As you cultivate your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, it's equally crucial to nurture relationships with the town's residents. Juniper, in particular, offers a unique opportunity for a deeper connection. To foster a romance with her, understanding her preferences for gifts is key. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you win Juniper's heart through thoughtful gifting.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, while you can build friendships with virtually everyone, romance is exclusive to a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you have the option to pursue romance with 11 different characters, including Caldarus.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills based on your interactions. To deepen your bond with a specific character, engage with them regularly and tailor your actions to their preferences. Start by **talking to them daily**, which can be seamlessly integrated into your routine around town. These daily conversations are essential for building rapport.
Additionally, make it a priority to **complete their requests** posted on the town board. Each fulfilled request not only strengthens your bond but also provides more chances to increase their heart gauge.
Lastly, you can **gift them items** they enjoy once per day. These items vary by character and can be foraged or crafted. On their birthday, ensure you give them a gift they love, which will significantly boost their heart gauge.
Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. Once you achieve this, a cutscene will hint at budding feelings but not a full romance yet. 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 continues to evolve.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, a romanceable character in *Fields of Mistria*, can often be found either searching for witchcraft ingredients or managing her bathhouse in the northeastern part of town. To romance Juniper, focus on visiting her, fulfilling her requests on the town board, and presenting her with daily gifts.
Juniper has a range of items she "likes" and "loves". Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, and giving her a gift she "loves" on this day will significantly enhance her heart gauge.
Be cautious about items she dislikes, which include all universal dislikes for NPCs and **Sod**. Avoid these to keep your relationship with Juniper on track.
You can monitor the progress of Juniper's heart gauge in your journal under the tab with the heart icon.
