Crafting Materials

Crafting materials are great for your respective home jobs. Giving ores such as Bronze and Iron to your blacksmith family will make them really happy while sending yarns to Tailors will yield the same effect.

Related Products

The same idea works for the other family jobs. Sending items related to their jobs will make their affinity with you greatly rise. Fish for Fishermen, Seeds for farmers, etc. The merchant will be happy with anything,

Seeds Are Always Great

Sending seeds to your family will allow them to plant those seeds and give you its product after a year has passed. When in doubt, send a seed. The wheat seed works differently as this seed can only be used by the farmer job class.

Always Be Polite

Polite
This should be an obvious thing but is sometimes neglected. Always reply in a positive way when a letter is sent to you. This does not give as high a benefit as sending in an item they want but it will still help increase your relationship with your family.

Myrrh

This means that you won't get a letter by completing a dungeon that hasn't replenished it's Myrrh yet and you especially don't get Myrrh by killing a boss.
