"Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria"

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial as your need for space grows. Whether it's for more crops or additional animals, the farm expansion feature introduced in the v0.13.0 update is your solution. Here’s a comprehensive 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 feature significantly increases your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right, providing a new area 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 substantial 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. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring you progress through the game's milestones before expanding your farm.

Once you've met these initial conditions, the next step is gathering the necessary materials for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant 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.

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, and contribute new items to the Museum.

Next, you'll require **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which becomes available at Town Rank 55. Prior to that, you'll need to repair the **Inn**.

Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to collect. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, yielding 2 x Hard Wood each. 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 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 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.
