Fields of Mistria Engagement Ring & Marriage Guide

Quick answer

Marriage is fully available in Fields of Mistria 1.0.

To begin the proposal path, reach 10 Hearts with a character you are dating. NPC Studio says Elsie delivers the Engagement Ring recipe the following morning. Use the recipe scroll, craft the ring at a Forge, and use it when you are ready to progress from the 10-heart proposal content into engagement.

You do not have to propose immediately. The official 1.0 notes say 10-heart events can be retriggered with the Engagement Ring until you decide to become engaged.

How do you get the Engagement Ring?

The official unlock sequence is:

1. Date an eligible romance character.
2. Raise that character to 10 Hearts.
3. Wait until the following morning.
4. Receive the Engagement Ring recipe from Elsie.
5. Use the recipe scroll to learn it.
6. Craft the Engagement Ring at a Forge.
7. Use the ring when you are ready to propose.

The selected first-party patch notes do not publish a complete material list for the ring, so this guide does not invent recipe costs.

What are 10-heart proposal events?

Version 1.0 raised the NPC heart cap to 10 and added 10-heart proposal events for romanceable characters.

NPC Studio says you can retrigger 10-heart events with the Engagement Ring until you actually choose to propose and become engaged. This makes it possible to see the new relationship content before making the final spouse decision.

Can you see every 10-heart event before choosing a spouse?

Yes.

The official notes say it is possible to view all of the 10-heart events and collect the associated special items before deciding to proceed with a proposal.

What can you customize for the wedding?

Wedding planning includes confirmed choices such as:

• flower color;
• cake flavor;
• the meal served at the reception.

Version 1.0 also added wedding events, wedding outfits, engagement dialogue, post-marriage dialogue, and new spouse routines.

Are there wedding-date restrictions in version 1.0.3?

Yes.

Fields of Mistria v1.0.3 prevents three festival setup days from being selected as wedding days:

• Spring 14
• Fall 7
• Winter 7

NPC Studio notes that selecting those dates under earlier behavior could interfere with the Spring and Harvest festivals.

What happens to other people you were dating?

By default, other dating relationships change from Dating to Best Friends after engagement.

Version 1.0 adds a gameplay setting that can disable that status change. The option becomes available through the engagement tutorial cutscene and must be enabled before confirming the engagement if you want it to take effect.

What changes after marriage?

Version 1.0 adds:

• post-marriage dialogue;
• post-marriage NPC routines;
• the ability to kiss a character you are dating, engaged to, or married to;
• family-planning content for players who want children.

For that system, see the Fields of Mistria children guide.

What should returning Early Access players know?

Older Early Access guides may say marriage is unavailable or stop relationship progression before 10 Hearts. Those details are outdated for the 1.0 release line.
