Moonstone Island offers romances between you and an NPC, like many farming and life sims. There are many options to choose from for a possible partner, and certain ways to woo them. Although it’s not a central aspect of Moonstone Island, it’s still something you should definitely try out when you’re not taming Spirits or tending to your farm. In this Moonstone Island romance guide, we’ll cover how to date the NPCs and all their favorite gifts.
Moonstone Island romance guide
In total, there are 11 romance options to choose from. 10 of them live in the town, while the last one is the Magic Man you stumble upon while exploring islands. Every day, you have the chance to speak with an NPC three times. You can Chat, Joke, or Flirt. Each choice has a success percentage, which can change as you start to become closer with them and upgrade your skill tree.
- Chat: 70%
- Joke: 50%
- Flirt: 10%
While flirting seems to be at such a low success rate, you need to raise that NPC’s heart levels to make it a higher number. There are also upgrades in the skill tree to have better success rates. I recommend giving gifts to NPCs every day, while also chatting and joking. Only start to flirt if your chances are much higher than 10%. Also, if you have a Fluffox Spirit following you around, it can give you a 10% boost to social interactions!

How to go on a date in Moonstone Island
Asking someone out on a date is easy, but getting rejected can happen often. At any point, you can ask an NPC to go on a date. You’ll then get three options for locations: Beach, Tavern, or Hot Spring. The Beach is the easiest to get a date, the Tavern is a 50/50 chance, and the Hot Spring is pretty difficult to get successfully. This changes as you get closer with the NPC.
Once your favorite NPC finally says yes to your date, and you get to the date, you have the option to say three things. The response from the NPC can go from very positive to very negative. Choose wisely!
How to start a romantic relationship in Moonstone Island
Although you can go on dates, you’re not technically courting them just yet. What you need to do first is craft a Moonstone Bracelet at your Moonstone Enchanter. For only only Iron Ingot and three Moonstones, you can craft this bracelet. Once you gift it to an NPC, this jumpstarts your official relationship with them! Now, you can finally go on dates with them at their house, unlocking a fourth date option.
Hopefully this Moonstone Island romance guide was helpful in you figuring out how to date NPCs and give them their favorite gifts! Relationships take time, don’t worry too much if your heart levels aren’t as high as you’d like them to be.
