As you cultivate your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, nurturing relationships with the locals is equally rewarding. Among them, Juniper stands out as a special friend, and if romance is on your mind, understanding her gifting preferences is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide to wooing Juniper with the perfect gifts.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, while you can befriend most residents, romance is exclusive to a select group of 11 NPCs, including the intriguing Caldarus, as introduced in the v0.13.0 update. Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that reflects your relationship progress. To deepen your bond with a character like Juniper, engage in regular interactions and cater to their specific likes and dislikes.
Start by **engaging in daily conversations** with them, which you can seamlessly integrate into your daily town activities. Consistent chats can significantly boost your connection. Additionally, fulfill any requests they post on the town board; each completed task is a step closer to their heart.
Gift-giving is another powerful tool at your disposal. You can present **one gift per day**, ideally something they love or like. These items vary between characters and can be foraged or crafted. On their birthday, make it special by giving them a beloved item. Consistent efforts in these areas will swiftly increase their heart gauge.
Keep in mind, however, that the current heart gauge limit for NPCs is **six hearts**. Reaching this level triggers a cutscene hinting at a budding romance, though not yet fully developed. According to the game's roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romance in Mistria has room to flourish.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, one of the romanceable characters in *Fields of Mistria*, can often be found managing the bathhouse in the northeastern part of town or searching for mystical ingredients. To win her heart, make frequent visits, complete her requests on the town board, and gift her items she adores.
Juniper has a range of items she "likes" and "loves." Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so ensure you gift her something she "loves" on this day for a significant boost to her heart gauge. Avoid items she dislikes, which include universal dislikes for all NPCs and **Sod**.
You can monitor the progress of Juniper's heart gauge in your journal under the heart icon tab.
