Participating in Fields of Mistria's Animal Festival

Like other seasonal events in Fields of Mistria, the Animal Festival occurs annually. Miss it this year? No worries - you'll get another chance when winter rolls around again.

Mark your calendar for the 10th of Winter when the festival begins. This schedule gives you plenty of time to prepare your animals for competition. Remember, well-cared-for livestock means better chances at festival prizes.

Winning Strategies for the Animal Festival

The festival's centerpiece competition lets you showcase two animals - one small (chickens, rabbits) and one large (cows, sheep). Note that only adult animals can participate.

Entering the Competition

Visit festival organizer Josephine at the town square, and she'll guide you to registration booths for each animal category.

Judges evaluate contestants based on two key factors: affection level (increased through daily care like feeding and petting) and unique coat colors. Rare-colored animals earn bonus points.

To maximize your score, bring animals with maximum affection and unusual coloration - pink or blue variants receive special consideration.

Register livestock with Terithia (left booth) and poultry/small animals with Landen (right booth). Both staff members will show eligible animals from your farm.

When ready, inform Josephine to begin judging and watch the competition unfold.

Animal Festival Prizes

Winners are announced by category, with small animals judged first. Defeating Hayden's prize chicken Henrietta earns top honors.

The livestock competition follows, where Hayden's cow Sunshine often dominates inexperienced farmers.

First-year participants may struggle against veteran competitors. Fully bonding with animals and unlocking rare breeds requires significant time investment.

Winning demands both complete animal affection and farm upgrades that unlock special breeds with unique appearances.

With proper care and farm development, capturing the Animal Festival's top prizes becomes increasingly achievable each year.
