This is an unofficial fan guide. Read the full official patch notes and make a backup before relying on changes in an existing save.
Fields of Mistria 1.0 introduced marriage, children, the completed Town Repair Questline, and higher Town Renown and NPC Heart Level caps in official patch notes. NPC Studio's collected post announces that the 1.0 Major Update arrived, while the Steam release date recorded in the research is August 5, 2026. The page describes release features rather than requiring a new save for every player. Back up an existing save before any major update and read the full official notes for your version.
Confirmed headline changes
The official notes say the Town Repair Questline can now be completed. They say the Town Renown cap was raised to 100 and the NPC Heart Level cap was raised to 10. Marriage and children are also named as 1.0 Major Update features. These are official claims from the collected patch-note record, not community inference.
Marriage and children
The collected release notes present marriage and children as new features, but they should not be reduced to a made-up step list. Relationship progression, events, gifts, and conditions can be version-sensitive. The collected official FAQ confirms 12 marriage candidates, while some individual route details come from community sources. Check current in-game prompts and the full update post before preparing an item or event.
Returning-save caution
The research archive includes community video discussion of returning saves, but the official patch notes are the reliable source for actual release features. A player video can be helpful for seeing menus or pacing, yet its progress state and recording version are not universal. Make a backup before opening an important save after a major patch. Exact migration behavior and any future hotfix effect are To be confirmed from current official support material.
Read the full notes
The patch page contains more than the headline list and should be read directly if you are resuming a late-game file. Smaller fixes, balance changes, and hotfixes may alter how a feature behaves after launch. This guide does not invent a complete changelog from a summary. Use the official version number and notes that match your installation.
