Rapport & Affection
The pink heart bar next to a patron's name shows your rapport with them. Build rapport by:
- Serving them the correct order (big boost!)
- Having pleasant conversations that match their mood
- Successfully haggling when they're agreeable
⚠️ Rapport decreases if you serve wrong items or offend them in conversation.
Lodging & Regulars
When a patron's rapport bar fills completely, they'll ask to become a Regular!
- Regulars are saved to your Guest Book
- They'll return randomly on future visits
- Returning regulars greet you warmly and are easier to please
- Build a loyal customer base for consistent income!
Pro Tips
- Haggle works better when patrons like you (high rapport)
- VIP guests appear at higher tavern ranks and pay 3x more
- Check the Ledger to buy supplies and unlock recipes
- Watch Daily Events for price modifiers
- You can remove regulars from the Guest Book if needed
