There is supposed a quest for island in 6.55 patch, I think.
Just ignore the island and come back within a week to check the schedule items
Am I the only one who hates the aesthetic of those red brick industrial buildings? I mean, come on… it's an island sanctuary. Totally killing that relaxing vibe.
Oh that’ll look good on my Christmas Island
People ask why there never anything to do….cause ya power through the content and bam nothing to do. Take your time you will get to max enjoy the content cause once January comes we won't have no more new content till 7.0
Personally, not a big fan of the island. It was cool at first, but I just reached rank 14 and the tedium is really starting to ramp up.
Starting to dislike them putting content in the game and then completely abandoning it. It’s very Blizzard.
I really hope this doesnt go away and grows with expansions. Just nice to unwind and relax in between duty roulettes for me
Someone’s dad’s clothes as the glam
It's sad as I think a lot of the feedback to Island Sanctuary was tainted from the start by people who either had massively exaggerated expectations for it or by people who grinded and spreadsheeted it to death such that they were burnt out on it in a week (despite the devs saying repeatedly both that the island was NOT going to be housing or a full Animal Crossing/Stardew Valley game in FF14 and that the island was intended as casual, long term content). And of course there were also the people who hated IS even existing because they viewed it as taking away a Eureka or Bozja style combat zone experience. So, yeah, while IS does have it's problems (some of which were fixed over time) there were a substantial amount of players who essentially hated on it for no reason and this sort of poisoned the well. The developers were never really going to get proper, objective opinions on the content so I can't say I was surprised when I heard they were essentially ending IS development.
Personally I just hope that the next bit of lifestyle content we do get learns the lessons from the missteps of IS and that players actually give it a chance.
I actually like the reward glam XD Its something my husband would wear and joke at him that I'm cosplaying as him in game.
The copy agenda is my favourite addition to the island this patch, although I do really like all the cosmetic upgrades to the island and the felicitous favour system. I do feel like it'd probably a good point for them to leave the sanctuary development and just give it a smattering of new rewards every now and then – outdoor items will always be new things to play with on the sanctuary, but I know for me the odd mount, minion, or other reward for the currencies are what will get me returning to the island every now and then.
My hope for next expansion is that they try something a bit different with the lifestyle content, because the island has grown into a pretty nice if limited and not quite what people were hoping for piece of content. As single player content rather than battle content requiring other players, it's totally healthy for them to do a soft retirement of the content in order to try again with the lessons learnt.
My personal dream for next expansion's version (spoiler for 6.5 msq) is that it's a void restoration mission where we can bring in npcs from the msq and various relevant side quests, who could each unlock some new functionality to the zone, and slowly restore a part of the 13th. I don't think restoring the void will ever be an expansion because it'd feel disingenuous to do it without eden and shadowbringers' final role quest tying back into it, but those are not likely to ever be required for msq, especially forcing people to level and play every role. But if we had some lifestyle content that doesn't require the quests, but gets more systems unlocked if you did them, that could be a very satisfying plot line to tie to lifestyle content, with a bit more substance than just hanging out on an island as a break after EW msq.
Felicitous Favors can be unlocked at rank 19 with all buildings at rank 5, and the items you need to craft are NOT the same for everyone R.I.P just crafting the stuff from the island bot in discord LoL.
YoshiP: Island Sanctuary is a cool relaxing side activity, like a vacation for your Warrior of Light.
Island Sanctuary players: speedrun max rank almost immediately
lol
Disappointment on top of disappointment. I really have come to dislike this part of the game.
I haven't finished the video (in case you mention it later), but you can change the paving, pathways, and stairs types independently from the hideaway and each other. I believe it's accessible through the hideaway board, and it costs glam prisms to do so.
Definitely agree that taking your time on your island is great. I too, have grown fond of my island. All I can say is enjoy the game and play through everything you want to do before DT <3
You can buy/sell Vegetal Vouchers on the marketboard so you could buy it instead of doing the 7 month grind for it manually, also people have opened some of those lootboxes and have gotten glams/furnishings from them, the Minmisle Hat for example is confirmed to be in there.
Man I love that polo shirt glam lol thats honestly what I want from this new patch rewards!
Irl thats my type of clothes some good old Polo 👕 shirt with short pants – I know people dont like it because it looks nerdy and like dad looking but I freaking love it ❤️
Thank you, Meoni! For no lifing the game so that I can see all the stuff at rank 20.
I farmed max rank fast last time for the baronial set but don't think I have the energy this time
wow! looking forward to the new look! ty for bumrushing to max level to show us the new features!
love how the overall look went from primitive to industrial age to futuristic, love it!
tell the mammets to you flexseal!
i think they'll come back to adding more things to the island maybe in later patches or expansions. seems like too much work to just abondon it
The fact that this content took any development time away from other content should be criminal.
got that summer dad fit for rank 19.
And here I am taking this casually as intended, still at rank 18. Man you all really can take a casual content and turn it up to 100…
Lot better take on the isle, lesson learned.
Meoni the flooring IS NOT TIED to the main building!!! You are free to customize the the Paths, Slopes, and Grounds independently of the main building by clicking on the Cozy Cabin Logboard outside the main building then selecting "Change the hideaway's appearance." This will let you select the flooring you want for those 3 areas independently of each other and the main building
With Xbox on the way they should make this proper private housing and turn the district's into FC only housing.
I hope Islands don't get left behind and forgotten. It would even be nice if they add new rewards in the future such as other new looks for the cabin/workshops etc and the odd quest every now and then with new visitors/Tatatru. Anything is better than it being left behind like garrisons in World of Warcraft
The worst part is the favors. The fact that the mount takes 200 vouchers (7 months of grinding.) and the material container has a RNG mount aswell. Yes you can buy the vegetal vouchers on the MB, it takes WAYYY too long.
No additional room for more animals, despite them adding more animals the last two patches and no more room to grow more plants despite them adding more seeds for the last two patches as well… feels bad. Dissappointing. Also why do robots need two days rest? I never understood the need for that…
It’s rather sad they don’t want to do more for the sanctuary. With the housing issues I found the sanctuary to be a good alternative. There is so much they can add to it
You can change the paving from the menu without needing to change the main hut
How do you get to the island?
I do like island sanctuary, but it also feels like it failed to meet most of my hopes by only going halfway. I really wanted to enjoy a farmer life, so having more crop plots even if only a few would be nice due to the sheer variety of crops, given the variety of animals I at least wish I had enough room to collect all the rare ones. Most of all The housing situation in the game has always been awful and island sanctuary would have been a blessing if it offered and actual house for the player to decorate which could free up housing in the wards to fc's. Even if that only came at a maximum rank or something… This all sounds rather ungrateful, I do like the content, but perhaps my hopes as a lover of farming games got the better of me and spoiled this content.
the outfit is cute, yeah, now i just need to find 5 spots in my glam dresser for it 😀
For me, Island sanctuary activity will live or die by whether they add the next expansion's materia to it.
Don't think they will tbh.
Otherwise there just won't be enough value to go out there.
Dyes are nice, but there's limited demand.
The mount will probably be worth a lot but that's a big time investment.
Whereas Materia was such an easy dump for personal use and quick guaranteed gil
I like the shoes, but they don't fit the rest of the outfit at all.
I'm stuck im level lv.5 and can't do any quests because there licked behind the blue currency.
