How to quickly get 50 people with raised affinity?

[HNTR]

I heard buying drinks at the atvern would do best but how often do you have to do this? I also tried gifting a lot of people flowers but I'd need 150 in total because you can only raise affinity once per day and you'd need to gift everyone 3 times. Is there any other reliable and easy way to get this achievement?

I got it during my first playthrough from doing a lot of the side quests and completing every random culling mission that popped up nearby. I only actively gifted 2 NPCs and only bought a round when I entered a new bar for the first time.

The escort/culling missions were probably my big contributor though. Achievement popped after I saved some random guy from wolves.

just buy rounds at each bar, two to 3 times in between rests. easiest way.

i got it after popping the Eternal Wakestone to rez ~200 people after Dragonplague did Dragonplague things

Yeah, I had like 160 revived but starngely it didn't raise affinity.

I did these too all the time they appeared but it was usually always the same npcs and I have to get others raised as well.

Do you know how many of these exactly exist in the game? I could only count 2 in Vernworth, 2 in Bakbatthal and one in Checkpoint Rest Town. I might be missing one

thats all i believe.

[Dollmaker]

Theres 5 i think?

2 in Vernworth

2 in Batthal

And one in the Checkpoint Town.

I did like 2 rounds on each (one per day) and got the achievement.

Just keep playing and gift when you can. Flowers are good, but also getting magic medals from golems and giving those to the weaponsmiths and some other vendors works out well. Though if you don't fight every golem you find, you won't have the spares available. They do seem common and cheap yet liked though, so it's a great alternate gift for people that don't like flowers as much.

You don't have to stick to flowers or just drinks. I feel like buying drinks is more about passing time than getting affinity.

I heard you can just gift a WLC and instantly get max affinity so just run around and give 50 of those out to random peasants

Update, I did travel from every inn available and bought drinks at each for 3 nights. Then it seems to have done the trick. It took a few more tried because I previously did that on occasion. Seems like I had to do it like 30 times in total.

I'd rather keep them to buy gear in the endgame version as I'm not sure if the vendor will offer the same stuff in NG+ or if i have to reach unmoored world again.

I find golems annoying to fight melee (can't play anything ranged because I keep missing shots and constantly switching from controller to m+k is a hassle. The camera and movement is so clunky on m+k but ranged weapons with controller suck, especially at this framerate) so I don't encounter them too often. They usually have this annoying last damage spot under their feet and they'll enrage at the alst percent and nuke the party unless I buff them with the shield from the spear. A reason why warfarer is a very handy vocation as it can keep pawns from dying quickly, especially the healer mage.

be that local happy drunkard uncle, keep buying rounds.
if you want much more economical way then give 2-3 flower boquettes to each and every npc. and before you say it, no you dont need to farm for flowers , vendor in front of battahl commoner house sells it.

[Devitancotia]

not sure.
For me I just play through the whole and got it. Only targeted a few person.
But I did a lot of farming and go back to people a lot, so may be is that.

A good tip for the golem is once its frozen in place after breaking a token, pull the leg with the token out from under it. It works best if its stationary while kneeling, but doing that will knock it down and knock its head off while giving you free reign to break that token easy.

Yeah, I saw how good frost or lightning can be a few times but I switched the frost enchant from my mage to high palladium and the maister skill which is more desirable so he would get hired more often being a support/heal mage. But thankfully the thief I hired has frost blades.
