Fields of Mistria Shows How the Animal Sprite Statue Works

As part of Fields of Mistria‘s Second major update, NPC Studio announced that an all new feature will be arriving to the fantasy farming sim, the Animal Sprite Statue. In a post on Fields of Mistria‘s official X and BlueSky accounts, they posted a brief video summary of the way the item works.

The Animal Sprite Statue in Fields of Mistria is used with an Essence Stone and is placed inside barns and coops to keep every animal in the area happy which will make it no longer necessary to pet each animal individually to keep them content. However, the statue will not be permanent and will require a new Essence Stone every 5 days. Once players set up the Statue in their barn or coop and give it the necessary energy through the Essence Stones, all animals in the area will get the affection and happiness boost.

The Fields of Mistria roadmap for the update includes the Animal Sprite Statue as the “Auto Petter” mechanic and numerous other features for the game, including new Villagers and dialogue, new Tier 4 skills, quests, dungeons and more.

The last major update was in November 2024 and brought similar updates, adding new events for the romanceable NPCs and all-new festivals in town. With the next update, Fields of Mistria will be gaining even more content for players dive into.
