Fields of Mistria Checklist: Progress Guide

Keep your existing save, then audit current progress before spending stored resources. NPC Studio confirms save carryover and retroactive achievements, so this is a progress check—not a restart order.

Confirm the save before changing anything

  1. Update through the supported Steam flow and preserve a backup using a method you already trust.
  2. Load the intended farm and confirm the current date, season, active requests, money, stamina, and storage context.
  3. Open the achievement list and note what unlocked retroactively before repeating old tasks.
  4. Read new letters, requests, and tutorials before selling or crafting stored materials.
  5. Choose one progress area for the day instead of trying to clear every new system at once.

Check the current progress areas

  • Town Repair: review the additional storyline events and the path to the now-completable storyline.
  • Renown: inspect new rewards and progress under the official level-100 cap.
  • Mines and dungeons: check additional quests and rewards before converting late-game materials.
  • Request Board and Museum: review newly added requests, sets, and rewards.
  • Skills and customization: inspect new perks, furniture, cosmetics, and mount skins before spending essence or currency.
  • Achievements: allow the game to evaluate earlier accomplishments before starting replacement tasks.

Run the relationship check separately

  1. Review which characters are currently dating, Best Friends, or still progressing through heart events.
  2. Check the new 10-heart content and live event prompts for the person you want to pursue.
  3. Remember that marrying one person changes other active dating relationships to Best Friend status according to the official FAQ.
  4. Treat having a child as a separate optional choice; NPC Studio says the player can opt out.

Protect items until their job is clear

  • Keep first copies of unfamiliar fish, insects, artifacts, crops, and forageables until checking Museum and request needs.
  • Do not turn a rare material into a gift or recipe until checking current late-game crafting and story requirements.
  • Separate confirmed surplus from museum candidates, quest items, gifts, food, and upgrade materials.
  • Use the current game UI as the final authority when an undated checklist disagrees with a live requirement.

Finish with one next action

A useful checklist ends in a decision. Pick one town repair, one dungeon objective, one museum set, one relationship event, or one farm automation test. Record what blocked it, then open the matching guide instead of repeating a broad daily loop.

Verification boundary

What still needs live verification

This checklist tracks major progression areas, not every collectible. Exact quest steps, rewards, and interface labels may change in later patches.

Official descriptions establish stable scope. Interface paths, balance, values, rewards, schedules, and version-specific behavior must still be checked in the current game build.

Is this a complete item checklist?
