In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as you look to increase your crop and animal spaces. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, is the perfect solution to your spatial needs. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build your farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
To start, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located on the Eastern Road. You can purchase the Farm Expansion as early as your first year in town, but there are prerequisites to meet first.
You need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55 to unlock. These steps are interconnected and essential for progressing toward your farm expansion.
Once these initial conditions are met, the next step is gathering the necessary materials for the expansion. It's a significant investment, so be prepared for a bit of a grind.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The first requirement is a hefty **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the costs. Accumulating this amount will require diligent gathering, farming, and quest completion. Make regular trips to the Mines, engage in fishing, and contribute new items to the Museum to boost your earnings.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which means repairing the **Stone Refinery** first. This repair can only be undertaken after reaching Town Rank 55 and after you've repaired the Inn.
Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier. You can start collecting Hard Wood with a **Copper Axe**. Look for **large tree stumps** on your farm and elsewhere, 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 secured all the materials and funds, head back 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.
