The farm expansion in *Fields of Mistria* extends your farm's width across the river to the right, providing additional land for structures and crop spaces. To access this feature, head to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located in the Eastern Road area. You can purchase the expansion as early as your first year, but there are significant progress requirements you must meet first.

To unlock the farm expansion, you need to help the town reach **Rank 55** by accumulating enough Renown points. Additionally, you must complete the **Stone Refinery repair quest** to gather some of the required materials. Note that reaching Rank 55 is also necessary to unlock this quest, so these steps are interconnected.

Once these initial requirements are met, you'll need to gather all the materials needed for the expansion. This is a substantial undertaking, so prepare for a grind.

Start by visiting the Carpenter’s Shop, located northeast of Mistria’s town center on the Eastern Road. From the shop’s main menu, select ‘Farm Expansion’ to view the requirements for the upgrade.

The first requirement is **40,000 Tesserae**, which covers the monetary cost of the expansion. Accumulating this amount will take time, so maximize your efforts in gathering, farming, and completing quests. Regularly explore the Mines, fish whenever possible, and contribute new items to the Museum.

Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**. To obtain this, you must first repair the **Stone Refinery**, which requires reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the **Inn** beforehand.

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

Once you've gathered all the necessary materials and money, 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.
