After a character reaches level two, you’ll unlock new roles to assign to them. These include gardening, fishing, mining, foraging and digging. The role page will appear automatically after reaching level two, so don’t worry about having to navigate your menus! Depending on which you choose, you’ll get a bonus for that particular skill, such as finding more items when digging or fishing.

Once you’ve assigned a role to your new friend, you can select the “Let’s hang out” conversation option. The character will follow you and activate their role bonus whenever you engage in specific activities. You’ll also gain friendship points along the way, so spend plenty of time with everyone!
