FFXIV Island Sanctuary Guide: 7 Common Mistakes You MUST AVOID

[@DarkShadow84]

Anyone that leveled gathering shouldn't be surprised by how the nodes respawn. It's the same mechanic as in the rest of the game.

[@Gamemaster-64]

Except gathering it not between so many and at least you can get more items per node. God I wish there an upgrade to get 2 per node right now.

[@stahmedpendragonguinevere2711]

Someone who's been in game for 8 months, didn't know that.

is it? been playing for years and never knew.

[@cicisstormshelter1076]

Yoshi-P: 😭 Sorry, Yoshida, but Americans are just filthy Pokemon competitives. Be grateful you banned people for using mods or else this would be like Wolfglicke. :( Also, I feel vindicated and do not regret ignoring FFXIV anymore now that I found out that Yoshida has locked Island Sanctuary, a mode I'd love to explore, to post-Endwalker, because I deleted the only character who ever got to 6.1 because he was filthy disorganized.

[@kfk4441]

I'm not sure why I've seen so many people thinking that nodes spawn by waiting, regular gathering works by doing a cicle of x amount of collected nodes

[@SeedlingNL]

Yeah, as a gatherer myself, I noticed it right away. But I think Quazii hasn't gathered a node in his entire career in FFXIV :P

[@r2dezki]

Petting animals is fun.

[@Maddog3060]

Funny thing is when they unlock petting mode they do take a moment to tell you it does nothing. ;) But yes, save those blue tokens for the expansion. I for one am thoroughly enjoying the FF14 Sandwich Islands. ;)

[@Ariancia.Thystarian]

When I reached that point I already stopped reading because there where to much information to absorb about the different things XP

[@FF-tp7qs]

And then they introduce a new colour cowrie for the update

[@tyler5013]

One of the tips I found elsewhere was that you can use the dancer dash when the next node is just out of reach but not far enough to warrant summoning your mount. Its something that completely slipped my mind until they mentioned it

[@CrystVeno]

Dancer dash or Reaper warp, I've been using those to move in town.

[@Windupchronic]

It you use the on-screen Sprint prompt you can spam Sprint. It will pop again before Sprint wears off, meaning you can always have it up.

[@eredkaiser]

@@Windupchronic I just replace my normal sprint with the duty action while on the island.

[@FinnelAT]

@@CrystVeno Yea but max lvl dnc has 3 dashes that u can use at a single time, but is has cd after that. So slight advantage over rpr. Of coz switching between the 2 classes is also other option.

[@clintonwilcox4690]

The game actually tells you in the guide that petting animals does not affect game play.

[@Lorkanthal]

fortunately i avoided mistake 7 because none of the items i could afford were enticing for me and then I hit the point where it says you need to use them to expand. Knowing they are a valuable currency for expanding the island made the choice to just hold onto them very easy.

[@QuaziiFFXIV]

Probably wouldn’t believe you honestly haha

[@_Encie]

There are multiple people in my FC who burned themselves out by trying to optimize everything on the island. I don't see the point in trying to be optimal with it. I think the island is perfect to enjoy at a leasurely pace. People act like it's some kind of bad thing that needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. Kinda defeats the purpose imo.

[@Strider_Shinryu]

While I agree and I don't see the point in min-maxing it either, I'm fine with letting others do as they want. What I don't want to hear, however, is people complaining that there's nothing left to do or that they've accomplished everything there is to do after a weekend just because they chose to binge the content in a couple of days. If you choose to do slow paced leisurely content with a spread-sheeted, community sourced, break neck pace and blast through it all in the blink of an eye, that's not the fault of the content, that's your fault for doing it that way.

[@_Encie]

@@Strider_Shinryu My thoughts exactly.

[@Windupchronic]

Yeah, I don't think you need to be optimal. I had some people criticizing me for making two granaries instead of a third workhouse, but whatever. That said, I feel sorry for people who spend their early blue shells on glams.

