Lovely Charm Farming Guide (Patreon)

Over the last few days I have been conducting a thorough investigation of the Love Is In The Air Holiday Festival , with regard to lovely charm farming spots. 

It seems that in 2020 that most in-world mobs with low HP have been nerfed and no longer award charms. This covers mobs that were popular in previous years but also very obscure mobs that few if any other players knew about. The "fix" may be algorithmic. 

After testing dozens of locations in-game these are my recommendations:

1. The fastest practically attainable charm is the Everbloom dungeon in Gorgrond, Draenor. This was a popular charm farm in recent years but is no longer accessible to the majority of players at level 120. However, class trials can enter this dungeon and receive lovely charms. The technique is not known to the wider wow community.

 How to do it:

i. Create class trial. 

ii. Wait 1-2 days. During this time you will not be able to enter any instances at all.

iii. You will find after this period that you can enter Warlords Of Draenor dungeons only. This is probably because when class trials were brought in Draenor was current content and they have never updated this with subsequent expansions.

iv. Run Everbloom on your trial. Pull all trash to the second bosses and kill everything. Done optimally it takes around 2 minutes to get 40 charms.  

You will hit instance lockout after 10 runs. You can still run Iron Docks as this is a fresh dungeon and does not count toward lockout-or in fact any Draenor dungeon, during this lockout period.

2. The best ever charm farm involves using a monk in Mogu'Shan Palace. You put down a brewmaster ox statue in the passage that opens up after the first boss and on your right a flock of bats emerge and can be aggro'd by a monk statue-they award charms.

This is relatively well known however it requires a lvl 100 monk which few possess. There is a hack here if you possess a higher level monk-simply persuade someone with a level 100 character to party sync with you. Multi-boxing works fine also. Demon hunters start at level 100 if you do not possess a level 100 toon. 

3. Party sync damage exploits work fine (eg  https://www.patreon.com/posts/33133831 ) for charm farming. In theory a player could aggro every mob in a dungeon, then move away from them with something like demonic circle. summon an infernal, activate party sync, and then accumulate vast numbers of charms. This is possible, I have done it, but it can be quite challenging from a timing perspective. I'm guessing few players will put in the effort to master this technique but for those do it will be faster than anything (2000+ charms per hour in theory with no mistakes for larger dungeons) if you can master it. 

4. Finally, this one is very challenging and probably should only be attempted by individuals who like to find their own exploits. At the end of the Broken Shore scenario (the Legion introductory scenario) Horde players only can use a special glitch. As the end cinematic when the Horde escape and Varian Wyrnn is killed, use alt+f4.

When you relog you should have a ridiculously large number of demons in front of you. It may even crash slower computers-there is clearly a bug. These demons do award xp and should drop lovely charms. 

There are several problems with this method. First, it isn't actually that easy to get access to the scenario-the easiest way is by just dinging 100 on a fresh character-there are other ways but they tend to conflict with the phasing of the BFA scenario. Second the game keeps on trying to port you out and alt+f4 becomes increasingly ineffective at preventing the port. 

So, in theory this is the best charm farm ever. In practice it is horribly complicated and frustrating.
