Gathering dates is key to recruiting Halvin in Fortune’s Weave

Full account

Dates in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave are chiefly obtained in the Tarvos agriculture search area, situated in the eastern desert. Access is restricted until renown reaches level six, because the routes are closed by gatehouses. The location can also bring encounters with powerful sandworms, making preparation advisable before travelling there.

The Tarvos spot is presented as the most direct option because its searches yield only dates. Players who require 10 to recruit Halvin may therefore need several search turns, but will not be collecting unrelated produce. Dates can also appear at other agricultural locations around the desert and towards Orion Canyon, although the wider possible loot pool may slow progress.

For players using Cai, the route is more complicated. Cai cannot reach the western side of the continent, including the desert, so dates must instead be obtained from vegetable crates sold in certain settlements. Once a date is found, it can be planted at a farming site and boosted with manure from Dagsion’s stables; after several turns, the resulting crop may provide the required quantity. There is reportedly a risk that it changes into a rarer crop, requiring the process to begin again.

After collecting the fruit, players can return to Dagsion and give it to Halvin to add her to the group. Source 1 describes her as an accuracy-focused character: her Adaptability ability improves hit chance after combat, and she can learn effects that reduce an opponent’s speed. It suggests she is particularly useful against foes benefiting from terrain, while her high innate accuracy can also offset less precise bows.
