## Key points

- Ten dates are required to recruit Halvin.
- Tarvos offers dates but contains dangerous sandworms.
- Cai must grow dates from vegetable crates.

## Summary

Players need 10 dates to recruit Halvin in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, making them an important resource despite the danger involved in obtaining them. Halvin is a valuable high-accuracy attacker: her Adaptability ability grants her +2 hit after every combat, while Halt Advance lowers the speed of enemies she attacks.

Dates are most reliably found at the Tarvos agriculture search spot in the eastern desert, accessible once players reach renown level six, though high-level sandworms make the area hazardous. Other agriculture spots in the desert and Orion Canyon also provide dates alongside other vegetables; Cai cannot access these areas and must instead find a date in vegetable crates, plant it, and use manure to grow a crop of 10, repeating the process if it becomes a rarer vegetable.
