The Farm Expansion extends your farm's width across the river to the right, providing an additional piece of land for more structures and crop spaces. To purchase this expansion, head over to the **Carpenter’s Shop** located on the Eastern Road. You can buy it as early as your first year, but you need to meet specific progress requirements first.
To unlock the expansion, you must help the town reach **Rank 55** by earning sufficient Renown points. Additionally, you'll need to complete the Stone Refinery repair quest, which also requires Town Rank 55. These steps are interconnected, ensuring a steady progression in your journey to expand your farm.
Once these prerequisites are met, you'll need to gather the materials required for the expansion. Be prepared for a significant investment, as it's one of the largest undertakings in the game.

Visit the Carpenter’s Shop on the Eastern Road, northeast of Mistria’s town center. From the shop’s main menu, select ‘Farm Expansion’ to view the requirements for the upgrade.
First, you’ll need **40,000 Tesserae** to cover the monetary cost. Accumulating this amount will take time, so focus on gathering resources, farming, and completing quests. Regularly visit the Mines, fish whenever you can, and contribute new items to the Museum to increase your earnings.
Next, you'll need **50 x Refined Stone**, which requires you to repair the **Stone Refinery**. This repair can only be done after reaching Town Rank 55 and repairing the Inn beforehand.
Finally, gather **50 x Hard Wood**, the easiest material to collect. Once you have a **Copper Axe**, chop the large tree stumps around your farm and beyond, each yielding 2 x Hard Wood. You can also obtain this material from **Balor’s Cart** on certain days or by turning in items to the Museum.
Once you have all the required materials and funds, return to the Carpenter’s Shop and purchase the expansion. This will extend your farm eastward across the river, complete with a new bridge for easy access.
