How to Give Gifts

Give them through the Affinity Chart

Give Gift.png
Unlike the original Xenoblade Chronicles, gifts can be given from the Affinity Chart instead of the Inventory. Pressing Y inside of the Affinity Chart allower you to pick a giver, and a recipient.

Giving a Gift.jpg
After selecting who will give/receive the gift, you are given a list of collectables to choose from. If the receiver likes the gift (shown by a heart/hearts), the affinity level between the giver and receiver will rise. However, if the receiver dislikes the gift (shown by a black heart/hearts), the affinity level between them will be lowered. In Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, giving a gift to another character once will record how many hearts it causes the recipient to gain/lose, so you can keep it in mind next time.

Number of Hearts

The number of hearts shown corresponds to the value of the affinity point change. The value corresponding to the number of hearts is shown below.

Number of Hearts Affinity Value (Range)
-2 -16 ~ -20
-1 -2 ~ -14
1 2-14
2 16 ~ 20
3 22 ~ 30
4 100

When gifting, the more hearts, the better, so you should mainly give collectables to whatever character will gain the most affinity for it. To learn which gifts result in the most hearts for each character, see the guide below.

Gifting Basics

Affinity Raising.jpg
Gifting is a mechanic in Xenoblade Chronicles where you can present party characters with Collectables (the shiny blue items picked from the overworld) in your inventory as a means of raising affinity. Since you will pick up a ton of these items throughout your quest, and a higher affinity with party members leads to many benefits, presenting collectables to other party members is these best use of these items (granted they are not needed for a quest.)

There are eight types of collectables that can be collected: vegetable, fruit, flower, animal, bug, nature, parts, and strange. While each character tends to like or dislike a certain type of collectable in general, each collectable adds or subtracts a certain amount of affinity between the character giving / receiving the gift.

For example: Shulk dislikes most Vegetables, although gifting him an Energy Aubergine will award 10 affinity points.
