Customs get double loyalty - even on a species that doesn't normally bond so easily. This implies it is somehow imbued....So perhaps there can be a TE item that doubles the individual's loyalty growth. Limits: Not usable on customs, familiars, or any species already at double. (No quadruple loyalty growth lol) If the species gains half loyalty, it can only be used once and only makes their loyalty the normal rate.
There isn't too much to gain from faster loyalty. Some cheap loyalty requirements aren't that big of a deal. Basics being pseudo-taught when the character is around isn't too heavy to need to limit. And Empathetic Link is really only flavor, not necessarily something breaking fairness. So this would just be an interesting item that could maybe cost like 500c and either be a potion or maybe a trinket. Something resembling affection or bonding - or go dark and make it mind-control. lol
I think it would be a neat item, and the RP-flavor of an ever-more-so-growing loyal creature is interesting.

If I remember correctly, Customs have double loyalty due to being 'designed' to take to people since they are designed specifically for people. That being said; I'd personally love to see this made into an item; I think it'd be very cute. I'm always stoked to see items in the game that 'do' a thing.
Offtopic but that Reminds me; I need to go to the Healer's Temple and grab one of those Wicker Charms just to have one, they're cool. Weird effect game items are fun.

I'm not opposed to it in theory! But, I am a little curious. Is there a net benefit to this suggestion that would make you want it implemented? Right now it seems as if you almost don’t want the item since you’re talking it down. Things like loyalty requirements can be circumvented for a lot cheaper by just roleplaying to meet them, after all. What practical uses do you see for it on the site? For example, what would YOU use it for?

I’d use it for an offspring that I will favor as if it was a custom. My two eventual Malii siblings that I have planned will be offspring but I want them to have a special loyalty bond with Riku that is purely flavor but expressed in their loyalty. In a large way, it is yet another gift from me to them. They shall be spoiled with custom armor and any possible trinket I can use. I thought this was a fitting idea to add…like a mutual gift, since it will allow them to really add up loyalty back to Riku.
