Building Farm Expansion Guide in Fields of Mistria

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is essential 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 your solution to this growing need. 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 increases the width of your farm, extending it across the river to the right and providing a new piece of land for additional structures and crop spaces. To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located on the Eastern Road. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but there are significant prerequisites to meet.

First, you must help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest to acquire some of the materials required for the expansion. Note that the Stone Refinery quest also becomes available only after reaching Rank 55, so these steps are interconnected.

Once you've met these initial requirements, your next task is to gather all the necessary materials for the expansion. This is a substantial investment, so be prepared for a challenging but rewarding journey.

How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To begin, visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. Navigate to the shop’s main menu and select ‘Farm Expansion’ at the bottom to view the requirements.

The first requirement is a hefty **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will take time, so maximize your efforts in gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, go fishing, and contribute new items to the Museum.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which is no small feat. To obtain this, you must repair the **Stone Refinery**, a task that becomes available only after reaching Town Rank 55. Before that, you'll need to repair the **Inn**.

Finally, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to acquire. With a **Copper Axe** in hand, you can chop down the **large tree stumps** found 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 items to the Museum.

Once you've gathered all the required materials and money, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and select ‘Buy’ to purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.