[@sleepysera]

This. I grew really frustrated after hitting rank 5 yesterday when I had nothing left to do but gather thousands of items for hours on end (which I did until I hit rank 6) and decided to give up on it or else I'd start hating the content itself. Today I realized I get half a level just from passives alone anyways, so why should I force myself to ruin the fun? Now I just gather what I need for crafts and market stuff :) A few of my friends and static members meanwhile have completely no-life'd it and are rank 9 right now, all just frustrated and bored and complaining in discord and linkshell constantly. Sure, it's their choice, but as someone who was very close to falling into the same pitfall, I just feel sorry for them that what was supposed to be a fun, relaxing side content turned into a frustrating grind for them instead.

Thanks for the guides, Quazii! I am having a great, relaxing time taking things at my own pace, but also enjoying discovering efficient ways to do things like figuring out what to create in workshops based on supply/demand. I already can't wait for more content expansions! This may just be my favorite side content they have ever created.

[@Megumi-dz1mm]

Admittedly, I played too many games where petting actually does something or at least indicates mood so I completely glossed over the part where it tells you petting does nothing. Lol. That explains why all my animals are unhappy, cuz I can't make the good feed, yet. Lol. Last night, I discovered a gathering loop for limestone and I was so happy, lol. I was just running the loop while my static gathered for the new extreme fight. Also, you can accept party invites while on your island so you don't have to leave or do anything special when it's raid time.

[@randomhandle121]

I made an amendment to the mount macro, and I've been happy with it. The issue it addresses is when a node is near enough to be visible but too far to target. I face in the direction of the node and use the macro. It still attempts to target the node from my current position, but it will attempt again after 3 seconds in case it was too far to target the first time. The subcommand "on" in "/lockon on" is used in case the first attempt was successful. Without it, the lock would disengage, and you zoom off again. 🙃 ------------------------- /mount "MOUNT NAME" /targetnpc /lockon /automove /targetnpc /lockon on

[@Caursten]

5:20 The Guide essentially says this when you look up The Pasture and Petting subheading.

[@boarMcberry]

few tips: - cheat on watering plants: use the rare mob schedules which requires rain weather, then simply zone to island on that window - insta plant watering! - capturing rares: this is just a mere suggestive method, but... NIN with "Hide", got me caught every rares with way less hassle. lol

[@rafaomegax]

The Petting the animals thing, even the game said it doesn't do anything in the introduction. XD

[@kendric99]

Thank you for this! I just started working on my island yesterday and you've definitely cleared up a couple of things I was confused on.

[@Some__Guy]

I found out that nodes respawn in order after you go through a certain amount, because there was one small area filled with rocks and palm trees that I went through, and as I circled back around to do the rocks again, every time I gathered at one node, the one in front of me would respawn.

[@SeedlingNL]

You can also see it in the two underwater areas very clearly. You seem to clear out the entire area, until you go back to where you started to see the nodes started to appear again.

[@Shadethewolfy]

I figured this out gathering things from the seafloor. I thought "Oh, I'll just gather these to clear them out, go mine my copper then come back to get more while the copper respawns". NOPE, the nodes were respawning while I was gathering them lol. You can also do this in the Peak area (lower right of the map); there are a bunch of trees and bushes on a hill with copper nodes along the ridge. So if you need a ton of copper, it's a good route to go on.

[@ekki6820]

I'm happy to say the only mistake I made? Was thinking petting did something. I was convinced it helped my animals acclimate to being penned up. Make them friendlier towards me. The rest of these? Honestly... I feel they're just logical. I no-life'd my sanctuary hard for two straight days and noticed the nodes respawning behind me within the first eight hours. I noticed capture chances were utterly batshit insane, and random. All in all, I'm glad I didn't make many of these mistakes. Especially the cowries one.

[@KMCA779]

I went through so many of the T2 nets to catch a chocobo. I was starting to get a bit angry

[@QuaziiFFXIV]

you are too kind

[@PubstarHero]

My guy, the actual text for "Petting Animals" is "While your soul may experience rejuvenation from patting happy animals, this has no practical effect on gameplay" Also for #6 - There are 3 types of spawns for rares. There are Eorzea Time spawns, there are Weather spawns, and there are ET+Weather spawns. So even if you wanted to catch some rares at certain times/weater, you really couldn't.

[@ShinryuMasaki]

I learned that the thing I want to buy first before anything else is locked behind Rank 10 and cost 24,000 Seafarer's Cowries, so I'll have to save up quite a lot before I can buy it! But when the time comes, that Garlond GL-II motorcycle will be well worth it!

