How To Find and Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

Essence Stones are a new addition to *Fields of Mistria*, introduced in the March 2025 update. These stones are crucial for several new features, making them essential for daily farm tasks. This guide covers finding, crafting, and utilizing Essence Stones of various sizes.

Where to Find Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

Since the March 2025 update, Essence Stones can be found within chests located throughout the mines in Fields of Mistria. While initially discovered while searching for offering items to break the Fire Seal on Floor 60, these chests can appear on any level across all biomes and floors. Beware of mimic enemies—they look like chests but will attack if interacted with.

Essence Stones come in four sizes: tiny, small, medium, and large. Smaller stones are more common, but larger ones can be found with diligent searching. If your luck runs dry, you can craft them using the Stone Refinery.

How to Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The Stone Refinery, added with the March 2025 update, allows Essence Stone crafting. This refinery is part of a new questline, requiring its construction within the mines. After completing prerequisite quests, Adeline will enlist your help alongside Olric and Errol.

Building the Stone Refinery requires:

• 200 Wood
• 400 Stone
• 5,000 Tesserae

Once built, you can craft Essence Stones using Stone and Essence. The required amounts vary depending on the size:

Beyond Essence Stones, the refinery crafts various common materials, Refined Stone, and rare items like Obsidian and Diamond, making it a valuable crafting hub.

How to Use Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The March 2025 update introduced the auto-petter and sprinkler mechanics, both powered by Essence Stones. Larger stones provide longer durations.

The auto-petter, using the Animal Sprite Statue (placed in Large Barns and Coops), automatically pets animals daily while an Essence Stone is active. This rare statue is found in a concealed cave near Errol's house (use Dragon's Breath on the entrance). Additional statues can be crafted once unlocked.

The sprinkler mechanic uses the Water Sprite Statue, automatically watering crops within a 2-tile radius. The statue and crafting scroll are located on a small island east of the beach, beyond the Lighthouse (use Dragon's Breath to access the hidden area). Multiple statues can be crafted.

Expect more Essence Stone uses in future *Fields of Mistria* updates from NPC Studio.
