In *Fields of Mistria*, as you nurture your farm, you'll eventually need more space for crops and animals. The game's expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, is the perfect solution to this problem. If you're eager to learn how to expand your farm, here's a detailed guide to help you through the process.
How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
The Farm Expansion feature significantly increases your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right, offering a new piece of land for additional structures and crop spaces. You can purchase this option at the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. Although you can technically buy it in your first year, you'll need to meet certain progress requirements first.
To unlock the Farm Expansion, you must help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55 to unlock. These requirements are interconnected and essential for moving forward with the expansion.
Once you meet these initial criteria, your next step is to gather the materials necessary for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant investment of time and resources.
How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria
Head to 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.
First, you'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. Accumulating this amount will take time, so maximize your efforts in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish whenever you can, and contribute new items to the Museum.
Next, you'll require **50 x Refined Stone**, which involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be done after reaching Town Rank 55 and after you've repaired the Inn.
Lastly, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from the large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also acquire 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 easy access.
That's how you build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides, be sure to explore our other content, including how to craft Essence Stones.
