While friendships flourish with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select few NPCs. As of update v0.13.0, you can pursue a romantic relationship with 11 different characters—even Caldarus himself! Each romanceable NPC boasts a unique heart meter, which fills based on your interactions. To woo your chosen NPC, regular interaction, attention to their preferences, and thoughtful gifts are essential.
Start by chatting with them daily, easily incorporating conversations into your routine tasks. Completing their requests from the town board also significantly boosts their affection. Finally, present a daily gift—an item they like or love—to further strengthen your bond. Remember to give them a beloved item on their birthday for an extra heart boost!
Currently, NPC heart meters max out at six hearts. Reaching this milestone triggers a heartwarming cutscene hinting at the blossoming romance, but the story continues. Future updates, as outlined in the game's roadmap, will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, marriage, and even the possibility of children. So, your Mistria romance is only just beginning!
All Gifts for Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, a charming and enigmatic character, is among the romanceable NPCs in *Fields of Mistria*. When she’s not brewing potions, you can find her at the bathhouse she manages in the northeast part of town. To romance Juniper, focus on visiting her, completing her board requests, and presenting her with thoughtful daily gifts.
Juniper appreciates a variety of gifts, both “liked” and “loved.” Her birthday falls on the 26th day of Fall; make sure to give her a "loved" item then for an extra boost to her affection. Avoid giving her universally disliked items and, specifically, **Sod**.
You can always check Juniper's heart meter progress in your journal's heart-icon tab.
