Lost Ark’s rapport system allows you to hang out with multiple NPCs in the game. The more you hang out with them, the closer you feel to them. In turn, the NPCs will give out gifts and rewards. Some rapport NPCs even give out important collectibles such as Omnium Stars or Giant’s Hearts, so it’s important to at least tackle these rapport NPCs who give out these rewards. However, progressing a rapport with an NPC can take quite a long time. The Festival of Fire and Ice item can help lower the time you need to rapport with a specific NPC.
When you participate in a rapport with an NPC, you can perform songs or dances to increase their affection level toward you. At certain benchmarks, you level up your rapport with them and grow closer to them. However, affection benchmarks can rise extraordinarily high, making it take weeks to properly max out a rapport with an NPC.
You can lower the time it takes to rapport with an NPC by giving them gifts, which will increase the amount of affection the NPC has for you. One of these rapport items is the Festival of Fire and Ice item, which is a Legendary-tier rapport item that increases the affection level toward an NPC by 2,000. This very quickly allows you to max out a rapport level with an NPC.
