Island Sanctuary Rank 10 initially threw even me off, I was wondering if there were really no rewards for obtaining it. Ends up that’s untrue! It really was puzzling how to pass this and I stumbled across the answer purely through testing and running into the right answer randomly.
So I hope this information helps EVERYONE trying to get through Island Sanctuary cause I cannot possibly be the only one that hits rank 10 and goes WHAT WHERE ARE THE REWARDS????

i WAS GENUINELY SALTY WHEN I HIT RANK 9 AND SAW NO WAYS TO PROGRESS, THEN RANK 10 NO WAYS TO PROGRESS. I WAS LIKE… WHAT? Well, ends up those ranks DO have rewards! BUT THEY ARE AGAIN ROADBLOCKED REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait till next patch lol
Why Aurochs and not special monsters?
I have it expanded on adamantoise. 3k coweries was just 1 day of workshop 🙂
Kinda stuck at level 4 to be honest, any tips? did upgrade my pokecenter, made 2 factories, building my outpost, upgraded farmville but still at 9600/13500 do i just need to afk right click for hours now?
kinda disagree, the farming, while v slow, does give a ton of island exp for the time it takes, so is worth it for those who aren't planning to grind out the exp to get to 10 by running in a circle.
It's because they created the Island with the intent of giving players a casual, relaxing experience. If you're going for strategies to max profit and grind the heck out of it you'll be left with nothing to do later on, since it's supposed to take longer to do things the more you progress. The Island is literally like Animal Crossing, and yet people cheat by changing the date and time to get things early on that game… lmao
Saw the video yesterday and thought it was weird you didn't have any new areas unlocked, just got to rank 9 myself and seemingly at alot less of a grind. I just grind out the last few K after all the new builds and renovations are done. I've genuinely only ran 3 workshops with firesand and potions from the start and im pretty much at the same point you're at atm, finished the crops and animal rank 3 and now saving for area unlock and more rare resources for all rank 3 workshops. Honestly shocked that you've been hamstrung this badly, more so since i've been super inefficient with the workshop production, only really upgrading buildings to get better/more groove and better rewards. Wouldn't say its extremely time gated or even resources gated, haven't even been out a week and it's suppose to last for a few months.
Yoshi P literally said it's new content and not to rush it like everyone has been doing so I don't get the complaints or everyone being "daunted" by the hault…? like… it's obviously meant to last through the ENTIRE patch until 6.25… lol. It's meant to be casual, not grinded. You're literally sucking the fun out of it yourself.
Ths island feels too small for flying
I am at the same roadblock AND it is our own fault. xD We flew to close to the sun and now we get burned, this was meant to be relaxing content but well we didn't listen.
like others have said, i feel,like the intended loop of this was, log in, collect profits from workshops. set up the shops for the day, feed animals and water the farm, then collect items needed for whatever you need at the time or to hedge fund later workshop items, then do other things. you werent meant to get to 10 in 3 days.rather a few weeks i am sure. by which time you would have enough resources for everything you need. complaining about not having the resources after speed running to the end is like speed running a rpg and complaining about not having the hp to survive an aoe when you’re under leveled.
Cole, just take it slow xD everyone's trying to max everything so fast omg lol, when this is intended to be taken with no pressure.
I found myself at level 6, with everything maxed and my backpack, got to rank 7, and am required 4,500 cowries to upgrade the farm, the crops and unlock the new zone. Since I did upgrade my stuff to get exp, I didn't find myself with the red markers, already built the tools, just need to get more cowries which are coming every day since I have my 3 workshops working.
I'm testing different combination of items as I tried the potion/sand thingy but found out necklace + the wood weapon had a way better return in the 24hrs marker. So it seems to optimize cowries, you do need to pay attention to the demand and supply. Returns were x2-3 basically. Now I'm gonna test necklace (wood) -> chair (wood/furniture + bonus) -> brick (furniture + idk what else) -> copper helmet thing (8hrs) so just sacrificed the first necklace and chained everything under, chair has high demand and not enough supply, brick has very high demand and no supply, the copper helmet thing has non existant supply and very high demand. I do think it's intended to work like this, we'll see tomorrow how the returns reflect.
As for rank 3 upgrades: You need 3 garnet per workshop and 3 spruce log per granary to upgrade, you get these from the granary explorations. It is worth it, since cowries are coming from the workshop, 50 per day is not that much if you have optimized the returns from workshops, you can get around 1k cowries per day if you have the 3 workshops going. Plus the extras if you end up selling the animal's stuff, which I'm not conviced of since those are rare mats that don't come often.
So do the granary as soon as you get it, send them our to get garnet first, on my first one I got 3 🙂 so already have enough for 1 workshop, which I can't upgrade since that's rank 8 stuff ahaha! So yeah! It evens out.
Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!!
I wasn't min-maxing but I'm disappointing about Islands grind and rewards. Really shouldn't been made and focus on other content in the game.
Apparently playing it slowly isn’t all that relaxing seeing that y’all are running to these types of videos to talk shit. How do y’all find a way to get mad about something that has nothing to do with y’all?
