Giving gifts and completing the NPC Quests are the easiest ways to increase Affinity with NPCs in Dragon’s Dogma 2. A higher affinity can help you develop romantic relationships with certain NPCs and lead to several benefits, like receiving discounts on items purchased from merchants.
Although giving gifts can definitely make the characters like you more, figuring out what to get them can often be challenging. Each NPC has a unique taste, so if you’re trying to win over a special someone, you’ll need to gift them something they really like. Luckily, this guide can help you pick out the perfect gift for all NPCs in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

How to Give a Gift in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Before you can give a gift to your favorite NPC in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you will need to interact with them and start a conversation.
During the conversation, look for a "Give Gift" prompt in the bottom right corner of the screen. Clicking on this option will open up the Inventory menu, where you can select any item you want to give as a gift.
Make sure you are not giving away something valuable, like Ferrystones or Wakestones , as you will not be able to get an item back once you have gifted it to an NPC.
How to Choose the Right Gift For NPCs
Gifting an NPC something they like improves your relationship with them, while giving something they dislike could cost you Affinity points. If you wish to romance a certain NPC, such as Wilhelmina, getting insights into what they like can help you with your gift-giving strategies.
Thankfully, Dragon’s Dogma 2 features a logbook where you can find the kind of gifts an NPC likes. To access this logbook, open the Pause menu and navigate to the History tab and click on the NPC Logbook. Here, you can select any NPC and see which gift items they prefer under “Likes”. These gift preferences generally fall into categories such as adorable, beautiful, fancy, interesting, expensive, and rare.
If an NPC likes the gift you’ve given them, they will start blushing and your relationship will grow. Keep track of what items they like and gift them a couple of those to safely farm Affinity with an NPC.
