In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for accommodating more crops and animals. The game's v0.13.0 update introduced a Farm Expansion feature that significantly increases your farm's size by extending it across the river to the right, offering more space for structures and crop fields. Here's a detailed guide on how to unlock and build this expansion.

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. While you can purchase the expansion as early as your first year in Mistria, you'll need to meet some prerequisites first.

The first requirement is to help the town reach **Rank 55** by earning Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest** to gather some of the materials needed for the expansion. Note that this quest also requires Town Rank 55, so these goals are interconnected.

Once you've met these initial requirements, the next step is to gather all the necessary materials. Be prepared for a substantial investment, as this expansion is one of the largest in the game.

How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

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

The first requirement is **40,000 Tesserae**, which covers the monetary cost of the upgrade. Accumulating this amount will require diligent effort through gathering, farming, and completing quests. Make the most of your time by exploring the Mines, fishing, and contributing to the Museum.

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

The final material needed is **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from large tree stumps found around your farm and other areas, yielding 2 x Hard Wood each. 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 action will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.

That wraps up the process of building the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*. For more tips and guides on the game, including how to craft Essence Stones, be sure to explore our other resources.
