Start with the pair you want to raise
Give a candidate a first gift to open the meal option, then invite the relevant characters at an inn. RPG Site reports that meals can be repeated within a week and can raise support between characters other than the active lord. Support guide ↗
For recruitment, check the candidate’s relationship with the lord whose route you are playing. Enter the displayed support and Renown values in the recruitment blocker finder. A meal can advance that relationship without completing the candidate’s separate item, gold, quest or story condition. Recruitment source ↗
Keep the different results separate
| Record | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Support level | The relationship value used by a recruitment requirement. |
| Support conversation | A scene with its own availability and possible story gate. |
| Meal | An activity used to raise relationships; it is not a promise of a particular rank increase. |
| Recruitment | Whether every required condition is met and the ally has joined this route. |
Nintendo confirms that inns host character conversations. The source bundle does not establish a complete retail conversation-pair matrix or combat bonus table. The support-pair view therefore labels its current coverage instead of inventing connections. Nintendo Direct ↗
What follows you into another route
RPG Site reports support as a global save value, including when a chapter is restarted. That does not mean the same characters are present in every chapter, or that every conversation is immediately available. See Carryover & recovery before planning a replay around meals.
