Best Universal Gift

[Wai]

Has anyone worked out which basic produce (fruit, veg, mushroom etc.) Can be given safely to every character while being liked or loved by more people than any other?

In other words, which single item would it be best to stack in your inventory to give every time you greet a character who you have not already gifted that week?

Rabbit's Foot - loved by everyone expect Penny (hate), if i rember correctly, you just need lots of rabbits

Prismatic Shard is the one. Loved by everyone but Haley (she hates it)

also this, there no way to produce it tho, you ahve to "hunt" for it by either killing (mummies ?only? or get them tru omni geodes)

Prismatic Shards and Rabbit's Foot are similar for it. Both really hard to get tho, but still I'd say the foot is easier if you have many rabbits.

Ty, this is great, but, the earliest that any of them could be used in significant quantities is tree fruit in Autumn (Fall). It is in the first couple of seasons that a good general gift would be really usefull; before a new player has really had time to work out the specifics of each character.

There's a Wiki that describe what each character like. You can use it.

There aren't any universal "love" gifts that you can get a hefty quantity of that early in the game. However, pretty much everybody likes any vegetable you grow (except wheat and hops), flowers (except poppies), minerals (except quartz), and syrup.

I got a shard from one of those serpent things, so it might be every monster in the whatever it’s called that drops them

Sadly, this does not answer the question. It gives an excellent guide for each individual, but, not the single best universal gift. I had already spent ages scanning it, but, no one item stands out as obvious. I no longer have a spreadsheet on my computer and I have to one hand type these days anyway, so have not tried to work it out. I thought that there might be another player out there who had wondered the same thing and actually tackled the proble.

Lol, I am showing my OCD here.

Prismatic Shard/Rabbits foot are the way to do it. (penny hates rabbits foot and haley hates prismatic shard) Pretty much everyone loves them.

But, this does not answer the original question. Without a cheat, there is no way to obtain nearly endless supplies of prismatic shards or rabbits foot.

The answer will be something much more prosaic, like a turnip or a pepper! Something anyone can obtain a lot of early in the game to give out on greet from as near to the start of the game as possible. It is also an item which nobody hates ot dislikes. Knowing this would get a minium of a neutral boost (+20) to each villager friendship rating twice a week. Being either liked or loved would be a bonus, and one or two such items must be liked or loved a bit more often than any other. Someone must know the answer!

I answered your question.

Thank you, Wilco, your reply is much appreciated, but, no, you did not.

The question was not "Love" gifts.

Coffee gets very close to the answer, and is the best so far, but, it still is not available in the spring or summer of year one.

It is just basic friendship building and how to get an early boost with everyone without getting a negative from anyone. I have not tried every vegetable, but so far, every one I have tried has had a negative response from at least one adult. Obviously, the kids will be different, there are only two so their preferences are easy to remember.

Sashimi or however you spell it, the dish made from just a fish, is liked by almost everyone. That soldier that shows up in year 2 hates it, but I haven't found anyone else that hates it. Not loved, but liked.

Not really. The Prismatic Shard is quite easy, it just takes lots of money and you will get a huge amount of iridium as well. Just do the skull cave and stairs thing. You will get like at least 5 Prismatic Shards that way. If you have a coop filled with nothing but rabbits you will get quite a lot of Rabbit's Foots after a while when the rabbits are maxed.
