How to Get Leucogranite in FFXIV's Island Sanctuary

Liven up your sanctuary with Island Leucogranite.

Final Fantasy XIV's Island Sanctuary is an opportunity for players to take a break from slaying monsters and collecting loot and instead develop a personalized vacation destination. Along the way, you'll rank up your island and customize your sanctuary by building a variety of landmarks and facilities using exotic materials found around the island. One material in particular you'll want to keep a healthy supply of is Island Leucogranite, an island material required for many high-level landmarks and facility upgrades.

The Island Sanctuary's facilities are more than just for show, too. The Island Workshop provides players with the ability to automatically craft and export goods created with island materials like Island Leucogranite in exchange Seafarer's Cowries. These cowries can then be used to purchase rewards unique to the Island Sanctuary, as well as tradable items that can be used to earn gil.

Where to get Island Leucogranite

Island Leucogranite can be obtained by enabling Gather mode and interacting with Speckled Rock nodes found throughout the island. While these nodes can be gathered from as soon as you unlock your island, players will need to reach Rank 8 and craft themselves an Islekeep's Bronze Breakaxe if they want to obtain leucogranite.

The two locations Island Leucogranite can be found are:

  • Rocky Reef: This location holds exactly 10 Speckled Rocks, making it a good location for players looking to specifically grind Island Leucogranite. Players will need to gather from at least one of the Bluish Rock or Quartz Formation nodes in this area if they want to respawn the line of Speckled Rocks here.

  • Sunrise Lookout: While this location only contains seven Speckled Rock nodes, it's combined with a good amount of Rough Black Rocks and a few Quartz Formations. Those looking to gather Island Iron Ore at the same time as their leucogranite will be able to make great use of this spot.
