Fields of Mistria Guide: Farming, Magic and More

Game Information

Fields of Mistria is a single-player farming and life simulation RPG developed and published by NPC Studio. The player settles on an overgrown farm near the fictional town of Mistria after an earthquake damages the area. Progress combines farm work, community rebuilding, exploration, relationships, combat and magic.

What the game is about

The central story follows Mistria as it recovers from an earthquake and strange magic begins to flow through the land. Town leaders offer the player a plot of land in exchange for assistance with the recovery. This gives everyday activities a wider purpose: farm improvements and town progress develop together.

The game was influenced by Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Its character art also draws from anime, including Sailor Moon. These influences describe the development background; they do not mean the game is officially connected to those properties.

Farming and daily life

The supplied research confirms farming, animal breeding, crafting, gifting, fishing, mining and relationships as core systems. Players can customize their character, including name, birthday and pronouns, as well as the farm and house. Each day begins with information about birthdays and special events.

The town request board offers quests that can be completed for rewards. Villagers and festivals can also provide quests. Exact reward tables and an optimal daily schedule are not present in the supplied material and remain To be confirmed.

Town progress and collections

Helping the community raises the town's rank and unlocks benefits. Players can also donate flora, insects, artifacts and fish to the museum. These systems reward varied play rather than requiring every day to focus only on crop profit.

Mistria's residents have their own routines and preferences. The map can display real-time villager positions, making it easier to find people during the day. Friendship can improve through conversation and gifts, and romance options are not locked by the player character's gender.

Magic and exploration

Caldarus, a dragon statue, is connected to the town's magical side. Farming, fishing and gathering can provide essence used with a skill tree and useful abilities. Mana unlocks later and supports spells that heal, restore energy, grow crops or summon rain.

The game also includes combat and ancient ruins. The approved source material confirms these systems but does not contain a full dungeon floor guide, enemy table or spell-unlock chart. Those specifics remain To be confirmed until an authoritative source is added.

Development and release

NPC Studio began developing Fields of Mistria in 2019. A demo was available in June 2024, and early access began on Windows through Steam on August 5, 2024. The supplied research states that version 1.0 launches on August 5, 2026.

The game is available for Windows PC and is Steam Deck compatible. Future console ports have been discussed, but specific platforms and release dates are not confirmed in the approved material. Check the dedicated release and Steam pages for the facts currently verified by this wiki.
