Yoshi-P: We don't expect players to go ham on this content. Players: *CRACKS KNUCKLES*

[@godsplayingfield]

Yoshi: this is meant to be a slow burn type of content. to last weeks if not months due how long it takes to get anything d- Dev: lord Yoshi, statistics are in.... people are already maxed the island Yoshi: IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS! Dev: they have also already minmaxed things. including spreadsheets and speed run tactics Yoshi: ...... fck

[@MarrisaPlays]

dont make it so fun and i wont go ham..... also if its shiney i have to touch it the whole island shines and i love it

[@mlemlemmlemmlem]

@@godsplayingfield I got to rank 4 just collecting rocks and shit before doing any of the quests 🤣

[@MrPetpet111]

Already at rank 8 for those 10 minutes = 1000 island exp gatherings. While building facilities helped a lot.

[@Nihonguy]

Theres a guy who leveled up his island like 5 times just gathering lol

[@furbyoats1]

Yoshi P: this is not meant to be hard-core Cole: I'm making spreadsheets on day 2

[@kickemindafacestyleson6986]

this is a bit overboard......like Leviathan overboard

[@XXXmitsarugiXXX]

@Mike Orm Almost Rank 8 also , got the Gather 3k items achiev, its all i do all day :"/

[@generalbismark7163]

The hardcore players were doing it immediately he is taking it at a casual pace comparatively.

[@conundrum60690]

Hard core players didn’t make his mistake lol…

[@BroadwayDamaged]

Yoshi-P: Players can finally relax! Players: Yeaah, I'm gonna need a spreadsheet.

[@Tecolote41]

@Mike Orm Who pissed in your cereal?

[@lilfayexo]

Super helpful I was def feeling over when with where to start next I got got my island to level 5 and I’m in desperate need of the cowbell. Super helpful will def be using this later when I’m on and have time to sort myself out and get organized.

[@EdumBot]

I am *so* glad you pointed out the spruce log. I had my mammets out to get silver ore. I would've mauled someone, if I had to wait an extra day because I didn't know ahead of time.

[@TheMooseFromTheRoom]

Yup, was in the same situation. But I've already gotten silver for 2 days, so I'd get the spruce tomorrow

[@AjaniGoldmaneFFXIV]

Super helpful on how to optimize the workshops!

[@StrikerTVFang]

even though min-maxing is actually fun for most people.. honestly just taking the time and enjoying this slowly is the best way to go. (IMHO)

[@bate01071]

Yeah I kind of decided I don’t care about the optimal path for this content, and more and more of what FFXIV offers as I’ve been around a while. And it’s way more interesting to figure it out myself.

[@Blariblary]

the idea of coming home from work and just chilling on the sanctuary is what i love about how it's been set up.

[@JoSan3]

some people just want to treat everything in this game as hardcore content

[@stormkeeper1741]

Most people? Not sure its fun for most people. A lot of people probably though.

[@kickemindafacestyleson6986]

why do they always have to break something down? it's like they are upset they didn't get invited or were not chosen to participate on something, so it's their only mission in life to take it, dismantle it, find another way to 'break' it so as to seem like they know the content better than the ppl who created it....smh

[@ColeEvyx]

I got completely stuck... REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@SylverValkyrie]

Super helpful thank you!

[@SeldimSeen1]

Thank you. I needed this video.

[@jazz2965]

this very neat i like this thank god i started over before i caught up theres so many hours or new gameplay i havent experienced yet its got me pumped

[@EulersDisc]

There are TWO weekly challenges in the Challenge Log - under “Other” and scroll to the bottom - these pay 1000c each (in case you messed up and spent them all). 👍 For activities there are many achievements to do - In “Achievements” under Character/General - and scroll to the bottom.

[@iamthecookiemonstr31]

If you hover over the seeds in sow mode they tell you grow time. So far they all say 2 days .

[@DragokanLairGaming]

nice job, i get my self on the grind mode of rank up just i dont figure out the damwn blu token come only from the mummet factory... i love it xD i know is a pain but if get how to raise up using some little trick is not so bad. is atrociously time consuming for sure :D if one dont love to grind a shitload of material please avoid it for your personal sanity :D

[@probablyhuman632]

Out of all the things to try-hard in this game, be it crafting, gathering, raids, ultimates, parsing, glams, the one thing I choose to sweat over is diet Stardew Valley. Thanks for the recourse, I'll put it to good use

[@Buttastackz]

How do we unlock the pathological pathfinder mk IV mammet? What rank do we need to upgrade this zone?

