In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is a crucial step to accommodate your growing needs for crops and animals. The introduction of the farm expansion feature in the game's v0.13.0 update is a game-changer, allowing you to significantly increase your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build this expansion.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The first step to unlocking the farm expansion is to visit the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year in the game, but there are some prerequisites you need to meet.
To be eligible to buy the Farm Expansion, you must help the town achieve **Rank 55** by accumulating sufficient Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest**, which also requires Town Rank 55 to unlock. These steps are interconnected and essential for moving forward with the expansion.
After meeting these initial requirements, your next task is to gather all the necessary materials for the expansion. This is a significant investment, so prepare for a substantial effort.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
To start building the farm expansion, head over to the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. Navigate to the shop’s main menu and select 'Farm Expansion' at the bottom to view the expansion requirements.
You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will take time, so engage in various activities like gathering, farming, and completing quests. Frequent visits to the Mines, fishing, and contributing new items to the Museum can help you gather the necessary funds.
Additionally, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which becomes available at Town Rank 55, and you'll also need to have repaired the **Inn** beforehand.
Lastly, you'll require **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to acquire. With a **Copper Axe**, you can chop **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can purchase Hard Wood from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or earn it by contributing items to the Museum.
Once you've gathered all the required materials and money, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and select 'Buy' to purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for easy access.
