[Ismaeel]

Its lewis' birthday and i want to gift him something he would love. unfortunately being a newbie i have none of those things as per wiki. If someone have a spare item. Please consider giving it to me...

if you can't get your hand on an loved item, give him something he likes. Not as good as the loved items, but given that you get an 8x bonus, it's still better to do so than not gifting anything at all.

Also that's not how multiplayer works, you can't transfer items from one save to another. However you can use a cheat mod to give yourself items, if you really want to gift him something he loves.

He will be perfectly fine with a parsnip.

You don't need a mod (I play vanilla). Actually, ConcenedApe knows all about the item ID codes, how they're used and has deliberately left them alone even after the last update. So is it really cheating, or just taking advantage of the info freely available similar to Wiki?

iirc, dandelion (and daffodil too) is a neutral gift for Lewis. And in first week of spring year 1 it might be hard to get any of his likes if you somehow don't have parsnips. Though it could be possible to get an Earth Crystal or some gems (Amethyst or Topaz) in mines in 3 days (mines open on 5th and you have until 7th evening to get to Lewis to give him his gift).
At any rate, even if you don't have any loved or liked gifts - it's better to give neutral than nothing at all.

i always have tons of rabbits. everyone loves rabbits feet except for penny and you can give her a diamond. make's increasing friendship very easy because you can just carry around a bunch of rabbits feet. another good tip is to make a chest outside people's homes that is full of items they love. also, use the wiki.

OP specifically was talking about being a beginner farmer and spring.
Of course it's possible to make a lot of money if you are a pro, but in one week you still can't get a Deluxe coop, plus rabbits, plus make those rabbits shed those feet.
Besides, while it is a valid strat, some people prefer to give specific gifts, not jsut universal.

What you asked for doesn't seem all that dissimilar from cheating by spawning items though. Spawning an item into your world vs. spawning a person who gives you an item that you also "should not" have access to.

There are differences of course and the above is a very simplified view on the situation, but the factual end result for your own game seems to be the exact same.

I disagree. If trading with other players is a feature of a game. And a stranger willingly gives you a high level item. It isnt the same as just using a cheat code to spawn it.

You worry about it too much - take your lesson and keep 3-4 of every crop (or any item in game when ti comes about it) for future.

Plant Hot Peppers in summer and if you gift 2 to Lewis every week (even betetr silver or gold quality) you will raise his friendship to max pretty fast. (also pro tip: keep gold couliflower and use it for soup during summer Luau festival - it will increase friendship significantly with ALL)

Of course it is not totally optimal but there will be many opportunities and also another birthdays, year 2, year 3... should not feel urged and overthink missing this kind of stuff in first year - it change very little in grand scheme of things of game scope.

Yes, I said there are differences between the two, so obviously they're not "the same".

Don't really see a functional difference in the outcome on your world though. In both cases you don't have the item at first, you do something outside of producing it within the game to get the item, and now you have the item. It's essentially just spawned into your world in both cases.

From a certain point of view, just cheating and spawning the item in could even be seen as the better option. After all, it wouldn't require somebody else to spend their time spawning into your world to give you the item.

If you had offered something of similar value in return, then that would have been a somewhat different story, but with the request that you made, both essentially just boil down to the same outcome.

For the spring birthdays, I like to plant tulips - if you plant a tulip on day 1, you can harvest it & gift it to Lewis for his birthday on day 7. Flowers (other than poppy) are almost universally liked (George & Sebastian being the exceptions IIRC). And tulips are only 20g per seed, affordable enough early on.
