While you can forge friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is a special journey reserved for a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you can choose to pursue romance with one of 11 different NPCs, including the enigmatic Caldarus.

Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that increases based on your interactions. To kindle a romance, engage with them frequently and pay close attention to their preferences. Start by **talking to them daily**; a simple chat while you're busy around town can significantly boost your relationship. Additionally, fulfill their requests posted on the town board, as this not only helps them but also increases their affection towards you.

A key strategy is to **gift them an item they like or love once per day**. These items are unique to each character and can be either gathered or crafted. On their birthday, ensure you gift them something they absolutely love to maximize the impact on their heart meter. Consistent interaction and thoughtful gifting will see their heart gauge rise quickly.

Currently, NPC heart gauges can reach up to **six hearts**. At this level, a cutscene will play hinting at a budding romance, though not fully developed yet. According to the game’s roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, as well as options for marriage and children, ensuring your romantic journey with Juniper has plenty of room to grow.
