One of the most vital parts of life in Fields of Mistria is rearing livestock, and to do that, you need some farm buildings. Coops and Barns can each hold di?fferent types of animals, and they each come in three different sizes. 

Before you can get animals on your farm in Fields of Mistria, you’ll need to repair both the Bridge and the Mill. Repairing the Bridge is the first task set for you by Adeline and happens fairly early on. Then, once that’s done, you’ll get a letter from Adeline in the mail after the Spring Festival in your first year. Visiting her in her office will spark the quest to repair the Mill, and when that’s don?e, you can move on to get some animals. 

How to get Barns and Coops in Fields of Mistria

After you’ve repaired the Mill, you’ll get a letter in the mail from Ryis telling you that you can now pu??rchase Barns and Coops. Initially, you’ll be able to get two different sizes of each building, each of which comes in either red or white. The color of the building doesn’t affect the resources needed to build them, nor the number of animals that it can hold. It’s purely aesthetic, and which one you get depends on the look you're going for on your Farm. 

To build a Coop or Barn, you’ll need to head to the Carpenter’s Shop to purchase the blueprint, then place the footprint of the building down on your farm. A box will appear where you can place resources over time, and the building will be built when all of the necessary resources are placed in th??e box. 

Each farm building requires the following resources and fu??nds to build:

How to get Large Coops and Barns in Fields of Mistria

The blueprints for Large Coops and Barns only become available when you receive a letter from Ryis after reaching level 40 in the Ranching skill. This is done by treating your animals well by feeding and petting them each day, lett??ing them out of th??e buildings when the weather is nice, and not leaving them outside overnight. 

Large Coops and Barns aren’t too expensive, but if you want to replace an existing building with a larger version, you’ll need to put all of the contained animals in daycare a??t Hayden’s Farm, remove the original building, then place the new bigger building down where you want?? it to be before getting the animals back out of daycare.

This seems like a faff, but it’s worth doing if you want to maximize on animal produce while saving on sp?ace and you do at least get the resources back that you used to create the original building. Sadly, the Tesserae spent buying the blueprints is n??ot returned, but you do get to keep the old blueprint to place elsewhere if you want to. 

Large Coops and Barns require the following res??ources and funds to build:

Animal placement in Fields of Mistria

Coops are designed for small animals, while Barns are obviously designed for larger animals. With the newly added ability to have a Mount and customize it to your preferences, you can change the appearance of ?your Mount to any animal that lives within a barn, as long as it has four or more hearts of friendship. 

Here’s what animals live in which farm building:

It’s an unwritten rule that any good life sim should have a museum where you can hand in items to complete collections a?nd earn rewards. Fields of Mistria is n??o exception to this rule, with hundreds of items of all different types to hand in. 

The first major update to Fields of Mistria on November 18 added some new collections to the Museum, including the new Multi-Season sets in the fish and insect wings. Prior to the update, fish or bugs that could spawn in more than one season were generally not included in any collections at the? Museum, but this update changes that, and there are new rewards up for grabs, too. 

How to complete the Multi-Season Fish set in Fields of Mistria

The Multi-Season Fish set is by far the easiest of the two new sets to complete. All of the included fish are c?ommon and can spawn in any season, including Winter, so there is no limit to when you can go fishing and work towards completing the ??set. 

On top of that, you can narrow down the search for each fish because not only do they each spawn in specific locations, but they also have specific shadow sizes. This means you don’t have to waste energy fishing up every fish in a locati?on but can focus on the specific shadow size of the fish you’re looking f??or. 

Here’s all of the fish included in the Multi-Season Fish set, as well as their shadow sizes and? where they spawn:

Multi-Season Fish reward

For completing the Multi-Season?? Fish set at the Museum in Fi??elds of Mistria, you’ll earn the following:

• 1 Golden Treasure Box
• 1 Faux Fish Wall Plaque
• Faux Fish Wall Plaque recipe

How to complete the Multi-Season Insect set in Fields of Mistria

The Multi-Season Insect set is much harder to complete, especially if you’re starting the search in the Fall, frantically searching to find them before the first day of snow. Four of the five insects included?? in the set will not spawn during Winter, so y?ou’ll have to find them in Spring, Summer, or Fall instead. 

On top of this, each insect?? will only spawn during specific weather conditions and at certain times of the day. All of this adds up to become quite frustrating, but you can make it easier on yourself by remembering a few things:

• Chopping down long grass can sometimes cause insects to spawn, especially on the Farm
• These insects can spawn anywhere other than the Beach or inside the Mines, so explore all other areas thoroughly during their spawn windows
• You can check what kind of weather you’re going to have the next day by using the Crystal Ball or on the day by checking the icon next to the date in the top right corner of the screen

Here are all of the insects included?? in the Multi-Season Insect set, as well as all the information you’ll need to find them:

Multi-Season Insect reward

When you manage to? track down all of the necessary i??nsects and hand them in at the Museum, you’ll be rewarded with the following:

• 1 Golden Treasure Box
• Insect Rug
• Insect Rug recipe

One of the best aspects of Fields of Mistria is all of the content provided by Muse??um donations. There’s always something to find or aim for, so you’re never left hunting for s??omething to do. 

The Museum is split into the following four wings??, all focusing on a different type of ite??ms:

• Archaeology
• Flora
• Insects
• Fish

How to complete the Archaeology Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria

To be upfront, it’s currently impossible to get 100% of the Archaeology Wing in Fields of Mistria. There are two collections (Gems of Mistria and Metals of Mistria) that require two items not currently obtainable in the game. These items will presumably com??e on yet-to-be-added Floors of the Mi??nes, which will be added in future patches. 

With that said, everything els??e on this list is ab?solutely obtainable. Here’s how to get every item:

How to complete the Fish Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria

Each collection in the Fish Wi??ng of the Museum requires you to fish in certain locations, during certain seasons, and even sometimes under certain weather conditions. The collection name tells you where and when you’ll need to fish. On??ly seasonally specific fish are eligible for donation to the Museum.

Here’s how to get every fish needed, i??ncluding any addit?ional information you’ll need to catch them.

Overworld fish

Fish in the Mines

Unlike the other Fish on this list, those found within the Mines have no time or wea??ther restrictions and can?? be found at any time:

Legendary fish

The final collection of Legendary Fish requires one fish to b?e caught per season unde??r specific conditions. These can only be caught after unlocking the level 30 Fishing perk “Legendary�

How to complete the Flora Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria

The Flora Wing requires items that are both foraged in the open world of Mistria and inside the Mines or are crops grown on your farm in specific seasons. If you’re lucky, you could find these items out of season at Balor’s Wagon, so make sure to check his stock daily if you’re struggling to comp??lete a collection!

Here are all of the items you’ll need to complete each collection of th??is wing.

Overworld flora

Flora in the Mines

As with Fish, there are three collections consisting of items found within the Mines. These can be found at any time of year:

How to complete the Insects Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria

The Insects Wing of the Museum in Fields of Mistria has the least collections to complete but is arguably the hardest to reach?? 100% of. Some of the insects required are incredibly ra??re, so you must rely on luck to complete this wing.

Here’s how to get each insect you’ll need.

Overworld insects

Insects in the Mines

The three collections which can be completed?? by collecting insects within the Mines can be completed at any time of year, as insects within the Mines do ?not have any seasonal or weather conditions:

Grass Insects

Th?e Grass Insect Set asks for th??e following insects, which can be found all over Mistria:

Beach Insects

The Beach Insect Set needs you to find the following insects, which can all be found specifically at the beach in any season and any weather condition??s:

• Hermit Crab
• Relic Crab
• Surf Beetle
• Waterbug
• Beach Hopper

Rare Insects

The Rare Insect Set requires you to co??llect?? the following insects:

Legendary Insects

Like the Legen?dary Fish Set, the Legendary Insect Set requires you to find different insects that can be found all over Mistria but onl?y in specific seasons:

Once you’ve got animals on your farm in Fields of Mistria, it can get a bit confusing trying to tell them apart at a glance, especially when you’ve got a few that are the same color. Thankfull??y, there are lots of different Animal Cosmetics you can use to individualize the livestock. 

