Cultivating friendships is as vital to your *Fields of Mistria* farming journey as growing crops. Juniper, a particularly charming villager, offers a unique path to romance, and understanding her gifting preferences is key. This guide provides a comprehensive look at winning Juniper's affection through thoughtful gifts.
While friendships blossom readily in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select few. As of v0.13.0, 11 NPCs, including Caldarus, are available for romantic pursuits. Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter, increasing through interaction and thoughtful gestures.
To woo your chosen NPC, engage daily in conversation – a simple chat goes a long way. Complete their requests posted on the town board for significant heart meter boosts. Finally, present a daily gift; items they like or love will yield the best results. Remember to shower them with extra love on their birthday!
Currently, heart meters max out at six hearts, triggering an initial romantic scene. Future updates promise 8 and 10-heart events, marriage, and even children, ensuring your Mistria romance blossoms fully.
All Gifts for Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, residing at the bathhouse northeast of town, is a prime romantic candidate. Focus on visiting, completing her requests, and offering daily gifts to win her heart. Her birthday falls on the 26th day of Fall; a "loved" item will significantly boost her affection.
Avoid universal dislikes and specifically, "Sod," to prevent hindering your progress. Track your progress via the heart icon in your journal.
