March's loved gifts in Fields of Mistria are mining and smithing trophies: Gold Ingot, Mistril Ingot, Perfect Copper Ore, Perfect Iron Ore, Perfect Silver Ore, Perfect Gold Ore, Perfect Mistril Ore, Meteorite, Dragon-Forged Bracelet, and the Sushi Platter. The easy route is buying a Gold Ingot from Balor's Wagon for 600 Tesserae; the proud route is mining the Perfect Ores yourself. His birthday is Spring 16, and the one gift he hates is the Redhead Worm.

Quick Answer: March's Best Gifts

A Gold Ingot is the most reliable loved gift — Balor's Wagon sells it for 600 Tesserae, or you can smelt 10 Gold Ore at the blacksmith station yourself. Any Perfect Ore is equally loved, and miners hit copper nodes for those as early as The Upper Mines. The Sushi Platter (1,000 Tesserae at Balor's Wagon) is the lone food item in the loved tier. The exact heart-point difference between loved and liked gifts is 待确认.

March Loved Gifts (Full List)

Every confirmed loved gift for March, with where to find it:

  • Gold Ingot — blacksmith 10 Gold Ore, or buy at Balor's Wagon for 600 Tesserae
  • Mistril Ingot — blacksmith 10 Mistril Ore
  • Perfect Copper Ore — mine copper nodes in The Upper Mines
  • Perfect Iron Ore — mine iron nodes in The Tide Caverns
  • Perfect Silver Ore — mine silver nodes in The Deep Earth
  • Perfect Gold Ore — mine gold nodes in The Lava Caves
  • Perfect Mistril Ore — mine mistril nodes in The Ancient Ruins
  • Meteorite — legendary archaeology artifact
  • Dragon-Forged Bracelet — rare archaeology artifact from The Ruins
  • Sushi Platter — cook with Tuna, Salmon, Mackerel, Rice, Seaweed, and Soy Sauce, or buy at Balor's Wagon for 1,000 Tesserae

Perfect Ores are the "too magnificent to melt down" display pieces that occasionally drop from high-tier ore nodes. Since March inherited the forge from a long line of master craftspeople, metal is his love language.

Where to Mine Each Perfect Ore

Each Perfect Ore ties to one biome, so plan mining trips around the gift list. The Upper Mines yields Perfect Copper Ore, The Tide Caverns has iron, The Deep Earth carries silver, The Lava Caves hold gold, and The Ancient Ruins contain mistril. Regular ore for the liked-tier ingots drops from the same biomes — Copperclods and blue stalagmites above, Ironclods in The Tide Caverns, Silverclods and green stalagmites in The Deep Earth, and Goldclods in The Lava Caves. Meteorite and the Dragon-Forged Bracelet skip mining entirely — both come from archaeology, and both are absolute trophy gifts for a blacksmith.

March Liked Gifts

March's liked list of 20 items splits between the forge and the dinner table:

  • Metals: Copper Ore (blacksmith buys at 50 Tesserae), Iron Ore (50), Silver Ore (100), Gold Ore (100), Mistril Ore (blacksmith, 400), plus Copper Ingot (Balor's Wagon, 250), Iron Ingot (300), Silver Ingot (500), and Gold Ingot (600)
  • Drinks and sweets: Beer (The Inn, 100 Tesserae), Coffee (Darcy's Stall or Balor's Wagon, 100), Mocha (Darcy's Stall, 275), Hot Chocolate (Darcy's Stall, 320), Chocolate (General Store or Balor's Wagon, 200), Chocolate Cake (Darcy's Stall, 650)
  • Fish dishes: Red Snapper Sushi (Balor's Wagon or The Inn, 250), Sesame Tuna Bowl (Golden Treasure Box), Spicy Crab Sushi (The Lava Caves with Dungeon Delicacies), Sea Bream Rice, Perch Risotto, Grilled Eel Rice Bowl

Plain ores are nice filler gifts straight from the mines with no extra cost. The fish dishes track with his own words — he respects the skill behind sashimi, not just the taste. If you cook, Mocha is just Coffee, Milk, and Chocolate, and Hot Chocolate adds 2 Wintergreen Berries to a base of Chocolate, Milk, and Sugar. Anything unlisted counts as neutral and gets a simple "Thanks."

Where to Find March

March lives and works at the Blacksmiths adjoining his brother Olric's room, so that is the natural place to catch him. His Year 1 Spring schedule (day 5) runs: Bathhouse from 9am to 11am, the Blacksmiths from 11:30am to 5:30pm, then The Inn from 6pm to midnight. Evenings at the Inn are therefore a dependable gifting window.

Birthday and Gifting Tips

March's birthday is Spring 16, early enough that a first-year Gold Ingot or Perfect Copper Ore is a realistic target. His birthday reactions soften as you grow closer, from suspicious ("Did Olric put you up to this?") to a warm "Thank you, [Player]" once you're dating. The gift-per-day or per-week limit is 待确认, so hold the Meteorite-class items for the big day.

March Gift FAQ

Why does March hate the Redhead Worm? It's his only hated item — "A Redheaded... Worm? What exactly are you trying to say here?" The bug net catch is an uncommon worm found by breaking rocks outside of winter.

What's a good early-game gift? Copper Ore straight from The Upper Mines, or a 100-Tesserae Beer or Coffee — all liked.

What should I cook for March? The Sushi Platter is loved; Red Snapper Sushi, Sesame Tuna Bowl, and Spicy Crab Sushi are liked.

Does March ever give gifts? His own source table lists Iron Ingots (4) as a birthday gift he hands out, so the blacksmith pays it forward.

When is March's birthday? Spring 16 — early enough in year one that copper-tier gifts from The Upper Mines are a realistic target.

March's 8-Heart Event (Spoiler)

At 8 hearts, Olric visits your farm looking for March, who vanished after hearing that Baron Wiscar was awarded the Gold Dragon Crest — a piece last crafted by March and Olric's late mother. You find March injured deep in the mines, share what food he's scavenged, and he finally opens up about his parents, Jade and Olin. Before you climb out, you can choose to stay best friends or confess your feelings.

Gifts March Dislikes and Hates

March dislikes all universal dislikes plus every flower, forageable, and most artifacts — a hard rule with the three exceptions above. So no bouquets, no wild snacks, no museum duplicates. He hates exactly one item, the Redhead Worm, and the universal-dislike rule makes one strange exception for that worm, and not in your favor.

About March

March is Mistria's blacksmith, running the forge he inherited from a long family line of master craftspeople, and living next door to it with his older brother Olric. He and Olric lost their parents young — Olin and Jade sailed west on a shipment and never returned. He comes across as cold, stubborn, and competitive, described in-game as "an award-winning blacksmith with a chip on his shoulder," but warms up considerably through his heart events. His room is adorned with trophies of his accomplishments, and his dyed red hair matches the fiery personality. He is listed as single and is one of the game's bachelors.
