In *Fields of Mistria*, cultivating your farm goes hand-in-hand with nurturing friendships with the locals. If you're interested in developing a romantic relationship with Juniper, one of the game's most enchanting characters, understanding the art of gifting is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you impress Juniper with the perfect presents.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
While you can forge friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select group of 11 NPCs, including the intriguing Caldarus, as introduced in the v0.13.0 update. Each romanceable NPC has a unique heart meter that fills based on your interactions with them. To foster a romantic connection with Juniper or any other character, you should:
- **Engage in daily conversations**: Make it a habit to talk to them every day as you go about your tasks in town. These regular chats can significantly boost your relationship.
- **Fulfill their requests**: Keep an eye on the town board for any requests they post and complete them. This not only helps the community but also increases their affection towards you.
- **Gift them daily**: You can give one gift per day, and it should be something they like or love. The items vary from character to character, so pay attention to their preferences. On their birthday, presenting an item they love can give a significant boost to their heart meter.
Currently, the heart meter maxes out at six hearts. Reaching this level with Juniper will trigger a special cutscene hinting at budding romance. However, be patient, as the game's roadmap promises future updates that will include 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romantic journey in Mistria is just beginning.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, who you can find managing the bathhouse in the northeastern part of town, is a key romanceable character in *Fields of Mistria*. To win her heart, focus on frequent visits, completing her requests on the town board, and selecting the right gifts. Juniper's birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, making it the perfect time to give her a gift she loves for an extra heart meter boost.
Be mindful that Juniper dislikes all universal dislikes shared by other NPCs, as well as **Sod**. To track your progress, you can always check her heart meter in your journal under the heart icon tab.