Each type of animal has its own set of Cosmetics, and while some can be purchased at Hayden’s Shop on Sweetwater Farm, others are earned through breeding certain ty??pes of the animal or through donating either Shiny Beads or Tesserae to the Chicke?n Statue or Wishing Well respectively.

Seasonal variants each c??ome with unique Cosmetic items, which can be used for all other animals of the same type regardless of which?? tier they are in.

If you have a lot of animals on your Farm in Fields of Mistria, you’ve likely?? grumbled at least once about having to do the rounds to get them in ??or out of their respective buildings with individual bells. If so, you’re definitely going to want the Big Bell. 

The Big Bell was added to Fields of Mistria as part of the first major update on November 18. Once placed, it can be used to call all of your animals in or out of their farm buildings, re?gardless of how many of them there are. 

Unfortunately, unlocking the Big Bell is going ?to be a bit ??of a grind, but here’s everything you need to know. 

How to get and use the Big Bell in Fields of Mistria

The Big Bell can be unlocked by grinding out your ranching level all the way to level 45. When you get there, you can head over to Calderusâ€?Statue on the farm and unlock the level 45 ranching skill perk “The Bell Tollsâ€?at a ??cost of 155 Essence. 

This won’t just hand you the Big Bell itself, though. Instead, you’ll unlock the recipe to craft it yourself, so you’ll ?need to head over to a Crafting Bench with the follo??wing resources:

• 5 Copper Ingots
• 5 Iron Ingots
• 5 Silver Ingots
• 10 Hardwood

If you haven’t got the necessary resources to make the needed Ingots, you’ll need to head down into the Mines to gather them. Copper Ore can be found in the Upper Mines (floors 1 - 20), Iron Ore can be found in Tide Caverns (floors 21 - 40), and Silver Ore can be found in Deep Earth (floors 41 - 60). You’ll need 50 of each type of Ore before you can use the Anvil out?side the Blacksmiths to turn them into Ingots.

The recipe for the Big Bell can be found in the "Functional" section at the Woodworking Bench. Once you’ve crafted the ??Big Bell, you?? can place it anywhere on your Farm, then it’s used in the same way as any of the bells on individual Coops or Barns. Just interact with it, then select either “Call outside�or “Send inside�to get the animals in or out. 

How to increase your Ranching skill in Fields of Mistria

Even if your ranching skill was at t??he maximum of 30 pre-update, you’re still going to have to grind out 15 levels, and that takes time and effort. Unlike other skills like Mining or Cooking that can be done as much as you like and increase quickly, ranching is limited to what you can do with the animals each day. 

The speed at which your ranching level increases will also depend on how many animals you have on your farm. It’s a good idea to at least fill each building to its full capacity, and once you reach ranching level 40, you’ll unlock Large Coops and Barns to purchase at the Carpenter’s Shop for 6,000 and 8,000 Tesserae, respectively. These b?uildings can hold 12 animals in each. 

Here are some general tips for in??creasing your ranch??ing skill level:

• Pet each animal every day
• Feed each animal every day (with feed inside the building, hand-fed crops, or allow them to eat crops outside)
• Let them out of the buildings on days with good weather
• Don’t leave them outside overnight

If you’re finding your space restricted in Fields of Mistria and running o?ut of places to put things inside your farmhouse, don’t worry. If you can save up the ??funds and gather up the resources, you’ll soon have a lot of space to decorate. 

To begin with, the inside space of your home is only 13 by 8 tiles in size. This is incredibly limiting, especially when you start to craft your own furniture, earn rewards at the Spring Festival, or bring back choice finds from the Mines. 

How to upgrade the Farmhouse in Fields of Mistria

Thankfully, there are three different upgrades that can be purch??ased to expand your space. The first of these will expand the central roo??m to a larger size, while the other two will add a room on each side of the original farmhouse.

Remember to physically take all of the resources required to the?? Carpenter's Shop with you when it's time to perform each up??grade.

First upgrade

If you’re looking to expand, you can do so pretty easily by purchasing the first House Upgrade from the Carpenter’s Shop. T?his will increase the size of the main room to 17 by 12 tiles. Unfortunately, this initial upgrade isn’t cheap, and you’ll need a hefty sum of both materials and Tesserae. 

In total??, you’ll need the following resources before you can purchase the first House Up??grade:

• 500 Wood
• 500 Stone
• 5,000 Tesserae

By far, the easiest way to get Stone is by heading into the Mines, and you’ll be happy to know that you can commit mass deforestati??on across the entirety of Mistria to get the wood. Don’t worry, the trees will be back in their usual spots the very next day, so you’re not doing any lasting damage even if you chop them down on the daily. 

Once you’ve got your resources and have purchased the House Upgrade, the Farmhouse will already be bigger?? when you return t?o it. You might find you need to rearrange your furniture, so make sure you’ve got enough time to do this when you get back to the farm unless you want to pass out at 2 a.m. While the change to the outside is minimal, it’s really inside where the difference is most noticeable:

Second upgrade

The second farmhouse upgrade in Fie??lds of Mistria can be purchased after the first, and will add a new 13 by 9 tile room to left side of the house, including a new dormer window in the roof on the exterior. As with the first upgrade, getting the second one requires a large amount of resources and Tesserae.

In total, you'll need the following:

• 500 Wood
• 500 Stone
• 20 Iron Ingots
• 15,000 Tesserae

Despite the cost, it's a good idea to expand outwards so that you can begin to dedicate different spaces for different uses. For example, having a separate room for interior storage and crafting can be very useful, as it prevents you from being stuck outside in the rain when you want to craft. Alternatively, you could purchase some of the new bathroom inspired items available at Merri's stall at the Saturday Market.

You'll need a total of 200 Iron Ore to make the 20 Iron Ingots required as part of this upgrade. Iron Ore can be found in Tide Caverns (floors 21 - 40) within the Mines. Alternatively, you can purchase Iron Ore from the Blacksmith as long as you've passed the Water Seal. It costs 70 Tessera?e each, or 14,000 Tesserae in total.

Third upgrade

The third upgrade available for your farmhouse will add an equally sized room on the opposite side of the farmhouse, leaving you with a total of 438 tiles to fill with furniture and deco?rations. Of course, this doesn't co??me cheap, although many of the resources needed remain the same:

• 500 Wood
• 500 Stone
• 20 Silver Ingots
• 25,000 Tesserae

To get the 20 Silver Ingots you need to purchase this upgrade, you'll need a total of 200 Silver Ore, which can be found in Deep Earth (floors 41 - 60) within the Mines. If you'd rather buy the Silver Ore, you can get it from the Blacksmiths as long as you've passed the Earth Seal. It costs 100 Tesserae each, so you'll?? need to spend 20,000 in total to get all 200 needed for this upgrade.

This is the final upgrade that's currently available for your farmhouse in Fields of Mistria, alt?hough more are likely to be added during future updates. When more are added, this page will be updated accordingly. Until then, enjoy the added space to decorate!

Requests from villagers are a common staple of any farming sim, and Fields of Mistria is no? different. The Request Board has been giving out small quests since the beginning, but the first major up??date has added a new type of request. 

Whereas regular Requests are for one-off items, such as forageables or crafted items, the newly added Crown Requests are much more labor intensive. ?They come directly from the King of the mysterious Capital and involve shipping items out of town. Effectively, C??rown Requests turn you into a one-man export business. 

