"Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria"

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is essential for those looking to increase their crop fields and animal enclosures. The game's v0.13.0 update introduced a Farm Expansion feature, which allows players to significantly increase the size of their farm, extending it across the river to a new plot of land perfect for additional structures and crop spaces.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To unlock the Farm Expansion, head over 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 specific prerequisites you must meet first.

You need to help the town achieve **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires reaching Town Rank 55. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring you're well-prepared for the expansion.

Once these initial conditions are met, you'll need to gather the necessary materials for the expansion. This is a significant investment, so prepare 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 main menu, choose ‘Farm Expansion’ to view the requirements.

You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the cost of the upgrade. Accumulate this currency through farming, gathering resources, and completing quests. Regular visits to the Mines, fishing, and turning in new items to the Museum will help you gather the necessary funds.

Next, you require **50 x Refined Stone**, which necessitates repairing the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be done once you reach Town Rank 55 and after you've repaired the Inn.

Finally, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to gather. With a **Copper Axe**, chop the **large tree stumps** found around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also obtain this material from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by turning in enough items to the Museum.

Once you've gathered all the required materials and funds, 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 bridge for easy access.
