As you cultivate your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, nurturing relationships with the locals is equally vital. Juniper, in particular, is a special friend whose affection can be deepened through thoughtful gifting. If you're eager to enhance your bond with her, here's a comprehensive guide on selecting the best gifts for Juniper.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, you can build friendships with many residents, but romance is exclusive to a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you can pursue romance with 11 different NPCs, including Caldarus himself.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that increases based on your interactions. To foster a romantic connection, engage with them regularly and pay attention to their preferences. Start by **chatting with them daily**—this can be seamlessly integrated into your daily tasks around town. Regular conversations can significantly strengthen your bond. Additionally, fulfill any requests they post on the town board, as this will provide more chances to boost their heart gauge.
Lastly, you can **give them gifts once per day**, choosing items they particularly enjoy or adore. These items differ for each character and can be gathered or crafted. On their birthday, ensure you present them with a gift they love, which will substantially increase their heart meter.
Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach up to **six hearts**. Once you hit this threshold, a cutscene will suggest a budding romance, though it's not yet fully developed.
According to the game's roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events for romanceable NPCs, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romantic journey in Mistria continues to evolve.