How to unlock Crown Requests in Fields of Mistria

Crown Requests will become available when you reach Town Rank 50, so you’ve got a bit of work ahead of you if you’re just starting out on your Mistrian adventure. When you ??reach this pivotal point, you can begin to pick up Crown Requests from the Request Board to the ?left of the General Store in town. 

You only get one Crow?n Request a week, with a new one becoming available to pick up each Monda??y as long as you’ve completed the previous one in the week preceding. Each Crown Request offers two rewards:

• 75 Renown (as opposed to the 20 Renown offered for completing regular requests)
• 1 Golden Treasure Chest containing Tesserae and resources

All Crown Requests in Fields of Mistria

There are a lot of Crown Requests to work through, so this list may not be entirely exhaustive as of yet, although I’ve played through two seasons, completing one Crown Request each week since the update. I will add any further Crown Requests to this list as more become availa??ble. 

Crown Requests seem to come out in a particular order, with the first one being Crops. They’re all relatively simpl?e to complete, although a couple are a little resource-heavy. All? Crown Requests ask you to ship certain items, but simply doing that isn’t enough to complete the request. You’ll need to talk to Adeline the day after the shipment has been made to complete each Crown Request.

For Crown Requests that don’t call for specific items, you can mix and match the?? different items to fit the requirement. For example, to ship 30 cr?ops, you can ship a mixture of different kinds as long as you ship the requested total. 

Here’s all of the Crown Requests that I’ve personally seen so f?ar:

The first major update to Fields of Mistria added a second festival, and it’s a remarkably cute one. It’s got some really adorable lore, and is an o?pportunity to get to know your in-game crush just a little bit more. 

The Shooting Star Festival takes place on Summer 28 each year, and lore-wise, it’s a chance for people to get together with friends, family, and loved ones to watch the meteor shower that takes place at that time. It’s also said that if you choose to watch the Shooting Star Festival with someone on The Summit, it will intrinsical??ly tie your destinies together.

How to invite someone to the Shooting Star Festival in Fields of Mistria

On the morning of Summer 28, Elsie will come to visit you at ??the Farm to tell you about the Shooting Star Festival, and you’ll have to decide whether you want to take someone with you to The Summit for a moon and meteor lit date (“Yes! Please tell me more!â€?, or if you want to exp??erience the moment alone. 

Who you can (or sho??uld) take to The Summit to enjoy Shooting Star Festival will depend on a couple of things:

• Which romanceable villager(s) you currently have four or more stars with
• Which of them you want to move forward to the next stage of your relationship with

If you tell Elsie that you want to?? take someone, she will provide you with a Star Brooch. This item can be given to a villager wit?h four or more hearts of friendship to invite them up to The Summit. After they have accepted, you’ll then need to wait until 8 p.m. to go and meet them. Meeting with your chosen date will end the day, so make sure you’ve done everything that you wanted to do in the meantime. 

If you’re impatient and want to speed up the waiting? process, you can take the opportunity to do some milling. Each milled item will take up a chunk of time, and I very quickly passed the entire day churning Butter.

After entering The Summit after 8 p.m., you’ll enter into a c??utscene with your chosen companion, during which you’ll learn?? more about them and have the opportunity to grow closer. 

Who should you invite to the Shooting Star Festival in Fields of Mistria?

This decision is entirely personal and will depend on who you’ve developed more of a bond?? with. I chose to go with March, mainly becaus??e I’ve not put too much effort into building relationships and he was my only available option, but I likely would have invited him anyway even if I did have a choice!

Regardless of who you take with you to watch the meteor shower, you’ll have an opportunity to get to know more about their past, as well as more about who they are now. It’s unclear as of yet whether takin?g someone to the Shooting Star Festival is the kick-off point to a romantic relatio?nship, with this information likely becoming more clear when more heart events are added during future updates. 

To be safe, think carefully about who ??you want to grow closer with before you hand out the Star ??Brooch.

There are a ton of different resources to collect in Fields of Mistria and eventually use as part of crafting recipe, and the first major update on Novemb??er 18 added a few more to worry about. One of them, Essence Drop, is particularly useful for a particular crafted? set of furniture. 

The problem with Essence Drop, is that it is a drop from only one monster within the Mines, so you might have a h??ard time stocking up on it to begin with. However, once you’ve unlocked the necessary levels of the Mines, you’ll be able to go down and farm for?? the resource pretty easily. 

How to get Essence Drop in Fields of Mistria

To begin farming for Essence Drop, you’ll need to first unlock the Mines and then get past the Water Seal. It is a purple teardrop shaped resource that is a possible drop from the newly added Essence Bat monster within the Mines. They can be found anywhere in Tide Caverns and Deep Earth, although they seem to get more common t?he further you descend. 

Watch out for their sonic attack, which can be pretty devastating if you’re not geared appropriately for the level of the Mine that you happen to be exploring. Essence Bats will get an exclamation point above their head before they attack, and then shoot out purple rays in your general direction that can’t be deflected??, so make sure to dodge? and weave!

How to use Essence Drop in Fields of Mistria

Before you reach Town Rank 50, Essence Drop might not seem all that useful and it can be tempting to just sell it, even though it only sells for 20 Tesserae each. However, I’d advise that you stock up on this resource as much as possible, because it’s used as pa??rt of the recipe for items that are part of t??he Cottage Garden decor set. 

You receive five d??ifferent items from this set, as well as their recipes that can be used to create multiple variations of each item, between Town Rank level 50 and 60,?? so you’re going to want some Essence Drop when you get there. You’ll only need one or two Essence Drop per item you want to make, but as they’re very cute and almost romantically themed, you’re likely to want to make a lot of them. 

The five different items included with the Cottage Garden decor set, and w??hat Town Rank you unlock them at, are:

Bugs seem to be everywhere you turn in Fields of Mistria. No, I’m not talking about the?? development variety, I mean the tiny creatures with six (or more) legs that ??crawl, fly, and flap around the town ready to be caught using the Bug Net. 

As part of the first major update on November 18, a few new collections were added to the Museum and one of them requires you to gather up bugs that spawn in more than one season. There are a fair few of these multi-season insects to work through, and it can be a?? little overwhel?ming trying to figure out which spawns when. 

All multi-season bugs in Fields of Mistria

There are two different types of inter-seasonal bugs in Fields of Mistria - those that spawn all year round, and ?those that can spawn in any season other than Winter. There are also Mines bugs, which are also multi-season, as the weather doesn’t quite penetrate below the ground. 

Bugs in Fields of Mistria also have specific time and weather restraints to think about. If you’re confused, don’t worry, here’s all the bugs you need to consider if you’re trying to fill out the Multi-Season Insects collection at the Museum.?? 

Year round bugs

The following bugs can spawn during any season, and most don’t have any specific spawn conditions. The Fuzzy Moth is an outsider here, and is slightly harder to ??catch than any of the other bug??s that can be caught at any time. For the most part, if you want to catch these bugs, you’ll need to spend a lot of time at the Beach south of Sweetwater Farm. 

Spring, Summer, and Fall bugs

??These bugs are apparently not hardy enough to brave the col??d of the Winter months like their Beach loving cousins, and you’ll mostly find them in the center of Mistria and the surrounding areas. 

The Speedy Snail could also be considered a Spring, Summer, and Fall bug as it can?? spawn i??n any season. However, as it is a Legendary Bug, it is infuriatingly hard to find and belongs to the Legendary Insect collection at the Museum.

Bugs in the Mines

While bugs found within the Mines have their own collections at the Museum, it’s worth including them here as they are technically all-season bugs. They don’t have ?to worry about the rain, cold, or how windy it happens to be, so they can l??ive their best lives down in the dark.

The post All multi-season Insects and where to find th??em in Fields of Mistria appeared first on Destructoid.

