Item Colors= Rarity?

[No' Name]

I'm not too sure why I can't seem to find anything online except what gifts to give the other characters for this game.

It's obvious items have a different color to them in your inventory, which I'm assuming means the rarity of the item, and this seems proven even more so when I'm giving a gift to another person on the island, as giving them a "rarer" gift seems to raise the friendship level more-so than giving them something with a basic normal, or green colored background.

My question is; is the rarity of the gift better than the actual hearts (1-3) that you give another character? For example, say I give someone a 1 Heart, Purple rarity item VS, a 3 heart green item (not sure if that's even possible), is the purple rarity 1 heart item going to give more friendship points, than that of the 3 heart green colored item?

I've seen some of the gifts to give other characters, and the best ones being 3 heart gifts, but do the colors have anything to do with the 1, or 2 heart items you gift them?

Being how limited the gift giving is in this game, I don't really want to waste items on gift giving.

Pretty sure hearts is all that matters , the rarity might be how often you may see the item

I'm not so sure about that, I gave Keroppi a 2 Heart Green bug, then gave him a purple rarity 1 heart bug, and the purple rarity seemed to give WAY more friendship points than the basic green 2 heart bug.

I think its the tags. Wiki has all the info and a pretty good guide for this one especially.

Yeah I gathered the hearts were just the tags of the type of gift/npc's tags.

I'm just thinking the rarity does more than the hearts. There would be absolutely no reason to have rarities, if they didn't mean anything, or have any value.

Like I stated before, giving Keroppi one of those glow bugs from the Swamp (2 hearts), is only Green rarity, and barely filled up his friendship level at all. Meanwhile, giving him a purple bug I found (1 heart), boosted his friendship level significantly more, or whatever purple rarity thing I had that he could accept being only 1 heart, might not have been a bug, but I remember it giving a hell of a lot more friendship value than a 2 heart green rarity.

More hearths gives you more items from the NPC
