How to get ‘sprinklers’ in Fields of Mistria

If you want to automatically water your crops in Fields of Mistria, you’ll need to get a water sprite statue, which is the game’s equivalent to what similar games would call sprinkler. This is a late-ish game item, added in version 0.13.0, so note that you’ll need quite a handful of resources and story progression to get a lot of them.

Just like sprinklers in a certain other pixel farm games, water sprite statues water tiles in a two-tile radius, so you’ll want to put yours in the center of a five-by-five square for maximum coverage.

Below, we explain how to unlock “sprinklers” in Fields of Mistria (water sprite statues) and how to make more of them.

How to unlock sprinklers in Fields of Mistria

In order to unlock the recipe for the water sprite statue, you’ll need to get to level 60 of the mines and interact with the tablet to start the “Breaking the Fire Seal” questline. From here, you’ll be guided with what to do: talk to Juniper, wait on Balor, give some items to him, and then present said items to the altar. Some cutscenes will play out, and you’ll be gifted a new ability: Dragon’s Breath. (You will also unlock Caldarus as a romance candidate by completing this quest.)

You’re going to want to use the Dragon’s Breath ability on a secret cave by the beach. To get there, jump off the cliff to the east and you should see the entrance in the northeast:

Use the Dragon’s Breath ability and make sure to aim upwards after using it, so you’re blasting those rocks away with the fire. After this, the cave will open, allowing you to claim a water sprite statue and the recipe to make more from the chest.

How to make more water sprite statues in Fields of Mistria

While you’ll get one for free, to make more, you’ll need a bit more progression in the game in order to unlock the Stone Refinery:

• Reach level 55 renown.
• Complete the “Repair the Inn” story quest.

After completing the above, you should get a letter from Adeline talking about meeting in front of the mines to make a Stone Refinery. After doing so, you’ll be able to make cut stone and essence stones at the refinery, which you’ll need to make and power the water sprite stuates.

You’ll need to place essence stones on the statues in order to power them. The bigger the essence stone, the longer it’ll be powered up, so we recommend making the biggest ones for the sake of convenience. You can also find essence stones in treasure chests in the mines, if you’re lucky.

With your cut stone and essence stones in hand, head back to your crafting bench to make your water sprite statues using the following materials:

• 10 cut stones
• 50 essence
• 3 ash mushrooms/3 purple mushrooms/3 temple flowers/3 sea grapes/3 thorn vines

The last item varies depending on what sprite statue design you want, but there is no other difference between the statues. Ash mushrooms and purple mushrooms come from the lava caves (mine floors 61-79), temple flowers and thorn vines are foragables from The Deep Woods, and sea grapes are from the Tide Caverns (mine floors 21-39).