[@paweeeeee4201]

I was tempted to buy the glam as soon as I got access to it but I'm glad I waited. Wish they would give 2-3 pieces/item each node, it's a pain farming for things and get only 1, it's eating much of my time since my OCD wants to get 100pc each items. Just in case i would need it later on. I know we have the granary for that but still want to do something while there.

[@neon9152]

That spreadsheet title is the most true thing I've read all day.

[@RealWildWitch]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@ExceedProduction]

Funny to see how hard people go on this, haha. I had a lot of fun with it, went balls to the walls with it on day 1, now that everything is up and running I take it slow. That hint about the granary missions was important though. I'll focus on the ones needed for upgrades for now.

[@DaiNguyen-xv4vn]

Rly nice video, I also no life gathered until I hit rank 8, got the collect 3000 achievement way before then....and to add upgrading the work shop doesn't seem to effect too much if any? But upgrading the granary does make them bring more of the rare material back, first upgrade went from 2 to 3. Not much of a boost but 3 is what you need to upgrade to lvl3 so you can upgrade 2 stations a day.

[@nitrex623]

Hello! Can you post the spreadsheet you show in the video somewhere?

[@Itama22]

It's true that it's a trap to spent the currency on stuff other than expending the island but if you sprint too far ahead you will be short on recources no matter what. Island Sanctuary is just meant to be slow. I tried to do it on a medium to fast pace at first but realized quickly that it makes no sense to do that for that kind of content.

[@kickemindafacestyleson6986]

everyone remember the movie HearBreak Ridge? how all the marines sprinted ahead of Clint and ran outta juice at the end as Clint passed them by, pacing himself.....yeah

[@Varichan]

/me laughs in contemplating, if i want to farm out the last level today or just have it tick by

[@biocajun86]

…. **Me just being amazed at how little time it took you to gather this information and then plug it into a spreadsheet!

[@jamesraposa942]

tutorial ends at Sanctuary 4 btw

[@dQnQb]

Heh... And here I am buying the new glam top as soon as I got the "money"

[@mayalewis2956]

i heard something about a red chocobo appearing on the island on the mountain but it has very specific reqs

[@durielv4482]

Is there something beneficial for upgrading the workshops of is it purely esthetic?

[@planetgameing837]

unlocks more items.

[@mrbastos]

damn, I spent 350 cowries sending my dudes out for a week thinking I'd need the ore. I wonder if I can swap for the cowries and lumber.

[@zegichiban]

I made this mistake of buying the minion as soon as I could. So being 4k down meant I've been stuck at lv 5 not being able to do ANY expansions and probably won't be for another day or two.

[@henriettabalogh6217]

same.. good to know im not alone :')

[@WutTheMatt]

I can't even get onto my island to begin with...Due to constant congestion... rip

[@exodus0529]

This is certainly for people who want to max it out quick, but some good advice is upgrade your workshops and granaries if you have them . It's easy island exp to get you to a better rank

[@brkctrl]

I picked two granary and only had two workshop and still did fine. Got my third workshop now. I'm level 7 and upgraded everything I could including level 3 pasture and cropland. The two granary really helps bring in rare materials so I was able to make more high value items in workshop. So people who went two granary, don't feel like you made a mistake.

[@snonyabeeswax]

ilike having this in the game my own slice of eorzia i have all to myself XD

[@XXXmitsarugiXXX]

Rank 8 Soon, already have all buildings maxed and running ^^ Also do the Challenge Logs ;)

[@XXXmitsarugiXXX]

Ok rank 10 ,now I need 2k and all done :)

[@PrincessofKeys]

I'm level 5 on mine and nocited that some need those currency to do stuff and so I just stopped and waited to spend them

[@michaeltrees7106]

Honestly it’s not too bad, you get an extra thousand cowries for shipping 20 items, I bought the shirt and while there was a rough patch I’m back on track

