"Guide to Expanding Your Farm in Fields of Mistria"

In *Fields of Mistria*, expanding your farm to accommodate more crops and animals is a crucial step for any aspiring farmer. The farm expansion feature, introduced in the game’s v0.13.0 update, offers a solution to this space issue. 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 significantly increases the size of your farm by extending it across the river to the right, providing additional land for structures and crop spaces.

To unlock this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the Farm Expansion as early as your first year, but there are substantial prerequisites to meet first.

Firstly, you need to elevate the town to **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Concurrently, you must complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55 to unlock. These steps are interconnected, so achieving one will aid in accomplishing the other.

Once you've met these initial conditions, you'll need to gather the necessary materials for the expansion, which is a considerable undertaking in the game.

How to Build Farm Expansion in Fields of Mistria

To proceed with the expansion, 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 monetary cost is a hefty **40,000 Tesserae**. Accumulating this amount will take time, so engage in activities like gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish when you can, and contribute new items to the Museum to maximize your Tesserae earnings.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which you can obtain after repairing the **Stone Refinery**. Remember, you need Town Rank 55 to unlock this repair, and you must first repair the **Inn**.

Lastly, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest of the three materials to acquire. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from **large tree stumps** found around your farm and beyond, yielding 2 x Hard Wood each. Alternatively, you can purchase this from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by donating enough items to the Museum.

Once you have 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.
