Island Sanctuary Expansions and rewards shouldn't use the same currency

[Kitfox]

It's incredibly unfun that Island Sactuary expansions use the same Seafarer's Cowries (blue) as the content rewards. I wanted to work towards the hairstyles but I'm constantly cockblocked by having to spend the same currency to expand the facilities instead.

Also the Islander's Cowries (green) are useless.

The island is out for how long...not even a week. If you set your workshops up right you can get both hairstyles easily next week in like 4 or 5 days...is that really asked too much? They even work while you are away lol, you just need to set them up and let them do their thing for 5 days.

They only work 5 days a week and um x to doubt. You could get one in a week.

I make 2k a day + 2k from the challenge log + 500 each day from granary and plants and your animals. There are two haircuts, these need 12k together cause each is 6k.

5 days x 2k cowries = 10k cowries + 2k cowries from challenge log + 3,5k cowries (optional) from your animals/plants/granary = 15,5k cowries

And that is the bare minimum without delving too deep into the stonks, you can make WAY MORE cowries from your workshops especially in the second week when your workshops are leveled up and you build already some of the landmarks.

Even if this were true, it doesn't change Kit's initial point—especially when you consider Islander's Cowries are entirely worthless. And before someone mentions materia. This is easily the least effective way to grind them. I gathered the new legendary nodes for less than an hour and am swimming in IXs and Xs. Meanwhile, spamming white scrip turn-ins is widely superior. So we essentially have one currencies doing everything and the other doing nothing. Moving rewards over to Islander's Cowries would fix this.

It’s fine the way it is. I don’t really care for the rewards I just want content to be fun.

But Island Sancutary is not fun

I don't think the expansions should cost green instead. I think the grainery and caretakers should cost green(island corwies) instead of the blue(seafare) as the green basically aren't worth getting.

I just wanna touch on that. It takes about 35 minutes to get one grade 10(x) so ya, materia cost is high, but they should add other ways to spend island tokens instead of reducing cost. It's like 585 gathers if you gather two items each time.

I agree, I don't know why they even bother with island coweries, there is nothing bought with them you can't get elsewhere. you should have been able to buy building upgrades with them or something.

Having expansions be linked to green cowries would also force people to dip into their ever-growing stockpiles of materials, which would then encourage/force people to spend more time gathering if they want to be able to keep up with the workshop orders. As it is now, they're pretty useless. :/
