March Gifts Fields of Mistria: What He Loves

March is the grumpy blacksmith of Mistria, and the fastest way into his heart is a shiny piece of ore or metal from the mines. He keeps the forge running on the east side of town, and he is one of the easier marriage candidates to please once you learn his simple taste. This guide collects every March loved gift in Fields of Mistria, the cheapest one to farm in bulk, and a complete plan for his Spring 16 birthday. If you are just starting to collect presents for the whole town, begin with our main gift guide to see the wider system first, and remember that his favorites are also the most common drops in the early mines.

Who Is March

March runs Mistria’s forge and serves as the village blacksmith, known for his short temper and grumpy attitude toward nearly everyone except his work and his hammer. He is one of the marriage candidates, which means raising his heart level through daily gifts can lead to dates, romance events, and eventually a wedding. His birthday falls on Spring 16, so his first birthday in a new save arrives during your very first season, making him a great early target for friendship. Expect him to appreciate practical, metal-working gifts far more than flowers, food, or fancy forage from the fields.

March’s Full Loved Gift List

March loves ten specific items, and the theme is unmistakable: ore, metal, and dragon-forged treasure, with only one cooked dish breaking the pattern. Every Perfect Ore counts, along with the two crafted ingots, a couple of rare archaeology artifacts, and a single Sushi Platter.

Loved Gift	How to Get
Perfect Copper Ore	Mine floors 1-20 (Upper Mines)
Perfect Iron Ore	Iron nodes in The Tide Caverns
Perfect Silver Ore	Silver nodes in The Deep Earth
Perfect Gold Ore	Gold nodes in The Lava Caves
Perfect Mistril Ore	Mistril nodes in The Ancient Ruins
Gold Ingot	Smelt 10 Gold Ore at the forge
Mistril Ingot	Smelt 10 Mistril Ore at the forge
Meteorite	Archaeology (legendary artifact)
Dragon-Forged Bracelet	Archaeology (Ruins artifact)
Sushi Platter	Cook Tuna, Salmon, Mackerel, Rice, Seaweed, Soy Sauce

March’s taste is simple: if it is ore, ingot, or forged by dragon fire, he loves it, and for daily gifting you can ignore everything except the Perfect Ores. The two artifacts, Meteorite and Dragon-Forged Bracelet, are rare finds better saved for a special day than spent on a normal morning, while Sushi Platter is his only Loved food.

The Cheapest Loved Gift: Perfect Copper Ore

Of all March’s loved gifts, Perfect Copper Ore is by far the easiest to stock up on, because copper nodes appear in the upper floors of the Mines roughly between floors 1 and 20. Perfect Copper Ore drops from those nodes while you are already farming copper for tools, upgrades, and building projects, so you will naturally collect a pile of it early in the game. That makes March trivially easy to please from week one, since a single mining trip can yield several days’ worth of gifts for him. If you are spending time in the Mines anyway, this gift costs you nothing extra, so there is never any reason to buy anything for him.

March’s Birthday (Spring 16)

March’s birthday is Spring 16, which lands during your very first season of the game, so prepare before the date arrives. Give him a Perfect Copper Ore that day for 40 points, the biggest friendship jump you can get from a single gift that early in a run. Combine that with the +7 points from talking to him, and you can build several hearts before the end of spring with almost no effort. Stock up on a week’s worth of Perfect Copper Ore before the 16th so you never miss a single daily gift window leading up to the big day.

Other Things You Can Give

Aside from his loved gifts, March has a clear set of items he can tolerate and items he rejects outright, which is worth knowing when your ore runs dry. He likes most cooked food and common materials, so a plain dish from the inn is a safe fallback that still earns a small number of points. He dislikes all flowers, most artifacts, and nearly every forageable you can pick up, including Crystal Rose and most wild crops, so sell those instead of handing them over. If you are chasing the full romance route, our marriage candidates guide explains what his high hearts unlock, and the March character page covers his schedule and favorite spots around town.
