Fields of Mistria Gift Guide Caldarus: Loved Items
Direct answer
Caldarus becomes giftable after the Breaking the Fire Seal story progression and his move into the Deep Woods route. His strongest captured gift tier favors cooked dishes such as Apple Honey Curry, Fried Rice, Harvest Plate, Spring Galette, Sushi Platter, and Veggie Sub Sandwich. Avoid Dragon's Claw, Dragon's Scale, and especially Unknown Dragon Statuette, which the structured source marks as hated. [S1][S2][V1]

Detailed guide
Unlock gifting first
The collected sources tie Caldarus's gift access to the Breaking the Fire Seal quest. The older guide places the Fire Seal at mine level 60 and describes a seal offering and story sequence before Caldarus settles into his later route. The current quest page confirms that this progression opens Deep Woods access and advances his relationship path. [S2][V1]
Dragon's Breath clears the thorn barrier north of the Eastern Road according to the guide, allowing entry to the Deep Woods. Caldarus is associated with a northeastern shrine area, and the guide says a large stump can affect the route while he recovers. Exact daily hours are not present, so this page does not invent a schedule. [S2]
Complete captured loved list
The structured loved list is Apple Honey Curry, Fried Rice, Harvest Plate, Mont Blanc, Seafood Boil, Seafood Snow Pea Noodles, Spring Galette, Statuette of Caldarus, Sushi Platter, and Veggie Sub Sandwich. These are the clearest high-tier gift targets in the collected material. Several are cooked dishes, but the source does not say that every cooked dish is loved. [S1]
The older guide agrees with the overall food preference and repeats several of the same named choices. It says favored dishes may be cooked or can sometimes appear at the Inn, Balor's Wagon, or Darcy's Saturday Market stall. Those vendor mentions are possible acquisition routes rather than guaranteed daily stock. [S1][S2]
Complete captured liked list
The liked list contains Beet Soup, Breath of Flame, Chili Coconut Curry, Chocolate Cake, Crab Cakes, Fish Tacos, Golden Cheesecake, Golden Cookies, Ice Cream Sundae, Incredibly Hot Pot, Lobster Roll, Marigold, Mushroom Steak Dinner, Perch Risotto, Pumpkin Pie, Sea Bream Rice, Spell Fruit Parfait, Spirit Mushroom Tea, Vegetable Pot Pie, and Vegetable Quiche. The page preserves exact item names without assigning uncaptured prices. This is a readable source-backed list, not a claim that every other item is disliked. [S1]
A liked item gives the player more flexibility when a loved recipe is unavailable or too expensive to use repeatedly. Marigold and Breath of Flame also show that the tier is not limited to meals. Do not extend the list to visually similar flowers, flame items, or foods unless the current profile confirms them. [S1]
Dragon-themed gifts to avoid
Dragon's Claw and Dragon's Scale are listed as disliked in the structured gift material. Unknown Dragon Statuette is listed as hated, while Statuette of Caldarus belongs in the loved tier. These closely related names make exact item identification essential before pressing the gift action. [S1][S2]
The structured source also treats Junk, Bugs, and Weird Gift categories cautiously for Caldarus. The older guide contains some flattened or speculative wording around a Dragon's Scale reaction, but the current-style table provides the stronger direct warning. No additional dragon object is classified here without a readable source row. [S1][S2]
Starting hearts and version caveat
One captured guide describes Caldarus as starting with six hearts, while other material says starting affection can reflect main-story progress. That number is version-sensitive and may not describe every current save state. The dependable action is to complete the quest, then read the relationship profile rather than forcing one fixed starting value into the guide. [S2]
The official version 1.0 announcement confirms marriage and children as current systems, so Caldarus should not be described only as a future candidate. It does not provide a Caldarus-specific heart table or gift database. This page uses the official source for relationship context and the item source for exact gift tiers. [S1][V2]
Efficient gift planning
Choose a loved dish you can produce or obtain reliably, then keep one liked fallback for days when ingredients or vendor stock do not cooperate. Verify that the character is in the giftable human-form state after the Fire Seal route before planning a daily routine. Keep one correctly named statuette separate from the Unknown Dragon Statuette to avoid a severe tier mistake. [S1][S2]
The collected sources do not provide a controlled ranking of recipe cost, cooking time, or relationship gain per Tessera. They also do not guarantee that any meal is stocked every day at the Inn, wagon, or market. A route can be practical without pretending that variable shops and progression-gated recipes are fixed. [S1][S2]
What this guide does not claim
This page does not publish a current complete recipe-and-price table because the older guide's rows were flattened and shop stock can change. It does not state a fixed starting heart count because story progression and version framing differ between captures. It does not infer reactions for unlisted Dragon Parts, foods, or special objects. [S1][S2]
The safe information is the unlock route, Deep Woods context, readable loved and liked lists, and named dislikes. Future patches may still change preferences or acquisition sources, so the current game profile should resolve any conflict. Unknown details remain Pending verification (待确认) instead of being completed from theme or memory. [S1][S2][V1][V2]
Conditions and exceptions
Version, conditions & exceptions
