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 essential for several new features, making them a crucial resource for daily tasks. This guide covers finding, crafting, and using Essence Stones of various sizes.

Where to Find Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

Since the March 2025 update, Essence Stones have been discovered within chests located in the mines. While initially found 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 disguised as chests—they'll inflict damage upon interaction.

Essence Stones come in four sizes: tiny, small, medium, and large. Smaller stones are more common, but larger deposits exist with diligent searching. If hunting proves fruitless, consider crafting them at the Stone Refinery once constructed.

How to Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The Stone Refinery in Fields of Mistria enables Essence Stone crafting. This location is part of a new questline introduced in the March 2025 update, requiring its construction within the mines. After completing prerequisites, Adeline will enlist your help alongside Olric and Errol.

Building the Stone Refinery requires:

• x200 Wood
• x400 Stone
• x5,000 Tesserae

Once built, the refinery allows crafting of various sized Essence Stones. Each requires Stone and Essence, with the quantity varying by size (see table below).

**Tiny Essence Stone**	x5 Stone x5 Essence
**Small Essence Stone**	x10 Stone x25 Essence
**Medium Essence Stone**	x20 Stone x50 Essence
**Large Essence Stone**	x40 Stone x100 Essence

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

How to Use Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The March 2025 update introduced auto-petting and sprinkler mechanics. Both utilize Essence Stones, with larger stones providing longer durations. Large Essence Stones offer the most extended use.

The auto-petter, linked to the Animal Sprite Statue (placed in Large Barns and Coops), automatically pets animals daily when an Essence Stone is active. This rare statue is found in a concealed cave near Errol's house (using Dragon's Breath). Additional statues can be crafted after unlocking the item.

Similarly, the Water Sprite Statue unlocks the sprinkler mechanic, automatically watering crops within a 2-tile radius when powered by an Essence Stone. Multiple statues can be crafted to accommodate larger farms. This statue and its crafting scroll are located on a small island east of the beach, beyond the Lighthouse (requires Dragon's Breath to access).

Expect further Essence Stone applications in future Fields of Mistria updates from NPC Studio.
