Getting Started
Fields of Mistria puts you in the shoes of a new resident in Mistria, an idyllic village between forest and sea. After an earthquake wreaks havoc and strange magic flows through the land, it's up to you to restore the town. Start by clearing your farm, meeting villagers, and learning the basics of farming, fishing, and mining.
First Week
Your First Week Priorities
- Clear your farm plot and plant spring crops (Turnips are cheap and fast).
- Meet as many villagers as possible — talk to everyone for initial friendship.
- Start foraging — flowers, herbs, and mushrooms are loved gifts for many villagers.
- Visit the mines once unlocked — ore is needed for tool upgrades.
- Check the Request Board daily for easy friendship and reward gains.
- Fish when you have spare time — useful for gifts and museum donations.