[@SeldimSeen1]

You can review the status of the pet. If they need to be fed or if they have leaving for you. The NPC associated with the pen will tell you. You just have to click "review." That's available on the crop NPC too.

This was really informative. It'll really be useful for me when I get to the Island Sanctuary. Thx for putting this up 😊

[@DJToMyHits]

When looking for an actual guide I'm level eight and I would strongly suggest working on your production facilities first which means expanding your land first from there your second priority would be your garden and your third priority is pasture

[@ryanelliott6706]

Mistake #8: don’t build 2 granaries as your 3rd and 4th building. They costs scripts to send out expeditions. It’s better to get a third workshop instead. Mistake #9 don’t forget to upgrade your workshops, granaries, and cozy cabin. You can do that by walking up to the wooden sign and at new levels you can upgrade them using new materials.

[@mattwood3105]

Actually you do want to build Granaries pretty early, there are materials needed to upgrade your buildings to level 3 that can only be obtained through the Granary missions so getting at least a few of those going will help you later. but getting to 3 workshops as fast as you can will help you get the currency needed to unlock more of your island so its a toss up at the earliest you can/should get your granaries set up.

[@pertown]

@@mattwood3105 would you happen to know which rare materials those are? So I know where to send the expeditions?

[@mattwood3105]

@@pertown i know what is needed to get the Granary and Workshop to stage 3, I don't know if it changes or just requires more to stage 4, but the workshop needs Raw Island Garnet and the Granary needs Island Spruce Logs (both need 3 for their level up per building)

[@luc1ferous]

Mistake #10 Randomly queueing up Handicrafts! Instead pay attention to the tags to properly chain efficiency bonuses, plus try to make stuff with increasing demand.

[@Windupchronic]

That's not necessarily true. I did two granaries, started sending out expeditions. When I hit level 7 I was only 44 blue short of leveling the new area and making a third workshop, which only meant an hour wait for a shipment to sell. It actually worked out pretty well.

[@lhfirex]

I'd still like to see them change the node respawn pattern for the island specifically. With other gathering it's good, but with the island it feels super stressful and also really tedious. So personally I'd like the items to have a way longer respawn timer, but give significantly more items/exp when gathered. At least for me, right now this feels way more compulsive instead of side content, with how it's asking for tons of materials to make/upgrade buildings and how little island exp you get from gathering.

[@urdessstardancer9598]

I agree, it feels way to grindy to be relaxing. I like you idea of less spawns but more items per spawn.

[@Windupchronic]

Sprint works underwater, so you can swim faster when gathering in those areas. In fact, if you use the special on screen Sprint prompt, you can _spam_ Sprint. It will become available again before it wears off, so can always have Sprint up.

[@raeyon8261]

Correction about the full pen. You can actually catch more with a full pen. If you capture it successfully, the pasture menu opens and you can choose an animal to release so you can add in the newly captured animal.

[@Windupchronic]

@@raeyon8261 Okay, I'll remove that part, then. But I swear I had at least 15 fails to capture when I had a full pen. I released one, and immediately got a capture on my next try.

[@nhahtrebor91]

[@DJToMyHits]

Another pro tip is you can make a substantial amount of money if you just pay attention to the workshop and the demand

[@omgnerv]

this whole discussion on playing optimal wouldn't be a thing if resources etc. weren't gated. this promotes the feeling of having to make a spreadsheet & avoid "mistakes". now it's a "mistake" if i want to buy a certain glamour and if i don't be aware in advance i'll later regret that i bought something.

[@chaz706]

Here's my question Quazil: What are the unlocks you get at each Island Sanctuary level?

[@ThePawn02]

My wish list has 2 things on it. 1) Real fishing 2) Keybind the different Modes from the Isle Index.

[@VampireNoblesse]

imo play as physical ranged, roll action Peloton can help a bit too

[@eredkaiser]

I don't understand why everyone had this idea that the nodes would respawn on a timer. Unspoiled nodes being the exception to the rule, every other gathering node in the whole game respawns once you've hit a certain number of other nodes.

