Converse With Officers Complete Training Tasks Fulfill Requests

Converse With Officers

On the World Map, you can engage in cutscenes by conversing with Officers who have Handshake Icons above their heads. These interactions feature friendly dialogues between the Wanderer and the Officer, and allow you to choose your own responses.

Each Officer offers three to five unique conversation scenes, some of which are available when meeting an Officer for the first time, while others require building a stronger Bond to unlock. You can track and revisit these conversations any time at Shui Jing Retreat by navigating to the Bond tab.

Complete Training Tasks

On the World Map, Officers marked with a blue Closed Scroll Icon offer Training tasks that can be completed passively alongside any Mission.

Successfully fulfilling these tasks slightly increases your Bond with the Officer and rewards you with additional Skill Points, making them a great way to strengthen your relationships while also upgrading the Wanderer's abilities.

Fulfill Requests

After conversing with Officers a few times, they may offer Requests, indicated by an Open Scroll Icon above their heads on the World Map.

These Requests often involve small-scale battles or one-on-one training sessions with the Officer. Completing these tasks strengthens your Bond with them and rewards you with Old Coins, a valuable resource for later use.

What Effect Do Bonds Have?

Strengthening Bonds Grant Rewards

Strengthening Bonds with your Officers offer valuable rewards like Old Coins and Skill Points, which can be traded for various items and upgrades.

Track Bonds at Shui Jing Retreat

You can monitor your Bonds at any time by visiting Shui Jing Retreat, unlocked after progressing through Chapter 2 of the main story.

Within the Bonds tab, you’ll find a list of all Officers you’ve connected with, along with their current Bond levels. Meanwhile, the Interactions tab pings Officers who wish to Converse, offer Training Tasks, or make Requests, along with the province they are located in.

Conversations Can Be Rewatched at the Inn

The Records tab at the Inn, also unlocked after progressing through Chapter 2 of the main story, provides a full list of all Officers you have and haven't encountered.

It also tracks the number of unique conversations available with each Officer at every Bond milestone and allows you to rewatch previously unlocked scenes.

Max Bond Rewards

Only the Spirit of Camaraderie Trophy

As of testing, there have been no unique rewards for hitting max Bonds with individual Officers. The only incentive for maximizing Bonds with all of them is to gain the Spirit of Camaraderie achievement if you are looking to collect all trophies for the game.
