Final Fantasy 14 Island Sanctuary: Building Guide

Final Fantasy 14's latest patch released Island Sanctuary, a location for players to live out their farming dreams. While the island is filled with animals and crops to collect, the beginning core content is about building. The Cozy Cabin is to be built and upgraded along with other facilities such as Granaries and Workshops. Additionally, players can build landmarks.

Some buildings are only open to the player depending on their island rank. There is also a limit to how many of one kind of building can exist on the island. While playing this Final Fantasy 14 content, be prepared to gather a lot of resources to build these areas up.

The Cozy Cabin

The Cozy Cabin is the island centerpiece, where players can access orchestrions and merchants. It can be upgraded to level three. Unlike other constructions, the Cozy Cabin does not take any real-world time to upgrade and build.

Cabin Type	How To Unlock	Resources Required
Cozy Cabin One	Do the Island Sanctuary Tutorial.	10 Island Palm Logs 10 Island Palm Leaves 5 Island Vines 5 Island Stones 5 Island Sand
Cozy Cabin Two	Get to Sanctuary Rank Four.	10 Island Logs 10 Island Vines 10 Island Limestone 5 Island Palm Leaves 5 Island Copper Ore
Cozy Cabin Three	Get to Sanctuary Rank Seven.	10 Island Logs 10 Island Limestone 10 Island Cotton Balls 5 Island Hemp 5 Island Clay

Workshops

Workshops are accessible from rank one. Up to three can be built on the island, and it is recommended to do so as soon as possible because they allow avenues to collect cowries, which will be required to expand the island. They can all be upgraded to level three.

Workshop Type	How To Unlock	Resources Required	Real-World Build Time
Workshop One	Complete "A Workshop of Wonders" quest.	10 Island Logs 10 Island Palm Leaves 10 Island Limestone 5 Island Vines 5 Island Sand	None for the first one. 1 to 2 hours for the others.

Granaries

Up to two Granaries can be built on the island, and they are just as useful as the Workshops. With them, the player can get mammets to collect resources for them via expeditions (though they will take real-world time to do this). In these expeditions, they can get rare resources the player otherwise cannot get, like garnets and spruce logs. Like the Workshops and Cozy Cabin, Granaries can also be upgraded to rank three.

Granary Type	How To Unlock	Resources Required	Real-World Build Time
Granary One	Get to Sanctuary Rank Five.	10 Island Palm Logs 10 Island Logs 10 Island Clay 10 Island Copper Ore 5 Island Vines	1 to 2 hours.

Granary Three	Get to Sanctuary Rank Eight.	15 Island Logs 15 Island Iron Ore 10 Island Leucogranite 10 Island Clay 3 Island Spruce Logs (collected through foraging expeditions)	11 to 12 hours.

Island Landmarks

Up to four landmarks can be built on the island. Each of them increases an island stat called "Workshop Groove," which is a stat that increases Workshop export value.

Island Prisms

Island Prisms can be used on any building to edit its design. For example, if the player has a preference for the first version of the Cozy Cabin, they can use an Island Prism on a fully upgraded Cozy Cabin to give it that other look. The same can be done with paths and the flooring of building areas.

Island Prisms can be purchased on the Market Board or crafted by any crafting class. The recipe for the item changes depending on the crafting class used; however, all versions require a level nine Master Recipe Book. These books are obtained via Script Exchange NPCs.
