Main Pawn Affinity

[zackdollars]

I've never been able to reach max affinity (blushing) with my main pawn. I don't want to cheat, I just would like to know how it works. I am wearing Eternal Bond and I have the Allure Augment. I did use her with my other two pawns for the Sphinx riddle "Madness". My main pawn seemed disappointed that I included the others. In a past play, I only used my main for the Madness riddle, but still never got her to blush.

would recommend the see affinity mod, but the process to up your pawn affinity is incredibly slow, basically talk and highfive your pawn every like 10 minutes, its on a timer, and just fight alot

main pawn affinity go up very fast if you fight mobs a lot especially if you are often in the front line. ( straightforward inclination pawn a bit harder using this method because they are harder to be impressed by you ) Every high five u do with them is a +5 to your affinity with the pawns. Every small talk you do with them with a cooldown of 10 minutes gametime is a +2 to their affinity. Do these often and as long as you seldom brine them and do not forgot to revive them when they are down u should have no problem max them in your game. I max mine 3 times per each new game. Also bring them to the hot spring whenever u are near there. Hot spring also increase a lot. If u want more, u can also give her a new hair cut. Each new haircut will give a huge boost to your affinity. I don't do that because I no need and she usually max for me long before I go into unmoored world as long as I don't brine her.

I used the affinity mod and researched a lot to figure this out myself and now I have a general Idea of how it works. I managed to max my pawn's affinity during my 6th cycle. This is basically how it works.

Your main pawn has the largest affinity bar that maxes out at 1000 points whereas every other NPC maxes out at 299 points which is why it takes so long. You pawn will fall in love with you and start blushing at 620 points though. Each interaction has a 10 minute cooldown.

Dos:
- Talk to your pawn for +2 points. Doesn't matter what you say just starting the conversation gives you +2.
- High five your pawn after a battle for +5 points.
- Take your pawn to the hot springs for +10 points.
- Choose your pawn for the sphinx quest (Riddle of Madness) for +20 points.
- Take your pawn to the salon and change their hair style for +50 points. You can just change the sheen by one point if you don't want to change the whole style. As long as the money gets spent. Has to be a hair change and nothing else.

Don'ts:
- Let your pawn die and have to be respawned at a riftstone. This will result in -25 points.

Thanks everyone! I finally saw her blush once and she said that we had a special bond. I think I crossed the 620 point threshold.

By the way, what about NG+? Is there no way to maximize affinity again? Mine stopped at 265 and nothing I do seems to work. <\3

Cheating will make you lose affinity pretty fast