One of the best things about Fields of Mistria is the ability to almost endlessly customize your character. Not only can you change your features at will?? via the menu, but you can change your outfit to suit your mood.&nbs?p;

There are a huge number of cosmetic items in Fields of Mistria, including?? accessories, clothing, and hairstyles. A number of options are available as soon as you begin a new game, but the fun really begins when you start finding new items in the mines, or for purchase at various locations. 

When you find a new cosmetic item, you’ll need to hold down ‘Eâ€?to learn it, and then you’ll always be able to use it in the character customization menu. Once you’ve learned a cosmetic, you won’t be able to find or purchase the same? cosmetic again. For purchasable cosmetics, this does mean that stalls regularly end up ?with nothing to sell, but future updates promise additional cosmetics to come. 

How to change your appearance in Fields of Mistria

To change your appearance in Fields of Mistria, open up the menu and then select the Character tab. On the right-hand side, you’ll be able to click o??n each individual part of your outfit and then choose what you want to wear. 

Most items will then allow you to c?hoose a color, and there are an entire rainbow ??of colors to choose from. Any changes are automatically saved, so you just need to exit the menu to see your new look. 

All cosmetics in Fields of Mistria

If you’re looking for some outfit inspiration, or ju??st want to know what you can find and how, here’s a full list of all cosmetics in Fields of Mistria. 

Accessories

Accessories are items that are worn on the head or face, and while many are purchased from the stalls at the Saturday Market for 500 Tesserae each, some can be found when exploring the Mines, as rewards for increasing the Town Rank, or for completing sets of Artifacts at the Museum.

Clothing

There are a lot of clothes in Fields of Mistria, and you’re likely to end up spoiled for choice once you’ve begun to build up a solid collection. Again, these come from a variety of locations, but items purchased at the Saturday Market or at Balor’s Wagon cost a fixed price of 500 Tesserae. 

Hairstyles

While most hairstyles are fully unlocked from? the very beginning of a playthrough, there is still a selection that's available to purchase from Vera’s Stall at the Saturday Market for 500 Tesserae:

• Short Parted Curls
• Short Parted Straight
• Straight Buns Fringed
• Afro Puffs
• Straight Pompadour
• Shaggy Bob
• Wavy Rugged
• Rounded Afro
• Medium Half Bun Fringe
• Medium Pigtails
• Straight Long Twin Buns
• Wavy Medium Twin Buns
• Wavy Long Twin Buns
• Dreadlock Twin Buns
• Straight Long Twin Buns
• Straight Long Bun
• Wavy Long Ponytail
• Medium Half Bun

The Chicken Statue is an excellent source to earn different rewards in Fields of Mistria, which includes loot items and cosmetics.

Located in the Sweetwater Farm, it doesn't take too long to come across the statue. You can make your offerings by in??teracting with the statue, which will require you to spend some Beads. Let's take a look at all the available ??rewards you can get, which include special cosmetics.

Disclaimer: List to be updated based on Update 0.12.

Complete list of Fields of Mistria Chicken Statue rewards

Once you interact with the Chicken Statue, you'll have to spend Beads to get the rewards. The rewards are random, but they are affected by the in-game season. You can spend 10 or 100 Beads, depending on the possi??ble reward you want to obtain.

Once we have found out all the new rewards and ?their corresponding requirements, you'll find them added to the table mentioned above.

While the cosmetics are certainly unique, loots having recipes and raw materi??als can be quite useful. The recipes are required to cre?ate the items, that in turn, need the raw materials.

As part of the first major update to Fields of Mistria, a new type of area was added within the Mines c?alled Ritual Chambers. Alongside this, a new Artifact set was added to the Museum to be completed, and the two are intrinsically linked. 

Ritual Chambers seem to be exceptionally rare, with my first ever Ritual Chamber showing up after three in-game days of constantly descending into the depths of the Mines. You’ll also need to put a lot of effort in before you can ??even unlock their ability to spawn.&nbs??p;

How to find Ritual Chambers in Fields of Mistria

Before you can find Ritual Chambers, you’ll first need to unlock them. They’re part of the level 45 mining perk called “Lost to History� so you’re going to be doing a lot of mining before you can purchase the perk. Once you've done some gri?nding and reached this high level, you’ll be able to interact with the statue in the entrance to the Mines and unlock the “Lost to History�perk for 155 Essence. 

After that, everything is down to luck and RNG. There is no minimum level where a Ritual Chamber can spawn within the Mines, with my first spawning at level 19 and further ones at levels ?32 and 54. The best method to maximize your chances of findin??g a Ritual Chamber is to start at level 0 and continue descending through the levels with your fingers crossed that one appears. 

You’ll know when you’ve found a Ritual Chamber because it will be a mostly empty room with no enemies (including the new Mimic enemy), and just a larg?e archaic, cauldron-esque pot in the middle. Interacting with this pot will cause it to throw out an Artif?act. 

Each of the Artifacts thrown out by the pots is part of the Ritual Artifact Set in the Museum, so make sure to hand them in as soon as you acquire them. These artifacts can only be found in Ritual Rooms, so it's definitely something to aim towards.

I haven’t managed to collect all of the items as of yet, but I’ll u??pdate this with their identities a?nd the reward for handing in all five as soon as I do.

Mounts are an exciting new feature added to Fields of Mistria as part of the first ?major update on November 18. Not only do you get a default mount, but you can also ride around on your own large animals, as long as you meet certain requirements. 

Unlocking your first mount can’t be done until you’ve com??pleted a relatively lar??ge chunk of the main story of Fields of Mistria, and you’ll need to complete all of the following tasks:

• Repair the Bridge
• Repair the Mill
• Upgrade the General Store
• Repair the Beach Bridge
• Replenish Mistria’s emergency food supply
• Upgrade Hayden’s Barn
• Find the Hayden’s Weathervane and return it to him

After doing all of that, you can finally move on to getting your hands on???? a mount that can give you a hefty speed boost. 

How to get a mount in Fields of Mistria

During the “Find the Weathervaneâ€?quest, you’ll get your first glimpse of a new and mysterious Horse Statue th??at was also unearthed during the wind storm that took the Wea?thervane from the roof of Hayden’s Barn. This statue is your key to getting mounts. 

Either before or after you’ve returned the Weathervane to Hayden, interact with the Horse Statue to trigger a cutscene. In this cutscene, you’ll be int?roduced to your first mount �Mistmare

Aft??er the cutscene, you’ll have a new icon on the bottom right side of the screen, with an associated key that you can press to summon your new mount. By default, this is the ��??key on your keyboard. If you want to change this, you can do so by opening up the settings and navigating to controls, then scrolling down to find “Mount� You can re-assign the default button, and also assign a secondary hotkey. 

Your mount can be summoned while you’re outside at any time. There is no cooldown period between summonings, so you can hop on and off of your horse as?? many times as you like. Using the mount increases your movement speed dramatically, and also lengthens the distance of your jumps. 

Mount skill perks in Fields of Mistria

As well as improving your movement speed, mounts can be so much more useful if you unlock all of the mount perks available by interacting with the Horse Shrine in the same way that you would Caldarus�Statue on your farm. There are currently three in total, and each offers something incredibly worthwhile. You’ll need to spend a hefty amount of Essence to unlock them, but they’re definitely worth ??it.

Here are the three skill perks, what? they offer, and how much Essence you’ll need to part with to unlock them:

How to change your mount appearance in Fields of Mistria

Before you can change the appearance of your mount, you’ll need to unlock the “Nice Ride??â€?perk at the Horse ?Shrine. After that, you’ll be able to change the appearance of your mount to any owned large animal that has a friendship level of more than 5 hearts. 

To change the appearance of your mount, open up the main menu and select the Animals tab. Your mount will be at the top of the list of anima??ls on the right-hand side. Click on the mount, and then on the drop-down menu on the left side of the screen. 

All anima??ls that have a friendship level of 5 or more will be listed here. Select the animal that you want to ride, and your mount's appearance will change. It’s worth noting that you retain all unlocked perks regardless of which animal you’re riding. You can also choose a new name for your mount in the same menu.

