While you can forge friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you have the option to pursue romance with 11 different characters, including the intriguing Caldarus.

Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills based on your interactions. To build a romantic connection, engage with them regularly and pay close attention to their preferences. Start by **talking to them daily**—a simple chat can significantly boost your relationship. Additionally, complete any requests they post on the town board, as this provides more opportunities to increase their heart gauge.

You can also **give them a gift once per day**, ideally something they love or like. These items vary by character and can be gathered or crafted. On their birthday, make sure to gift them an item they love for an extra boost to their heart gauge. Consistent effort in these areas will quickly elevate their affection towards you.

Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. After achieving six hearts, a cutscene will hint at budding feelings, but it's not a full romance yet. 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 room to grow.
