Gifting?

[The Big Sneak]

I'm fairly new to this game and I got the little hint prompt about gifting but I can't for the life of me figure out how to gift something to someone. Am I missing something?

You should be able to hold it--select it from your inventory--then hover over the townsperson you want to gift. Sometimes I have to right click for them to take it. Should show a present icon when you hover your pointer over them.

Simply talk to the recipient while holding the gift above your head.

Select it on your quickbar, get really close to the person, your cursor should be a gift box and just left click.

You can't give tools, only things you hold over your head when selected.

hold the item you want to gift, put your arrow on the person you want to gift it to, when you see the present icon, click. and you (probably) would have given them a gift. you can only give them 1 gift a day and 2 gifts per week. and you will get a response from them, too. hope this helps. :)

Ah okay. Thanks.

How do hearts go up? I'm trying to figure out the social menu for villagers. Everytime I gift someone it puts a checkmark, and I can get up to two. Then there's a gift icon next to the checkboxes which has an unclear purpose...if there's any. Not sure if it's just telling me the checkboxes are gifts?

I've gifted twice in a week and their hearts didn't go up, even when I gave them something they really liked. The next week the checkboxes/gifts were cleared and no progress seems to be made. That bums me out.

The check boxes are just gifts. You can gift each villager 2 gifts a week (one a day). Every week those clear out so you can give 2 more gifts. Each gift adds or subtracts invisible friendship points depending on whether the villager likes the gift, loves it, hates it, etc. It's possible to give 2 gifts and not see hearts go up because you didn't increase the friendship to the next level. You still keep any progress though. You don't lose progress just because the check marks are cleared.

Talking to villages also increases friendship points. Friendships slowly decay over time.

Nice, thanks for that explaination.
