Letter

From: Burgess

Player,

Hope all's well over at your workshop (I can see you from the water tower). I had a little extra money on hand, so I thought maybe I could get some water for you to aid you in your quest to build stuff for our town! I'm just doing my part! You just keep those machines running! Good luck!

Social interaction[]

Chat[]

See Dialogue subpage for all Burgess's dialogue.

Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with Burgess once a day can increase his relationship by 1 point; subsequent chatting, on the same day, only results in the same conversation without any relationship gain.

Burgess's dialogue may change every day and every season. Burgess may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels also change Burgess's dialogue.

Gift[]

This table contains gifting data extracted from the game files and may contain unavailable or unimplemented items. Any errors or changes should be reported on the article comments of this page. Thank you!

Burgess can be given one gift per day. Giving the same gift every day for several days may result in diminishing rewards.
Every giftable item in the game has a base point value when gifted. The Neutrals row of the table below only lists neutral items that give an increased reward compared to their base value.
The quality of items gifted may affect the relationship points gained, with higher quality items giving extra points.
Birthdays and festival days do not affect the relationship points gained. However, giving a gift on Burgess's birthday will give a unique dialogue.