There are a lot of fish to catch in Fields of Mistria, and many of them have seasonal restrictions. However, there ar??e a certain number of fish that can be caught in multiple seasons and as part of the first major update, these fish have their own collection at the Museum. 

Prior to the update, any fish (or Insect) that?? appeared during more than one season was not included in any Museum collection. This new addition gives a whole new reason to hunt down all of these fish, but it can be hard to know what you’re looking for. 

So, with this in mind, let’s go through all of the fish that can be found during more than one season, where you’ll find them, and all the other details that you’ll need in your endeavors to complete the Museum.

All multi-season fish in Fields of Mistria

All season fish

Rather than being limited to just a couple of seasons, these fish can be caught at a??ny time of the year and are possibly the easiest to find. 

Spring and Fall fish

These four fish (??and one frog) will only spawn during Spring and Fall, so you’re out of luck if you’re in the middle of Summer or the snow is falling. 

Summer and Winter fish

There are seven fish and one frog that spawn only duri??ng Summer and Winter. Unlike the previous multi-season fish, there is one here that has weather restrictions associated. 

Cave fish

Although these fish fall into their own category within the Museum, they also don’t have any seasonal restrictions and can be found at any time, so they deserve? to be included here. 

The post All multi-season ?fish and ?where to find them in Fields of Mistria appeared first on Destructoid.

As part of the first major update to Fields of Mistria, new main story quests were added that enable you to get new features. O??ne such quest i??s “Find the Weathervaneâ€? which will eventually enable you to use animals as mounts. 

This quest will only become available at a certain point after you've done a significant amount of ??town improvement. You'll need to have completed all of the following:

• Repair the Bridge
• Repair the Mill
• Upgrade the General Store
• Repair the Beach Bridge
• Replenish Mistria’s emergency food supply
• Upgrade Hayden's Barn

At some point after Hayden?’s barn is enlarged, an overnight event will occu??r and a “strong wind�will blow through Mistria. When you step outside of your house the morning after, Hayden will pay you a visit. 

He’ll make sure that everything is okay with y??ou, before admitting that the Weathervane from his new Barn was blown off by the wind. He’ll ask you to go and look for it, before handily stating that the wind was blowing in a northerly direction.

I’m not sure how he knows what direction th?e wind was heading, but this information very usefully narrows down your search to somewhere in The Narrows. 

How to find the Weathervane in Fields of Mistria

To find the Weathervane, head up into The Narrows and make your way to t??he platform just north of Errol’s Cabin. Then, make your way to the left. Here you'll find a big rock (it's new), along with Hayden’s Weathervane lying on the ground in front of a new and mysterious Horse Statue. The location is marked below on the map:

Once ?you’ve got the Weathervane, track down Hayden and give it back to him. He’ll thank you for your efforts and return to his Barn to replace it before Ryis and Landen notice that it’s gone. This? is pretty much all there is to this quest, but you can now go and interact with the Horse Statue and see what happens. 

No spoilers here.

You've probably heard about the Mimic monsters if you're a big Dungeons and Dragons fan. They're known for their trickster ways, disguising themselves as a chest to lure you in for a treat. Fields of Mistria's Mimics fu??nctions similarly, but fortunately, there is a way to defeat them.

Here's how to eliminate the Mimic and collect its rewards in Fields of Mistria.

How to get rewards from a Mimic in Fields of Mistria

You can find Mimics deep in the caves of Mistria, typically after the Mine's Level 15. They'll look like any standard chest, just without a lock (it will move, too). To defeat it without getting hurt, you must throw a meal at it by pressing the 'G' button. Ensure not to press Interact, as it will cause th??e Mimic to attack you.

Based on my experience, any meal seems to work, whether you've cooked it up yourself or purchased one at the restaurant or shop. Approach the ?Mimic with the recipe on hand and throw it, resulting in the creature eating it shortly after. It will then spit out valuable rewards, including gold, artifa?cts, and other resources. The first time I defeated the Mimic, it gave me the Scrap Metal Chestpiece, but it will always change up depending on your playthrough.

You may receive higher-valued rewards when progressing further into the Mines. Higher levels will require various seals, including Water and Earth, allowing you to pass Levels 20 and 40.

If you don't have a meal to defeat the Mimic, you can press the Interact button to collect a few coins. Although you'll get hurt by its attacks t??his way, it'll at least offer you some money. Mine monsters, in general, also have a rare chance to drop new cosmetics for your collection. Plus, the latest Ritual Chamber rooms offer even more collectibles.

Besides Fields of Mistria's Mimic, you may encounter the new Essence Bat. Watch out for its damaging sonic wave, and try to take it down using a sword. If you kill it, it will drop a Monster Wing or Essence Drop, which i?s used in various crafting recipes.

The life of a farmer can get pretty lonely,? especially if you'??ve got a big ole' plot of land with no one to share it with. Fortunately, thanks to the lineup of Mistria's eligible bachelorettes and bachelors, you don't have to go at it alone.

So, if you're ready to put yourself out there, here are all the romance options in Fields of Mistria.

Romance characters and gift preferences in Fields of Mistria, explained

Step into the dating world of Mistria with the various single and ready-to-mingle characters. Currently, 10 bachelors and bachelorettes are available upon star?t, with two more who have yet to make their mark.

Although the two characters haven't been revealed, it could have something to do with Caldarus, the Guardian of Mistria. This character, in particular, has a heart symbol in its dialogue, which typically links to a romanceable option. The Priestess from the Mines may also be another potential partner, but it still hasn't been confirmed yet. Given that Fields of Mistria is s?till in Early Access, these two mystery dates could be arriving at a later time. I'll explore the new update to see if they're available, so check? back here for more details.

We'll break down each romanceable character in Fields of Mistria, including their gift preferences.

There are sure to be more romance options and gift preferences in Fields of Mistria, so I'll upda??te this guide the more? I play through the game.  

What is the max Heart Level cap in Fields of Mistria?

Fields of Mistria's first major update raises the Heart Level cap from four to six hearts. Use the gifts shown above or speak to the romanceable characters dai?ly to reach this maximum level. Those who accomplish this feat may unlock the additional six Heart Events from the new update, triggering unique scenes with your special someone.

A future update will raise the Heart Level max cap to 10, offering more Heart Events to unlock. Marriage and children are also on the horizon, likely available after Level 10. However, these features may not arrive until Fields of Mistria's full release, which has yet to have an official launch?? date.

How to unlock Shooting Star Festival date in Fields of Mistria

FoM Version 0.12.0 provides an exclusive date through the Shooting Star Festival. This event arrives on Summer 28 via the in-game calendar.

You must also complete the Beautification Project and reach Heart Level 4 to unlock the Shooting Star Festival date. Progress through the main storyline to trig??ger the Beautification Project sometime after the Mill Restoration Project.

The Update trailer showcases a glimpse of the date, taking you over to the cliffside of The Summit. Enjoy a romantic night out and watch the shooting stars with your alluring partner. It's the perfect way to prepare for Fields of Mistria's marriages, sett??ing up your Heart Levels fo?r its upcoming release.

• Vendors no longer say regular daytime dialogue when packing up
• Updated speaker info to correct NPC for specific dialogues

Sound

• All doors now make the correct closing sound

Crash Fixes

• Initiating a conversation with an NPC while transitioning into a cutscene no longer causes a crash
• Placing down two adjacent fences on top of a hay bale no longer crashes the game
• Placing furniture in specific spots that interferes with The Unusual Tree cutscene on Spring 2 no longer crashes the game. Any furniture interfering with the cutscene will now be returned to item form and can be picked up after the cutscene ends

The post Fields of Mistria wins Patch Magazine’s Game of the Year appeared first on Destructoid.

