In *Fields of Mistria*, building your farm goes hand in hand with cultivating deep, meaningful relationships with the townsfolk, particularly Juniper. If you're looking to deepen your bond with her and perhaps explore romance, understanding what gifts she appreciates is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to win Juniper over with the perfect presents.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, you can forge friendships with many characters, but romance is reserved for a select group of NPCs. As of the v0.13.0 update, you can pursue romance with 11 different NPCs, including the intriguing Caldarus.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills up based on your interactions. To build a romantic relationship with Juniper or any other NPC, you should:
- **Engage in daily conversations**: Regular chats while you're out and about in town can significantly boost your relationship.
- **Complete their requests**: Keep an eye on the town board for any tasks they post. Fulfilling these requests will help increase their heart gauge.
- **Give gifts**: You can present a gift to Juniper once per day. Choose items she likes or loves, which can be gathered or crafted. On her birthday, give her something she loves for an extra boost.
Remember, the current heart gauge cap is **six hearts**. Reaching this level will trigger a cutscene hinting at budding romance, but the full romantic journey isn't complete yet.
According to the game's roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and starting a family. So, keep nurturing your relationships, and your romance with Juniper will continue to blossom.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper, one of the romanceable characters in *Fields of Mistria*, is often seen searching for mystical ingredients or managing the bathhouse in the northeastern part of town. To win her heart, you'll want to visit her regularly, complete her requests, and bring her thoughtful gifts.
Juniper has a variety of items she likes and loves. Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so make sure to give her a gift she loves on that day to maximize the boost to her heart gauge. 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 through the heart icon tab in your journal.
