Gaining the Sheriff’s Trust: The Ultimate Guide to Justice’s Favorite Gifts in My Time at Sandrock

If you are trying to climb the social ladder in the post-apocalyptic desert town of Sandrock, getting on the good side of the town’s law enforcement is a pretty solid strategy. Justice, Sandrock’s laid-back yet dedicated chief civil corpsman, keeps the peace alongside his trusty deputies (and a very special camel). But how do you turn the town’s top sheriff from a casual acquaintance into your best friend, lover, or spouse?

Winning over Justice is all about understanding his love for fitness, combat gear, and a comfortable lifestyle. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about navigating Justice’s gift preferences to maximize your relationship points (RP) quickly.

Understanding Gift Mechanics in Sandrock

Before handing over your hard-earned items, keep a few golden rules of gifting in mind:

• Diminishing Returns: Giving the exact same gift day after day will cause its effectiveness to drop. Mix it up!
• Quality Matters: Higher-tier or higher-quality versions of items grant bonus relationship points based on their value.
• Timing is Everything: Gifts given on Justice’s birthday yield triple the points, and festival days double them!

Top-Tier Gifts: What Justice “Loves” (+16 to +19 RP)

If you want to make a massive splash and rapidly accelerate your friendship level, look no further than items related to working out, heavy weaponry, and top-tier comfort. Handing him these will net you the highest possible relationship gains:

• Furniture & Comfort:
  • Comfortable Chair (+19)
  • Working Desk (+15)
  • Office Chair (+14)
  • Pro Gamer Chair (+12)
• Fitness Equipment:
  • Arm Stretcher (+18)
  • Barbell (+18)
• Weapons & Gear (High-Tier):
  • Alloy Heavy Sword / Alloy Sword and Shield (+16)
  • Essential Heavy Sword / Essential Sword and Shield (+16)
  • Titanium Heavy Sword / Titanium Sword and Shield (+16)
  • Helical Gear Sword and Shield (+16)
  • Vintage Assault Rifle (+16)
  • Light Hammer (+16)
  • Ngulu (+16)
• Medicines & Consumables:
  • Fang Special X (+17)
  • Golden Bell Pill (+14)
  • Iron Muscle Soup (+13)

Great Alternatives: What Justice “Likes” (+6 to +10 RP)

If you aren’t quite far enough along in your crafting tree to build heavy titanium gear or luxury office furniture, don’t worry. Justice is a practical guy who also appreciates mid-tier gear, gems, and hearty food.

• Explorer Gear & Bronze/Iron Weapons: Items like Explorer Pants, Explorer Boots, Explorer Vest (+10), or any standard Iron Greatsword and Iron Sword and Shield (+9) are great mid-game options.
• Gems & Valuables: Diamond, Gold, Sunstone, Opal, Rosestone, and Spinel (ranging from +7 to +9 RP).
• Food & Comfort Items: Hearty dishes like Braised BBQ Ribs, Beef Noodles, or even standard Water (+6 to +8 RP) are easy to secure and keep him content.

What NOT to Give Justice (Disliked Items)

Sheriff Justice has a polite demeanor, but he definitely has zero tolerance for trash and junk. Avoid giving him structural scraps (wood, stone, or metal scraps), basic ruined items (like Ruined Cloth or Dregs), and toy weapons, all of which will actively subtract relationship points (ranging from -1 to -5 RP). Stick to items that show you respect his role as a protector and a pillar of the Sandrock community.
