The fauna and flora of Island Sanctuary, in Final Fantasy XIV, are diverse. You can find gigantic animals and rare ore in hidden caves. At the same time, you won’t find only special creatures and materials around the place. To make the island familiar and closer to a farm simulator, FFXIV’s Island Sanctuary comes with lots of the regular materials one would expect from leaves and logs to regular stones.
Farming Island Stones or other types of common materials is not necessarily difficult because they are so abundant on the island that you inevitably stumble upon one node or another. To efficiently collect them is a different story! Once you’ve unlocked the Island Sanctuary and started to rank it up, more activities become available and managing your time is fundamental to keeping the place running.
How to get Island Stone in FFXIV’s Island Sanctuary
Although you can find Island Stone nodes around the whole island, here’s a list of the best places to farm them.
- Pristine Pond: Close to the entrance of The Wilds, north (X: 18.4 Y: 22.7) of and west (X: 17.3 Y: 24.3) of Pristine Pond, there are some Island Stone nodes. This area is the best farming spot if you just unlocked the place. You don’t need to walk too much and the nodes are considerably close. The downside is that there aren’t enough Island Stone nodes to make a complete rotation and respawn the ones you’ve already collected. Because of that, you need to also get from nearby trees or plants to complement the route.
- Peak Point: If you go all the way to the east side of the map, in Peak Point at X: 30.3 Y: 28.2, you will find another good farming spot. This route is great in the early ranks when you need to farm lots of Island Copper Ore as well. Collect other materials in the area, like Island Cotton Bolls and Island Palm Logs to complement the route and have a full rotation of nodes.
- North of Gentle Slope: At X: 15.7 Y: 15.2, on the northwest side of the map, you can find a bunch of Island Stone nodes. This route might not sound like a good option for new players who need to walk all the way to it. However, this is actually a great place to farm Island Stone because you end up collecting Island Limestone and Island Copper Ore as well.
- Sunrise Lookout: After you have increased the rank of your island and can fly around riding mounts, the path in Sunrise Lookout is the best place for you to farm Island Stones. In the path that begins at X: 23.2 Y: 20.2 you find nodes of different ores from which you can also get Island Stones. This is the perfect place to collect better materials and yet keep your stock of stones filled.