In Fields of Mistria, Saturday might be the best da?y of the week, because that’s when the Saturday Market comes to town and you have a chance to get your hands on items th?at you can’t usually get. 

The Saturday Market can also be incredibly helpful if you have request items to hand in, or simply want to get your daily conversation in with each villager, because everyone congregates in the middle ??of town to do some shopping. 

How to unlock the Saturday Market in Fields of Mistria

Before you can peruse the stalls of the Saturday Market and spend all of your Tesserae, you’ll need to repair the bridge. When you first begin a playthrough, the bridge that you hop o?ver with Balor has been dama?ged in the recent earthquake, and without the bridge, the vendors for the Saturday Market can’t get into town. 

The quest to repair the bridge will arrive in the mail on Spring 3 of the first year, and you’ll need the?? following resources to complete it:

• 60 Wood
• 60 Stone

How many stalls are there at the Weekend Market?

Currently, there are four stalls at the Weekend Market in Fields of Mistria:

• Merri’s furniture stall
• Louisâ€?clothing stall
• Vera’s hair salon
• Darcy’s café

Items available at each stall will vary week on week and both Louis�and Vera’s stalls will stop selling items once you’ve p?urchased everything that’s currently on offer. Darcy and Merri will continue selling their ready-made items, but they will stop selling recipes once all currently available ones have ??been purchased.

Everything sold at Merri’s furniture stall at the Saturday Market

Merri has, by far, the most items available for purchase of all the Saturday Market vendors. There’s a lot of furniture and decorative items?? to choose from, as well as a lot of crafting recipes available.&n??bsp;

Furniture and decor items

The following items will permanently be available from Merri’s stall, but exact stock for sale will vary week?? on week. Each item comes in a few different co?lors, with each option being sold separately:

Crafting recipes

Each item sold at Merri’s s?tall also has a corresponding crafting recipe, which she also sells f??or 300 Tesserae each. 

Unlike the ready-made items, purchasing and unlocking a crafting recipe will allow you to make all of the different color versions of each item, making the recipes much better value than buying the it?ems outright even if the recipe is more expensive than the item.

Everything sold at Louis�clothing stall at the Saturday Market

Louis is a legendary tailor who, if the villagers are to be believed, has filled their wardrobes with everything they wear. Once you’ve purchased anything from Louis, it will disappear from his rotation, until you eventually clear out his entire stock. At this point, his stall will remain empty each week unti??l further items are added in future patches. 

When you’ve purchased an item from Louisâ€?stall, you’ll need to use it from within your inventory to learn it. After this, it will become available as an option in the character customization me?nu. 

The following items are available to purchase from Lou??is, each costing 500 Tesserae:

Full outfits and dresses:

• Maid Dress
• Overalls
• Overall Shorts
• Overall Skirt

Tops:

• Buttoned Tanktop
• Ringer Tee
• Striped Long Sleeve

Skirts:

• Scalloped Skirt
• Short Pleated Skirt

Socks and shoes:

• Dressy Stockings
• Sneakers

Hats and accessories:

• Cat Ears
• Devil Horns
• Hoop Earrings
• Lily Pad Hat
• Striped Bow
• Striped Bucket Hat
• Tangerine Hat

Everything sold at Vera’s hair salon at the Saturday Market

Vera sel??ls additional hairstyles and accessories, each of which costs 500 Tesserae. As with Louisâ€?clothing stall, items will disappear from her rotation when they’ve been purchased, eventually leading to her selling nothing at all. 

Once you’ve purchased an item from the following list, you’ll need to use it from your inventory to learn it and u??nlock it in the character customization menu:

Hairstyles:

• Afro Puffs
• Short Parted Curls
• Straight Pompadour
• Straight Buns Fringed
• Rounded Afro
• Wavy Rugged
• Medium Half Bun Fringe

Accessories:

• Moon Hair Clips
• Bat Wing Hair Clips
• Strawberry Hair Clips
• Angel Wing Hair Clips
• Star Hair Clips

Everything sold at Darcy’s café at the Saturday Market

Darcy sells a range of sweet treats and drinks, as well as a select?ion of cooking recipes. The ready-made items that she sells will permanently be available, although stock will vary week on week. 

If you’re hoping to make the most of the fact that a??ll of the villagers are in one place, buyin??g liked or loved gifts at Darcy’s stall is a good way to get a boost of friendship points each Saturday. 

Food and drinks

Recipes

As soon as you purchase a cooking recipe from Darcy’s café, it will disappear from her rotation of stock, eventually leading her to selling no recipes at all??.

Will we get more vendors at the Saturday Market?

According to the early access roadmap from NPC?? Studio, there will be more Saturday Ma?rket vendors coming to Mistria at some point in a future update, but it’s not been confirmed when this will happen. 

It’s not due to arrive as part of the first planned major update, which is expected before the end of 2024, but it is included in the future update plan. There is s?ome knowledge o??f who these vendors will be, but more information will become available closer to the time they’re added. 

The post Fields of Mistria: Ful??l Saturday Market guide, including all vendors and stock appeared first on Destructoid.

There are a lot of resources in Fields of Mistria, and a lot (though definitely not all) of items can be purchased from one of the various v??endors. The General Store is a gr?eat first place to look if you’re hunting for something.

There are two types of stock at the General Store, permanent and seasonal. Permanent stock includes furniture, t??ools, and ingredients, while seasonal stock is all of the seeds that you can use to grow crops on the Far?m.

The stock displayed at the beginning of a playthrough is not the full list of items which can be purchased, as further stock is added after you upgrade the General Store as part of the main story quest “Repair the General Storeâ€? 

Permanent stock at the General Store in Fields of Mistria

Before you upgrade the Store, there are still a lot of items which can be purchased the?re. It’s where you’ll need to go to get basic tools, and the first seeds you need to s??tart your farming business.

Ingredients

Ingredients are permanently in stock at the General Store regardless of the season. You’ll only really need to purchase these ingredients prior to repairing the Mill as part of the main story quests, but it’s st?ill handy to be able to go back and get them if you’re running low on resources or are out of season to grow them.

After ?repairing the General Store, only one further ingredient bec?omes available:

• Honey (100 Tesserae)

Tools

If you’re looking for your first tools, or have made the mistake of thinking that your Shipping Bin is a storage chest like I did d??uring my first playthrough, you can get them from the General Store. Again, these are always in stock and have no seasonal limitations.

Note: You get the Worn Axe, Worn Pickaxe, and Worn Bug Net through completing quests. These currently cannot be purc??hased back if you accidentally sell them, so make sure to keep them close to you at all times.

After you’ve repaired the Store, you’ll also be able to purchase the second Bag Upgrade, which will set you back 2,000 Tesserae.

Furniture 

There?? are limited p?ieces of furniture available to purchase from many vendors, including the General Store, but most decorative items are crafted after unlocking the recipes. Regardless of the season, you can always purchase the following items at the General Store.

Once you’ve repaired the General Store, you’ll be able to get he following additi?onal recipes, ??which allow you to make signposts for individual crops in each season:

• Spring Crop Sign Scroll Bundle (500 Tesserae)
• Summer Crop Sign Scroll Bundle (500 Tesserae)
• Fall Crop Sign Scroll Bundle (500 Tesserae)
• Winter Crop Sign Scroll Bundle (500 Tesserae)

Seasonal stock at the General Store in Fields of Mistria

This is when the items in stock start to change depending on the season you’re currently playing through. Only seeds which can be grown in the current season can be purchased from the store, so make sure to check back on day o??ne (or whenever you need to replant) in order to keep stocked up.

