Recruit

Plan

On Cai's route, Ninae requires 3 support levels with her, 6 renown and 1x Paradise Fish.

  1. Part I, chapter 1

    Give Ninae one of her liked gifts (Strategy Manuscript, Eastern Black Silk, Tales of Adventure, Eastern Tea Leaves) and share a meal or equivalent support activity with her every in-game week, starting in the first free-time window of the route.† unverified

  2. Part I, chapter 1

    Prioritise quests from the very start of the route (every Kindness Quest as soon as it appears, plus divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues) to build renown toward 6R.† unverified

  3. Part I, chapter 1

    Fish at Lake Brontes in Saveilon (and check other fishing spots) until 1x Paradise Fish is in your inventory.† unverified

Research notes
  • Give Ninae one of her liked gifts (Strategy Manuscript, Eastern Black Silk, Tales of Adventure, Eastern Tea Leaves) and share a meal or equivalent support activity with her every in-game week, starting in the first free-time window of the route. Why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Ninae's Cai-route gate. Gifts bought from merchants at the Dagsion Shopping Arcade, the Tavern at Lowtown, or world-map settlements; one gift per character per week, plus meals, arena training, temple service, theatre, thermae, feasts and combat adjacency
  • Prioritise quests from the very start of the route (every Kindness Quest as soon as it appears, plus divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues) to build renown toward 6R. Why: Satisfies the 6R renown component of Ninae's Cai-route gate.
  • Fish at Lake Brontes in Saveilon (and check other fishing spots) until 1x Paradise Fish is in your inventory. Why: Satisfies the 1x Paradise Fish extra in Ninae's Cai-route gate. Fishing catch at Lake Brontes, Saveilon — not shop-sold (per planning-inputs.md)

Missing plan details

  • no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the chapter where 6R is reached is unknown
  • no first-availability chapter found for Paradise Fish, nor for when Saveilon and Lake Brontes become reachable
  • no support-points-per-action rate or points-per-rank threshold found in any source, so the support schedule is a weekly-action estimate only

Where to get the items

1x Paradise Fish: best spot Lake Brontes (Saveilon)
  • Lake Brontes (Saveilon), nearest posthouse not yet documented

Best odds first is this guide’s own guess, not a published drop rate.◇ our recommendation: ranked by fewest other listed items

Story and profile

Who they are

Ninae belongs to Vulkan, the elite unit of Credna's temple, and is called Black Thread Ninae. She hears and senses spirits, and her interests follow from that: she likes talking to spirits, skygazing, daydreaming and her keepsake necklace, and she has a soft spot for pitiable people.

Her path runs Diviner, Priest, Bishop, Sentinel. Spirits' Voice adds Hit and Avo+10 whenever the foe uses magic, so she is the natural unit to send at enemy mages. Luck growth is 50%, and Resistance, Strength and HP are 45%. Magic is only 35%, low for a healer, and Speed is 35%. She learns Physic at White Magic rank B. Diadem of Reflection gives Hit+30 on a 10% trigger. White Magic, Rider and Spear are preferred skills and Bow is a bane skill. She is ranked A, a step below Game8's call, and joins in Part 1.
