You might not be able to settle down with Rapport NPCs in Lost Ark the same way you can in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, or even Stardew Valley.

Increasing your Rapport Level with these NPCs rewards tons of goodies.

Every time you increase your Rapport to a new stage, from Normal to Trusted (or even Affection), you can claim a new reward such as Engraving recipes, Pheonix Plumes, or even gold coins. At the time of this writing, it does not appear that gifting a Rapport NPC a present on their birthday increases the amount of Rapport built.