Spring seeds

The following seeds are available ??right from the beginning of a playt?hrough:

After upgrading the Store, you’ll also be able to purc?hase the ?following seeds:

Summer Seeds

Right from the beginning of a save file, you’ll be able to purchase the following?? seed?s during the Summer:

After the upgrade, the following two types of seeds also become available to b?uy:

Fall Seeds

If y??ou haven’t upgraded the store yet, you’ll be able to buy all of the following types ??of Seed:

And then after upgrading, the foll?owing two types of seeds become available??:

Winter Seeds

The following items are available regardless of?? whether you’ve upgraded the General Store, as doing so doesn’t add any further Winter Seeds to the stock:

Whether you’re trying to complete the Fish Wing in the Museum, or get through the Earth Seal door, there’s one fish you’ll need to find in Fields of Mistria â€?Archerfish. 

Thankfully, the Archerfish is a Mines fish, and that means that you don’t have any weather or seasonal restrictions when it comes to hunting it. Sadly, that doesnâ€??™t make it easier to find. As an uncommon fish, you’re likely to be fishing for a while before you come across this little spitter.

For context, Archerfish are a very real fish which will hunt its insect prey by shooting a stream of water at them from beneath the surface. While Archerfish in Fields of Mistria aren’t about to ?start spitting at you while you’re fishing, it’s a fun piece of trivia that I’ve never had an opportunity to share. And now you know. 

How to catch an Archerfish in Fields of Mistria

To find an Archerfish, you’re going to have to first unlock the Mines, reach level 20, and unlock the Water Seal. This will give you access to ?Tide Caverns (Floors 21 - 40), which is precisely where you??’ll need to be to catch an Archerfish. 

Archerfish have small shadows, but they’re not the only fish in the area with the same size shadow. The Sapphire Betta is another small fish caught in the Tide Caverns, and it is a common fish, so you’re likely to stock up on them while hunting for Archerfish. On the plus side, Sapphire Betta can also be donated to the Museum, can be ??given to Balor as a liked gift, and each one sells for 40 Tesserae. 

To make it easier on yourself, make sure to unlock the following Perks at Caldarus' Statue when they become available:

How to use Archerfish in Fields of Mistria

Outside of donation to the Museum, the only real use for an Archerfish is to make your way through the Earth Seal. This will provide access to Deep Earth (Floors 41 - 60 of the Mines), allowing y??ou to gather Silver Ore and Emeralds, as well as giving you the ability to catch more fish or bugs for the Museum.

If you’re a fan of chocolatey goodness and indulgence, then I’ve got good news for you. Fields of Mistria’s v0.11.6 update added a new and? gloriously decadent recipe to the game �Chocolate Cake.

Although Chocolate Cake itself isn’t new? to Mistria, having been sold at Darcy’s Stall and found in Treasure Chests previously, this is the first time that we can cook this tasty treat. This gooey, melt-in-the-middle dessert is a 3-star, level 20 recipe made in tier ??two Kitchens. It takes 40 minutes to cook, so make sure you leave enough time between starting the preparation and the end of day at 2 a.m., lest you pass out in the cake mix. 

How to get the Chocolate Cake recipe in Fields of Mistria

As with all things cakey in Fields of Mistria, the recipe for Chocolate Cake can be obtained from Darcy’s Stall at the Saturday Market. It’s among the most expensive recipes, and will set you back 400 Tesserae.

Remember, if you’ve not purc??hased all of the recipes on offer from Darcy’s Stall, you may have to wait a few weeks before Chocolate Cake shows up. 

How to make Chocolate Cake in Fields of Mistria

There are four necessary ingredients when it comes to making Chocolate Cake?, and they’re as you’d expect if you’ve ever made a cake in real life:

• 1 Chocolate

  • Has a chance to appear at Balor’s Wagon for 200 Tesserae. As this is a fairly common ingredient, or otherwise liked gift, I advise that you stock up on Chocolate whenever it appears for sale.

• 1 Flour

  • Produced at the Mill using 1 Wheat, or otherwise purchased at the General Store for 200 Tesserae
  • It’s possible for Flour to drop from any type of Treasure Chest

• 1 Sugar

  • Produced at the Mill using 1 Sugarcane, or otherwise purchased at the General Store for 115 Tesserae
  • It’s possible for Sugar to drop from any type of Treasure Chest

• 1 Egg

  • Dropped from female chickens
  • Can possibly be found for sale at Balor’s Wagon for 50 Tesserae
  • Possible reward after exchanging 10 Shiny Beads at the Chicken Statue

Is Chocolate Cake worth making in Fields of Mistria

Of all the new recipes, Chocolate Cake is possibly the most worthwhile. In terms of gifting, Eiland loves Chocolate Cake while March likes it, so if you give th??em Chocolate Cake, you’ll get 20 or 10 friendship points, respectively, at least. 

Once baked, Chocolate Cake sells for at least 470 Tesserae, which is a pretty profit if you’ve grown your own ingredients. In terms of energy and health, Chocolate Cake will restore 110 of each when consumed, which is more than enough to get you through a few levels of the Mines in good shape.

Pan Fried Bream is a recipe that was added to Fields of Mistria in the v0.11.6 update, and unlike some of the other recipes, this o?ne is very easy to cook from a relatively low level. Let’s look at where ??to get the recipe and ingredients. 

Thankfully, you don’t have to grind very hard before you can cook this fish-based meal. Pan Fried Bream is a 1-star, le??vel 2 recipe tha??????????????????????????t can be cooked at any tier of Kitchen. It takes 20 minutes to prepare. 

How to get the Pan Fried Bream recipe in Fields of Mistria

The recipe for this fish dinner can be purchased at the Sleeping Dragon Inn for 150 Tesserae. As with all other recipes which are sold by vendors, you may need?? to buy up all of the recipes on offer before this one shows ?up for sale. 

All rec?ipes that are sold at the Inn have an e??qual chance to show up on any day, so make sure to check back daily if you’re looking for this recipe or any other particular one. 

How to make Pan-Fried Bream in Fields of Mistria

You’re only going to need two ??ingredients to make t??his dish, and the main one can be found only in Summer:

• 1 Bream

  • Found in Rivers during the Summer with no weather or time restrictions. Bream is a fish with a large shadow. 

• 1 Oil

  • Purchased for 60 Tesserae from either Balor’s Wagon or the General Store. 
  • Can also drop from either Wooden or Copper Treasure Chests

Should I make Pan Fried Bream in Fields of Mistria?

Pan Fried Bream is definitely not the most popular gift in Fields of Mistria, but most villagers feel neutral about it, so you’ll get at least three friendship points with whoever you give it to. The exception to this is Hayden, who dislikes any fish or fish-based dishes.

When consumed, Pan-Fried Bream will restore only 24 energy and health, although this is still enough to save you if you’re in trouble down in the Mines. It sells for?? 80 Tesserae, which is a small profit compared? to the cost of Oil.

Iced Coffee isn’t new in Fields of Mistria, we’ve been able to buy it from Darcy’s Stall for a while. However, the recipe is now obtainable thanks to the v0.11??.6 update---here’s how to get it and how to mak?e this chilly caffeinated drink. 

Iced Coffee is a 2-star, level 10 cook??ing recipe that can be cooked at any tier of Kitchen, including the?? one in the Sleeping Dragon Inn. It takes 20 minutes to prepare, so avoid cooking it close to 2 a.m.

How to get the Iced Coffee recipe in Fields of Mistria

As with a lot of drink recipes, you’ll need to wait for Saturday to roll around if you want to unlock the Iced Co?ffee recipe because it’s sold ??at Darcy’s Stall at the Saturday Market for 300 Tesserae. 

Of course, this poses some problems, especially if you’ve not been buying up all the recipes she can carry. Make sure to buy all the recipes you see, but if this one doesn’t show up, you’ll need to wait f?or the next week. Restarting your game does not re-roll the recipes on offer. 

How to make Iced Coffee in Fields of Mistria

There are three different?? ingredients required to make Iced Coffee, only one of which requires a speci?fic season:

• 1 Ice Block

  • Foraged from around Mistria in the Winter. It’s usually found on the darker blue areas of ground around trees, and one spawns on the north bank of the river directly above the Farm. 