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

I am Rank 5 and cant expand past the second expansions (after getting the windmill/treehouse spot) as i used my tutorial stones on the chest piece glamour and now have to wait till my workshops produce more, they are running 24/7 with calculated profits so i should be able to expand tomorrow Its really a shame the game doesnt warn you when you get the options to use them for glamour and shit xD

[@ExceedProduction]

By that point you know you need the tokens for upgrades, so that should have been pretty obvious tbh

[@deathlord0042]

The food to grow takes 2 earth days time, is different from the animal sections

[@jrtime228]

If you dont want to get into this trap as easily as others, get 2 workshops as quickly as possible, gather matz in larger amounts and KEEP THEM until you hit lvl 10. Follow up with any videos Cole puts out for detailed info on the IS. If you havent read my previous comment, The predicted demand is WEEKLY or "one season". So if you just started a season, you'll want to look at the current "popularity" for your current season to determine what you need to be making "now". The ideal combo for an item is "Very High popularity, Non-existent supply amount, and Skyrocketing for the demand increase. The corps all take 2 24 hour periods to grow and the animal leavings is a day by day basis. There MAY be a correlation between animal mood and what you get from leavings. I say this because my animals are all happy and I get approx. 7/10 leavings that are 2 items (1 regular and one rare) instead of 1 (1 regular OR 1 rare).

[@lootmaster1337]

Msq done, t4ex done, raid done, guess ill spend the weekend farming t4ex for mount and getting my island higher

[@Nihonguy]

Island sanctuary savage

[@martianmason]

yeah, i bought the shorts and then upgraded the pasture so now at rank 5 I'm stuck because I cant make enough seafarers to clear more land and build more things

[@PrincessofKeys]

I was so tempted to buy the shorts but was like I'd probably need these to even be able to make more seafarers currency to even began with

[@martianmason]

@@PrincessofKeys yeah, I was thinking somewhat the same, but omg I needed shorts like that lol 🤣

[@schoolcnu]

I am absolutely stuck at mk IV and cannot get it unlocked I feel like I'm missing something I made all the available building and tools but still no luck wish the mammets gave more direction on what to do

[@Hexium_Vexium]

Presently waiting to activate Mk IV expansion too. It might just be a matter of raising Sanctuary Rank? Doing so unlocks new craftables - such as the mammets' tools for expanding. (Not sure if it's still an issue for you at this point, though, given it's been a few days since your comment.)

[@rainningstorm]

Do not expect ff14 players not to optimize their island sanctuary grind. There's gonna be better and more conclusi guides as the expansion continues.

[@bate01071]

I love it that SE creates content to be enjoyed in a relaxing way and FFXIV players find ways to torture themselves with the content. There's no saving FFXIV players from mad grinding whatever SE creates that's new:)

[@Nylnezz]

island sanctuary speedrun any% jesus christ no wonder people run out of things to do xD

[@pugpug1953]

I wish I had seen the first video you did because I am an Idiot LOL.. I bought a glam and now I'm dancing as fast as I can to get more cowbell ( ... Also can you please explain visions what they are and how to get them.. TY A lot of my FC members have no clue including me LOL

[@WizelBalan]

How to get unstuck, just wait a week or so while your workshop sells stuff. Meant to be taken slow not sprint to the finish.

[@mlemlemmlemmlem]

That's a whole ass spreadsheet

[@militarymoose87]

LMAO. The thought of "World First" on content that has been marketed as a great way to relax in FFXIV.

[@blakereeder1714]

This reminds me of the garrisons on world of warcraft

[@sophiastorm8616]

you didn t got stuck, you got...delayed😃

[@Joe-it2dh]

I think its 36 hours for crops

[@Tailionis]

1 day I'll finish the tutorial

[@PrincessofKeys]

Also I was trying to find the mammot they said to go to for the granary and didn't see it anywhere...I knew that was going to be important but couldn't find it anywhere! Also been collecting stuff when Im out gathering cause I know its needed for upgrading as well

[@tonyaduvall49]

They really should have given a warning about this.