[@TheOneWhoShallAsk]

Quick question, anybody figure out what the landmarks do yet? I did read that they grand a boost of some kind. There ain't really a way to check what boost each individual one grands

[@Vircomore]

One thing I discovered is that landmarks affect Groove. Every time your workshop completes a 'efficient combo' craft, you earn one point of Groove for the whole island. Groove points increase the sale value of crafted goods. Groove resets every Tuesday, but the way that landmarks help is that your cap on Groove is 10x number of completed landmarks. It's a good idea to do lots of quick combo crafts early in the week to get max Groove, then do longer more valuable crafts once your Groove is up.

[@TheOneWhoShallAsk]

@@Vircomore oh neat, i didnt even know that! Is there anyway to check the current groove state?

[@Red-fg9qr]

Nodes work the same way in island sanctuary than outside, however outside its 4-5 nodes iirc, you can even just touch the node opening the UI but not gathering it and move, it will reset the #6. Regarding the macros, I don't know if this is new or w/e but, you don't need to use macros to use the actions, both are in the general tab on the job actions. The macro shown here works when there's no obstacles, if you find an obstacle it's gg, you need to reset it etc. can get messy About petting, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN here i am petting my animals thinking it'd improve their mood just to find out feeding them food from the crops is the wae.

6:00 that one guy with 100k hours on ff14: is “earth time” a new thing in 6.2 I checked all the settings and can’t find it 🤔

[@SeedlingNL]

#1 : Standard gathering node behaviour, just the number of nodes is higher (10 vs 3) #2 : Island Sanctuary isn't about efficiency :P Terrain features such as rocks, trees and cliffs will make the macro a pain to use. Also, if you forget to push the macro button, you will never move to another node... (and pushing a button was the whole reason for the macro) #6 : You can also try to catch animals from behind, to make them less aware of you and give you more chances... or so I thought.. (Still doing it though, for RP reasons :P) #7 : If somehow you managed to deadlock yourself out of an upgrade, you can rank up and gain cowries that way, by gathering, then crafting restraints and then catching (and releasing) animals. Also a tip: every time you rank up, check your crafting menu, as well as mammets and building markers. Mammets might give you upgrades or expansions, and buildings get an option to renovate them to the next tier. If you get new tools, check any nodes that previously only gave 1 item. Like if you get the shovel, dirt mounts now also give clay (on land) and tin sand (submerged), and some small plants can be dug up to get seeds. (For bigger plants you need the scythe.) Another tip: make sure you have room in your pasture before going out on a rare hunt :P

[@Ladywizard]

Or you can just check tools and the manage hideaway button... items that are upgradeable will have a review mats button... I think I just got a fishing harpoon at rank 7 for the dive nodes

[@briandye9094]

my pets have leavings but I cannot gather them....

[@muajin]

Does the landmark you build matter?

[@Zerokunz]

Also, do NOT spend any blue island money on Expeditions! They do not give you any experience when the Automatons come back and they give only 2 of the “rare” material for that area. You will need these blue coins later for expansion. Instead, just save them and get your workshops going to make sure that you’re getting the efficiency bonus and the most value out of your time. Restrict yourself to island found materials only.

[@SeedlingNL]

You need those rare materials for the later expansions, but you can also use them to make more profitable island crafts. And now that more people are started to sell items, the non-granary items are oversupplied to a diminishing market, whereas the granary items are more then twice as profitable, AND have low supply and high demand. But it wouldn't surprise me if the market changes to a point where quantity > quality, in a back and forth cycle.

My first mistake was soending all my cowries to buy an orchestrion roll..

But I thought playing FFXIV is all about going blind into new content? :P During Workdays my time is limited so I did MSQ and 2 of the 4 new raid bosses so far. May look for that new Island tomorrow. :) Ah, also did Hildibrand because I thought relic questline would start right away… xD

Just a heads up: Did my second set of 'Leavings' today and ended up getting two items off one animal. Had a Coblyn give a Fang and Carapus at the same time. They were still 'sad' and only fed apples the day before. Not sure if just by chance or might be tied to something yet.

good feedback, let me write that down to look into

[@Ladywizard]

apple feed will only get them to content(white cloud) status higher is crop feed

[@noxyoshi]

Do shiny animals give special rewards or increased rewards?

Eating the sinful desserts and cakes of Island sanctuary so we won't have to. Thank you Quazii.
