In *Fields of Mistria*, as your farm grows, you'll soon find the need for more space to accommodate your expanding crops and animals. Fortunately, the game's v0.13.0 update introduced a Farm Expansion feature, allowing you to significantly increase your farm's area. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and building your farm expansion.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion extends your farm's width across the river to the right, providing a new plot of land where you can build 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 there are significant prerequisites to meet.
First, you need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by earning enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest** to gather some of the necessary materials. Notably, reaching Rank 55 is also required to unlock this quest, ensuring all these steps are interconnected.
Once you've met these initial requirements, you'll need to gather all the materials needed for the expansion. This will be one of the largest investments in the game, so be prepared for a significant grind.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
To begin the expansion process, visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the main menu, select ‘Farm Expansion’ at the bottom to view the requirements.
First, you will need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will take time, so focus on gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, fish when you can, and contribute new items to the Museum.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which requires you to repair the **Stone Refinery**. This repair is only possible once you reach Town Rank 55, and you must also repair the **Inn** beforehand.
Lastly, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can gather Hard Wood from **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also obtain this material from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you've gathered all the required materials and money, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for access.
