A thoughtful gift is always welcome, but players should remember that Jodi, like all the others in Stardew Valley, has her preferences. Another thing to bear in mind is that her birthday falls in the fall, so any gifts given on that day will yield eight times the amount of friendship points usua.
Best Gifts Ever
Here is a list of the most perfect gifts for Jodi. Each of these will raise the player's friendship with her by 80 points:
- Delicious Homemade Recipes: Chocolate Cake, Crispy Bass, Eggplant Parmesan, Fried Eel, Pancakes, Rhubarb Pie, Vegetable Medley, Diamond
- Love on a Global Scale: Prismatic Shard, Stardrop Tea, Golden Pumpkin, Pearl, Magic Rock Candy, Rabbit's Foot
Liked gifts
While these do give 45 points, they don't grant nearly as much friendship as the ones listed above. Nevertheless, these are top picks for earning Jodi's approval:
- Fruits, excluding Spiceberry
- Crafted items, excluding oil, void mayonnaise eggs, void egg flowers, poppy vegetables, hops, tea leaves, wheat, garlic, and such
Unloved and Hated Gifts
If the player gives these gifts to Jodi, her friendship with the player will decline. There is a more substantial decline in case of Hated presents, but the player should not give her these gifts in any case since any reduction in friendship is bad news:
- Raw Sushi
- Geodes are crystals along with minerals used for creating geodes
- Anything from Sprinklers to Floors to Tackle is a crafted object.
- A majority of wild mushrooms and other edibles
- Trash
- Materials for crafting, include coal, sap, and ores
- Berry Spice
Theatre for Film Viewing
Once the theater is available, players can invite Jodi to the movies by giving her a ticket. Whatever the player choose, Jodi will be happy with because she loves all the movies including The Zuzu City Express. She has a weakness for sweets, especially the Stardrop Sorbet and Chocolate Popcorn from the concession stand. Her love for the following items are :
- Cold Cream Sandwich, Cappuccino Mousse Cake, and French Fries
- Delish Jasmine Tea Nachos
- Personalized Pizza
- Popcorn Burger with Salmon
- Preserved Peanuts
- Star Cookies
Assist Wanted Quests
Like any other villager, Jodi has the ability to use the bulletin board outside Pierre's store to request anything she desires. Completing her quest will reward players with 150 friendship points and a few pieces of gold.
An Appeal to Jodi
The quest for cauliflower will be availed to the players on the 19th of March from Jodi. However, they can complete this quest whenever time permits them. She will reward them upon bringing her the vegetable required by her with 350g and increases the friend's heart with the farmer by one heart.
Friendship Rewards and Activities
Once the player has reached a certain degree of friendship with Jodi, she will send them some of her favorite dishes, much like many of the people in Pelican Town do:
Jodi can send the player, at any level of friendship, a variety of fertilizers in the mail. These are useful to have around when first starting the game and resources, such as money and material, are limited.
If this friendship has reached four hearts, Jodi will invite the player to dinner at her house. Players must meet with her in the evening by entering her residence if they have a largemouth fish. While there is no real reward for this achievement, the emotional cutscene shared between the farmer and the family of Jodi.
