In *Fields of Mistria*, building your farm is just one part of the adventure; nurturing friendships with the locals is equally rewarding. If you're aiming to deepen your bond with Juniper, understanding her gifting preferences is crucial. Here's your comprehensive guide to winning her heart with the perfect gifts.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
While you can befriend almost anyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is a special journey reserved for a select few NPCs. As of the v0.13.0 update, you have the option to pursue romance with 11 different characters, including the intriguing Caldarus.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that reflects your relationship status. To kindle a romance, engage with them regularly and cater to their specific likes and dislikes. Start by **talking to them daily**—a simple conversation can significantly boost your relationship. Don't forget to **fulfill their requests** posted on the town board, as these actions will provide ample opportunities to increase their heart gauge.
Additionally, you can **give them a gift once per day**. Choose items they particularly enjoy or adore. These preferences vary from one character to another, so you'll need to gather or craft the right items. On their birthday, make sure to present them with a gift they love for an extra boost to their heart gauge.
Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. After achieving this level, a cutscene will hint at a budding romance, but it won't be fully realized 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 flourish.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, a romanceable character in *Fields of Mistria*, is often seen searching for unique witchcraft ingredients. You can find her at the bathhouse she manages in the northeastern part of town. To win her affection, make regular visits, complete her requests on the town board, and bring her thoughtful daily gifts.
Juniper has a range of items she "likes" and "loves." Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so ensure you give her a gift she "loves" on that day to significantly enhance her heart gauge. Avoid giving her items she dislikes, which include all universal dislikes and **Sod**.
You can monitor the status of her heart gauge at any time through the heart icon tab in your journal.
