How To Find and Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

Essence Stones, introduced in the March 2025 update for *Fields of Mistria*, are vital for several new in-game features. To make the most of these new additions, it's crucial to know how to find, craft, and utilize these stones effectively.

Where To Find Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

With the March 2025 update, *Fields of Mistria* players can now discover Essence Stones within chests scattered throughout the mines. I stumbled upon my first stone while searching for items to break the Fire Seal on Floor 60, but these chests can appear on any level across various biomes and floors. Be cautious of mimic enemies, which can look like chests but will harm you upon interaction.

Essence Stones come in four sizes: tiny, small, medium, and large. While smaller stones are more common, diligent exploration can lead to finding larger ones. If your searches come up short, consider crafting them using the Stone Refinery within the mines.

How To Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

Crafting Essence Stones is possible at the Stone Refinery, a new feature introduced in the March 2025 update. This facility becomes available after completing a specific story quest, where Adeline enlists your help alongside Olric and Errol to construct it within the mines.

To build the Stone Refinery, gather the following materials:

• x200 Wood
• x400 Stone
• x5,000 Tesserae

Once the refinery is operational, you can craft Essence Stones of various sizes using Stone and Essence. The amount of materials required varies with the size of the stone, as detailed in the table below:

The Stone Refinery also allows you to craft other common materials, Refined Stone, and rare items like Obsidian and Diamond, making it a central hub for crafting essential supplies for various projects in Mistria.

How To Use Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The March 2025 update brought the auto-petter and sprinkler mechanics to *Fields of Mistria*, both of which rely on Essence Stones. Larger stones provide a longer charge duration, with Large Essence Stones offering the most extended use.

The auto-petter mechanic is facilitated by the Animal Sprite Statue, which you can place in Large Barns and Coops. This statue ensures all animals are automatically petted daily when powered by an Essence Stone. You can find this statue in a hidden cave near Errol’s house in the Narrows, accessible by using the Dragon’s Breath spell on the entrance. Additional statues can be crafted once the item is unlocked.

The sprinkler mechanic is enabled by the Water Sprite Statue, which can be placed anywhere on your farm to water crops within a 2-tile radius when an Essence Stone is used. You can locate this statue and its crafting scroll on a small island east of the beach, beyond the Lighthouse area. Access the island by swimming and using Dragon’s Breath on the entrance.

As *Fields of Mistria* continues to evolve with updates from NPC Studio, Essence Stones are likely to play an increasingly important role in the game.
