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 your daily farming 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 discovered within chests located throughout the mines in *Fields of Mistria*. While I initially found one while searching for offering items to break the Fire Seal on Floor 60, chests can appear on any level and in any biome. Beware of mimic enemies disguised as chests—they'll inflict damage 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 you're struggling to locate them, you can craft them at the Stone Refinery once constructed.

How to Craft Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria

The Stone Refinery, added in the March 2025 update, allows you to craft Essence Stones. This requires completing a new story quest to build the refinery 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 quantities vary depending on the stone size:

**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

The Stone Refinery also 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 utilize Essence Stones, with larger stones providing longer durations. Large Essence Stones offer the longest charge.

The auto-petter, linked to the Animal Sprite Statue (found in a concealed cave near Errol's house, accessible using Dragon's Breath), automatically pets animals in Large Barns and Coops when an Essence Stone is inserted. The statue is also craftable.

The sprinkler mechanic uses the Water Sprite Statue (located on a small island east of the beach, also accessible via Dragon's Breath). This automatically waters crops within a 2-tile radius while powered by an Essence Stone. This statue is also craftable.

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