If you are working on improving your Island Sanctuary in Final Fantasy XIV, you'll want to keep a good supply of a wide variety of materials. This content is relaxing and can provide you with a steady stream of gil, giving you the best of both worlds.
Island Vines are used to build and upgrade several facilities and landmarks, as well as a few tools and a wide variety of handicrafts, so they are an important material to have in your gathering rotation.
Where to find Island Vines in FFXIV's Island Sanctuary
When you're ready to venture out and gather materials on your Island Sanctuary, you must first enable "Gathering" mode while on your island. Doing so allows you to click any node and get rewarded with the materials it drops.
You collect Island Vines from two nodes, the Sugarcane and the Apple Tree. You don't need a specialized tool for either option since the Island Vine is one of the first materials you'll be able to gather on your Island Sanctuary.
Below are some excellent places to gather if you need Island Vines:
- Eastward Stream: You'll find many Apple Tree and Sugarcane nodes on either side of the river in this area (X: 20.0, Y: 25.5). Since you can hit both to get Island Vine, this is a straightforward route. There are five Sugarcane and ten Apple Tree nodes in this area, so you can make a nice loop without having to hit any different nodes to force them to respawn.
- Gentle Slope: In the river near Gentle Slope (X: 16.0, Y: 17.0), you'll find a small grove of Sugarcane nodes. Two patches on each side of the river make a perfect loop if you're looking to gather up some Island Vine quickly. These nodes are all close together, so this is a quick and efficient location to farm.
