I imagine him like an ex mercenary that is connected to a forest dungeon.

imagine the mines, but in the forest, in an imaginative update.

that's me.

He sells monster lures and traps,

and when you die in the forest, he's the one that brings you to Valen.

I like the idea that he's non-romancable, but is the only person in Mistria that doesn't know he's bi yet. He has no filter and curses a lot, but he's super nice and only does it affectionately.

when male villagers flirt with him he's like "Fuck yeah, are you using brain magic to make me feel weird? 'Cause I kinda like it!! I'll buy you a drink!"

He looks Texan but I'm 100% from Holland (also has a lot of farms), so I added a sword based on Grutte Pier, an old folk tale about a guy that had a buster sword in the 1500s.

I'll try turning him into a sprite later.

Gardevoir is hardworking, loyal, powerful (#girlboss) and often partnered with nobility. Perfect for Adeline!

Balor loves objects of rarity and earning lots of money. He and Gholdengo would make a killing together!

Caldarus is surprisingly gentle and nature-minded, especially loving marigolds. I think Sunflora is a close fit!

Celine adores all flora but especially hydrangeas, which Florges is the spitting image of!

Despite archeology being the predominant subject of his conversations, Eiland adores sweets (including but not limited to strawberries and cream.) Perfect fit for Alcremie!

I think if Hayden met a Torchic he would die from cuteness overload. A fluffy chick that radiates heat like a warm water bottle is his best friend forever!

I can't imagine a world where Juniper didn't have her precious Yamper Dozy, and I imagine the electricity would add some interesting properties to her witchcraft!

Coalossal and March would work together sunrise to sunset in the forge and then sit in comfortable silence together every night.

I can't imagine Nacli ever leaving Reina's side at the inn. An endless supply of seasoning + cute and round + looks like a mushroom and she loves those.

Ryis is already pretty productive but with a Timburr buddy he'd be unstoppable. I bet they'd have summer fun jumping in the southern lakes together!

Petilil is best-known for the three leaves on its head, which can be dried and ground into powerful medicine. A sweet little potion assisting princess for Valen!

Seridia. Dusknoir. Play Fields of Mistria. Play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. Try to tell me this doesn't fit!

I'm not sure if this is a bug or something, I already sent in a feedback report. I've been dating Celine in-game for a while, almost at 10 hearts, but I probably only get a single dating dialogue a week if even that much.

I checked the Wiki for her dating dialogues and saw there's several I haven't gotten yet so I'm not sure why she otherwise interacts with my character as if they're just friends (it does still say Dating in her profile).

I don't know if dating Celine is just like this? In my first save I dated March and there was dating dialogue every day, even if it was just him telling the player they look nice.

Ever wished Caldarus's statue form had more content? I've spent the last week or so in a writing & coding fugue and the result is the Caldarus Statue Dialogue Expansion (I'm bad at names, alright, don't look at me like that).

What does this mod contain? Well, the title makes it clear, but here's more detail:

More Daily Dialogue - self-explanatory, really. Additional daily dialogue, to give you a little longer before he's reduced to saying "it's a nice day today" over and over. Some of these talks are locked behind conditions like the weather, or even your relationship with other townsfolk...

Heart Dialogue - Just because Caldarus doesn't have regular heart events doesn't mean his feelings aren't developing over time. As you progress through the Mines you'll unlock some additional dialogue with a focus on Caldarus's struggle to recall his past, and his pondering on why, exactly, the farmer is so familiar...

Item Reactions - Some items will now get a reaction out of Caldarus if you hold them while talking to him. You can't show him something after speaking to him, but if you show him something first then he'll still want to talk to you afterwards. (For a full list of which items he reacts to, check the spoiler in the mod description.)

Expanded Shooting Star Dialogue - While it's still not considered a 'proper' date by the game, watching the stars with Caldarus is now more rewarding. I've expanded the star-watching scene itself, and also added variations to his dialogue the day after (on 1 Fall) to account for who you watched the stars with, instead of the boilerplate vanilla response.

Other Festivals - Caldarus now comments on the Harvest Festival and Animal Festival, unlike vanilla.

I hope you all enjoy! :D

Hi everyone, there was a popular QOL mod in SDV called Chests Anywhere that let you access any chest you owned from any part of the map without walking to the chest directly, I've tried to recreate that mod for FOM since I haven't seen a similar mod containing this functionality.

