Building Farm Expansion Guide in Fields of Mistria

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for those looking to increase their crop and animal space. With the introduction of the farm expansion feature in the game's v0.13.0 update, you can now extend your farm across the river to a new piece of land, ideal for building additional structures and crop areas. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and build this much-needed expansion.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To unlock the farm expansion, head over to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located on the Eastern Road in Mistria. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year in the game, but there are significant prerequisites you need to meet first.

The first step is to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. This rank is also necessary to unlock the **Stone Refinery repair quest**, which is crucial for gathering some of the materials needed for the expansion. Both requirements are interconnected, so achieving Rank 55 is essential.

Once you've met these initial conditions, you'll need to gather the materials required 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 for the upgrade.

The first requirement is **40,000 Tesserae**, the game's currency. Accumulating this amount will take time, so engage in various activities like gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish, and contribute new items to the Museum to boost your Tesserae earnings.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which requires reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the **Inn** beforehand.

Lastly, gather **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 to the Museum.

Once you have all the required materials and funds, return 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.

That's how you can build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides on the game, including how to craft Essence Stones, be sure to explore our other content.
