Friendship Increases At Festivals

The article section for this topic is unchanged since SV v1.4 and does not mention Leo, either to include or exclude him from the lists. So, I would assume he's like Kent, in that he gets no friendship boost from the Luau until we've met him in play, so we have to get to Ginger Island before we can. But is he considered a villager before he's moved to town, before the player has 6 hearts with him? When is he actually eligible for the Luau boost? Giles (talk) 23:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

It's same with Sandy until he moves to the mainland: you don't get any friendship if the villager is not in town/at Luau festival. I didn't look in the gamecode but am very sure that I have not gained any friendship when having 5 hearts with Leo (perfect Gouverneur reaction, Iridium goat cheese in soup). I'm not exactly sure if he gets + friendship after moving to the mainland, but I'm quite sure^.^ Botautal (talk) 21:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, it's a good start. First revision for writing. Giles (talk) 15:48, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

BTW, Leo's response to the Luau (or not) requires yet another definition of what "villager" means. Be careful in the writing, because it's another deviation from the Wiki-standard definition from the categories listed on the Villagers page. Giles (talk) 17:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Requesting clarification on effect of no-star gift on friendship

1)the wiki states that "Note that a no-star loved item always gives more points than an iridium-star liked item." 2)The equation is Event Multiplier × Preference × Quality Multiplier But the equation given seems to show that stared items have a quality Multiplier which gives an additional percentage points (50% in case of Iridium quality item.)

Problem: Point 2 seems to invalidate point 1. Either there is some explanation missing(which we need to add) or we need to remove the Point 1. Tedr (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I have used the Stardew Checkup utility to test this and this is the result.My test NPC is Lewis. He loves Hot pepper(starred item) and glazed yam(no-star item).

output of stardew utility | my note

Lewis: Friendly, 6♥ (1521 pts) -- need 979 more| starting point

Lewis: Friendly, 8♥ (2161 pts) -- need 339 more| result of gifted glazed yam a no-star item received 640 friendship point

Lewis: Friendly, 9♥ (2321 pts) -- need 179 more| result of gifted gold star hot pepper received 800 friendship point.

This seems to prove that statement 1 is false.("Note that a no-star loved item always gives more points than an iridium-star liked item." )

It took me a minute to understand your point, but I see that with Event Multipliers added into the equation, the first statement was false. I've corrected it now. margotbean (talk) 08:10, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
