Quick Links
As soon as you startFields of Mistria, you are faced with a grueling problem, which is the lack of Tesserae. You won’t be able to afford any luxuries as a beginner, but you can change that by making money quickly with a few strategies.
Your priority should be making as much money as you can without spending a lot to earn more profit. So, as a rookie, you will be focusing on getting items to sell from the natural resources. Once you have enough, you can then spend it on other necessities for your farm, such as seeds, animals, and various upgrades.
Completing Requests
Many characters willreward you with Tesseraeif youcomplete their requests. It’s one of thefastest ways to make a lot of money quickly, considering there are many simple quests at the start of the game. You only need to deliver a few items to your client to get some cash.
Even if you don’t get Tesserae out of quests, you can stillobtain some valuable itemsthatyou can sell.
Completing quests also helps you increase yourTown Rankquickly, so you’re able to obtain a huge amount ofTesserae from the rewards boxeach time you level up your Renown.
Foraging
Foraging lets you collect items from your natural surroundings even if you are short on cash. If you can’t invest in buying seeds or animals, your best bet is togather berries and flowers.
After youobtain a bug-catching net, you may even catch some insects, such asCaterpillars,to sell or donate to the museum.
Cooking
Cooking is an excellent method to gain more profit from your products.Cooked meals sell for morethan basic ingredients, so make sure to gather a lot of recipes and cook the items you have on hand to make a lot of money.
If youunlock the Perk “Waste Not Want Not,” you mightget one of the ingredients backafter cooking.
You don’t have to spend money to get a Kitchen as you canuse the one in the Innfor starters. A few recipes require some additional ingredients that you may need to purchase. We recommend you stick only to the recipes that use ingredients collected on your farm or through foraging.
You should makeBerries and Creamwith the Berries you Forage as it’s one of thesimplest recipesthat requires a few berries and milk.
Fishing
Fishing can help you make a lot of Tesserare so we recommend youbuy a shipping rod from Terithiaas soon as you can. You can earn a decent amount of money if yousell the fish youcatch.
If yourun out of stamina, you can restore it by taking somefree soup from the Inn once every day. Thismakes Fishing one of the most cost-efficient ways to get cash.
You might even spot somediving spotsin the water, and if you are lucky in a dive, you can even obtain a rare treasure chest containing a lot of Tesserae and valuables.
You candonate the caught fish to the Museumto get donation set rewards along with a little money.
Mining
You can obtainminerals and valuable gemsif you unlock theMines at Stone Town Rank.However, mining takes a lot of prior preparations, especially if you want to try exploring some deeper levels. You need to have somefood in your inventoryto restore your health and the equipment necessary to beat enemies.
Other than minerals and gems, you can also find some ingredients in the mine. Additionally, if you beat the monsters, they might drop some items that you can collect to sell.
It’s not a bad idea to store the gathered materials from the Mine in your storage chest as they may prove useful later in the game.
Crafting
Shipping crafted itemscan fetch you a decent amount of cash. Even if you chop wood and gather stone daily, you can use them to makefurniture and decorative itemsthat can be sold for a good price.
You can also craft someCopper Ingots, Tools, and Armourfor a huge profit.
Farming
Farming is still the main appeal of Fields of Mistria, and you will likely spend the most time working on your farm.Growing crops and flowersgenerate a lot of profit. There are a few crops, such asStrawberries, that will regrow after a few days, so if you plant some, you canearn cash without having to purchase the seeds again.
We recommend buying a few varieties of seeds, as this will help you quickly complete various requests that demand different crops.
You can alsobuy fruit treesto get fruits from them repeatedly. However, theytake a long time to growand only bear fruit in a specific season.
Animals may cost a lot at the start, considering the money you would spend on their care, so we recommend you buy some later in the game. Instead of buying feed, you cancut some grass around your farm to obtain Hay.
