In this video, I will go over everything you need to know about Island Sanctuary. We’ll go over the workshop, farming the cropland, tending to animals as well as some gathering tips that even players some way into the Island Sanctuary experience may not know about!

I originally made a video that took about 20 hours to make on Island Sanctuary, but my editing software crashed which ended up corrupting the save file. I couldn't bring myself to make another video of that scope but still wanted to release something on Island Sanctuary due to the many requests for it. So here's me rambling for 24 minutes with some light editing. Hope it's still helpful!
Thank you for the guide! You're my favorite FFXIV youtuber with simple explanations and easy to digest guides!
How did you move isle sprint/isle return? I could not make it work
Hi Joisn, thank you very much for this guide. I've not really started Island Sanctuary due to it seemingly rather complicated. But your tips and guide here made it a lot easier to understand! I'll get started on mine now 🙂
Great guide! I really enjoy your content. Your guides are very thorough and well thought out. Good job!
I still want to flamethrower my island, you can smack it for me 👀
One thing I would add is that having your animals cared for will lock you out of releasing them. Also while I wouldn't necessarily recommend using the service for the pasture. It is totally worth it for the croplands, because not only do they collect the plants and water, but they also replant the crops in the same amounts so you don't even need to think about it.
is guide interactive? workshop solver gives the impression it is
In terms of tedium, I very much encourage paying the mammets to take care of the crops. It's a little too tedious to bother with when having to work the menu to go between planting the seeds, choosing the seeds, and watering multiple plots over a large space of travel. Plus, unlike the animals, it's only 5 seafarers per plot. 20 plots at half the cost that it takes to care for 20 animals.
Excellent guide as always. I noticed a lot of idiots on reddit and discord trying to minmax this shit when it's supposed to be slow smh. Thanks for not going that route.
I'm watching everything you do. It's great stuff! 👍
Love your content, you don’t need to apologize, 20 hours was amazing. <3
I only vist my island when I have nothing else to do. This makes it look really boring.
Maybe I missed it in the video (apologies if so) but in the Workshop, it's much easier to sort by Category in the drop down when picking what to make! Instead of reading each item, you group them by Category then just check which ones you have the mats for 🙂
Your videos are great, thank you so much!!
for those who've yet to set foot on the sanctuary, it might be fair to inform them that mounted flight is not possible until the sanctuary achieves rank 10 and the pathfinder mk V quest is completed.
