Josh Guide - Schedule, Gifts and Where to Find Him
Josh in Welcome to Elderfield: his documented weekly spots from the Mall crossroad to the Playground, loved liked and hated gift tables, and cheap early gifts.
FAQ
Where does Josh live?
What are Josh's loved gifts?
Where is Josh on Thursday?
Josh lives in the Town West duplex beside Edwin’s house, a short walk left of the bus stop, so a single trip into that corner of town can cover his door and Edwin’s in one outing. This page collects his documented weekly route and his full reaction table.
Josh in One Look
| Home | Duplex in Town (West), left of the bus stop, right side of Edwin’s House |
| Documented days | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday |

Tracking Josh Through the Week
Four of his seven days are logged so far:
| Day | Where to find him |
|---|---|
| Monday | The crossroad near the sign to the Mall |
| Wednesday | The road south of the fancy house in Town (South East) |
| Thursday | The bus stop near your home |
| Saturday | South of the Playground |
The Thursday stop pairs him with the beginner guide’s first-week loop — Alice’s documented Thursday also runs through the bus stop, so gift inventory for two villagers can move in one outing.
What Josh Wants
| Tier | Items |
|---|---|
| Loved | Beating Heart · Bloodwing Moth · Expert BBQ Platter · Harvest Stew · Aged Cheese |
| Liked | Honey · Green Mushroom · Soda Pop · Gold Bar · Wax · Light Sandwich |
| Hated | Vegetable Soup · Tooth · Light Salad |
| Neutral | Salt Rock · Paper · Copper Ore · Copper Bar · Iron Ore · Gold Ore · Mystery Meat |
His loved list leans cooked: the Expert BBQ Platter and Harvest Stew both come out of the kitchen (see the cooking guide), and Harvest Stew doubles as a Tanner loved gift — one pot, two friendships. The Bloodwing Moth overlaps with Ellie’s loves, which the gift guide groups into its moth-basket strategy.
A Low-Cost Friendship Plan
Before the kitchen is running, the liked tier does the work: Honey, Green Mushroom, Soda Pop and Wax are staple-tier items, and unlike the ores on his neutral list they actually move the friendship meter. Once cooking unlocks, the platter and stew take over, with Aged Cheese as the patience option.
The hated list is short but easy to trip: Vegetable Soup and Light Salad look like safe default gifts and land as insults, and the Tooth is junk better kept out of the gift box.
