InFields of Mistria, you’ll be left to your own devices to run a farm after leaving the bustling capitol city. There are dozens of new neighbors for you to meet, and well as plenty of secrets to uncover. One thing you’ll need to expand your farm and make it successful is a shovel.

While the basic tools will be given to you during your first few days, a shovel is not among them. You won’t need it right away, but the sooner you can collect all the tools, the better. Here’s how to obtain and upgrade your shovel in Fields of Mistria!

Where To Buy A Shovel

Obtaining a shovel is an essential stepfor every farmer just starting out in Mistria. A shovel will allow you toexpand your farm, dig for materials, and carve pathwaysacross your land. However, unlike the basic tools of the trade, you’renot given this for free.

Instead, you’re left tofigure out how to get one on your own. You can eitherbuy a shovel or craft it, and buying a shovel is mucheasier (and often faster) than crafting it. Head tothe general storeto pick up your very ownWorn Shovel for 500 Tesserae.
