Love is in the air of the Secret World! Can you feel it, sweetlings?
The Valentine’s Day event is a small event that introduces special seasonal items to give to or receive from friends and loved ones. As of Valentine's Day 2020, it now also consists of the Rosenbrawl Open Week, which adds an Investigation Mission and associated Sides, Achievements, and the return of the SOULMATE matchmaking machines for the first time since Valentine's Day 2013!
Love shines bright even in the darkest of days.
All cosmetic items acquired during a seasonal event have their entries marked in the Dressing Room, Pet and Sprint UI, and Emote UI with a special seasonal sale icon that signifies that an item or items is acquired through the event. These icons are seasonally appropriate in shape. Seasonally acquired cosmetics are bumped to the top of their UI lists during the event for greater visibility.
For Valentine's Day, the icon is a pink heart. If ever unsure what cosmetics are exclusive for Valentine's Day, just look for a heart.
The ever-caring Tree Tender can be found tending to the Seed of Life within the Hollowed Halls of Agartha (560,180). For the season of love, the Tree Tender wears heart pajamas, and can easily be spotted by the vibrant clothing choice.
The Tree Tender sells a variety of items, the majority of which are flowers outside of events. For Valentine's Day, the Tree Tender has loot bags, a release dove, and even a scooter to sell!
Only some of the items sold by the Tree Vendor are seasonal.
The following seasonal items are sold by the Tree Tender during the Valentine's Day event. Non-seasonal items are not listed here but are still sold by the Tree Tender year-round, including during this event.
The Rosenbrawl Open Week marks the first fully-fledged compontent of Valentine's Day to grace the Secret World since Valentine's Day itself came! The Rosenbrawl Open Week features an Investigation Mission, Side Mission, and Bounty, all of it from the comforts of the Rosenbrawl pocket dimension!
Accessed from within the Tabula Rasa in London, the Rosenbrawl is a special pocket dimension primed for the fight - and its owner is giving invitations to everyone they can! All players Level 15 and above who log in during the event receive a special SMS from Mr Rosenbaum himself. This SMS functions as an invite to the Rosenbrawl, which allows the person who reads it to begin the attunement mission The Rosenbrawl! Normally, invitations must be granted by another player who already has access to the Rosenbrawl. During Rosenbrawl Open Week, there's no need to wait.
While Rosenbrawl Open Week is active, it is not possible to invite other players, as they will have received an invite from the event and you cannot invite somebody who already has an invite, so the mission A New Contender is disabled until the end of the event.
From within the Rosenbrawl, bees fight bees by fist-to-fist combat! Take up one of three types of boxing gloves with varying mechanics and join the arena - and watch out, because Special Guests may come at any time for a fight! This lighthearted PvP minigame has multiple rewards and achievements in its own right, and during the Rosenbrawl Open week, it offers so much more...
Are you ready to fight for love, sweetling?
A generous mood has befallen Mr Rosenbaum, prompting him to invite all Secret Worlders to visit the Rosenbrawl. Despite the cheerful atmosphere, something in the Rosenbrawl stands out: a SOULMATE matchmaking cabinet. These have not graced Ealdwic since 2013, and yet a fully functional machine sits where it hadn't before.
Why not have a look?
A Match Made in Rosenbrawl can be acquired at the SOULMATE Arcade Machine in The Rosenbrawl. After becoming attuned to the brawl, The Rosenbrawl itself can be accessed by entering the Tabula Rasa in London (150,330), purchasing an Access Key - The Rosenbrawl for 100 Anima Shards, and using the key in the ominous cube in the middle of the inn.
A Match Made in Rosenbrawl requires that a player be at least Level 15.
BUG: A recommended Level of 50 is given by A Match Made in Rosenbrawl. This is an error. It can still be completed by anyone Level 15 and above.
A Match Made in Rosenbrawl
A comprehensive investigation walkthrough for A Match Made in Rosenbrawl is available HERE!
It is only by interacting with the SOULMATE Arcade Machine and joining the queue to find a match that the aptly named mission 'Matched' can be completed. Matched is a Special Area Assignment, or 'Bounty Mission', that both appears and completes after defeating your match in the Rosenbrawl.
This mission can be completed every 5 minutes due to its short cooldown period. The only limiting factor outside of this 5-minute mission cooldown is how long the SOULMATE takes to assign matches and how long it takes to win.
There is Romantic Cake at the end as a reward for your efforts. It's a delicious treat the whole group can enjoy!
Upon successful completion of A Match Made in Rosenbrawl, it becomes possible to engage in the highly repeatable Side Mission A Friendly Competition at the very Portal in London (140,125) that leads to the single-encounter instance A Fragment In Between.
This mission has a difficulty selection prompt and can be completed solo or as a group of up to five players, with available difficulties ranging from Story Mode to Elite 17 depending on Item Power. The boss encounter within holds multiple phases and abilities to watch out for!
The Reward Chest from defeating the Masked Woman at the end of A Friendly Competition and A Match Made in Rosenbrawl can be opened freely once per 8 hour period for maximum rewards. Any subsequent chests opened during the cooldown period will contain reduced rewards, but rewards nonetheless. All contain Romantic Cake!
A Friendly Competition
A walkthrough for A Friendly Competition is available here!

These can be previewed in the Dressing Room and can be easily identified thanks to the pink heart icon denoting a Valentine's Day seasonal item.
