In *Fields of Mistria*, building your farm is just one part of the experience; fostering deep connections with the locals is equally rewarding. Juniper, in particular, stands out as a character you might want to get closer to. If you're aiming to deepen your bond with her, understanding the art of gifting is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you give Juniper the best gifts and enhance your relationship.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
While you can build friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you have the option to pursue romance with 11 different characters, including Caldarus himself.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills based on your interactions with them. To cultivate a romantic relationship, engage with them regularly and pay close attention to their preferences. Start by **talking to them daily**, which you can do while completing other tasks around town. Daily conversations can significantly boost your relationship. Additionally, make sure to fulfill any requests they post on the town board, as this provides more opportunities to increase their heart gauge.
You can also **give them a gift once per day**, choosing items they particularly enjoy. These items vary by character and can be gathered or crafted. On their birthday, give them an item they love to maximize the heart gauge boost. Consistent efforts in these areas will quickly elevate their affection towards you.
Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. After achieving six hearts, 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 is one of the romanceable characters in *Fields of Mistria*. When not searching for witchcraft ingredients, you can find her at the bathhouse she manages in the northeastern part of town. To romance Juniper, focus on visiting her, completing her town board requests, and giving her daily gifts.
Juniper has a variety of items she "likes" and "loves." Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so make sure to gift her an item she "loves" on that day for an extra heart gauge boost. 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 in your journal under the heart icon tab.
