Fields of Mistria Animal Festival Guide

The latest *Fields of Mistria* update introduces the charming Animal Festival! This annual town event is not only fun but also a fantastic opportunity to showcase your farm animals. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to participate and win big.

The Animal Festival, like other seasonal events in *Fields of Mistria*, occurs annually on the 10th day of Winter. This gives you plenty of time to prepare your animals for their big moment. Remember, well-cared-for animals are key to winning top prizes!

Winning the Animal Festival

The main event lets you enter up to two animals: one small (chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.) and one large (cows, alpacas, sheep, etc.). Both must be fully grown adults to participate.

Entering the Contest

1. Head to the festival grounds and speak to Josephine at the registration counter.
2. She'll direct you to two booths: one for large animals (Terithia) and one for small animals (Landen).
3. Select your eligible animals at each booth.
4. Return to Josephine and tell her you're ready for judging.

Josephine will offer some valuable tips:

• Animal Affection: The more hearts your animal has (earned through petting, feeding, and outdoor time), the higher your score.
• Coat Color: Rare coat colors boost your score.

Prizes

A cutscene reveals the winners for both small and large animal categories. Winning against Hayden's Henrietta (chicken) and Sunshine (cow) earns you the top prize in each bracket. The prizes awarded depend on your placement. Winning in your first year might be challenging, requiring significant time invested in animal care and farm upgrades to obtain rare animals and unique coat colors.

Consistent animal care and farm upgrades significantly increase your chances of winning the gold crown in future years.