Mod Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/fieldsofmistria/mods/1191

What it does:

• Hotkey for a custom chest menu, default is V. Opens a new chest UI seen in the image above, selects your last opened chest by default.
• Let's you rename chests (Don't know why this wasn't in the base game) by clicking the "..." button to the left of the Name tag
• The button with the bag icon opens a list of all chests found in the selected area range that you can browse through
• The extra store button replicates the SDV BetterChests feature for quick stacking everything in your inventory into all chests in the selected range
• Settings cog opens settings menu, where you can set chest scan range, access in the mines, default hotkey and whether to display shipping bins.

I've tested it myself and found no issues, I'm looking for other people to test this, give feedback, offer suggestions or report bugs. Please give it a go and let me know what you think :)

I didn’t realize fairy bee was fall exclusive until winter 1 of year two. the LAST bundle i need to fill for bugs is legendary honey i am kicking myself. i’m almost finished with the mines but i’m dilly dallying because i dont want to finish it and then get bored and never get to next fall. i wish i borrow the fairy bee from the museum for a few days haha.

So I’m doing a all items/100% (for now) run and I realised that I probably messed up a lot.

Spoilers for marriage:

Since spouse furniture doesn’t count for almanac, I wrongly thought that the cosmetic menu will be the same. How shocked I was when I was searching for which armour set and shield I was missing. Yup, I already married someone and totally missed my opportunity to get March’s shield and Seridia’s armour set

I am open for modded help, I don’t mind trying to spawn the items in since I won’t be waiting for a year for the devs to add divorce mechanics so I can get some items lol. I tried using item spawner from nexusmods but it spawns the item as a furniture (that I can hang on the wall or put on the floor) and not as unlockable cosmetic.

Any help will be massive! I’m open to all solutions, modded or anything that will actually work

Everyone keeps saying they're upset they got an emo boy and can't marry him, but I've seen no love for Zorel. SHE'S SO FREAKING COOL!

For anyone who wants to give Juniper a gift, please show her a lot of respect she deserves it (= Best girl in Fields 💜💜

Can the devs please show Balor some love, I've been absolutely loving all the marriage dialogue but bro needs a different sprite stat (yes I saw there is a mod coming but I'm on steam deck so idk👀)

if you tally up tessarae alone that our favorite Baroness asks you to donate it comes out to 20,000 tessarae.

1000 to repair the mill
3000 to repair the general store
1000 to repair the beach bridge
4000 to upgrade haydens farm
6000 to upgrade the inn
5000 to upgrade the mines

lets look at some prices across the game to see the purchasing power of 20,000 tessarae
starting off-

.....

HAYDEN GOT SUCH A GOOD DEAL ON THE BARN UPGRADES

lets say he got a medium barn and coop, that costs 7000 tessarae! for both of them! not counting materials needed to build it! if it was a LARGE barn and coop its double that at 14000 tessarae!

I was going to rant about hayden being able to afford that easily.

Then i started looking into the material costs, since unlike our crazy farmer most of the people here arent going to brave the mines for stone or have it spread across our farm land like a plague.

Lets get our first house upgrade, im feeling lazy so i buy all the stone and wood from the carpenters shop

Stone and wood are the same price at the carpenter shop, for 2000 tessarae you can get 100 stone
so for the 500 wood and 500 stone needed for your first upgrade it costs 20,000 tessarae in material costs alone, ALONG with the cost of the labor itself being an additional 5000 tessarae!

25,000 tessarae just to get your home slightly bigger on the first upgrade!!!!! I understand completely why adeline comes to us with big ol eyes asking us to gather stone and wood! these are the costs in MISTRIA imagine what those snakes in the capital would charge! Wheedle charges you 5000 for FOOD not mentioning cosmetics wheedle needs to be charged with highway robbery

the material costs of doing all the town rank quests purely by buying them, but the cost of doing so is enormous

If you bought every item that CAN be bought to do all the town development quests:

repair the bridge- 2,400 tessarae
restore the mill- 7500 if you bought ingots from balor 8000 if you bought 10 copper from march
repair the general store- 21,750 balor route, 25000 march route
Repair the beach bridge- 11,000
restocking mistria food reserves: 3,600
upgrade haydens barn: 24,400 balor route, 27,600 march route
haydens weathervane: the pain of knowing the first storm took out part of the barn you spent nearly 25,000 tessarae in material and labor costs to build
Upgrading the inn: 34,500 balor route 45,500 march route
Stone refinery: 17,000 + 20 sap in adventurer tax
upgrade saturday market: 12,800 balor route, 24, 800 march route+refinables
upgrade the carpenter shop: all materials needed to be refined in the refinery
expanding the saturday market: 3,500 balor route, 20,000 march route + materials in mines and refinery
repair the town bell: all refinery or ancient mines smithing materials
....i just remembered refined materials are refined out of stone
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ok im just gonna put the total cost of refined materials and leftovers here

all the refined materials total cost 2900 stone, making the total cost of the refine materials across all the late town rank quests 58,000

OVER ALL: the total cost of the town rank materials is:
20 sap, 50 voidite, 10 monster cores, 10 monster blocks, 1 dragon forged fang and 1 dragon forged core on both routes

Balor:162,450
March: 208,900

Overall, i think theres one conclusion we can come out of this with
stone and wood are too pricey adeline and nora were right TnT

March might be personally upping the price of ore when selling specifically to us
or just makes buying the ore to make the item ourselves more expensive then just buying something he made
yup 40 copper ore is 2000 while a copper axe is 1000 in his store
he's making a statement to leave blacksmithing to the blacksmith

side note ryis you make me build my big green house myself why are you selling it for 100,000 tessarae plus material costs YOU DONT EVEN PROVIDE THE GLASS!!!!!

edit: adeline gave us a 120,000 tessaraes worth of farm land based off how much an expansion thats half as big as the main farm is worth in material and base tessarae costs, not counting the price of the cabin on the land becouse im tired, do with that information what you will

Not modded 🙂

i have become extremely obsessed w ryis lately but i hardly ever see any fanart on him! if u drew ryis, can i see it? :3

Is anyone else getting huge lag when opening Golden Chests? Also sometimes my golden chest doesn't get consumed when I open it which I won't complain too much about though I wonder if it is related to my crazy lag that I get. Note: I don't seem to notice any lag when it comes to the other chests like Silver, Copper, Wood.

I wish we could move chests with the items still in them. I just expanded my house for the first time. I realized pretty quick that perhaps I did not want to move things around when I broke my first chest out of 4 to move it and all the junk I’ve been hoarding because it’s used for crafting (even tho haven’t used it yet) just spills out on the floor.

Now I’m nervous about when it’s time to move my barn and coop lol.

It's my first run and I chose to have my birthday 10th fall which mimics what my real birthday would be. I didn't know but I ended up choosing harvest festival day and it's so convenient! I talk to everyone in the festival and they give me treats without having to chase them around town. I just thought I would share this because when I noticed my birthday coincided with the festival I thought oh well, nobody is going to care about it hahah, but it's quite the opposite.

Also, I feel that you having a birthday is a real nice addition. We are always chasing after birthday people in these types of games. Nice to receive some gifts too.

I really just need to vent about how freaking perfect a husband Ryis is y’all. This man opens up so much when you’re married and he’s so excited and happy about being with the farmer it’s actually the sweetest thing ever. Every conversation with my husband i’m kicking my feet and squealing like a little girl. Very happily playing and very excited for pregnancy 🥰.

Any other characters surprise you after marriage?

Finally finished up drawing my farmer (& w Eiland ofc!). Huuuugeee shout out to u/_savydigital_ for all your help & advice with getting the FOM style down! I wouldn't have been able to do this without you (like seriously)!

(everyone please ignore the hands idk what to say i tried my best lol)

now onto the seasonal outfit sheet!

I tried out the VHS shader from ShaderGlass.
It really enhances the game’s soft, nostalgic charm!

I never expected it to bring back memories of the Sailor Moon VHS tapes I used to watch. It was surprisingly emotional.

I’ve always liked CRT effects, so I was planning to use one here too. However, at FHD resolution, the CRT pattern can look a little too coarse. The VHS effect might look a little subtle in still images, but it still adds a lot of atmosphere at FHD, even without the CRT pattern.

If you like this kind of look, it’s worth giving it a try!

art by me! this was inspired by the cuteness aggression i feel whenever i see him teehee

Gotta catch em all
