How gifting works in Fields of Mistria
The collected guides describe gifts as a daily way to build hearts with villagers. You can talk with a character and give a gift, then use the response category to learn whether the item is Loved, Liked, Neutral, Disliked, Hated, or Banned. The guides also state that a birthday gift has a stronger effect, so checking the birthday before giving a valuable item is worthwhile.
This page summarizes the filtered research rather than inventing a new universal list. The source tables contain community-contributed entries, and some item names or categories differ between sources. When the sources do not agree, the result is To be confirmed.
Gift preference categories
Loved gifts are the strongest positive category described in the collected material. Liked gifts also improve a relationship, but are presented as a lower preference than Loved gifts. Neutral gifts are mentioned as a separate category, while Disliked and Hated gifts should be avoided when a better option is available.
The research also distinguishes Banned gifts. A Banned item should not be treated as merely disliked, because it belongs to a separate category in the source table. The exact effect of every category can vary with the game version, so this page does not publish unverified point values as permanent facts.
Universal gift patterns
The extracted tables repeatedly list Bugs, Junk, and Weird Gifts among disliked items for many villagers. These are patterns in the supplied data, not a guarantee that every villager reacts identically. The same material records exceptions, including villagers who like particular bugs or have different reactions to mushrooms and animal products.
The research also contains repeated lists of foods, flowers, ores, fish, shells, insects, and crafted items. Read these lists by character rather than as universal rules. An item that appears in one villager's Loved list may be only Liked, Neutral, or disliked for another villager.
Examples of character-specific preferences
The filtered source identifies Adeline's Loved list as including Coffee, Gazpacho, Lemon Pie, Middlemist, Mistril Ingot, Peaches and Cream, Perfect Pink Diamond, Plum Blossom, Pumpkin Pie, and Cup of Tea. Her Liked list includes Lemon, Paper, Peach, Snapdragon, Tulip, Vegetable Soup, White Wine, Wildberry Pie, and Wildberry Scone. The same entry lists Bugs, Junk, Mushrooms, and Weird Gifts as dislikes.
Balor's collected entry includes curries, jewelry, and perfect gems in the Loved category, including Apple Honey Curry, Chili Coconut Curry, Deluxe Curry, Family Crest Pendant, Perfect Diamond, Perfect Emerald, Perfect Pink Diamond, Perfect Ruby, and Perfect Sapphire. The source lists Cauliflower Curry, Chickpea Curry, Crystal Rose, Gold, and other gems among his Likes. His full category data should be checked in the research table because the source formatting is inconsistent.
Other entries show why a character-by-character lookup matters. Several villagers have flowers or prepared foods in their Loved lists, while others prefer ores, fish, insects, animal products, or crafted items. Some characters explicitly dislike broad groups such as Bugs, Fish, Flowers, Forageables, Animal Products, or Citrus-Based Dishes, but these group rules have exceptions in the supplied data.
Birthday gifts
The gift sources agree that birthdays make gifts more valuable for friendship. One collected table gives separate daily and birthday values for Loved, Liked, and Disliked gifts, but the research does not establish a fixed version or official confirmation date for those numbers. The numeric values are therefore To be confirmed on this site.
The practical rule supported by the sources is simple: check the birthday list on the Characters page, choose an item that the character Loves or Likes, and avoid using a rare item until the preference has been confirmed. If the item appears in only one community list, treat it as To be confirmed.
Elsie's gossip
The Gamespot material says Elsie can provide gossip about gifts. The source describes this as a daily way to learn one Loved or Liked gift, and it also mentions unique dialogue for some strong positive or negative gifts. This makes Elsie's gossip a useful in-game verification method when a table has conflicting entries.
Do not treat a single gossip result as proof that an item is universally liked. It identifies a preference for a character, while the supplied tables show that preferences are character-specific. Record the character and item together when checking a gift.
Gifts connected to dates
The character source links some date activities to item pools. An Inn Meal Date can include prepared meals such as Fried Rice, Seafood Snow Pea Noodles, Mushroom Steak Dinner, Perch Risotto, and Vegetable Pot Pie. A Deep Woods Picnic Date can include desserts such as Cherry Tart, Lemon Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Wildberry Pie, and Wintergreen Ice Cream.
These are date activity or reward lists in the source, not universal Loved-gift lists. The research also mentions beach shells and gem-cutting items as separate date inspiration or reward categories. Their exact availability and reward rules are To be confirmed.
What this guide does not claim
This page does not claim that every listed item is currently correct for every character. It does not add missing characters, infer romance eligibility, or create gift values from memory. Complete per-character tables, exact friendship points, Hated and Banned behavior, and version-specific changes remain To be confirmed where the collected sources do not provide a consistent answer.
Advertising blocks, navigation elements, contribution prompts, related tags, comments, and sign-in text were removed from the supplied research. The remaining information was merged only where the source material explicitly supported it.
