Friendship points & heart levels
The first daily conversation gives 7 friendship points, and each character can receive one gift per day. Friendship does not decay, and negative gifts do not remove points.

Gift points
Birthdays add 20 points to the gift’s normal value, even when the recipient dislikes it.
| Preference | Normal day | Birthday |
|---|---|---|
| Loved | +20 | +40 |
| Liked | +10 | +30 |
| Neutral | +3 | +23 |
| Disliked | +0 | +20 |
| Hated | +0 | +20 |
How talk, gifts, birthdays, and events move hearts
Friendship never decays. Negative gifts do not remove points. The first talk and one gift each day are the reliable loop; events and dates are extra jumps.
First daily conversation
The first conversation each day is worth 7 points. Later talks the same day do not add more hearts.
Gift points
Loved gifts are worth the most. Disliked and hated gifts add 0 on a normal day, so they never reduce the total.
Birthday
A birthday always adds 20 extra points on top of the gift’s normal value, even when the recipient dislikes it.
Heart events
Even-numbered hearts open mailed heart quests for romance candidates. Finish the previous quest before waiting for the next letter.
If hearts stop moving
Relationship is not advancing: check in this order
Most stalls are unfinished heart events, unmet story gates, or a version limit—not missing daily gifts.
- Confirm today’s first talk and one gift actually landed. Friendship does not fall overnight.
- At 2, 4, 6, or 8 hearts, check mail, the request board, and the quest destination before grinding more points.
- Caldarus and Seridia gain early hearts from the dragon seal storyline, not from ordinary mailed quests.
- Some 8-heart events also need town repairs, the Deep Woods, or a Fire Seal quest. That is story progress, not a friendship bug.
- If every visible event is done and hearts still sit below 10, you may be waiting on dating, a later heart event, or content the current version does not add.
