Rune Factory 5 Gift Guide – All Birthdays and Best Gifts

Rune Factory 5 has a huge cast of characters that players can befriend in the game, and the best way to raise your friendship level with a character is by gifting them items. It’s a great sentiment as becoming closer allows players to learn more of a character’s story and trigger dating events which can lead to marriage later for certain characters.

There are many ways to earn extra friendship points. The first is by gifting a handmade gift over a store-bought one. Another way is by gifting the best gifts on their birthday. Overall though, you’ll want to keep it fresh as gifting the same item consistently will reward you with fewer friendship points. Keep in mind the game limits you to gifting one item per day.

Not all gifts are created equal in Rune Factory 5 though, characters have a list of gifts they like or love but also others they dislike or outright hate which when gifted decreases your friendship level. In order to skip the trial and error process of the game, check out our guide which lists each character’s birthday and preferred gifts.
