"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. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the v0.13.0 update, allows you to significantly increase your farm's size by extending it 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 the farm expansion, head over 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 you must meet first. You need to 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 steps are interconnected, ensuring you're well-established before expanding.

Once these initial requirements are met, you'll need to gather the materials for the expansion, which is one of the game's largest investments. Be prepared for a substantial grind to acquire everything you need.

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’ at the bottom to view the requirements. You'll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost, which will require diligent effort in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Frequent visits to the Mines, fishing, and contributing to the Museum can help you accrue this amount.

Next, gather **50 x Refined Stone**, a challenging task that involves repairing the **Stone Refinery**—an action you can only take after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.

Lastly, collect **50 x Hard Wood**, which is comparatively easier. You can start harvesting Hard Wood as soon as you obtain a **Copper Axe**. Look for **large tree stumps** around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can purchase this material from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or earn it by contributing 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.
