Tobbin
Tobbin

Overview

Tobbin is Marina's fisherman colleague in the Medieval Fishing Village. His personal role is a platonic friendship, with three repeatable conversation actions and a one-time Perception reward. His location follows Marina's live hut-duty schedule. He also appears in the optional brothel private-client system.

Stats and Where to Find Him

Detail Value
Age / era / alignment 64 / Medieval / Good
Favorite stats Stamina30; Perception35; Communication25
Special relationship skill Master Baiter
Favorite gift / gift action None configured
Marina on hut duty Tobbin is at Fishing Village Coast
Marina off hut duty or on vacation Tobbin is inside Fishing Hut
Both of Tobbin's registered location windows cover all hours, every day. A complementary availability check puts him at exactly one of the two places, rather than giving him an independent day-parity schedule.
Under Marina's ordinary current schedule, she works inside the hut 4 AM–5 PM, so Tobbin is normally on the coast then and covers the hut outside those hours. If Marina is away on vacation, he covers the hut instead. Marina's separate Known+ evening coast portrait does not make her count as being on hut duty.
Select Tobbin's portrait at whichever place he currently occupies. His four personal actions are the same at both locations. Tobbin is Marina's colleague, not a relative; his affection content does not add a romance or worker-recruitment route.

Daily Conversations and Perception Reward

Action Requirement Cost Actual reward / allowance
Talk to Tobbin Stranger 15 minutes 2 actual base affection; four daily
Ask about Fishing Acknowledged 15 minutes 2 actual base; three daily
Hear a Fish Story Known 20 minutes 2 actual base; two daily
An Eye for the Water Friend; Communication30 30 minutes Perception +1 and 8 direct affection; once
The three conversation types have separate counters, but each counter is shared between Tobbin's two locations. At Known, using all nine positive conversations costs 145 minutes and submits 18 total base affection before shared modifiers. Returning to a different location does not refresh the allowance.
After a conversation type is exhausted, its handler submits a negative relationship result. Continue the other eligible conversation types or return the next game day. Ordinary Talk selects stage, fishing and Marina-related dialogue at random; that text selection does not change its two-point base or turn it into a skill lesson.
Listed relationship rewards are base values. Favorite stats add bonuses when their thresholds are met, and the special relationship skill doubles the adjusted base before the shared random roll. Equipment, buffs and alignment can further change the final reward. Raising affection does not replace quest flags or earlier heart-to-hearts.
Master Baiter is a relationship bonus if already learned, not a skill Tobbin teaches. Ask about Fishing and Hear a Fish Story award affection without a separate stat or proficiency reward. An Eye for the Water is the fixed direct award and requires Communication30 as well as Friend.
  1. Check whether Marina is working inside the hut, then meet Tobbin at the other location.
  2. Use up to four daily Talks to reach Acknowledged.
  3. Add the separate three daily Ask about Fishing uses.
  4. At Known, add up to two daily Fish Stories.
  5. At Friend with Communication30, claim An Eye for the Water once for Perception +1 and eight direct affection.
There is no personal introductory quest, heart-to-heart, date, apartment scene or additional recruitment gate registered for Tobbin. Higher affection changes his stage-based dialogue; it does not unlock an unlisted romance action.

Optional Private-Client Bookings

Tobbin enters the Receive a Client roster at brothel reputation level3. Start this action at the Rose & Thorn entrance with Netorare enabled, while operating a brothel. The hotel branch does not provide this system.
The roster selection is random among eligible clients, so starting a booking does not guarantee Tobbin. The system has a shared once-per-game-day booking allowance, separate from his ordinary Talk counters. A completed accepted visit takes 30 minutes and pays the offered fee directly, with possible tip and quality bonus. Declining the booking or an unwilling worker's response takes 10 minutes and still uses the booking allowance, without the accepted-visit payment.
Use an eligible worker who is active, healthy, on shift and available, rather than resting, away at the resort or assigned as the Ballroom apprentice. Active monster workers need 30 Tamed. Tobbin has no configured family-exclusion entry. His authored preference is patient company, with Sashimi listed as his favorite; special pairing scenes exist for Pixie, Sashimi and Willow.
The actual shared service logic uses Loyalty/Tamed for willingness and the average of Dexterity and Ability for quality. For monsters, Agility supplies the Dexterity slot. Appearance and Charisma affect tip calculation (Allure and Aura for monsters). The client's legacy favorite, stat and weight fields do not replace these implemented calculations or the uniform client selection.
Even a worker strong enough to exceed the difficulty retains a 10% upset chance. Client visits award business and selected-worker rewards separately; they do not grant ordinary Tobbin affection or NPC intimacy experience. A successful worker praise bonus can give the selected worker's NPC 5 direct affection, rather than Tobbin.

Troubleshooting

  • He is missing from the hut: when Marina works inside, look on the coast.
  • He is missing from the coast: outside Marina's hut shift, or while she is on vacation, look inside the hut.
  • Ask about Fishing is missing: reach Acknowledged.
  • Fish Story is missing: reach Known.
  • The Perception reward is missing: reach Friend, raise Communication to30 and check whether it is already claimed.
  • He did not teach Master Baiter: his conversations are friendship actions; the skill is learned through its separate game content.
  • I cannot request him as a client: the daily client roster is random, and private bookings require the separate brothel operation, Netorare and reputation gates.

Credits and Current Scope

Verified against Tobbin's action factory, actual two-point conversation handlers, Marina-dependent schedule checks, shared one-time reward handler and private-client code and content. His original game profile portrait is uploaded unchanged and placed in the existing Characters gallery style. No game behavior is changed.
