The truth about Island Sanctuary!

The island is just a glorified sweatshop we build for the evil mastermind Tataru.

We got promised our own paradise but everything we build is for the mammets while our only sleeping space is completely in the open next to the mammet shop, like we are some underpaid guest worker/slave to them.

Wake up people! We don't own this island, the island owns us! (But at least Merlwyb bought us hotpants...)

So reject the false promise of this green hell! Until we get our own small own cottage! No more treehouses for the mammets! No more hotsprings for them! No more lighthouses with no interior and no function! And soon, please no weird monuments that look like rollercoasters! We saved the damn universe, we deserve more than a stupid little bed!

*automate the gathering*
*macro the shipping*
*rake in the points to spend on rank X gathering/crafting materia*
*sell it at the marketplace*
If you get suckered into running a robo-sweatshop then nothing wrong with skimming off the top!

idk i spend most of my time in my spa....

I got what I wanted from it - the bike - and released all my animals. Haven't gone back there. If Tataru wanted a sweatshop manager, my WoL isn't the one showing up for duty.

Ok

Finished up getting everything out of it last week, but I've been doing it weekly still. I just don't garden/check animals anymore.

It's probably a bad idea. I feel like they're going to add onto IS but I also feel like if they do then they're going to add a new currency for it to prevent people with tons of cowries saved up from just auto-finishing the content in a few days.

Oh you can be sure we'll get a new currency they do that for lots of things. They won't let you stockpile the old and use it with new rewards.

It's casual for fun content. I'm not certain they'd bother. They didn't with the Skybuilder Scrip so players were buying new items day one of release to sell on the marketboard for millions.

You'll never get anything unless you ask/demand something. So, since the WoL (like all blank slate (J)RPG protags) lacks self-respect, you just take what little they give you. Be happy if the writers don't make your character thank them for it.

Also, since we've been working for evil incarnate, Rowena, since ARR, complaining now seems pretty pretentious.

I will keep visiting it until I got 1 Million cowries.
Its just going in there to tell the workshop what to do, with informations from a discord.

And every few days I loot the other automated things.

Thats like, 30min time investment in a week.

There's a discord/reddit post every week that outright gives you the best results for the schedule every day. So if you want to be lazy and basically get free materia via cowries, that's how to do it.

30 minutes? Dang I spend about 2 minutes every two weeks. It's engaging content

Oh I didn't realize that there was a discord for that. Last time I checked it was set up via a spreadsheet. I'll do that then. I don't need the materia but I'll take it anyways c:

They moved to discord just because it's easier but they also post on reddit. Here's the link.

I found most of the experience of building up the island to be enjoyable. Now I'm in "mostly automatic" mode. I follow the recommendations on the Island Sanctuary Reddit page - I only check animals/crops once/week. I rotate my granaries once per week. I haven't had to harvest anything since my second week. I'm in it now to get those achievements (cowries, crops, granaries, pasture). Whenever I get to 500k and finish those other achievements, I'll probably stop.

I'm treating cowries like MGP. Easy to build them up now and if they ever add anything, I'll have the cowries to buy whatever comes out.

The number of very seriously replies to this obvious joke post is alarming...

It's an easy way to get the rare dyes and all it takes is 15 minutes on Fridays to set everything up. Hopefully they don't change the currency next patch.

My poor mammets probably have no idea what to do. Went to the island once and never went back. Hopefully they swam back to the mainland or something.

Tataru isn't gonna like that. she's probably gonna take gil from your retainers. Everyone knows mammets can't swim, you've doom them.

Jokes on her, my retainers get as much attention as the mammets did.

Knowing those mammets, they're probably in the process of cheerfully building weapons of mass destruction.

*laugh*

Let me guess, the cat gave you an order, and you nodded, and DID it.

That made you lower then her in the command order, your just one of the mamets on the island.

It's HER job to send other mammets to go do things.
Your job is to tell her what you want.

She took over because you nodded.

To be fair, it's not like the player has a choice. EW's msq would have been a lot more fun if the game allowed the player choices! lol

Exactly why this is so hilarious.
Because she KNOWS this is going to happen to you, because you don't argue, you just agree.
Meanwhile on HER island she gave her copy of the catbot a right talking to and a smack on the side of the head, and she lays in a hammock in the shade and is brought tropical drinks all day.

They did confirm new stuff is going to be added to IS in 6.3. New materials, new workshop items, new rare animals, etc. Meaning there will likely be brand new stuff to buy alright. I do suspect they may add a special type of scrip just for the new stuff that will rotate after a main patch or two to keep people playing. Or they may just make it so you have to keep maxing out the rank to get it, who knows?

Yeah that's pretty likely to happen if only to keep people inside of island sanctuary a bit longer

I mean...

You aren't wrong, OP.
