๐Ÿ‘ฅ Heartopia NPC Guide

Every character, their gift preferences, and how friendship actually works

Friendship isn't just flavor text in Heartopia โ€” it gates shop discounts, exclusive dialogue, and special quest lines. The fastest way to build it is consistent daily gifting paired with the occasional NPC request, rather than trying to cram everything into one session. The table below breaks down exactly how many points each method is worth.
