  1. I don't understand why everyone had this idea that the nodes would respawn on a timer. Unspoiled nodes being the exception to the rule, every other gathering node in the whole game respawns once you've hit a certain number of other nodes.

  2. I dont know if i am extremly lucky but when i try to catch an animal i always slow walk behind it and then use the net
    Until now it never failed
    It got me thinking that when my first catch failed the game told me "the animal got alerted to your presence" or something like that so i thought "ok sneak behind them it is"
    Has someone similar experiences?

  3. #1 : Standard gathering node behaviour, just the number of nodes is higher (10 vs 3)
    #2 : Island Sanctuary isn't about efficiency 😛 Terrain features such as rocks, trees and cliffs will make the macro a pain to use. Also, if you forget to push the macro button, you will never move to another node… (and pushing a button was the whole reason for the macro)
    #6 : You can also try to catch animals from behind, to make them less aware of you and give you more chances… or so I thought.. (Still doing it though, for RP reasons :P)
    #7 : If somehow you managed to deadlock yourself out of an upgrade, you can rank up and gain cowries that way, by gathering, then crafting restraints and then catching (and releasing) animals.

    Also a tip: every time you rank up, check your crafting menu, as well as mammets and building markers.
    Mammets might give you upgrades or expansions, and buildings get an option to renovate them to the next tier.
    If you get new tools, check any nodes that previously only gave 1 item. Like if you get the shovel, dirt mounts now also give clay (on land) and tin sand (submerged), and some small plants can be dug up to get seeds. (For bigger plants you need the scythe.)
    Another tip: make sure you have room in your pasture before going out on a rare hunt 😛

  4. The problem is people are trying to rush this island. Chill. Take your time. It's fine to spend your money on the glamours as soon as you can but it would just mean it's going to be longer for you to get your island done. I mean, patch 6.2 just came out three days ago. And people are trying to clear the island in one day. Again… CHILL. lol

  5. There are weekly challenges for 100 gathered items and 20 produced crafts, both awarding 1000 seafarer cowries. They are in the Other category (formerly Eureka category.)

  6. When looking for an actual guide I'm level eight and I would strongly suggest working on your production facilities first which means expanding your land first from there your second priority would be your garden and your third priority is pasture

  7. Admittedly, I played too many games where petting actually does something or at least indicates mood so I completely glossed over the part where it tells you petting does nothing. Lol.

    That explains why all my animals are unhappy, cuz I can't make the good feed, yet. Lol.

    Last night, I discovered a gathering loop for limestone and I was so happy, lol. I was just running the loop while my static gathered for the new extreme fight.

    Also, you can accept party invites while on your island so you don't have to leave or do anything special when it's raid time.
