NPC intimacy - gifting Agnes
Do you just gift to NPC's all (x) number of items they like all at once or do you come back day after day? Gave up on Aeria (Music Theory), and now with Agnes (first aid f->e), when wiki says only 20 or so books are needed and I have been doing the visit, gift, come back later after, and it doesn't seem to be working. repeatedly starting conversations earns me the "your coming here too often warning"... even tho likeability is in the positive territory.
Also Agnes hinted about getting rid of the white grizzly, and so in the middle of fighting one it disappeared, along with all the others, and wiki says that only happens after you defeat it, but I never saw a completion thing, nor did Agnes acknowledge I did anything like that.

Use "Likeability Potions".
Due to how NPC intimacy works behind the scenes, and how Likeability Potions work, all it takes is:
1. Have a clean slate with the NPC (either through never having talked to them, or having them forget you over time)
2. Gift the NPC 5 Likeability Potions one after the other, with no talking
3. After the 5th Likeability Potion, check their shop and the secret shop should be open to you
It's all tied to 3 values you can't really see.
Let's call them "Favor", "Memory", and "Stress".
Favor is gained from gifts they like.
Memory is gained by talking to them.
Stress is gained by talking to them too much.
The key for every npc's secret shop is in these values
Favor needs to be 50 or higher
Memory needs to be 15 or higher
Stress needs to be less than 5
Because each NPC has different tastes, it's just easiest to use Likeability potions because what THEY do is:
Favor +10
Memory +4
Not totally sure how stress works, but if all you do is give them 5 Likeability Potions, you don't have to worry, because you'll end up with
50 Favor
and 20 Memory
which is enough to open any NPC's secret shop!
Aeira is more easily bribeable, I got the book on all my alts by just gifting her 12-15 anthologies in a row (no conversation in between). Don't give up!
As for Aeira, she is one of the easiest NPC's to bribe, so it shouldn't take too long to open her shop. Alternatively, gifting her just one likeability potion, and talking to her with the 'skills' keyword got me the Music Theory book, so if you have some spare likeability potions after bribing Agnes, you'll likely need just one to bribe Aeira.
Also did a few part time jobs for her, one did fail in the time allotted, but that was like 4-5 jobs ago.... she really is a b*****
