InFields of Mistria, every day counts, and you’ll have to juggle different activities like farming, mining, fishing, and fulfilling villagers' requests to contribute to the town’s growth. However, some tasks will take you from your peaceful farm life into the Mines to find certain materials while fending off monsters.

You begin with a basic sword, and many villagers generously give you their old tools. However, there’s one crucial piece of equipment you lack: armor. Your ragged clothes won’t protect you from the dangers lurking in the Mines, and as you unlock new biomes with stronger monsters, the need for proper armor becomes increasingly important.