• 1 Milk

  • Dropped from female cows, or can otherwise be purchased from either the Sleeping Dragon Inn or Balor’s Wagon for 120 Tesserae. 
  • You can also potentially get Milk after exchanging 10 Shiny Beads at the Chicken Statue, or from Wooden Treasure Chests.

• 1 Coffee

  • Perhaps the most vital ingredient, you can get Coffee from either Darcy’s Stall at the Saturday Market, or from Balor’s Wagon, for 100 Tesserae
  • It’s also possible to get Coffee from Copper Treasure Chests

Is Iced Coffee worth making in Fields of Mistria?

While it isn’t on any of the villagers loved gift lists, it is liked by both Reina? and?? Ryis, so you can get at least 10 friendship points by giving it to them. 

Outside of this, Iced Coffee isn’t particularly useful when it comes to energy or health, only providing 10 of each when consumed. However, Iced Coffee will provide you with a speed boost if you drink it, so if the thought of hot Coffee doesn’t take your fancy, you could always substitute this chilled version. You could also sell it, as it sells for 105 Tess??erae.

Jasmine Tea is not a new type of Tea to Fields of Mistria, as we’ve previously been able to purchase it from Darcy ?during the Saturday Market. However, the v0.11.6 update added th?e recipe into the game, so now you can make it yourself.

Jasmine Tea is a 1-star, level 8 recipe and can be made by interacting with any tier of Kitchen. It takes 20 minutes to prepare, so make sure you don’t run out of time and pass out at 2 a.m. Here’s how to get it and how to make this aromatic beverage in Fields of Mistria.

How to get the Jasmine Tea recipe in Fields of Mistria

The Jasmine Tea recipe is, perhaps unsurprisingly, obtained from Darcy’s Stall at the Saturday Market for 150 Tesserae. If you’ve not been buying up all of her available recipes,? you might have to wait a few weeks bef??ore Jasmine Tea appears. ;

Each recipe sold by Darcy has an equal likelihood?? of appearing on any Saturday, and restarting the day does nothing to change which recipes are on offer, potentially making this one a litt??le difficult to get your hands on. 

How to make Jasmine Tea in Fields of Mistria

Despite being a floral recipe, you’ll need to gather ingredie?nts in two opposing seasons ??in order to make Jasmine Tea:

• 1 Tea

  • Grown on the Farm in Summer, with seeds being purchased from the General Store after it’s been upgraded for 150 Tesserae. It takes five days to mature and then reproduces every three days as long as it’s watered daily. 

• 1 Jasmine

  • Foraged around Mistria during Winter, or grown on the Farm during the same season. Jasmine Seeds can possibly drop while foraging wild Jasmine after unlocking the level 1 “Prepared Pickerâ€?Perk at Caldarusâ€?Statue.

Should you make Jasmine Tea in Fields of Mistria?

If you’re looki??ng for a good gift for either Elsie or Josephine, Jasmine Tea is loved by both o??f them. 

Outside of gifting, Jasmine Tea will sell for 185 Tesserae, and when consumed, will restore 34 health and stamina. While this isn’t groundbreaking, it will serve you well if you’re about to be knocked out by a Ore Clod or Enchantern down in the Mines.

The post How to make Jasmine Tea in Fields of Mistria appeared first on Destructoid.

As part of the v0.11.6 update in Fields of Mistria??, a number of new recipes were added. One of thes?e recipes is Rosemary Garlic Noodles, which will come in handy as a gift for a couple of villagers. 

Rosemary Garlic Noodles is the perfect Fall dish, made mostly with ingredients foraged or grown in Fall. Imagine dark evenings, a warm fireplace, and a lovely bowl of but??tery noodles. Delicious.

How to get the Rosemary Garlic Noodles recipe in Fields of Mistria

The recipe for Ro??semary Garlic Noodles can be purchased in the Sleeping Dragon Inn for 400 Tesserae, but you’ll need both luck and funds on your side, especially if you haven’t been purchasing the daily recipes which are sold there. 

All rec?ipes available for purchase at the Inn have an equal chance to show up for sale on any day, so you may need to buy a lot of recipes before you come across the one for Rosemary Garlic Noodles. Once unlocked, the recipe is listed under the “Main Coursesâ€?section when interacting with a Kitchen. 

How to make Rosemary Garlic Noodles in Fields of Mistria

Rosemary Garlic Noodles is a 3-star, l?evel 20 recipe, and must be cooked at a tier two kitchen. It takes 40 minutes to cook one se?rving, so make sure you’ve got plenty of time to make it without passing out at 2 a.m. by the stove.

To make Rosemary Garlic No??odles, you’ll need to find or make four ingredients:

• 1 Rosemary & 1 Garlic

  • Foraged around Mistria during Fall, or otherwise grown on your Farm during the same season. Seeds for each can possibly drop while foraging wild versions, after unlocking the level 1 “Prepared Pickerâ€?Perk at Calderusâ€?Statue.  

• 1 Noodles

  • Made at any Kitchen using 1 Flour, which can either be purchased from the General Store for 200 Tesserae or made at the Mill using 1 Wheat.

• 1 Butter

  • Made at the Mill using 2 Milk, or can possibly be obtained from the Chicken Statue after exchanging 10 Shiny Beads.

Is Rosemary Garlic Noodles worth making in Fields of Mistria?

If you’ve got all the ingredients, or you’re currently going through Fall, then Rosemary Garlic Noodles are an easy gift to give both Reina and Va?len, as it’s inclu??ded in both of their loved gifts. 

Outside of this, Rosemary Garlic Noodles will restore 60 health and stamina when consumed. While this isn’t the most rewarding meal in that sense, it will prevent you from being knocked out in the Mines if you find yourself in trouble.

NPG Studio has been very generous with its updates to Fields of Mistria thus far during early access, and this week gives us what might be the most exciting ??patch yet. 

This isn’t the first major update that was promised in the early access roadmap, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t incredibly exciting things included in the v0.11.6 patch, with everything from new items and recipes, to much-needed (and much-requested) qu??ality of life improvements.

Although it’s not the most exciting? of updates, and technically a small improvement, I’m most excited (and I know I’m not going to be alone in this) by the newly added ability to press and hold when it comes to purchasing multiples of the same it?ems or crafting multiples of the same recipe. Gone are the days of furious, repeated clicking. Glorious. 

Other than that, here’s everything added or changed in Fields of Mistria v0.11.6:

  • Pomegranate Juice
  • Iced Coffee
  • Jasmine Tea

Quality of life updates

• Robes and Coats subcategory has been added to the tops/body section in the Character Customization menu
• Capybara Leaf and Bowler Hat animal cosmetics can now only be obtained via the Chicken Statue, as opposed to from Hayden’s Shop

Bug fixes

• Various typo and dialogue line fixes

The post Fields ?of Mistria patch v0.11.6 adds new recipes, pronoun customization, and much needed QoL updates appeared first on Destructoid.

Reina is one of the many future romanceable villagers in Fields of Mistria and, like all of them, she comes with her own likes and dislikes. Giving her gifts that she loves increases your friendsh??ip with her faster, while giving Reina hated gifts won’t do you any favors. 

Reina is the daughter of Josephine and Hemlock, older sister to both Maple and Luc, and can usually be found in or around the Sleeping Dragon Inn. She loves to cook, and is a rich source of recipes if you complete some of her Request Board quests. 

Reina’s loved gifts in Fields of Mistria

With her love of cooking, it should come as no surprise that Reina loves receiving food-based gifts. Most of Reina’s loved dishes can be cooked using gathered resources, so I’ll list their recipes below. However, if you get lucky, you can find the dishes for sale at the Sleeping Dragon Inn or Balor’s Wagon on any day.
