Island Sanctuary.... hmmm

[SassyAssassin]

There's a set called "Isle Shepherd" that is a quest reward, so I assume it is from finishing the upgrade here.

Regrettably nice and I may be tempted to run this dreary content on more characters. This is a miserable place to pin so many glamours to.

That looks really nice actually!
Besides the annoyance now to level up again, island sanctuary really only takes a few minutes for only one day of the week once you get everything rolling and let your mammets do the work, you won’t even need to gather anything yourself anymore and you can make a profit or even just keep a bunch of goodies for yourself such as materias and dyes. Really annoying at first but super easy after.

This, really. I am not a fan of the systems they have in place for the island, but once you hit level 10 initially and have all the upgrades, it's pretty easy to get to a point where you can automate the full thing and rarely have to leave your base camp, possibly never depending on how hard you are going on the cowrie farming.

There is an IS discord group that is tremendously helpful and has guides for setting up a mostly hands-off system (you would need to set the workshop every two weeks), or if you're wanting to max out things, they have recommendations/guides for that as well (to the point where they will give you the daily req for the highest gain, no thinking needed!).

But yeah, there are plenty of other threads discussing the quality of IS, and this post isn't meant to address that...just trying to let you know there are resources out there that can help make farming up that outfit far less painful in the long-run.
