Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for accommodating more crops and animals as you progress in the game. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, offers a solution by increasing the farm's width across the river to the right, providing additional space for structures and crop fields.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the Farm Expansion as early as your first year, but it comes with specific progress requirements. 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, ensuring that you're prepared for the expansion.

Once you meet these initial requirements, the next step is to gather the materials needed for the expansion. It's a substantial investment, so be ready for a dedicated effort.

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. You'll need a hefty **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the costs, which you can accumulate through various activities like gathering, farming, and completing quests. Make regular trips to the Mines, fish, and contribute to the Museum to boost your earnings.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which you can obtain after repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair is only possible once you reach Town Rank 55 and have previously repaired the Inn.

Lastly, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to gather. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can acquire this material from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in items 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 new 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.
