As you cultivate your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, fostering deep connections with the town's inhabitants is equally crucial. Juniper, in particular, stands out as a valuable friend and potential romantic partner. To deepen your bond with her, understanding the art of gifting is essential. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you win Juniper's heart through thoughtful gifts.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
While you can build friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is exclusive to a select group of NPCs. As of the v0.13.0 update, you can pursue romance with 11 different characters, including the enigmatic Caldarus.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that increases based on your interactions. To foster a romantic relationship with a specific character, engage with them regularly and cater to their unique preferences. Start by **conversing with them daily**, which can be seamlessly integrated into your daily routine around town. Consistent conversations can significantly boost their affection towards you.
Additionally, make it a priority to **fulfill their requests** posted on the town board. Completing these tasks not only helps the community but also provides opportunities to enhance their heart gauge.
Lastly, you can **give them gifts once a day**, choosing items they particularly enjoy. These preferences vary between characters, so you'll need to gather or craft items tailored to their tastes. On their birthday, ensure you give them a gift they adore, which will significantly increase their heart gauge.
Keep in mind that, currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. A special cutscene will play once you achieve this level, hinting at a budding romance but not yet a full commitment.
According to the game's roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romantic journey in Mistria has a fulfilling future.
