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 on a character's first defeat of Apothecary Hummel each day. It traditionally had an extremely low drop rate, but since 2023, it had has an increased chance to appear from the first box opened by the Warband each day.

Drop rate chances

X-45 Heartbreaker Mount Drop Rate Increase | 2023-02-03 11:30 |  Linxy

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!

This was clarified again in 2025:

The X-45 Heartbreaker only has a chance to drop from the first Heart-Shaped Box per Warband per day | 2025-02-05 14:58 |  Kaivax

Hello. We recognize that we’ve made some changes to holiday reward drops over the last couple of years, and we can see that a bit of clarification is called for here.

For Love is in the Air 2025:

• Legacy drops, such as the X-45 Heartbreaker, have a much higher chance to drop on your first attempt of the day (WoW account-wide). There is a very small chance to receive legacy drops on subsequent attempts made the same day, for players who enjoy running the content on multiple characters.
• New drops, such as the Love Witch's Sweeper, can only drop on your first attempt of the day (WoW account-wide), and will see an increasing chance to drop with each new day that a first attempt is completed.

Good luck out there. Don’t stand in the Crown Chemical Company’s chemicals!
