Starsand Island – Gift Guide

Want to increase your relationship with the characters without wasting resources or time by trying everything? Well, don’t worry! I did it for you. Here is a compiled list of every NPC’s gift preference in Starsand Island. Keep in mind that this is only the Early Access version, and it can change in time, which I will update if it does.

I’ve arranged the list based on gender so it’s easier to find each character, as well as non-romanceable characters being separate. Like I mentioned before, this is still early access so I assume some of them will be romanceable in the future, such as Ginger or Fang maybe. My suggesion is giving most characters Moonlit Forest Gatherables, such as Moonflower, as most of them love it or like it.

Bachelors

Graminova

Graminova is the resident farmer boy. Which means he really loves crops. I’ve tried a few, as well as seeds, but giving him veggies and the like are probably the best bet in his case.

• Favorite❤️: Moonflower, Mirthshroom, Moondew Shroom, Green Grape, Soybean Seeds, Moonflower Seed, Mirage Sunflower Seed, Cucumber, Wheat, Garlic, Pumpkin, Water Spinach, Garlic, Plainberry, Sugar Painting (Graminova), Pasture Grass Seeds, Green Rose, Yellow/Red Sleep Lily, Yellow/Blue Moonrise, Pink Orchid
• Like👍: Blue Hydrangea, Celeste Berry, Coconut, Chilled Twilight Salad, Ripening Fertilizer I
• Dislike👎: Fenta, Wafer Biscuits, Crispy Rice, Softwood, Bamboo Leaf, Crispy Rice
• Hate💔: Glazed Cicada, Veggie Bait, Feather

Zephyria

And here we have resident adventurer boy. From what I tried, he really liked the collectibles you can get from the Moonlit Forest the most.

• Favorite❤️: Mirthshroom, Moondew Shroom, Moonflower, Brown/Yellow/Blue Sleep Lily, Twilight Succulent, Midnight Herb
• Like👍: Celeste Berry, Glaced Cicada, Luminfrog Fragment, Pink Hydrangea, Celeb Moth, B.C Milk, Tin, Runebird fragment, Luminbird Fragment, Pasture Grass, Emerald Hornscarab, Sunflower Seeds, Ore
• Dislike👎: Softwood Plank, Tiger Puffer
• Hate💔: Meat Bait

Delphin

Unlike the other two, I felt like Delphin wasn’t as obvious. He didn’t like the fish I gave him (cries). He liked flowers though, so that would be the best item to focus on.

• Favorite❤️: Blue/Light Blue/Pink Hydrangea, Moonflower, Sugar Painting (Delphin), Green Rose, Yellow/Blue Moonrise, Pink Orchid
• Like👍: Mirthshroom, Moondew Shroom, Caco Laco, Celeste Berry, Green Grape, Red-Hot Medley, Wishful Heart Cookies, Braised Crab Pot, Vinegar, Twilight Succulent, Pumpkin

• Hate💔: Pickled Cabbage, Glowing Shell, Glaced Cicada, Fiddler Crab, Moonshade Butterfly, Red Beaded Starfish

Aurelis

I still haven’t managed to figure out Aurelius’ favourite. I’m assuming it’s going to be a cooked dish, but I wanted to try more simple items first for convenience. I’ll update this once I find out more.

• Favorite❤️: Aurorite Ore
• Like👍: Blue Hydrangea, Coconut, Moonflower, Moondew Shroom, Green Sunfish, Boxfish, Giant Egg, Celeste Berry, Mushroom Soup, Rabbit Poop, Garlic, Feather, Grilled Chicken Wings, Chilled Twilight, Salad, Spirit Fruit, Watermelon, Tomato, Plainberry
• Dislike👎: Velvet, Tin, Softwood, Bamboo Leaf
• Hate💔: Caco Laco, Glazed Cicada, Soy Sauce

Sylvain

In the case of Sylvain, I caught a lucky break as the first gift I gave him was a Hydrangea and he loved it. Flowers, I believe, work best for him so stick to that if you want to increase his relationship.

• Favorite❤️: Blue/Light Blue Hydrangea, Moonflower, Yellow/Brown Sleep Lily, Twilight Succulent, Green Rose, Yellow/Blue Moonrise, Pink Orchid
• Like👍: Moondew Shroom, Water Spinach, Chilled Twilight Salad
• Dislike👎: Copper

Youfang

Youfang was also a lucky guess. He likes Bamboo stuff. Which makes sense, I guess, for someone living in a bamboo forest.

• Favorite❤️: Bamboo Leaf, Bamboo, Fresh Bamboo Shoot, Bamboo Shoot
• Like👍: Blue Hydrangea, Celeste Berry, Moonflower, Moondew Shroom, Fenta, Glazed Cicada, Wheat, Garlic, Light Blue Hydrangea, Dragon Fruit, Chilled Twilight Salad

Neona

I actually got the idea to give her Tin from one of the quests where she needed some Iron Sheets. It’s worth trying out items related to quests, but they won’t always work. Keep in mind if characters also mention someone else when they send in a request.

The same as most of the other girls, no fish or bugs. I also tried giving her one of the craftable cat pillows, but she didn’t seem to have much reaction to it so, yeah.

Sugar Painting

There is a gift that at the moment I’ve only tried on a few characters, but there is stall in the middle of town where there is Tanghua Master. If you take a picture of a character you want to gift, you can give it to the Tanghua Master, and you can get a sugar painting of that character for 100g.
