March Gifts in Fields of Mistria
March's best gifts are metals and ores — Gold Ingots, Mistril Ingots, and Perfect Iron Ore — plus a Sushi Platter. The blacksmith loves anything from the forge, and sushi is his one culinary weakness.
March gifts revolve around one simple truth: the town blacksmith loves metal. March is the blacksmith of Mistria, and the fastest way to his heart is through the forge — give him ores, ingots, and the occasional Sushi Platter and his friendship climbs fast. This March gifts guide lists every loved and liked gift, where to find each one, and the best gifts for March so you never waste a day. Because so many March gifts come straight from mining and blacksmithing, you can stockpile them while you play normally.
What Are March’s Loved Gifts?
March’s loved gifts give the biggest friendship boost, which makes them the best gifts for March when you want hearts quickly. His loved list is built around metal and a single cooked dish: a Gold Ingot, a Mistril Ingot, a Meteorite, the Dragon-Forged Bracelet, Perfect Iron Ore (and the other perfect ores), and a Sushi Platter all count as March loved gifts. The pattern is clear — he loves anything that comes from the forge or the mines, and sushi is his one culinary weakness. Because most March gifts are ores and ingots, a single productive mining trip can set you up with loved gifts for weeks. The full table below lists every loved item with its source.
March Liked Gifts
When you are short on a loved gift, his liked gifts still raise friendship at a steady rate. March likes Coffee, Chocolate Cake, Copper Ore, Iron Ore, a Sesame Tuna Bowl, and Spicy Crab Sushi — and broadly he likes all cooked dishes and all ores, so almost anything from your kitchen or your pickaxe lands as a liked gift. These are easy to keep on hand, so you can give him something every day without burning through rare ingots. The complete liked list lives in the gifts table below.
How to Get March Gifts (Mining & Blacksmithing)
Unlike Caldarus, March is a normal villager, so you can give him gifts from the start — no story unlock required. Most March gifts come from two sources: mining and blacksmithing. Smelt ores into ingots at the forge, mine for perfect ores deep underground, and cook the occasional Sushi Platter when you want a loved gift that is not metal. If you are already mining and smithing to upgrade your tools, you are passively producing March gifts the entire time.
The Best Gifts for March
If you want a shortlist, the best gifts for March are the ones you can produce in volume. Iron Ore and Copper Ore are reliable liked options early on, while a Gold Ingot or Mistril Ingot is a powerful loved gift once your smithing is steady. Save rare finds like the Meteorite and the Dragon-Forged Bracelet for his birthday or a heart-event push. Pair these best March gifts with daily conversation and his hearts climb quickly.
Where to Get March’s Favorite Gifts
Most March gifts come from the ground, so the real question is where to mine. Ores like Copper, Iron, and the perfect variants come from the Mines, with better metals appearing on deeper floors. Ingots are produced at the forge by smelting ore. The Meteorite and Dragon-Forged Bracelet are archaeology finds, so they are rare — keep them for special occasions. The Sushi Platter, his lone loved dish, comes from cooking with fish and rice. Once your mining routine is steady, gifts for the blacksmith practically make themselves. Upgrading your pickaxe at the forge lets you crack the tougher rocks on lower floors, where better ores and perfect-grade metals spawn — so the further you mine, the better the March gifts you pull from the ground.
March Birthday Gift (Spring 16)
March’s birthday is Spring 16. Giving him a gift on his birthday multiplies the friendship gain, so always reserve a loved gift — a Gold Ingot, Mistril Ingot, or Sushi Platter — for Spring 16. A birthday loved gift is worth far more than an ordinary day’s giving, and it can save you a full week of normal gifting. Mark Spring 16 on your calendar so you never miss the bonus.
