Desires

Desires, or wishes, are gifts that characters would like and will tell the player about wanting; fulfilling desires will award relationship points, usually more than the typical amount awarded when giving the same item to the same NPC. A desire can be fulfilled by gifting a character the item they want. Desires are randomly assigned to one or two NPCs per week. While the NPC desires something, they are marked with a red icon with a white star in the middle on the map.

Basics

 * The player is required to be at least at Associate level with most eligible characters in order for them to be assigned a desire. More possible desires are unlocked as the player's relationship level with a character increases.
 * Non-human characters will never be assigned a desire. Dana, Jack, Mint, and Yeye will never be assigned a desire despite having gift preferences.
 * Arlo, Emily, Ginger, Gust, Phyllis, Sam, Xu are more likely to get a desire than other eligible characters.
 * Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.
 * The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.
 * Altruistic social skill allows the player to earn up to four extra relationship points when fulfilling a desire.
