grant the suffix title "Heartstopper."
The new "Eternally Enamored of Erollisi" achievement, which replaces the "Enamored of Erollisi" achievement will require completion of:
