*The Wizard is the only character whose birthday occurs on a festival day.
The Wizard does not leave the Wizard's Tower (except for certain Festival days), and can be found there when the tower is accessible (6am to 11pm). After the player has unlocked the Witch's Hut, he can be found in his tower after 11pm by using the warp spot in the Witch's Hut. The Wizard never visits the Beach Resort on Ginger Island.
You can give the Wizard up to two gifts per week (plus one on
his
birthday), which will raise or lower
his
friendship with you. Gifts on
his
birthday ( 17 Winter) will have 8× effect and show a unique dialogue. For loved or liked gifts, the Wizard will say
“
“You remembered my birthday? I'm impressed. Thanks.”
“
“Oh, is it my birthday today? I guess it is. Thanks. This is nice.”
For neutral gifts, the Wizard will say
“
“For my birthday? Thanks.”
For disliked or hated gifts, the Wizard will say
“
“It's my birthday and you give me this? Is this some kind of joke?”
Love
“
“Ahh, this is imbued with potent arcane energies. It's very useful for my studies. Thank you!”
Stardrop Tea
“
“ Ah, what do we have here? A rare and potent elixir, it seems. Yes, this will make a fine addition to my reagent chest.”
At any friendship level greater than zero friendship points, you may receive a gift in the mail from the Wizard. The chance of receiving a gift in the mail increases as your friendship with the Wizard increases.
I have enclosed in this package an item of arcane significance. Use it wisely.
-M. Rasmodius, Wizard
