Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Unlock the Island Sanctuary: Ensure you have purchased all expansions up to Endwalker and completed the Main Scenario Quests. Travel to Old Sharlayan and speak with the Clueless Crier at (X:11.9, Y:11.0) to accept the side quest 'Seeking Sanctuary'.
  2. 2
    Complete Tutorial Quests: Upon arriving at your island, speak with the Felicitous Furball and complete the following Visions: 'The Coziest of Cabins', 'Top Crops', 'Adorable Animals', and 'A Workshop of Wonders'. This will teach you gathering and crafting basics.
  3. 3
    Unlock Free Roam: After the tutorial Visions, the 'The Perfect Paradise' Vision will unlock, granting you full freedom on your island.
  4. 4
    Place Minions: Access the 'Manage Minions' option from the Islekeep's Index. You can place up to 40 minions within the four available areas: Islet Inlet, Hideaway Central, Cropland Section I, and Pasture Section I.
  5. 5
    Switch Minions: To change your island's minions, use the 'recall' option found at the bottom left of the Minions management window.
Tips
  • Minions placed on your Island Sanctuary do not provide any gameplay benefits; they are purely for aesthetic purposes and to make your island feel more alive.
  • You can place a maximum of 40 minions across the four designated areas.
