Fast Partner Affinity

Increases Gift and Adventure Affinity gain so they maximize from any action that gives affinity.

How affinity works:

Affinity can reach maximum of 100 points and its split between Adventure (40 points basically exploration), Gifts (30 points) and Character Episode (30 points).

While getting 30 Episode points is relatively easy (you just need to finish all their quest or main story for Lavinia and Lou) getting Gifts and especially exploration can be really tedious for gifts depending how they like gift you will receive 0. 1, 0. 25, 0. 5 or 1 point per gift and for exploration you have to kill strong enemies most of which give less than 0. 5 per strong enemy kill. For more in depth Affinity workings I recommend this guide from reddit

What my mod does is increases points gain from all actions that give points to Adventure and Gift affinity section to 40 and 30 respectively (their cap) - this means that picking up one item that enemy dropped will maximize your partners Adventure affinity.

IMPORTANT NOTE - if you only want items from partners gift shop you might prefer Synthlights Better Trading mod which has option to allow you access to all items from Receive Gift menu regardless of Affinity. They also have an option to increase trade point gained from giving Gifts which I would encourage to also download if you haven't alredy

Both mods have benefits and downsides, benefits on theirs is that you don't have to do any grinding in order to get access to complete shop however it also requires you to have theirs mod always active. Mines mod downside is that it requires some minimal grinding in order to maximize Affinity to gain access to all items in Receive Gift menu, however you can later delete my mod and you will still have access to all items in their shops on top of that if you haven't received achievement for maxing affinity this mod should give it to you fast (I already have this achievement so I can't test it. I would appreciate if someone can confirm if it works. Confirmed by yashiro222NEW01 that you do get achievement. THANKS). To ensure maximization of affinity - 1. complete all character quests, 2. choose them as a partner and kill enemies until they drop ANY item and pick up that item (item must be enemy drop not field item like ingredients or upgrade materials lying in the field) and lastly 3. give that partner gift as long as they take the gift it counts. Doing those 3 things should maximize partner affinity.
