How to get Sprite Statues in Fields of Mistria

A helping hand around the farm

One of the new additions to Fields of Mistria in the second major update is Sprite Statues. They’re farm tools, and while they’re useful to have around, using them is slightly complicated due to in-game mechanics.

Two new Sprite Statues were added in the update, both of which are incredibly useful, and well worth trying to get. If you 💛want to know how to get them, or how they work, here’s everything you need to know.

To get the two Sprite Statues and their respective recipes, you’ll need to wait until you’ve reached floor 60 of the Mines and worked your way past the Fire Seal. During the cutscene after this, Caldarus wiღll give you access📖 to a new spell called Dragon’s Breath. 

The Sprite Statues themselves are located in two previously inaccessible caves, one in The Narrows, and one to the east ไof the Beach. You’ve likeꦏly seen them previously and wondered how you were supposed to get into them. 

Once you’ve found one of the caves, use the Dragon’s Breath spell to break through the rock blocking the way. Dragon’s Breath costs two Mana to use, so you might want to make sure you have some Mana Potions on hand so that you don’t have to wai✨t days between casts, or otherwise use up all of your Ma💟na.

As well as the Spri💯te Statue itself, you’ll also get a recipe to make more of them and♑ a Small Essence Stone in each cave.  

Animal Sprite Statue

The Animal Sprite Statu🅘e is located within The Narrows Cave, which can be found next to Errol’s house in The Narrows. 

The Animal Sprite Statue works as an auto-petter and will negate the need to individually pet your animals each day w💞hen it’s placed inside a Barn or Coop. Using the Animal Sprite Statue is a great way to continuously increase your friendships with the animals on your Farm, allowing you to gain more worthwhile drops such as Golden cooking ingred♊ients. 

Water Sprite Statue

The Water Sprite Statue and its r🦋ecipe are located in the Beach Cave, which🐈 can be found by swimming eastwards around the lighthouse on the Beach. 

A Water Sprite Statue is, essentially, a sprinkler. When placed in crops, it will water crops within a two-tile radius, so you can get on with other things and not worry about having to water them by hand. This is going to save you a ton of time every day, especially now that you can change the game speed

Neither Sprite Statue will work without the addition of Essence Stones. These are a new resource that were also added as part of the update, and you’ll need to complete the quest to build the Stone Refinery to get them. 

Once you’ve built the Stone Refinery,♚ you’ll be able to craft four ꦺdifferent sizes of Essence Stones, each of which can power each Sprite Statue for a certain number of days:

Essence Stone sizeRecipeNumber of days
Tiny Essence Stone5 Stone
5 Essence
1 day
Small Essence Stone10 Stone
25 Essence
5 days
Medium Essence Stone20 Stone
50 Essence
10 days
Large Essence Stone40 Stone
100 Essence
20 days

To place an Essence♏ Stone into a Sprite Statue, select it from within your inventory and then approach the Statue. You’ll be prompted to place the Stone into the Statu🐼e, and it will spring to life once the Stone is in place above its head.

You can check on your Sprite Statues at an♐y time by interacting with them, and a prompt will appear at the bottom of the screen letting you know how long you have until the Essence Stone needs to be replaced.
