Show progression-sensitive recipients
  • Dwarf — Positive friendship gains require understanding Dwarvish. The taste itself is unchanged; access to the Dwarf’s area is separate.
  • Kent — Arrives in year 2; not present in year 1.
  • Krobus
  • Leo — Requires the host’s island introduction progress. Home changes after the host’s move-to-the-valley event; this is not a fixed daily schedule.
  • Sandy — Ordinary friendship/gifting requires the Oasis introduction event to have been seen by at least one player. Reaching the Desert also depends on your travel options.

Ordinary tastes describe base items. Quality, birthdays and other friendship modifiers are separate; special items use their own handlers. Gift guide →
