Fields of Mistria patch v0.11.6 adds new recipes, pronoun customization, and much needed QoL updates

NPG Studio has been very generous with its updates to Fields of Mistria thus far during early access, and this week gives us what might be the most exciting patch yet. 

This isn’t the first major update that was promised in the early access roadmap, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t incredibly exciting things included in the v0.11.6 patch, with everything from new items and recipes, to much-needed (and much-requested) quality of life improvements.

Although it’s not the most exciting of updates, and technically a small improvement, I’m most excited (and I know I’m not going to be alone in this) by the newly added ability to press and hold when it comes to purchasing multiples of the same items or crafting multiples of the same recipe. Gone are the days of furious, repeated clicking. Glorious. 

Other than that, here’s everything added or changed in Fields of Mistria v0.11.6:
