As you cultivate your farm in *Fields of Mistria*, nurturing meaningful relationships with the town’s residents becomes just as rewarding as growing crops. Among them, Juniper stands out as a particularly intriguing character to befriend—and perhaps even romance. If you're aiming to deepen your connection with her, understanding her preferences when it comes to gifts is essential. Not sure where to begin? Here's a complete guide on how to impress Juniper with the perfect presents.
While forming friendships with nearly every NPC in Fields of Mistria is possible, only a select few are eligible for romance. As of the v0.13.0 update, players can pursue romantic storylines with up to 11 different characters—including even Caldarus.
Each romanceable character has their own heart meter that gradually fills through various interactions. To build a stronger bond with Juniper (or any other love interest), make sure to:
Additionally, be sure to give them a beloved item on their birthday for a significant boost to their heart gauge.
Currently, heart gauges max out at six hearts. After reaching this level, a cutscene will play indicating that a deeper connection is forming—even if full romance events aren’t yet available.
According to the game’s development roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with marriage and family options. So, rest assured—you won't be left hanging on your path to romance.
Juniper is not only a potential romantic interest but also an integral part of town life as the operator of the bathhouse located in the northeast corner of Mistria. She often spends her time searching for rare magical ingredients, making her a unique and engaging character to get to know.
To strengthen your relationship with Juniper, focus on visiting her regularly, fulfilling her town board tasks, and offering thoughtful daily gifts.
Below is a list of items she "likes" and "loves." Be sure to avoid giving her universal dislikes and Sod, as these will negatively impact your progress.
You can check your current heart status with her anytime in your journal under the heart icon.
