FFXIV: Island Sanctuary Guide

Note: Patch 6.4 has added a bunch of content! More ranks, and an entire new area! Enjoy!
The island is chill, but some of you could enjoy a guide on it. Here's my simple go over on how it works. It's not as complex as you might fear.... aside from the Workshop.

Don't know if Wesk knows this or not but just a little QoL tip: If you fill 1 whole day for a single workshop, then right click the top item, you can register that workshops list of orders as a preset. Subsequently, you can right click the plus sign on the other workshop, select and effectively copy a registered preset into that workshop. Saves so much time and menu nagivation

[@kimaclaret]

Another clear and concise guide. This is going to be so helpful to a lot of people, be they current players who just haven't bothered to do start this, or new players down the line.

[@Pokemaniac88]

Wesk, I just beat 6.0 last Sunday, so this guide has the perfect timing. Thank you.

[@AnneAleph]

Thank you for the video! I've always wanted to get started with it, but the guides I found usually jumped right into the minmaxing/efficiency/tasks part of it without explaining what it is or how it starts

[@rileykrupp9139]

Thank you this guide is so helpful. I was feeling overwhelmed by this until I watched your video

[@keiyangoshin3650]

Thank you! This guide is exactly what I was waiting for. 😃 I really like how it explains everything carefully and clearly. I’m still just rank 5, but at least I made it this far. Now, item creation is a thing and it’s not so fun anymore. 👀 But getting good at this system is ideal to get enough currency for the really good stuff. The minions and mounts!! ❤️

[@stuffandwhatnot4401]

Workshops are king. I spend < 2 hours per week doing IS and had 180K blue cowries when the new patch dropped. Sure, you have to either wait to level via the workshop or put in the effort to go faster but you can just buy everything as soon as it's unlocked.

[@haloeightYT]

i've definitely appreciated the mounts and glam that comes from this content so i'd say it's worth it just for that

[@maidmaia]

Thanks for the guide, its very helpful!

[@blackmagekongs2588]

I was never a huge fan of island sanctuary ever since it was introduced, but maybe this guide will help motivate me to continue with the island grind.

[@natebroadus8474]

I still go back and set my agenda every week. I set two crops to be my Premiun Green Feed spenders, then diversify the rest of the plots based on what I might need for the agenda. I have mammets taking care of everything. Sometimes I go there just to listen to music and chill. I think this is how Yoshi-P imagined people would consume the content. However, I won't pretend that I represent the average MMO min/maxer.😅

[@telezon7206]

ooh, nice. thanks for this!

[@zerostarhx]

Thanks Wesk🎉❤

[@shiryonai]

FF14 Teamcraft tells you what to use in workshop every week

[@MattHersee]

I have no idea what this is because I haven't finished Endwalker but I'm gonna watch the whole thing.

[@rachelkelley5930]

4:43 good to see a fellow sheep lover!

[@pozziellen]

You’re the best! ❤

[@pumapants5127]

9:15 the original name for the gardening mammet was Chuck.

[@nerdicusdorkum2923]

Thanks, I never really got into it before I started my break from the game. Once I build up my IRL bank account, and get back into the game, I think I'll work on my island first thing!

[@15ironreaver]

Me: "kinda want that ponytail haircut let's finally do island sanctuary" Me 10 minutes later: "Of course WeskAlber has a fucking guide now I'm set"

[@k2k4]

I was like half way through the sanctuary progression wondering how to actually get an efficiency bonus and sitting on like 150 cowries and now i kind of get it

[@edgarlarios4718]

Best guide I've seen to date, but does anyone know who/what determines demand?

[@WeskAlber]

I do show that.

[@odysseyisland2235]

Wesk's guides are like "FFXIV for dummies" which is why I always watch them when I wanna learn something about the game.

[@Raoul9753]

When this was announced, I thought it was a solution to the overcrouded housing system in FF14, but seems that was a wrong guess...

[@kaidaw6546]

**sweats b/c i completely forgot about this as a thing and hasn't visited my island for weeks by now**

[@picturemethis]

So Harvestella?

[@kennedynisbett182]

I made the first land and didn't get the Granary. Did I mess up?

[@WeskAlber]

You picked the workshop then. Workshop is good

[@kennedynisbett182]

@@WeskAlber sorry I meant to say ( the tree house) landmark.

[@WeskAlber]

@@kennedynisbett182 Treehouse and granary are completely unrelated

[@kennedynisbett182]

@@WeskAlber oh ok

[@jaytheflip6307]

What are the benefits of island sanctuary?

[@WeskAlber]

Glam, mounts, minions, materia, pride and accomplishment

[@Crispierbug]

one benefit is buying pots of dye that go for 80k~ on mb, good way to passively make gil.

[@jaytheflip6307]

​@@CrispierbugYou speak my language! Thank you, Tell me more please.

[@Crispierbug]

@@jaytheflip6307 the island has it own currency system and for 2500 of one of the currencies you can buy a pot of the green rarity of dyes with 3 different choices, the currency has a ton of things you can buy with it and you need to use it to progress the island so its gonna take a couple months of work before you can farm the currency for the purpose of buying and selling dye.

[@TrapperGamingRandomMoments]

"Take it slow and relax". My head hurts. Somewhere in the middle of explaining the Workshop you simply lost me xD. I though this is a fun, mini, side activity to do in the free time. Hell I can easily understand an extreme or even a save fight faster than this xD

[@clairemadeinheaven]

I'm rank 10 and didn't unlock flight

[@WeskAlber]

Are you sure? In that clip it shows I did in fact get flight at 10. Try upgrading buildings more? I had everything maxed before 10 basically
