How to get and use Essence Stones in Fields of Mistria
As part of the second major update to Fields 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.

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: 200 Wood 400 Stone When you’ve supplied all of the resources, you can head back to Adeline and talk to her to hand over 5,000 Tesserae.
