Rapport items, should I just use them?

[XistenZ]

In every game I play I have this irrational fear of using consumables. I just save them "for when I really need them", which basically means never.
The game throws an infinite amount of chests at you, and now I'm especially thinking about the rapport items. Some NPCs will give island souls, some are just to complete an area 100%. Instead of slowly grinding these NPCs up with emotes and songs, should I just throw all my items at them or is there any point where I REALLY need these items?

Look into rapport rewards There should be wolf Mount too. You can choose what rapport item the right npc want to use the most out of it.

Use them on the VERY good npcs, you can "oneshot" them and avoid their requirements in virtues.

the early you start,the better,focus on thirian for gold and skill points or your favourite waifu so you can put her on your island bed and also dress her .

So, depends on an item.
1. Relic items give always 10.000 points, except 2 of them which give 5.000 to one of the genders. So use them at 10000 and you won't lose anything.
2. Legendaries always give 2000 rapport, so use them whenever.
3. Purples can give up to 450 points at certain NPC. So you can consider if using them below it is worth it or if you want to check if any NPC gets more rep from them.

About which NPCs to max first, there are a few things to consider:
- some NPCs give items for cooking for Adventure Tome. If you want to max out adventure tome, do these first
- some of them give stat potions. Which are important if you want to max out mokokos or higher tier rapports (you need certain amount of kindness etc)
- some give unique rewards, like Crew for stronghold
- some of them, especially in later regions give quite a lot of gold
- there are also island tokens and giant hearts if you want to gather them faster

Def lookup a guide for rapport options and do those ones. Prioritize things like skill points, gold, and the big collectables like giant's hearts/O Stars, etc. Don't be afraid to use up the rapport chests and Prov stones for rapport items for the people your working on.
As stated, the Legendary and Relic ones don't matter who you give it too as they are set values for ALL npcs.

Thanks all, I'll look up the rewards and make some kind of list. This game is hard work
