I've tried 10 Times to catch the Alligator. Failed 10 Times.
The RNG in FINAL FANTASY XIV is worse than in Gacha Games.
I'm playing 2 Gacha Games besides FINAL FANTASY XIV. I've got more luck as a Free Player in those Gacha Games than in this Subscription Game.
And it's not only Island Sanctuary. This takes effect on any content in FINAL FANTASY XIV.
Ridiculous.

I say good game for Island Sanctuary, got my 17k cowries per week title



Still another day to hit over 20k. put rest on day 6 because the ear cuffs are meh. Day 7 is good to farm cowries with Garnet Rapier

How do you get nearly 6k crowns from just 12 isle grow formulas? Is this some kind of bug or did you edited the picture? The Item with the highest value on my server is always just something between 169 - 189. Even if i would produce 12 of it this would still get me just around 2300.

I have my IS fully upgraded and there is no item (i check each day) that gives you that amount of profit.

Growth Formula on Day 5 is Nonexistent and the popularity is Very High. By this alone, you can get 4k even without minding of Groove like my previous Shark Oil post



The key mostly is aim Nonexistent for these crafts that required rare material from granary, then you'll get easy 4-5k from them. If none of them are Nonexistent, aim for 2nd highest value like Pickled Radish that on day 4 was Nonexistent.



Good luck!

The way I understood it was that animals stop dropping loot once they are in a poor mood and crops stop growing when not watered. The guide doesn't mention them running away or dying.

Someone tried make their animal starves and they still give loot, just not double yield

For me is spawning them being a pain since some of them including alligator are not always guaranteed from what I have seen

I've even had a Yellow Coblyn not spawn, which was supposedly one of the animals believed to be exempt from that issue. The alligators are still much worse though. Thanks to showers being so rare, the next spawn is in 10 hours and after that a whopping 38. Might as well be an S rank.

RNG being RNG gave me the alligator on the first try.

Been enjoying the island as a casual thing, where I just do the bare minimum to keep progressing. Something to keep myself occupied with while waiting on people to get ready and such.

Though I wish that you could upgrade your tools to get more than one material, especially because of the awful RNG involved with the animal capturing. I've seen people do 36 attempts in a row on the same animal, only for it to disappear. That's 144 times gathering at a node, just to achieve nothing, so much time down the drain for an activity that isn't even very engaging to begin with.

Animal trapping aside, I really wish they would introduce some QoL to the island.

After you do the initial quests for the island, the duty just says "Create the perfect hideaway of your dreams", it would be really great if you could select crafts, buildings or renovations to track progress of. So I don't have to open my gathering log or go into the convoluted "manage hideout" menu, or the crafting menu just to check how many more materials I need to gather. I've started just taking a screenshot of what I need and having it on my secondary screen, purely so I don't have to keep double checking how much I need and what I needed.

It would also be great if you had a journal/log that kept track of the things you unlock per rank, because just having the unlocks appear in the chat window can be really easily missed, especially if that chat window is active with people talking. Maybe even a teaser for what the next rank will give you.

My final QoL change I would like to see, is that when you ask your mammets to take care of the crops or animals, please just let me tag all the animals or crops in one go...!
The whole process of clicking individually on each and every animal & crop is so tedious, that I can't be bothered making the mammets help me, and I'd rather just make the animals starve and the crops wither because of that.

I used 15 traps last night trying to get the crab. I was cackling because it just kept dodging the nets somehow, until I finally caught it on my last one. Annoying as hell...but also somehow hilarious.
