In Fields of Mistria, players start by helping Adeline rebuild parts of the town while also raising pets, building a farm, completing museum sets, and going on adventures. However, the in-game days can feel too short, quickly lowering your character’s energy and forcing them to sleep—particularly when you're in the middle of a quest.

This day cycle can also limit how much of the map you get to see in a single day. Thankfully, a recent update now lets you adjust the day length to your preference. So, for those curious, here's how to change the daytime speed in Fields of Mistria.

How To Change Day Length In Fields Of Mistria

As mentioned above, you can easily increase the duration of your day in Fields of Mistria. With two Main Menu settings in the game, players might get confused about which one to enter. Like audio and controls settings, you need to open the in-game Main Menu to swap your day time speed. To be more precise, to change your Day Time length in Fields of Mistria, you need to open the journal page's settings (ESC key), click on Accessibility, and then pick one of three Day Time Speed options from the side menu.

Once done, you’ll need to go back to your house and sleep to enable the settings, as your Fields of Mistria days won’t become longer immediately. When your character wakes up the next day, the day's length will change based on the option you selected. Now, you can walk around the map and explore different parts of the town without the clock hitting midnight too soon. Also, players can complete story quests, fulfill requests, or simply enjoy their time in the game.

Just a quick heads-up — if you slow down the time, it might take you longer to finish quests and progress further since you will receive quest letters and recipes in your mailbox the following day.
