Buildings and Deeds NPCs Let's Hang Out

Below is a list of NPCs that can move onto the island or visit. There are certain conditions to be met before they let the player know when they are ready to move in. The first NPC the player meets is Fletch when starting a new game.

The NPCs may occasionally be found watering crops or petting farm animals, if their shops are nearby. They will sit on benches and chairs.

Hearts play a significant role in building relationships with the charming residents of the island. Here’s the lowdown on hearts:

1. ❤️ NPC Hearts:

  • Each resident has a little 5-heart meter next to their name when the player chats with them.
  • As the player completes tasks and favours for them, the meter fills up. The more it fills, the better friends you become!
  • When the player is good friends with the residents, they might send mail, gifts, and be extra friendly.
  • To fill up the heart meter, keep doing tasks for the residents. Check the Bulletin Board and chat to them.
  • Once the player reaches two hearts, the "Let's hang out!" with them option is unlocked. Fun times ahead! 🎉

2. Leveling Up Hearts:

  • Hearts are rounded to the nearest quarter.
  • To level up hearts for each NPC, complete tasks for them daily until the hearts are maxed out.
  • Chatting and completing tasks gives the points needed to fill up a heart.
  • Note that a full quarter heart isn't always earned with each quest turned in.
  • Giving them their favourite food when they say they are hungry, or on their birthday will earn you even more points than tasks or chatting.

3. Heart Decay:

  • If a task isn't completed by the time the player goes to sleep then they can lose points.
  • Hearts will not decay below 3.75 hearts.

4. Resident Acceptance for island host:

  • Every NPC requires a different heart meter to accept to stay on the island.
  • Usually, this ranges from half a heart to two hearts.

Remember, kindness goes a long way in Dinkum! Keep those hearts up, and your island will flourish.❤️
