Not sure if I read the requirements for the Island Sanctuary right?

*Level 1
*Old Sharlayan (X:11.9 Y:11.0)
*Clueless Crier
*Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Endwalker."

So why even mention "Level 1", because a level 1 character is not going to have done Endwalker, besides maybe alt jobs? Why add this confusion to this? I think there might be some annoyed people (not myself, I meet the requirements) but others who have been playing and OWN Endwalker, so maybe it should have been accounts who own Endwalker?

I'm just confused by them putting level 1 as the first thing.:confused:

It's probably for alt jobs. There are quests in-game that unlock at certain points in the story that will give level 1 as a requirement since they're usually taking alt jobs into account.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Still seems odd and what of the people who purchased the expansion thinking they would get an Island but don't have characters high enough? Just playing devils advocate on this one.

Well they can, if they complete the expansion they bought.

It is odd, but this is SE we're talking about. They do things in weird ways. :3

You can be level 1 to enter the firmament I believe, but it requires hw story completion.

Similar thing here.

You can do the quests on your Island Sanctuary while you're on a level 1 or higher Job as long as you've finished the Endwalker MSQ. It is to indicate that it is not max level content, possibly that you can use it to gain exp. Not sure why you're confused.

The exact same thing that people who purchase the expansion thinking they would get immediate access to Extreme, Unreal, Savage, Ultimate, Maps, Ishgard Restoration, Bozja, Eureka, Hilidbrand, Beast Tribes, ect. out of it. It's not the first- or last-time things will be gate kept by the story for lore reasons. I don't know why people keep acting so surprised and disappointed by something this game has been doing since ARR with new content? Like perhaps we should wait and see what the Island actually is/does before we start complaining about its unlock requirements. This just really feels like people are stuck thinking it was supposed to be some Animal Crossing fix/solution to current housing and it has been stated several times that it isn't and to lower your expectations on what the Island even is.

Oh if they purchased Endwalker, then they are golden, they just need to do some things with Eorzea first. *winks*

Because it's funny.

Well thats easy. They list the level required for a quest or feature unlock first for EVERY quest or feature unlock. Its their standard formatting. In this case, as many have surmised, it allows you to put whatever exp you might earn onto any class you might be leveling at any level range.

Enter maybe but IIRC you had to be Lv20 to engage in diadem and crafting in there.

Do you really think someone will buy the expansion and appear out of nowhere in old Sharlyan?

When story skip allows you to skip the Endwalker story, the level 1 requirement means you don't have to buy a job boost as well.

No it doesn't.

The current skips you can buy gets you to the start of Endwalker, skipping ARR-SHB story.

It's a super guess but one thought might be this allows them to reduce the load and test it further, and it might be intended to open up to more players later (move the NPC to another, more accessible, location). Though I doubt it would be a 'level 1' reward still. Another is perhaps you can get exp from this stuff, at any level.

Day away to see potential further reasons :).

That's why I said When

It's pretty simple. You can accept the quest as a level one. So if you beat the msq as say a reaper and then switch to acher level 1 it'll still let you do it. No need to be on reaper lvl 90 to accept and do the quest.

Exactly. Future proofing, and early accessibility in future expansions when the story moves on. It's quite obvious really.

People who have finished the ARR storyline can visit other people's IS.

But you can't complete Heavenward at level 1 right?