Is it just me or is the volume nonexistent.
Should I go for anything specific with the granary, or just whatever? I don't wanna waste cowries just willy nilly.
I'm not sure what you expected. Yoshi-P has mentioned repeatedly that this is NOT content meant to be power-grinding or blitzed through. This is completely casual content to take slowly and leisurely. Hitting a roadblock seems entirely natural for content that is designed to be taken slowly.
Damn, I was hoping to see the rest of the map unlocked. I guess it's going to be a waiting game, granary for rare mats to upgrade to tier 3 on the buildings then the 3k dude you clicked who is still an angry red to me at level 8, then workshops til Christmas. At least for people with less time than me, they won't be behind which is nice.
My island is only rank 5, but I'm glad to see these tips videos so I can make sure I have workshops going continuously as a slowly work through the gathering required for upgrades and hopefully not get as blocked by currency.
It's been what, 3 days? And I'm already tired of Island sanctuary. Specifically the gathering aspect. I wasn't a fan of diadem and this is very much that. Taking a break the next two days.
i can confirm that tools which you made to unlock the last area are unlocked at rank 9 as i had both crops and animal areas fully upgraded at rank 8 and the item didnt turn up till rank 9
I love how the 14 community loves to say it accepts people playing the game how they want to play, until its in a way they just so happen to disagree with. Alota people in the comments trying to tell you your just wrong. For anyone pulling that, bright idea, maybe take a moment to realize the dev team, even for how much you love them, are not gods. They can, amazingly, make mistakes. Players should be able to enjoy the content how they want, especially when said content has NO effect on anyone else besides them. If he wants to spend 18hrs grinding to rank 10 and getting everything done, he should be able to. That has no negative effect on you, anyone else, or anyone on the dev team. Yall need to stop with the worshiping of anyone attached to 14. YOU are the reason we get called a cult.
Rank 9 since 3 hours ago and have to collected about 2.2k Seafarer's cowrie.
But does anyone knoe what groove means in the workshop's agenda as I saw it being at 25/25 when I last went to finish shipping the items.
I don't like the excuse of "its casual content" casual content should still be able to do at a reasonable pace, but they on purposely left road blocks and time gated areas to stop people from progressing. They could have added fates or something in the world to give you extra currency or let us turn in special items depending on the time or weather to give us more of the currency needed.
So there is no excuse for the whole "its a casual thing" they had plenty of ways to make it so it can be much more enjoyable. Making it casual was there way of basically saying "we know we made it grindy and time gated but we won't actually say it"
As I said in a comment n one of your videos before: I hate the gating and newbtraps.
I'm basically not spending anything, have 2 graneries and 2 blacksmiths and 2 landmarks, and got to rank 6 today.
I'm not spending a single Blue on ANYTHING, even the stuff I want. I figure the graneries can keep supplies coming in and when I get more plots I'll probably build a third workshop. I'm not sure what else to do at the moment. But like you said around 4:50, I think the best goal is for me to unlock everything first then worry about buying glam and stuff later with better resources/income.
I know this is frustrating for you, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this stuff!! I've been sending my granaries for the spruce logs since your other video warned me about that. I'm a bit behind you, but I appreciate all the heads' ups you're giving. Thank you so much, man!
I've been working on optimizing what I have my workshops doing, but that is cause I've been upgrading everything as I go along. I had the mammet show up as early as rank 7, but I currently can't make the tools for them to unlock the last part yet.
About half way through Rank 7 so far, got all buildings up, running and renovated, 3 workshop lines running full time, granaries on 7 day expeditions. Just expanded farm and pasture. Life is good.
I was stuck there aswell, I thought: okay maybe I need to upgrade everything else before it shows available and I was right.
Thanks so much for confirming that rotten idea of mine – very cool explanation too <3
after lv 10 is slow burn…
not sure what you thought was going to happen anyway, the whole process was the exact same from the tutorial lol. you mashed your head against the wall only to find out the wall is still going to be there anyway Despairge
In your next video. Remember to mention that the island sanctuary is passive progression. You won't hit rank 10 any time soon, unless you want to spend about 2 whole days grinding. I hit rank 5 when I realized it. It's a daily check thing. Go in check your animals, workshop and granary. Since your gardens, yeah, everything I see there is every two days. So the only thing you need to worry about grinding out is your workshop schedule, and you can set what they make 4 days at a time.
So…
Pasture – Daily
Gardens – 2 days – Read your seeds to see how long they take to grow.
Granary – 1-7 days.
Workshop – 4+ Hours. Can be set for a week, or more.
I mean, I hit rank 6 not long after I realized it. And after that, all I had to go do was grind out some mats for building upgrades. I made sure I had the mats to set my workshop to work for two days previously.
I noticed your farm is just full of Aurochs. I'm curious why that is? Is this (in your opinion) the optimal farm?
Not everyone wants to min max on the island sanctuary. Some people just want to have fun and do what they want. No hate. I'm just saying
