A relationship system in Dragon Nest, the Friendship system can be used to obtain discounts from certain NPCs. Hitting the [Y] Key in game will open up the Friendship interface, where you will see the NPCs you can befriend. Items used to befriend NPCs can be found in dungeons and can also be given by the Silver and Gold Dimensional Rabbits from Abyss Mode dungeons. See Category: Gifts for these items.
Befriending NPCs[ | ]
To be able to befriend an NPC, you must first meet certain criteria, listed in the Friendship interface. For example, you may have to finish a quest, have an achievement, or reach a certain level.
In order to increase Fondness points with an NPC, you may either give them gifts or talk to them, as they will occasionally give you a dialogue with choices that you may select. Be warned, however, as if you chose the wrong option, the NPC may gain aversion points, while if you choose a good option, the NPC will gain fondness.
In the case of some NPCs, giving gifts to them may also increase the Fondness of another NPC (ex. Giving Kevin a gift increases Hubert's fondness as well) or increase the Aversion of an NPC (ex. Giving Bailey a gift increases May's aversion).
When an NPC reaches 30.00 Fondness with you, they will give you an item. If this item is in your inventory, you will gain more Fondness when gifting that NPC1.
When an NPC reaches 60.00 Fondness with you, they will give you a Memory Regenerator. Right-clicking this will allow you to hear their voice.
1 It is unconfirmed how much of an increase there is when gifting the NPC and if the bonus is limited to that npc.
Aversion[ | ]
Aversion points may be gained in one of two ways:
- Gifting one NPC may increase aversion with another NPC (ex. Gifting Kevin or Hubert increases the Invisible Thief's aversion).
- Choosing an option that adds aversion during the NPC's Friendship dialogues (ex. In Chandler's "Do you like it here in Carderock Pass?" dialogue, selecting "I prefer civilization, thank you very much." will increase his aversion by 2.00).
When an NPC's aversion hits 100, both their aversion and fondness will reset to 0.
Return Gifts[ | ]
Occasionally when gifting an NPC, you may receive mail from them. This mail will include a dialogue from the NPC and some items. Possible items that can be received include:
- Crude Sapphire x3
- Crude Topaz x3
- Crude Onyx x3
- Crude Diamond x3
- Crude Ruby x3
- Average Artyte Fragment
