The Farm Expansion in *Fields of Mistria* significantly increases the size of your farm by extending it across the river to the right, giving you access to additional land for more structures and crop spaces. This feature became available with the game's v0.13.0 update.
To unlock the Farm Expansion, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. While it's possible to purchase the expansion as early as your first year in Mistria, you must meet certain prerequisites. First, you need to elevate the town to **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. Both these requirements work in unison to prepare you for the expansion.
After meeting these initial conditions, the next step involves gathering the necessary materials. Be prepared for a significant investment, as this is one of the largest undertakings in the game.

Begin by visiting the Carpenter’s Shop, situated northeast of Mistria’s town center on the Eastern Road. 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 cost of the expansion. Accumulating this amount will take time, so engage in various activities such as gathering resources, farming, completing quests, 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 is contingent on reaching Town Rank 55 and completing the prerequisite task of repairing the Inn.
Lastly, you'll need **50 x Hard Wood**, which is relatively easier to obtain. With a **Copper Axe**, you can harvest Hard Wood from the **large tree stumps** found around your farm and beyond, yielding 2 x Hard Wood per stump. Alternatively, you can acquire Hard Wood from **Balor’s Cart** on specific days or by contributing items to the Museum.
Once you've gathered all the required materials and Tesserae, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This action will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a bridge to facilitate access.
