Island Sanctuary is a big letdown

[VictorSpoils]

It won't because it doesn't store furnishings. It only uses furnishing glamours while the actual item remains in inventory.

But you don't even need the furnishing anymore if you're never going to get a house. That kettle that was sitting in my saddlebag for almost 2 years can finally breathe.

Island sanctuary has been a complete waste of dev time. It makes Stardew Valley look like it was made by a AAA dev studio rather than a dude from his bedroom.

The only thing that motivates me to do it is the rewards from it. Other than that, it is the most unsatisfying thing I have ever done in a game alongside finishing AC black flag with its abysmal ending.

The dev time would have been better spent in completely reworking the housing districts so that everyone could have any house size they wanted in a location with a decent view. Adding much needed and complete furniture sets in, and giving complete freedom of placement for furniture items...

Instead we get trash that a few people claim they enjoy despite touching the island so little.

Still, for those of us with FC rooms and apartments, it provides a place to look at those nice furnishing items our Retainers bring back.

Can anyone confirm or deny that once a glamour has been set on the island it goes away if the furnishing is destroyed? I haven't bothered with that at this point.

Oh I definitely agree. I'm just pointing out that it's not actual storage.

If someone were to discard/vendor/desynthesize a furnishing after registering it to their island then later got a house, they would no longer have that furnishing to use at their house. They would have to get it again.

As for would the glamour disappear once it has been set on the island if the original was destroyed, I doubt it. I've moved the furnishings I've used back into my house Storeroom or onto retainers since but the glamours are still there. I also know players that have allowed friends to borrow outdoor furnishings to use for island glamour then gotten the furnishing back without the friends' islands being affected.
