Note: The Fae Critter Conservatory, Potion Ingredient Station, and Gem Polisher can all be added to your homestead by pressing down on the D-pad to enter Build Mode and then down again to select it from the Crafting section of the Build Catalog.

Now that the Miasma has been cleared, many Elven Village residents are excited to be able to return home, and you will now have a new homestead to call your own. Phew, that’s quite the number of farms, but the Fae livestock you can raise makes it worth it.
