In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as you progress and need more space for crops and animals. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the game’s v0.13.0 update, is the perfect solution to this problem. Here’s a detailed 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, providing additional land for 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, which also requires Town Rank 55. These requirements work hand in hand, making it a coordinated effort to unlock the expansion.
Once you’ve met these initial criteria, the next step is to gather the required materials for the expansion. This is a major investment in the game, so be prepared for a bit of a grind.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
Start by visiting 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.
The monetary cost is a hefty **40,000 Tesserae**. Accumulating this amount will take time, so focus on gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, go fishing, 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**. This task becomes available only after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.
Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest of the materials to collect. You can start harvesting Hard Wood as soon as you obtain a **Copper Axe**. Look for **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond; each stump yields 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can acquire Hard Wood from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you have all the necessary materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and select ‘Buy’ to purchase the expansion. This action will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge for easy access.
