In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as you progress and need more space for crops and animals. The game's v0.13.0 update introduced a farm expansion feature that significantly increases your farm's size. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build this expansion, ensuring you can maximize your farm's potential.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion extends your farm across the river to the right, providing additional land for structures and crop spaces. To purchase this expansion, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can buy it as early as your first year, but there are significant prerequisites.
First, you must help the town reach **Rank 55** by earning enough Renown points. Additionally, you need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest to acquire necessary materials, which also requires Town Rank 55. These requirements are interconnected, so plan your progress accordingly.
Once you meet these initial criteria, you'll need to gather all the required materials for the expansion. Be prepared for a substantial investment of time and resources.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
Visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the shop’s main menu, select ‘Farm Expansion’ at the bottom to view the requirements.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulate this amount through gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish, and contribute new items to the Museum to boost your earnings.
Next, you'll require **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which you can only do after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn.
Finally, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, yielding 2 x Hard Wood each. Alternatively, purchase it from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or earn it by contributing items to the Museum.
Once you have all the materials and funds ready, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for easy access.
That's how you can build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides on the game, including crafting Essence Stones, be sure to explore our other content.
