In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is key to growing your agricultural empire. Whether you're looking to cultivate more crops or accommodate additional animals, the farm expansion feature introduced in the game's v0.13.0 update is your solution. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion significantly increases your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right, offering new land for additional structures and crop spaces. To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter's Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but it comes with some prerequisites.
First, you need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, to gather the necessary materials, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which itself requires Town Rank 55. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring a coordinated effort to expand your farm.
Once you meet these initial conditions, your next step is to gather all the materials needed 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' to view the requirements. You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. Accumulate this currency through farming, mining, fishing, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish whenever you can, and contribute new items to the Museum to maximize your earnings.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which requires repairing the Stone Refinery. Remember, you need Town Rank 55 to unlock this quest, and you must first repair the Inn.
Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, chop the large tree stumps on your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can obtain Hard Wood from **Balor's Cart** on specific days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you've gathered all the required materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop to purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for easy access.
