Quick Answer
House upgrades are part of the Carpenter progression. The newest v1.0.2 notes confirm that new home exteriors unlock only after both the Carpenter's Shop and the player home are fully upgraded. Exact tier costs and requirements should be verified in the current client before publishing.
Key Information
- v1.0.2 explicitly says the Carpenter's Shop and player home must both be fully upgraded to unlock new home exteriors.
- This confirms a progression dependency but does not, in the reviewed official sources, publish a complete upgrade price/material table.
- Home upgrades are best presented separately from animal buildings, which have their own documented capacities and materials.
- Keep cosmetics separate from functional storage/room access in page structure.
Details
The clearest confirmed Fields of Mistria house-upgrade fact comes from the v1.0.2 patch notes: the new home exteriors are gated behind a fully upgraded Carpenter's Shop and a fully upgraded player home. This is valuable for players who expect the exterior letter too early, and it is a good troubleshooting callout for the future page.
Exact home tiers, costs, room changes, and prerequisite quests were not published as a complete official table in the sources reviewed. Do not fill this gap with early-access values. Instead, establish a verified table through a current save and record the Carpenter menu text, Tesserae/material requirements, functional benefits, and any town-rank condition.
For decision support, recommend upgrading the house when it unlocks the player workflow they want, such as additional decorating or home-related progression, rather than treating it as universally first priority. Players focused on livestock may need a coop or barn first; players focused on collections may value storage and inventory options. The future page should name those tradeoffs clearly.
