"Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria"

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm is crucial for those looking to grow their agricultural empire. With the new expansion feature introduced in the v0.13.0 update, you can significantly increase your farm's size, allowing for more crops and animals. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to build the farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria*.

How to Unlock Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

The Farm Expansion feature extends your farm across the river to the right, providing a new plot of land perfect for additional structures and crop fields. You can purchase this option at the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. Although you can technically buy it in your first year, you'll need to meet some prerequisites first.

To unlock the expansion, you must elevate the town to **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55. These requirements are interconnected, ensuring a progressive gameplay experience.

After meeting these initial criteria, your next step is to gather the necessary materials for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant investment, as this is one of the most substantial undertakings in the game.

How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

Start by heading to the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the shop’s main menu, navigate to the ‘Farm Expansion’ option 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 visit the Mines, fish as much as possible, and contribute new items to the Museum to earn Tesserae.

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

Lastly, you need **50 x Hard Wood**, which is comparatively easier to obtain. Once you have a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from **large tree stumps** found around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. Alternatively, you can acquire this material from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by contributing enough items to the Museum.

With all the required materials and funds in hand, 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 bridge for easy access.
