In *Fields of Mistria*, while you can befriend almost everyone, romance is a special connection reserved for a select group of NPCs. As of the v0.13.0 update, you can pursue romance with one of 11 different NPCs, including the intriguing Caldarus.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills based on your interactions. To build a romance with a specific character, frequent engagement and understanding their preferences are key. Start by **talking to them daily** as you go about your tasks in town. Regular conversation can significantly boost their affection. Also, be sure to **fulfill their requests** posted on the town board, as this provides more opportunities to increase their heart gauge.
You can also **give them a gift once per day**. Choose items they particularly enjoy or love, which can be gathered or crafted. On their birthday, make sure to gift something they love for an extra boost to their heart gauge. Consistently following these steps will help you quickly increase their affection.
Currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. Reaching this level will trigger a cutscene hinting at budding feelings, but not full-blown romance yet. However, according to the game’s roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romance in Mistria has the potential to flourish.
All Gifts For Juniper in Fields of Mistria
Juniper is a unique character you can romance in *Fields of Mistria*. When not searching for rare witchcraft ingredients, she can be found running the bathhouse in the northeastern part of town. To win her heart, focus on regular visits, completing her requests on the town board, and giving her thoughtful gifts daily.
Juniper appreciates a variety of gifts, categorized into items she "likes" and "loves." Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so make sure to gift her something she loves on that day for an extra boost to her heart gauge. Be mindful to avoid items she dislikes, which include all universal dislikes and **Sod**.
You can track the status of her heart gauge anytime via the heart icon tab in your journal.
