Demon friendship is important to keep up for a number of positive benefits like being able to tri-fuse, having increased stats and getting a gift from your demon. If the demons friendship level is below Contracted, various stat penalties apply to the demon.

Levels of Friendship

List of levels of a demon's friendship with owner, in order from worst to best:

  • Wishes Death on (player name)
  • Looking to Betray (player name)
  • Used like a Slave by (player name)
  • Contracted to (player name)
  • Good Friends with (player name)
  • Trusting of (player name)
  • Open Hearts with (player name)
  • Linked by Fate with (player name)

Levels lower than "Contracted" give demon stat penalties, whereas levels higher give stat bonuses.

Increasing Friendship

Friendship can be increased in the following ways and may be triggered on a by-occurrence basis:

Note: The use of a one-time use item such as a Cup of Twilight will increase the chance of a friendship improvement, however it has no effect on the chance of a reduction in friendship occurring.

  • Use of the Care command gives a variable boost, depending on the demon and your alignment.
Usable once every 20 hours.
Different types give different boosts and cap at different levels.
  • Successful negotiations (talk or intimidate) with members of the same species or family.
The increase to friendship is greater with negotiations of the same family, smaller within the same species.
  • Levelling up the demon.
The increase is dependant on the demon and the level attained.
  • Use of equipment with "Toast" characteristic.
Toast is a passive type of status (coming from sets like Lover's Avatar) in which, when enabled, demons will gradually increase friendship. This is the slower way of increasing friendship with your demons.

Decreasing Friendship

Friendship will decrease in the following ways and may be triggered on a by-occurrence basis:

  • Using the Mooch command gives a significant reduction.
Usable once every 3 hours.
This causes a significant reduction.
  • Killing members of the same demon species or family, or the same demon.
The decrease to friendship is greater with kills of the same demon, smaller within the same family, and even smaller within the same species.
  • Your demon dying.
This is dependent on the demon.