[@fatalkrypt]

heck, im at lvl 5 and put in 2 workshop. and 2 grainery

[@dizzybee4176]

I wish I saw this video before I put in two WS's and 2 Graineries xD

[@DaiNguyen-xv4vn]

It's not that bad actually, I did the same and got the third workshop on the second day. Plus if you get 2 grainary you can get 4 of the 3 rare material needed to upgrade the workshop to rank 3 as soon as possible.

[@HakaishinCat]

Hope people arent burnt out and complaining about lack of island content on day 3, while also min maxing super hard lol

[@lewys9204]

I'm Rank 5, can't do any quests, can't do any building. I'm stuck

[@ashleysmith38]

I found the sanctuary realy easy without looking anything up

[@FF-tp7qs]

There's a challenge log that gives you 2000 blue cowries a week Its under other

[@PrincessofKeys]

If thats the case than I should check it out

[@FF-tp7qs]

1000 seafarers cowries for gathering 100 Island materials 1000 for selling 20 handicrafts Its under the Eureka related challenges

[@kingbearxxiv]

You can also sell some leavings from your animals for cowries. Most sell for 12 a and the rare items from graineries sell for about 50 each 👍🏽

[@Sephaizen]

Why don't you make a video explaining how you got rank 8 within 24 hours of the update? Which is basically impossible with time gating

[@ColeEvyx]

Just posted! Actually hit rank 10 this mornin :D

[@jrtime228]

they severely under supplied the sea cowries. BTW the predicted value is for the next season not the next day from what ive seen.

[@ColeEvyx]

Ahhh so it is the next season! AHA! Now that makes a lot of sense.

[@jrtime228]

@@ColeEvyx From what i gather, yes. I will reply here again if it holds ture. Im coming out of the rest cycles tomorrow so I will be able to say with more certainty.

[@jrtime228]

@@ColeEvyx Ok so it is a YES to that statement. It is by season not by cycle. And something I thought of that im going to test is "creating demand". Basically, trying to not sell certain items that are on your next season, so the supply amount drops which, as we know, having less of the item seems to affect the payout from said item.

[@chrislakatos7999]

Man, so many toxic comments from the turbo-toxic-turbo-casual audience. If people want to do things more optimally for their island they're going to. Incredibly, that is not mutually exclusive to having fun with the content. Thanks for the video, Cole :)

[@arumea5418]

I opened sanctuary this morning, got to rank 5 in a few hours and chilled out....and I'm honestly surprised everyones this strategic and crazy about this already, this is meant to be a slow, leisure activity, no need to be going this hard imo.

[@qbert8800]

I know there's a new hairstyle that comes from the island. How hard is it to get/how soon can you get it if you know? that's all i want but am not motivated to start tbh

[@SprDrumio64]

ah yes, people optimizing the fun out of things again...

[@menosay1912]

Ah yes, people deciding what other peoples fun is.

[@Kalrell]

RIP i have 2 Granary's 🤣

[@melbye7441]

Yeah me too. Weird we can't remove a building. At least see no option for it

[@angelgodric]

The Island is trash I try to get into and can't enter. Everything is time gates and horrible interfere.

[@Katie-vv6ff]

Minecraft o.o or ark

[@drevildruid]

I thought this would be just designing your own house and using the materials found on the island. But it's just another grind. I'm not happy with this patch, especially how the MSQ is gated to gear iLevel. I have the full Classic set but it's five points below the requirement and the only way to get the higher tier gear is to spam dungeons or craft it. Buying it with gil is out of the question as it's going for 2 million per piece on my server. I've enjoyed the game but the gating has ruined it for me. Thanks for the video though.

[@nickywoaht8971]

this content is just suppose to be a long time kinda thing. Why would they make this huge thing and just have people get it done in afew weeks? tf lol take ur time with it and enjoy it. *rollseyes*

[@magical11]

Did you not get the tomestone gear? You can't be upset if you didnt even get the basic stuff and had forever to do it

[@angelgodric]

This is deadem but worse I hate timegated mechanic is just trash

[@douglasjackson9691]

Kinda pointless. What's the plan? Max it out In a day and never go to it again. 😂

Don't play ff14 it's all buggy

[@kickemindafacestyleson6986]

it seems ppl like you live to break something that was meant for ppl to enjoy. You find some elation in breaking something down that someone else has spent time and care on. I think you don't need spread sheets, i think and hope you get help....
