Companion Gifts Guide: How to buy your love

From oldrepublic.net:

As we all know by now, our decisions and actions can please or displease our companions. And since your character will be stuck with the same companions for the rest of his….virtual life, might as well make them like you. Unfortunately, you won’t win their hearts with good looks and a charming smile….yes, unlike real life, in SWTOR money CAN buy love!

Companion gifts are the way to gain the affection of your trusty comrades and they are categorized in ranks from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest rank and 5 the highest.
There are three methods to procure companion gifts: you can purchase rank 1 and 2 companion gifts from the Fleets companion vendors and on some planets there are also companion vendors that sell gifts of higher rank. Another way is to buy them off the Galactic Trade Network (GTN), from the Miscellaneous category. Last but not least, mission skills can sometimes return companion gifts as rewards.

Since it’s doubtful that Qyzen Fess will appreciate the old box of chocolates and flowers you must know that each companion likes only certain types of gifts. Gift types are categorized into Imperial Memorabilia, Republic Memorabilia, Trophy, Technology, Courting, Luxury, Cultural Artifact, Weapon, Underworld Goods, and Military. So how will you know which companion likes what? The answer is pretty simple: rank 1 gifts can generate one of the following affection points: 0, +24, +54, +96. Each companion will like one or two gift types and by giving him one of those gifts you will receive +96 or +54 affection ( as it was noticed that some companions don’t fancy any gifts that bring the max amount of points, namely 96). For detailed information about the gifts that each companion likes, check our gift charts (thanks to Traxex):
