Where To Find Cotton

Need Island Cotton for your FFXIV Endwalker Island Sanctuary crafting? Learn exactly where to find Cotton Plants and the tools you'll need to gather them.

Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on some Island Cotton in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, huh? It's a key ingredient for crafting in your Island Sanctuary, but you can't just pick it up anywhere. First things first, you'll need to have progressed through your Sanctuary Ranks a bit – specifically, you need to reach Rank 6. Once you're there, the main tool you'll need is the Islekeep’s Copper Scythe. To craft that, you'll need a few other bits and bobs: 3 Island Logs, 3 Island Clay, and 4 Island Copper Ore.

Let's break down where to find those crafting materials:

• Island Logs: You can gather these by chopping down Tualong and Mahogany Trees. Just look around the area between the Pristine Pond and the Eastward Stream.
• Island Copper Ore: This comes from mining Bluish Rocks. You'll find these scattered between the Gentle Slope and Pirate Bay. The coordinates to aim for are [X:17.0, Y:14.6]. Quick heads-up: you'll need the Islekeeps Stone Hammer crafted before you can mine these.
• Island Clay: To get your mitts on this, you'll be mining Mounds of Dirt. These are dotted all along the Eastward Stream. Head towards [X:22.1, Y:25.7] to find them. Just like with the ore, make sure you've got the Islekeep’s Shovel crafted first.

Once you've got all those materials and crafted your Islekeep’s Copper Scythe, you're finally ready to hunt for the Cotton itself! Head out into The Wilds, and you'll be looking for Cotton Plants. They only pop up in one specific spot: south of the Eastward Stream. Make your way to approximately [X: 27:4, Y: 29.0].

If you're planning on farming a good chunk of Cotton, here's a pro-tip: gather all the nodes you can find, then wander off to mine something else for a bit. The Cotton Plants will eventually respawn, letting you gather them again. Happy farming!
