X-45 Heartbreaker

The subject of this article or section is part of Love is in the Air, a seasonal event that lasts two weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.

Mounting the X-45 Heartbreaker includes a heart effect.

The X-45 Heartbreaker is a mount available only as an extremely rare drop during the Love is in the Air event.

This mount is rarely contained in the [Heart-Shaped Box], awarded for current-expansion-level (60-70) adventurers' first defeat of Apothecary Hummel each day in the event dungeon. It traditionally had an extremely low drop rate, but since the holiday's occurrence in 2023, it had has an increased chance once per day per account.

The Love is in the Air world event is right around the corner, and we’re sharing the love this holiday season.

We’ve heard your feedback on the frustrations with X-45 Heartbreaker’s low drop rate and feeling the pressure of having to farm the mount by cycling through as many alts as possible every day. From now on, the first Heart-Shaped Box you receive each day across your Battle.net account will have a greatly increased chance to contain the X-45 Heartbreaker mount.

Any subsequent Heart-Shaped Boxes you earn on your characters after the first each day will drop the mount at the previous, original rate.

Love is in the Air begins on February 6 at 10:00 a.m. PST in all regions. So spritz on your favorite perfume and head to the Shadowfang Keep event dungeon to defeat Apothecary Hummel for your chance at the fantastic flying fuschia fuselage you’ve fancied far too fervently for what seems like forever.

Good luck adventurers!
