FFXIV Island Sanctuary released in patch 6.2 gave us the freedom to gather, farm, grow and build our island. But upon hitting level 10 and capturing all the rare animals, there is very little left but a daily list of chores if you are working towards the mounts.
I spend the first few weeks manually gathering, farming and using the workshop, but quickly realised this would lead to burnout as it no longer felt fun. So I wanted to share a video of how to fully automate your island so you only need to come here when you want to and still get all the items you want.
I hope you found this video useful and if you have any other tips, please share them in the comments.

its nice tipps and so, but you still need to collect the mats for the workshop! so what you say is not complettly true!!
You know you can use the sprint macro to gather from you animals too? 🙂
The issue with putting the animals and farm on auto, thats 300 a day so for a week that's a loss of 2100. If you're on every day already, may as well take 15mins to do the feeding and watering yourself.
Is a time gate trash
Interesting I didn't know about saving the presets.
100/day cowries for automated crops is a worthy price but not the 200/day for pastures. I agree that the granaries replace your field gathering, as long as you farmed up a good 150 or so of everything.
Thaanks…. i was clueless about this
I knew about the presents, I just use the guide everyone has been passing around. Day 1 rest and get on to set grove items for two days and check the guide again for last 3. Also to note, you can not release animals under caretakers so if you are full and see a rare you must end the caretaker first.
I feel like the presents are counter to the core function of workshops, at least until you get all the one time rewards.
Also there's a bugged patch of ground that you shouldn't be able to land on but can near the top of the mountain.
