There are eleven romanceable characters in total, each with their unique quirks and personalities, which can determine how difficult they are to win over. If you’re wondering which characters are open to finding love, then we’ve got all the information you’ll need. Follow along below for everything you need to know about all romanceable characters in Moonstone Island, as well as a breakdown oftheir Gift preferences.
How Does Romance Work in Moonstone Island? Explained
In Moonstone Island, all residents are romanceable alongside the quirky, island-hoppingMagic Man character.
You will be able to speak to individuals using the Talk option for three attempts per in-game day. Doing so will raise your relationship with a character, indicated by the number of hearts next to their name (better known as the Friendship Meter). Once this meter is full, you will find you have a chance of success through the ‘Ask on Date’ option for a character, allowing you to take the first steps toward romancing them.
The quickest way to raise Friendship in Moonstone Island is by consistently engaging in daily conversations with your preferred individuals. The Talk option is further broken up into three different methods – Chat, Joke, or Flirt. Chat and Joke are the easiest for raising bonds, while Flirt is a little more risky. Depending on which character you wish to romance, they may have varying success rates for the Talk mechanic as some individuals, like Gaiana, are much more closed off in comparison to someone more bubbly and outgoing, such as Ferra.
The second way in which you can improve your Friendship with characters in Moonstone Island is by Gifting. Every character has unique preferences when it comes to Gifts, which can affect the Friendship gained from this action. Because of this, it’s important to know which Gifts to prioritize for each character, especially since you only get limited attempts when it comes to giving Gifts. Don’t worry, though; we’ve broken down every character’s Gift preferences below.
Cleo is the resident Historian of Moonstone Island and has a love for things that have a strong or intriguing history behind them. Cleo will love anything that most people will usually consider old, disgusting, or uninteresting. She also states that she’s had bad experiences with electricity, so you should avoid giving her any Gift items found on Electric Sky Islands. Lastly, you should also avoid Gifting Cleo flowers, as she has terrible allergies.
The best Gifts for Cleo include:
Ossono is the first friendly face you’ll meet upon your arrival at Moonstone Island. She’s the owner of the local Tavern where you can often find her working as a bartender alongside Quill. Ossono is very friendly and has a love for flowers and alcohol, both of which make excellent Gifts for her.
While she enjoys alcohol, Ossono seems to be very hit or miss when it comes to food Gifts, as there are multiple fruits and veggies that she’ll find less than appealing. Because of this, it’s best to avoid gifting her food items altogether.
The best Gifts for Ossono include:
Ferra is the town blacksmith, carrying a very energetic and optimistic personality with her wherever she goes. In line with her job, Ferra loves Gifts that are linked to her passion for forgery, such as Ingots and Ores. Ferra also has a love for fluffy objects, so items with these qualities make some of the best Gifts for her too.
However, as quirky as she is, Ferra has an odd dislike for objects that are circular shaped, including the very rareMoonstones. Because of this, you should avoid gifting her most circular items.
The best Gifts for Ferra include:
Paolo is the town carpenter and generally has a rather relaxed, friendly personality. When you can’t find him at his workshop, chances are you’ll catch him strumming his guitar in a quiet corner of the Tavern. A rather creative soul, Paolo enjoys hand-made Gifts, specifically crafted furniture and items. In contrast, Paolo hates many of the food items, seeming to take a specific dislike towards various Mushrooms and Berries, so be sure to save those items for someone else.
The best Gifts for Paolo include:
Zed is a scientist located on Moonstone Island who spends his time investigating the mysterious Spirits through detailed research assisted by your discoveries and tamed creatures. He’s generally a quiet and calm guy, but it’s clear he’s both fascinated by and passionate about his work.
Because of this, It’s best to Gift Zed resources used for healing and improving Spirit stats. You’ll also want to avoid both crafty items such as Stones or Materials and Mushrooms due to a nasty allergy. Nobody wants a Gift that they’re allergic to, so definitely avoid passing these along to him.
The best Gifts for Zed include:
Rowan is responsible for running Moonstone Island’s General Goods Store and is known for their love of crafted or discovered spooky items so that they can face the various fears they struggle with. However, Rowan will dislike items that could be considered dangerous, so you’ll need to be very careful in the Gift choices you select.
Rowan also states that they are fairly incapable when it comes to crafting objects, so materials and Ingots will also be a wasted Gift.
The best Gifts for Rowan include:
Quill is a friendly and creative individual who you’ll frequently find working alongside Ossono in the Tavern. He’s a painter with a love for art and has a love for Gifts that are warm, such as firey plants, spicy food, or heated objects. In contrast to this, he isn’t particularly fond of Gifts that are cold, such as cold plants, Ingots, and objects with a cold temperature.
Additionally, Quill will also react negatively to receiving Moonstone Ingots or Sheets as a gift, as he deems them far too valuable for you to Gift to him.
The best Gifts for Quill include:
Tobin is the cheery and warm-spirited local fisherman of Moonstone Island, often found selling Fishing Rods and various Fishing Hooks at the small shack next to the beach. However, Tobin is one of the residents who has more specific likes and dislikes when it comes to Gifts. As a Fisherman, Tobin loves receiving them as Gifts, and will generally respond well to any species that you give to him, especially if they’re rare
However, there is one Fish that Tobin does not like receiving – the Zenfish. He states that he always tries not to catch them if he can help it and that it breaks his heart to see them out of the water, so perhaps these fish are endangered, or simply so calm and peaceful that he leaves them be. In addition to Zenfish, Tobin seems to have a distaste towards spooky Plants, stating that he’ll re-gift these items to Gaiana, as she will appreciate them more.
The best Gifts for Tobin include:
Ofelia is a Botanist and resident of Moonstone Island Island who works closely alongside Gaiana, sharing their love and knowledge for plants with the other citizens. Ofelia has a sweet and caring personality, and has a big hobby for crafts, meaning specific materials that she can use in her creative endeavors make the perfect present. However, she has a disinterest and dislike for items involving Spirits, so avoid giving these to her as a Gift.
The best Gifts for Ofelia include:
Gaiana is by far the most introverted and guarded resident of Moonstone Island, working as a Herbalist at Ofelia’s side. However, underneath Gaiana’s harsh exterior, there is someone with a heart of gold and a love for plants and flowers. Gaiana has a few favorite plant variants, but will generally be appreciative of any and every plant or flower that you choose to Gift her. On the other hand, she has a strong dislike of Fish, so you should save your catch of the day for Tobin instead!
The best Gifts for Gaiana include:
Magic Man, otherwise known as Waldo, is a friendly yet forgetful guy who plays the role of protector during your adventures. However, it may come as a surprise that Magic Man is also a romanceable option! This magical guy has a love for items that remind him of his original home on Moonstone Island, even though they make him a little sad and nostalgic. In contrast, Magic Man hates items that are considered Junk, so those are much better saved as Gifts for Cleo.
The best Gifts for Magic Man include:
