Friendship

Raise NPC friendship fast — the relationship tiers, which gifts each companion loves, exclusive journals and the full befriendable roster.

39 companions

Tip

The short version

39 companion NPCs live across the world, and each one has a friendship track that climbs from level 1 to 100 across 10 named tiers. The fastest way up is gifting: every NPC loves one gift category (×1.25), and the 18 Special NPCs each have a unique Journal gift (×2) that grants 2,400 friendship. Match the gift to the NPC, spend the Journals on the right person, and level Travel buffs along the way. See the companions database for the full roster.

Mechanics

How friendship works

Friendship is a per-NPC level track. You raise it by talking, completing their tasks and — mostly — by giving gifts. It runs from level 1 to 100 (218,059 total friendship at the cap), split into 10 named relationship tiers.

Lv 1–10A New Face
Lv 11–20Someone Familiar
Lv 21–30Building Trust
Lv 31–40Trusted Friend
Lv 41–50Close Companion
Lv 51–60Steadfast Ally
Lv 61–70Kindred Spirit
Lv 71–80Deep Connection
Lv 81–90Unique Bond
Lv 91–100Treasured Above All

Gifting is the main driver.
Each NPC reacts to a preferred gift category with a ×1.25 bonus, and their personal Journal gives a ×2 bonus — pick gifts by what the NPC likes, not by rarity alone.
Tiers gate rewards & dialogue.
Crossing into a new tier (A New Face → Treasured Above All) unlocks new talks, friendship rewards and sub-ranks (Bronze/Silver) at the top of the curve.
Companions assist your Travel.
Befriended NPCs feed the Adventure / Travel system — its own Bond Odyssey mode — where higher friendship means stronger node bonuses and extra reward rolls.

Gifting

Gifts NPCs love

Universal gifts come in four categories — Flowers, Valuables, Commodities, Books — each with three rarities. The friendship granted scales with rarity: Legendary +2,400, Epic +800, Rare +160. Give an NPC a gift from their preferred category for the ×1.25 bonus on top. Every gift below is a real item — browse them in the items database.

Note

Sources & caveats

Every value here is verified against the game's own data: friendship tiers and the level curve (max level 100), gift values and the exclusive-NPC mapping, and the full roster with each NPC's gift preferences and portraits — all accurate to the live game. The gift-preference multipliers (×1.25 / ×2) match each NPC's in-game preferences. A handful of crossover companions do not yet have a finalized English name, so they are omitted here rather than shown with an untranslated or Chinese label.
