Fields of Mistria romance and best gifts list

Adeline is effectively the one in charge of Mistria, being the daughter of the barons of the town. She’s the one who sends you tasks to help restore the town.

Early in the game, you can give her tulips (spring) and peaches (summer), to boost your relationship with her. You can forage tulips around the map and peaches grow on a tree in The Narrows.

She loves peaches and cream, which is made from peaches (foraged during summer), milk, and sugar. (Her brother, Eiland, also likes peaches and cream, so stocking up on them would help for both of them!) She also loves coffee, which you can buy from Balor’s cart or the Sleeping Dragon’s Inn for 100 Tesserae, depending on their stock for the day. You can also buy it from Darcy during the Saturday Market.

Balor is a cunning traveling merchant who helps you ship out your items.

Early on, you can give Balor rubies, which are found in the early floors of the mines (floors 1-19). He also likes sapphires, and emeralds, the other gems found in later floors.

For a slightly more advanced gift, he also loves perfect versions of the above gemstones, like perfect rubies, perfect sapphires, and the like.

Celine is a gentle girl who studies plants and loves nature. Sh’’s also the daughter of the general store owners.

Celine likes flowers, making her one of the easiest characters to build a relationship with. She likes every flower you can forage, including lilacs, tulips, dandelions, and daisies — which you should find tons of in spring and summer.

She loves hydrangeas, which grow commonly during the summer on the Eastern Road map, east of Mistria.

Eiland is the son of the town’s barons, and he’s more focused on archaeology than his sister. He’s often helping out at the museum.

Unfortunately, Eiland is one of the harder marriage candidates to sway as he really only likes and loves cooked foods. He likes candied strawberries, which you can cook using strawberries (grown in the spring) and sugar. You can also buy them from Balor’s cart randomly for 250 Tesserae.

Eiland loves strawberry shortcake, which doesn’t unlock as a recipe until quite a bit later, but you can buy it from Balor’s cart and the Sleeping Dragon Inn randomly for 600 Tesserae each.

Hayden is your neighbor to the west of your farm who also owns a farm. He specializes in animal care and you’ll buy animals through him.

All that said, Hayden likes most animal byproducts, including eggs, cow milk, butter, and cheese — all items you can get pretty early on if you start ranching animals.

Hayden loves the perfect versions of the above products, meaning that giving him gifts that he loves is a little bit harder, but once your animals start producing things like golden eggs and golden cow milk, you should be able to win over his heart easily. Once you start collecting shiny beads from caring for animals (unlocked with the “Currency of Care” ranching skill), you can trade these beads to the chicken statue by Hayden’s house for a chance to get these golden items, which will help you get them much earlier than you would normally.

Juniper is a sorceress who runs the bathhouse in Mistria. She also helps you figure out some of the mysteries behind the town’s magic (or lack thereof).

She likes witchy things, like frogs and mushrooms. The easiest things to give to her are red toadstools, which can be obtained from killing the red mushroom enemies on the early floors of the mines (floors 1-19). She also likes monster powder, which also drop from mine enemies.

On the flip side, Juniper’s loved items are a bit harder. The earliest recipe that you can cook for her that she loves is moon fruit cake, which unlocks after you complete a request for Juniper in which she asks for moon fruit. Moon fruit is only foraged during fall, so stock up while you can. She also loves crystal roses, which are a foragable found in the deep earth section of the mines (floors 41-59).

March is a bit of a grumpy pants, and he’s the town’s blacksmith. You’ll see him and his older brother frequently around town.

He’s yet another marriage candidate that is pretty simple to appease to — he likes ores and ingots, which you should have plenty of if you’ve been in the mines. Any of the ores and ingots will work.

He loves perfect ores, like perfect copper ore, so if you have extra, you can use those, too.

Reina is the daughter of the inn owner, and she helps her family run said inn. She’s the head chef at the inn, and she’s a bit of a foodie.

Most of her likes involve food, but she does appreciate some of the more simple ingredients, like cheese, flour, rice, and sugar. That being said, you’ll need the mill unlocked to process milk, wheat, rice stalks, and sugar cane, respectively — or you can buy sugar for 115 Tesserae from the general store.

Reina is yet another candidate that mainly takes interest in food, so her loved items can be hard to obtain. The earliest recipe that you can get is cabbage slaw, which requires cabbage (grown in spring) and fennel (foraged in spring). She also loves breaded catfish, which isn’t too bad to make once you unlock the recipe via the notice board quest.

Ryis is a carpenter/woodworker who helps you build barns, expand your house, and any of that good stuff.

His liked items are pretty simple and easy to obtain: wood, clay, and stone. If you’ve cleared out the debris on your farm even a little bit, you probably have lots of this stuff, so you should consider giving some to Ryis if you want to win his heart over.

Most of Ryis’ loved items are golden versions of food and animal byproducts, but he also loves hard wood, which you can get from axing those huge stumps you see around Mistria (and on your farm). You will need at least a copper axe to cut these, though.

Valen is the town doctor, who you actually won’t see very often as long as you’re playing it safe and going to bed by 2 a.m.

She’s a bit harder to appease with her liked items. The easiest thing to give her is seaweed, which can be found by diving in the ocean on those dark bubbling spots that show up. She also likes dandelions, which can be foraged during the spring.

Just like some of the others, her loved items are mostly cooked dishes. We recommend deep sea soup, which is made from three items you can find on the middling floors of the mines (floors 21-39): jade dulse, mines mussels, and underseaweed.

Caldarus is the magical dragon being that helps you around the farm. He is only unlockable as a romance candidate after completing a specific quest.

Caldarus is not an early-game candidate at all (given that you have to do quite a bit to unlock him to begin with), but he likes a few foods you can buy at The Inn, like crab cakes and beet soup. You can also buy him treats from Darcy’s Stall (during the weekend market) like chocolate cake and ice cream sundaes.

He loves the statuette of Caldarus, which you can dig up from artifact spots in The Eastern Road. If your inn is upgraded, you can buy him seafood boils and seafood snow pea noodles as well, which he loves.

Seridia is an extremely end-game encounter — meaning that you won’t be able to unlock her until you completely finish the mines storyline.

She likes most of the things you can find in the bottom area of the mines, including the four void items (void powder, void pearl, void stone, and void herbs), as well as monster drops you can get from the rest of the mines, like monster fangs, monster shells, and monster powder.

As for things she loves, she loves the unknown dragon statuette, as well as the dragon-forged items you made during the mines quest.
