Plan
On Cai's route, Esmeralda's recruitment gate is 3 support with her, 7 renown and one Quest.
Part I, chapter 1
Give Esmeralda one liked gift per in-game week, choosing from her liked list (Home-Recipe Book, Kitten Figurine, Flexible Fishing Rod, Pastry Cookbook, Simple Pastries and the other liked items).† unverified
why: Builds Esmeralda's own support level toward the gate's 3S support component using gifts she likes.
Gifts bought from merchants in Dagsion (Shopping Arcade gift shop, cheap-gift shop at the Tavern at Lowtown) or world-map settlements; per the Gift Giving Guide
Part I, chapter 1
Add one further weekly support action with Esmeralda (shared meal at an inn, arena training pair, temple service, theatre, thermae or world-map feast) alongside the weekly gift to accumulate roughly nine support actions before chapter 5.† unverified
why: Supplements the once-per-week gift cap so the gate's 3S support component is reachable before the earliest chapter.
How to Increase Support Level: meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae and world-map feasts all raise support
Part I, chapter 1
From the start of Cai's route, prioritise quests above all else, especially Cai's specialised Kindness Quests, plus divine audiences, skirmishes, paralogues and main-story progression, to reach 7R renown before chapter 5.† unverified
why: Satisfies the gate's 7R renown component.
Renown Guide: quests are the largest renown source; Kindness Quests are Cai's route-specific renown quest type
Part I, chapter 1
Check the Bulletin Board, NPC requests and the Adventure Guide every week from the start of Cai's route and complete Esmeralda's Quest requirement as soon as it appears.† unverified
why: Satisfies the gate's single 'Quest' extra component.
What would sharpen this plan
- no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the 7R pacing cannot be verified
- no definition, prerequisite, count or expiry for the 'Quest' recruitment extra was found in any source
- no support points-per-action value or points-per-level threshold found, so the 3S schedule rests on the one-support-action-per-week baseline
- unresolved conflict: Game8's Esmeralda page gives support level 2 on Cai's route while the recruitment record gives 3
