Island Sanctuary is a new feature added to Final Fantasy XIV Online in Patch 5.5. This feature lets players create their own small island paradise where they can raise animals, grow crops, and decorate their island with various outdoor furnishings. As with most features in FFXIV, Island Sanctuary will receive updates in Patch 6.4. Here's what we know so far.

 

• New Ranks and Visions
• New Gathering Area in the Wilds
• New Construction Plots in the Hideaway
• New Item Rewards
• Support for Outdoor Furnishings

 

↖ New Ranks and Visions

The update will bring new ranks and visions to the Island Sanctuary. These new ranks will likely give players access to new items, materials, and structures to decorate their island with. The new visions will provide new quests for players to complete that will increase their rank.

 

↖ New Gathering Area in the Wilds

The update will add a new gathering area to the Island Sanctuary. The location of this gathering area is not yet known, but it will likely be somewhere in the "wilds." This could be a separate piece of land that players can access, or it could be an area on their existing island.

 

↖ New Construction Plots in the Hideaway

The update will also add new construction plots to the Hideaway area of the Island Sanctuary. These new plots will allow players to place more buildings on their island, which will give them more options for decorating and customizing their island.

 

↖ New Item Rewards

The update will introduce new FFXIV items rewards for players to earn in the Island Sanctuary. These rewards will likely include new mounts, materials, craftable items, crops, animals, and IOU works handicrafts. There will also be new structures, such as a clock tower, which will serve as a new landmark.

 

↖ Support for Outdoor Furnishings

The most exciting new feature in the 6.4 updates for Island Sanctuary is the support for outdoor furnishings. Players will now be able to place up to 90 outdoor furnishings on their island. This will allow them to create even more elaborate and unique designs for their island paradise.

However, there are some restrictions. Certain special furnishings, such as striking dummies and gardens, will not be supported. Additionally, players will need help to place furnishings inside structures like cabanas.

 

Conclusion

Island Sanctuary is a fun and creative feature in Final Fantasy XIV Online that allows players to create their own island paradise. The upcoming update in Patch 6.4 will add new ranks, visions, a new gathering area, new construction plots, new item rewards, and support for outdoor furnishings. With these new features, players will have even more options for customizing their island and making it their own.
