Fields of Mistria offers players the chance to build meaningful relationships, including marriage, with a diverse cast of characters. To achieve this, players must increase their heart rank with potential partners by giving them gifts they love. Reaching heart rank eight allows for a romantic relationship, while rank ten opens the door to marriage and even starting a family.
This guide details all 12 romanceable candidates and suggests easily obtainable early-game items to help players woo them. These recommendations focus on items available early in the game, rather than an exhaustive list of every liked or loved gift.
Romance Candidates and Gift Recommendations
Adeline, the daughter of Mistria's barons and the town's de facto leader, can be swayed with tulips during the spring or peaches in the summer, both of which can be foraged. She particularly loves peaches and cream, a dish requiring peaches, milk, and sugar, and coffee, which can be purchased from vendors.
Balor, a traveling merchant who facilitates item shipping, appreciates gemstones. Early in the game, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds found in the mines are good choices. He loves perfect versions of these gems.
Celine, a gentle young woman studying plants and nature, is the daughter of the general store owners. She likes all foraged flowers, such as lilacs, tulips, dandelions, and daisies. Her favorite gift is hydrangeas, commonly found on the Eastern Road during the summer.
Eiland, Adeline's brother and an archaeology enthusiast, primarily favors cooked dishes. Candied strawberries, made with strawberries and sugar, are a liked gift. He loves strawberry shortcake, which can be purchased from Balor's cart or the Sleeping Dragon Inn.
Hayden, a neighboring farmer specializing in animal care, likes most animal byproducts like eggs, milk, butter, and cheese. He loves the perfect versions of these items, which can be more easily acquired through the "Currency of Care" ranching skill that yields golden animal products.
Juniper, the sorceress who runs the bathhouse, is drawn to mystical items. Red toadstools, dropped by mushroom enemies in the early mine floors, and monster powder are good starting gifts. Her loved items are more difficult to obtain, but moon fruit cake and crystal roses are highly cherished.
March, the town blacksmith, is easily pleased with ores and ingots, which players can gather from the mines. He loves perfect ores, such as perfect copper ore.
Reina, the inn owner's daughter and head chef, enjoys food-related items. Simple ingredients like cheese, flour, rice, and sugar are appreciated. She loves cabbage slaw and breaded catfish, both requiring recipes to craft.
Ryis, the carpenter who assists with farm construction, likes basic materials like wood, clay, and stone. He loves hardwood, obtained by chopping down large stumps with at least a copper axe, and golden versions of food and animal byproducts.
Valen, the town doctor, can be gifted seaweed, found by diving in the ocean, or dandelions foraged in spring. She loves deep sea soup, a dish made from jade dulse, mines mussels, and underseaweed, all found in the mid-levels of the mines.
Secret Romance Candidates
Two romance candidates are considered secret and require significant progression to unlock.
Caldarus, a magical dragon who assists on the farm, becomes available after completing a specific quest. He enjoys purchased inn foods like crab cakes and beet soup, as well as treats from the weekend market. His ultimate favorite is the statuette of Caldarus, found in artifact spots on the Eastern Road.
Seridia is an end-game character unlocked only after completing the entire mines storyline. She favors items found in the deepest parts of the mines, including void items and various monster drops. She particularly loves the unknown dragon statuette and dragon-forged items created during the mines quest.
