He doesn’t leave his tower unless there’s a special cutscene or festival. You’ll find him at his house from 6 A.M to 11 P.M. However, you can freely access his place beyond the closing time by using the teleport rune in the Witch’s Hut. Note that the hut only becomes available after solving the Goblin Problem Quest.

This happens when you give him something that either disgusts or pleases him.

You can increase your Friendship Hearts with him by gifting him two (plus one on his birthday) items that he loves or likes. However, boosting your relationship with him doesn’t make him eligible for marriage.

Make sure to not forget his birthday on Winter 17. It’ll help you build a better relationship with him. You should also keep track of the Wizard’s likes and loves because giving him anything he dislikes or hates lowers your Friendship Points.
