🎁 Gift Efficiency Tips
- One gift per NPC per day – Resets at 4:00 UTC (daily reset).
- Star‑quality items give +25% extra friendship points. Always give the best version you have.
- Weekly Wants: Each NPC has 3 random “weekly wanted” items (check their dialogue). Giving a wanted item gives double friendship.
- Birthday gifts: If you give a gift on an NPC's birthday (check calendar), you get triple friendship.
- Don’t give hated items – They reduce friendship (-5 points).
