SoS: FoMT Gray Gifts Guide (Friendship + Marriage)

by Kal S.

Gray is Saibara’s grandson and apprentice. He works at the Forge with his grandpa supervising his training.

His birthday is on Winter 6th. If you set your farmer’s birthday on the same day, his birthday will be on Winter 23rd instead.

Gray likes a lot of food and ore/minerals, so it’s good to be friends with him if you spend a lot of time in the mines. And our guide below offers a blueprint to easily win his friendship.

Schedule

You can find Gray every day at Saibara’s forge, except for Thursdays when the shop is closed. Other than that, he has a pretty consistent schedule regardless of the weather or season.

Gray works next to the anvil at the Forge.

Dayr	Location
Monday	Inn (2nd floor), Forge, Rose Plaza
Thursday	Inn (2nd floor), Summit, Forge
The rest of the week	Inn (2nd floor), Forge, Rose Plaza, Library
