As part of the second major update toFields of Mistria, two new items were added that are incredibly useful around the farm — Water Sprite and Animal Sprite Statues. Unfortunately, you’ll need a new type of resource called Essence Stones if you want to run them.
Essence Stones are a type of stone made using a combination of Stone and Essence, perhaps unsurprisingly. Before you can combine the two, you’ll need to build the Stone Refinery.
How to build the Stone Refinery in Fields of Mistria
Once you hit town rank 55, you’ll receive a letter in the mail from Adeline, asking you to meet her at the Mines. It turns out that with Mistria doing so well, the town can have its very own Stone Refinery. As with all other town upgrades, it’s down to us to provide both the resources and the funds for this project.
To build the Stone Refinery, you’ll need to put the following resources into the Donation Box by the entrance to the Mines:
When you’ve supplied all of the resources, you can head back to Adeline and talk to her to hand over 5,000 Tesserae. You’ll meet back up with her, Olric, and Errol at the Mines to construct the Stone Refinery to the right of the elevator.
How to get Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria
There are two ways to get Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria — you might get lucky and find them while toiling away in the Mines (this seems more likely at lower levels), or you can create them at the Stone Refinery using Stone and Essence.
There are four different sizes of Essence Stones, each needing a different amount of both Stone and Essence to create:
How to use Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria
Essence Stones are used to power both Water Sprite and Animal Sprite Statues. For those more familiar with Stardew Valley, these are identical to both the Auto-Petter and the Sprinkler respectively.
For these items to work, you’ll need to place an Essence Stone into them. Each different size of Essence Stone is capable of powering a Statue for a different amount of time:
If you’re running low on Essence and happen to find an Essence Stone in the Mines, you’re able to also consume it to gain some Essence. Each Essence Stone will give you the same amount of Essence as they take to make.
