Island Sanctuary is one of the most anticipated additions to Final Fantasy XIV. It allows players to create their little farms, raise crops and animals, collect various materials and resources, build accommodations, and more. But of course, you'll need to unlock and access Island Sanctuary first, and we'll cover how to do just that.

What is the Island Sanctuary?

The Island Sanctuary feature is a full-blown private island. On the island, you're free to plant crops, raise minions, capture and herd animals for sustainable resources, and even build new structures to help facilitate further operations.

How to Unlock Island Sanctuary?

To unlock Island Sanctuary, you'll need to:

1). Island Sanctuary is only available to players who have purchased the Endwalker expansion, so you must have Endwalker.
2). You must be level one or above and have completed the main scenario quest 'Endwalker.'
3). You must accept the 'Seeking Sanctuary' quest from the Clueless Crier in Old Sharlayan at (X:11.9, YY:11.0).

How to Access Your Island Sanctuary?

Once unlocked, you can travel to your island sanctuary anytime by speaking to Baldin at Moraby Drydocks in Lower La Nosecea (X:24.9, Y:34.8).

How to Leave the Island Sanctuary?

Once on the island, you can leave anytime by using Teleport, Return, or interacting with the boat at (X:9.2, Y:28.3).

How to Get Back to the Island Sanctuary?

You'll need to talk to Baldin in Lower La Noscea (X: 24.9, Y: 34.8), who will helpfully ferry you back to the island.

How to Visit Other Players' Island Sanctuaries?

You can visit the islands of friends, party members, and free company members. The island's owner has to mark it as available for a visit, and they can exclude any of the three groups.

When you talk to Baldin in Lower La Noscea (X: 24.9, Y: 34.8), you can head to your island or visit others' islands.

How to Invite Other Players To Your Island?

You must complete the initial tasks from Felicitious Furball and create your Cozy Cabin before you can enable access for visitors.

Once you have done that, you can press the Settings icon in your Islekeep's Index menu to choose who you wish to allow on your island: friends, free company members, and party members.

How do I build an Island Sanctuary?

Once you've gathered up your resources by herding animals, chopping trees, and putting all the pieces together, you'll be all set to start building up your island.

To get started, you need to head back to the landing spot, where you'll find things like a notice board and vendors in a little hit. It's here where you'll be able to browse the structures you're able to build with the island's current state. Select what you want to place, and you're good to go.

What are the Island Sanctuary rewards?
