As you build and nurture your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, forging deep connections with the locals is just as crucial. Among these, Juniper stands out as a unique companion. If you're aiming to deepen your bond with her, mastering the art of gifting is essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you give Juniper the best gifts and foster a romantic relationship.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, while you can befriend nearly everyone, romance is reserved for a select group of 11 NPCs, including Caldarus himself, as introduced in the v0.13.0 update. Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that reflects your relationship progress, which you can increase by interacting with them thoughtfully.
To cultivate a romance, **engage in daily conversations** with your chosen NPC. These interactions can be seamlessly integrated into your daily town activities. Additionally, **fulfill their requests** posted on the town board; completing these tasks will significantly boost their heart gauge.
You can also **present gifts** to them once a day, ideally choosing items they particularly enjoy or adore. These preferences vary from one character to another and can be obtained through foraging, crafting, or purchasing. On their birthday, give them a gift they love for an extra boost to their heart meter. Consistent efforts in these areas will swiftly enhance your romantic prospects.
Currently, the heart gauge caps at **six hearts**. Once you reach this level, a cutscene will hint at the budding romance, though it won't signify a fully developed relationship yet. Future updates, as outlined in the game's roadmap, promise to introduce 8 and 10-heart events, as well as 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 found at the bathhouse she manages in the northeastern part of town or out collecting unusual ingredients for her witchcraft. To romance Juniper, prioritize visiting her, completing her town board requests, and giving her thoughtful daily gifts.
Juniper has specific items she likes and loves. Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, making it a perfect opportunity to give her a beloved gift for a significant boost to her heart gauge. Avoid giving her items she dislikes, including all universal dislikes for other NPCs and **Sod**.
