March is a romanceable blacksmith in Fields of Mistria, and his birthday is Spring 16. His relationship route follows the normal candidate structure, so earlier events must be completed before later milestones become available. Choose the romantic route at the eight heart event, continue to 10 hearts, and then use the Engagement Ring process to move toward marriage.
March at a glance
March's current Mistria Guide page identifies him as the village blacksmith and a romanceable character. Its profile lists him as human and names Olric as his brother. It also names Jade and Olin as his late parents without publishing a longer biography.
His current character page lists his birthday as Spring 16 and places him among the romanceable residents. The official 1.0 patch notes confirm a 10 heart relationship cap, proposal events, weddings, and marriage. The official FAQ says eligible candidates are available regardless of player gender, so any player can pursue his route.
A practical route through March's events
Relationship events need to be completed in order, so reaching a heart threshold alone may not immediately advance the story. Check mail and requests when a new milestone is reached, then follow the destination named by the active quest. If a later event does not appear, confirm that every earlier event has been completed before spending time searching for a new trigger.
The current Mistria Guide record identifies March's two heart event as Surprise Me and says his letter directs the player to the Blacksmith. His four heart event is Many Hands Make Light Work, with a letter from Olric directing the player to the forge by the Blacksmith. His six heart event is Shield of the Realm and begins with a letter from March, while the current page does not publish a destination for that letter.
At eight hearts, March's current guide requires progress beyond Mines level 60. Leaving the farmhouse the next day starts a scene with Olric outside, and the event uses the entire day before returning the player to the farm's northern entrance at midnight. The general romance guide confirms that each candidate's eight heart event provides the choice between the romantic route and the best friend route.

March's current Mistria Guide page publishes 10 loved gifts, 20 liked gifts, and one most hated gift. The names below come directly from the live page read on August 11, 2026. The page also lists Junk, Bugs, Archaeology, Flowers, Forageables, and Weird gifts as disliked item tags.

Spring 16 is March's confirmed birthday and gives players a fixed date to prepare for each year. His current character page states that birthday gifts receive 20 extra friendship points. It does not publish separate friendship point values for the loved and liked tiers, so this guide omits those per tier numbers.
How March's romance route works in version 1.0
Version 1.0 raised the relationship cap to 10 hearts and added proposal events, weddings, marriage, and optional children. For March, complete the earlier events, choose romance during the eight heart event, and continue the dating relationship until 10 hearts. Older Early Access guides that stop at six or eight hearts do not describe the full current route.
Players may date multiple candidates before confirming one engagement. The official 1.0 notes say every 10 heart proposal event can be viewed and every associated special item can be collected before the final choice. This lets a player see March's full proposal material without forcing an immediate decision about the other candidates.
Engagement changes the wider dating state, so it is the important commitment point. By default, other dating candidates convert to Best Friends and may send breakup letters after an engagement is confirmed. Version 1.0 provides settings related to those letters and visible status changes, and those settings should be reviewed before accepting a proposal route.
Engagement and marriage with March
After March reaches 10 hearts while dating, Elsie visits the farm the next morning with the Engagement Ring recipe. The official patch notes confirm the delivery and Forge unlock, while the current Mistria Guide marriage page says the ring materials require Mines level 90 progress. Neither of those current pages publishes the exact recipe quantities, so this guide intentionally omits an ingredient count.
Once the ring is ready, hold it while interacting with March and select Discuss to reach the proposal choice. A successful proposal opens wedding date selection, and the earliest available date is five days later. Before the ceremony, the couple can discuss flower colors, cake flavor, and the reception meal.
The wedding occupies the full day, while townspeople handle watering and animal care. March moves into the farmhouse afterward and follows a spouse schedule, and the current Mistria Guide marriage page records three spouse specific furniture pieces on the next day. That page also describes optional children after marriage and says the current game has no divorce mechanic.
What still needs confirmation
March's current character page lists Mistria Town, the Blacksmith Shop, March's Room, and the Sleeping Dragon Inn among his most frequent locations. It warns that season, weekday, weather, and story state can change the active route, and its schedule tool displays only the selected conditions. The character page publishes events through eight hearts, while the official patch notes confirm a 10 heart proposal event without supplying March's character specific trigger text.
The gift table now follows the current verified character record rather than the broken local extraction. March's local portrait is used in the character directory and romance cards. Character specific details absent from the verified record are described as limits instead of being filled from another candidate's route.
