Doloc Town Gift Guide: Every Villager's Loves, Likes & Dislikes

Give the right item and friendship jumps; give the wrong one and you have wasted a day. This page maps 67 items against the 13 villagers the community has tested, cross-checked against the Huiji 1.0 roster of characters with affinity content, from both directions: look up an item to see who wants it, or look up a villager to see what to bring.

Where This Data Comes From

Every row below comes from the community Steam guide "Doloc Town - Character Gifts" by rockechic, read directly from its two data tables. Two limits to know before you spend a gift: the guide was built during Early Access (the author calls it "still a work in progress"), so it predates 1.0 (5 August 2026) by more than a year; and the 12 characters with no entries are not a collection gap — the Doloc Town Huiji Wiki 1.0 (checked 2026-08-17) confirms these characters have no gift/affinity system in the current version, so they cannot be gifted to yet (full list below). A 1.0 cross-check confirms the 13 characters with data here match the Huiji 1.0 roster of characters with affinity content, and Villain's row was upgraded with two confirmed 1.0 items (Beeswax, Aged Agave Wine). Community 1.0 data also indicates that items not on any preference list default to the "no strong feeling" tier (+10%) — but an item missing from this guide's tables is not proof it was tested, so treat unlisted items as neutral but unverified. Item and villager names are kept exactly as they appear in the English client.

How the Gift System Works in 1.0 (Community Data)

  • Gifting is limited: each villager can be given at most two gifts per week (Doloc Town Huiji Wiki 1.0, L2). Some guides say twice per day — that conflicts, so we follow the 1.0 wiki until we verify it in-game.

  • Birthdays are special: a birthday gift does not count toward the weekly limit; gifts that raise friendship are worth 3×, and gifts that would lower it have no effect that day.

  • Five tiers with values: adored +30%, liked +17.5%, no strong feeling +10%, disliked −7.5%, loathed −12.5% (L2, pending in-game verification). This guide's "dislikes" column merges the two negative tiers.

  • Unlisted items default to neutral: any item not on a character's preference list counts as "no strong feeling" (+10%) — this rule applies regardless of the character.

  • Check the address book in-game: after you give a gift that raises friendship, the game's Contacts page records the liked items — the reliable way to verify preferences yourself without outside data.

  • A generic gift table exists: the Huiji 1.0 friendship page also lists tier-based generic gifts with exceptions. We will add those item names once an official Chinese↔English table is available — never by guessing from the Chinese names.

Three Things Worth Knowing First

  • Fern Fossil is the one true catch-all: 12 of the 13 villagers with data like it and nobody dislikes it. Honey is second at 10/13, also with zero dislikes.

  • Never gift Bamboo Tube, Bottled Water, Copper Ingot. Each is disliked by 12 of 13 villagers and loved by none — they are the worst thing you can hand over.

  • Combat Chip is the trap: Mody loves it, but 8 other villagers dislike it. There is no safe blanket gift among the machine parts.

Look Up an Item — Who Wants It?

Sorted by how decisive the answer is: universal gifts first, then the items to avoid, then the ones villagers disagree about.

Look Up a Villager — What Should I Bring?

The 13 villagers with community-tested data. The other 12 characters (Gabryl, Gerald, Kel, Kuma, Licca, Lightman, Loveyer, Mira, Paiea, Pike, Shylock, Witch) have no gift/affinity system in the current 1.0 version — a design fact confirmed by the Huiji 1.0 wiki (2026-08-17), not a data gap. If an update opens affinity for them, this table will be extended first.

Quick Answers

What is the best all-purpose gift in Doloc Town?+
Fern Fossil. Of the 13 villagers with tested data, 12 like it and none dislike it. Honey is a close second at 10/13 with no dislikes.
What should I never give as a gift?+
Bamboo Tube, Bottled Water, Copper Ingot. Each is disliked by 12 of 13 villagers and loved by nobody.
Is there romance or marriage in Doloc Town?+
No. The developers confirmed Doloc Town has no romance or marriage system — gifts raise friendship only.
Why do some villagers have no gifts listed?+
The reason is a design fact, not a missing measurement: the Huiji 1.0 wiki (checked 2026-08-17) confirms these 12 characters have no gift/affinity system in the current version — they are trader, faction or story-oriented NPCs, so they cannot be gifted to yet. The Early-Access-era community guide also predates 1.0, and an unlisted item may be untested rather than neutral.
