Research notes
- Give Halvin one liked gift every in-game week (Potted Vegetables, Gaudy Bangle, Simple Pastries or Garum) by talking to her and choosing Gifts. Why: Weekly liked gifts aimed at Halvin herself raise her support level toward the 3S component of the gate.
- Pair Halvin with the player avatar for one additional support-raising activity per week: a shared inn meal, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae, a world-map feast or combat adjacency. Why: Non-gift activities with Halvin add to the same 3S support component, which is capped at roughly one such action per week per partner.
- Prioritise every quest that appears from the start of the route, above all Cai's own Kindness Quests, alongside divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues, to push renown toward 5R. Why: Quests and the route's specialised quest type are the largest renown source, covering the 5R component of the gate.
- Start collecting 10x Dates from the first free-time window, checking market stalls, foraging spots, quest rewards and skirmish drops for the ingredient. Why: Satisfies the 10x Dates component of the gate, whose acquisition route is undocumented rather than shop-confirmed. Dates appear in planning-inputs.md only as a desert-fruit ingredient; no shop, drop or fishing source, price, stock or first availability is confirmed for it in any fetched source.
Missing plan details
- no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for this route, so the chapter at which 5R is reached cannot be pinned down
- renown conflict resolved 2026-09-23: the game lists 5 Renown on Cai's path (player feedback row 104, 2026-09-23), confirming Game8's 5R (https://game8.co/games/Fire-Emblem-Fortunes-Weave/archives/623997); RPG Site's 9R is the outlier
- no support-points-per-action or points-per-rank figures found anywhere, so the ~3 actions per support level pacing is an assumption
- no shop, price, stock or first-availability data found for Dates
Where to get the items

Story and profile
Who they are
Halvin is a travelling performer who grew up on a farm and toured with a circus before ending up in Anatolia's group by chance. She dislikes fighting, and nerves and homesickness can get the better of her. Growing vegetables, shopping, street performing and cheering crowds are what she likes, and she also practises magic tricks and keeps house.
Halvin is an archer with a 60% Dexterity growth and 45% Speed. Adaptability gives Hit+2 after each combat until the map ends, up to +30, so her accuracy climbs the longer a map goes. Strength at 35%, Defence at 30% and Resistance at 25% keep her damage and survivability modest. She prefers Bow and Rider skills, which point towards Forest Knight, and dislikes Axe. The guide rates her C, though Game8 and KeenGamer put her at A. The guide's path is Hunter, Archer, Forest Knight, Bow Knight.
