If the daily chore of watering crops in Fields of Mistria has become a tiresome routine for you, consider utilizing the game’s Water Sprite Statues, commonly referred to as sprinklers. Introduced in the recent update 0.13.0, these statues efficiently hydrate your crops within a two-tile radius, transforming your farming experience. Optimally, placing one at the center of a five-by-five crop plot will ensure complete coverage.
However, crafting additional Water Sprite Statues requires progressing through the main storyline, acquiring a specific ability, and collecting certain rare materials. In the following sections, you’ll learn how to unlock, obtain, and create these essential farming implements in Fields of Mistria.
Unlocking Water Sprite Statues (Sprinklers)
Initiating the Quest: Accessing the Mines
Your journey begins at level 60 of the mines, where you’ll encounter an ancient tablet. Engaging with this tablet unlocks the Water Sprite Statue recipe and activates the Breaking the Fire Seal questline, a pivotal storyline involving several important NPCs.
- Speak with Juniper for detailed instructions once the quest is initiated.
- Be patient as Balor will approach you after some time.
- Gather the specific items Balor requests and take them to the altar.
Completing these tasks not only grants you the Dragon’s Breath ability, allowing you to clear barriers with fire but also opens up the option to romance Caldarus—making this quest even more rewarding.
Discovering the Hidden Cave with Dragon’s Breath
Once you have acquired the Dragon’s Breath ability, your next step is to locate a secret cave near the beach.
- Proceed eastward from the beach cliffs until you spot a rocky cave entrance in the northeast.
- Make a leap from the cliff to reach this hidden location.
- Utilize Dragon’s Breath to melt the rock barrier at the entrance; aim upward for effective clearance.
Inside, you’ll discover a treasure chest that contains your first Water Sprite Statue along with the crafting recipe for additional statues.
Crafting Additional Water Sprite Statues
Establishing the Stone Refinery
Although you receive one Water Sprite Statue for free, creating more involves progressing further in your quest and unlocking the Stone Refinery. Here’s how to do it:
- Achieve Renown Level 55 to advance.
- Complete the Repair the Inn quest for town progression.
- Await a letter from Adeline inviting you to meet near the mines to construct the Stone Refinery.
Upon completing the refinery, you’ll have the capability to convert materials into Cut Stone and Essence Stones, both of which are essential for crafting Water Sprite Statues.
Collecting Materials for Crafting
Once your Stone Refinery is operational in Fields of Mistria, you will require the following components to craft new Water Sprite Statues:
- 10 Cut Stones: Produced at the Stone Refinery.
- 50 Essence: Also refined at the Stone Refinery.
- 3 Special Foraged Items: These determine the design of the statue.
The special foraged items can vary based on your preferred design, but all Water Sprite Statues perform identically. Here’s where you can find these materials:
- Ash Mushrooms & Purple Mushrooms: Located in the lava caves (Mine Floors 61-79).
- Temple Flowers & Thorn Vines: Sourced from the deep woods.
- Sea Grapes: Available in the tide caverns (Mine Floors 21-39).
With all necessary materials assembled, head back to your crafting bench and produce as many Water Sprite Statues or sprinklers as required to optimize your farming experience in Fields of Mistria.
