Everything about Merri in Fields of Mistria: her birthday, loved and liked gifts, her Saturday Market furniture stall, and how to befriend the market vendor.
Fields of Mistria Merri Guide — Birthday, Gifts & Market Stall
Merri is one of the traveling vendors who visits Mistria for the Saturday Market — she sells furniture, which makes her a quiet pillar of the decorating side of the game. She's not a marriage candidate, but her gifts and her request for a watermelon tell you a lot about her: she's crafty, material-minded, and deeply attached to her horse. Her birthday is Fall 6.
This guide covers who she is, her gift tastes, and how to catch her. For the wider cast, see the characters guide.
Who Is Merri?
- Role: furniture vendor at the Saturday Market — the weekly market that opens after the "Repair the Bridge" story quest (see the calendar guide for the market schedule).
- Her horse: Merri owns a horse named Swiftwind, who competes in the Animal Festival as a contestant — the animals guide covers the festival and ranch animals.
- Personality: from her dialogue and requests, she's practical and a little excitable about quality materials — her loved-gift reactions talk about refurbishing projects "better than new."
- Market status: she's one of the rotating Saturday vendors alongside Louis, Stillwell, Darcy, Vera, Taliferro, and Wheedle.
Official source: the wiki.gg Merri page lists her as a Saturday Market furniture vendor and documents the Swiftwind connection via her watermelon request.
Merri's Birthday & Best Gifts
Merri's birthday is Fall 6. Since she only appears in town on Saturdays, check the calendar — if Fall 6 falls on a market day you're in luck; otherwise find her before or after her visit. Birthday gifts are worth double hearts and skip the weekly cap.
Her loved gifts are golden animal products plus two diamonds:
- Perfect Diamond and Perfect Pink Diamond — rare gems from the mines (Lava Caves and Ancient Ruins)
- Golden Alpaca Wool, Golden Sheep Wool, Golden Rabbit Wool, Golden Rooster Feather, Golden Duck Feather, Golden Horse Hair, Golden Bristle, Golden Bull Horn — the gold-quality animal products (see the animals guide for how golden drops work)
Her liked gifts are the everyday versions of the same materials — Alpaca Wool, Bristle, Bull Horn, Duck Feather, Horse Hair, Rabbit Wool, Rooster Feather, Sheep Wool — plus crafting staples: Glass, Hardwood, Clay, Stone, Coral, Crystal, Diamond, Obsidian, Pink Diamond, Latte, and Coffee.
Merri's liked list is loaded with building materials — glass, hardwood, clay, stone. If you have a surplus from the farm layout guide projects, it's already a gift.
Merri's hated gift is the Snail — one of the few bugs she can't stand. Everything else on the bug list is disliked too, so don't gift her insects at all.
Where to Find Merri
- Saturday Market only: she sets up her furniture stall every market day in town (after the bridge repair quest).
- Outside market hours: she's a traveler, so she won't be in Mistria the rest of the week — plan your gifts for Saturdays or her birthday.
- Festivals: like the other vendors she can appear at festival stalls — the festivals guide lists which vendors run which booths.
Because she's only in town one day a week, the efficient play is to keep a small stockpile of her liked materials and clear her gift slots every Saturday — two liked gifts a week plus her birthday completes her friendship in about two seasons.
Befriending Merri
Merri is friendship-only — no romance, no heart quests beyond the standard requests. What friendship with her does give you:
- Cheaper/better furniture stock as your relationship grows (shopkeepers expand stock with hearts).
- Requests: her watermelon request is a notable one and pays a good friendship chunk.
- Festival flavor: Swiftwind at the Animal Festival and her market banter make her one of the more charming background relationships in town.
