If you’re not interested to try out the main quests, you can still rank up through activities in the Island Sanctuary itself. Completing various objectives in the island will earn you a good amount of XPs.

Constructing buildings and Workshops also help in ranking up. Farming crops and taming animals go a long way too!

The game also rewards points if you take your time and gather items throughout the map.

It’s worth mentioning, nevertheless, that the process of gaining Experience Points by carrying out activities only in the island can be quite time consuming and you’ll need to have some patience while doing so. Trust me, it’s all worth it!

After all the grinding, once you’ve reached Sanctuary Rank 5, the option to build granaries will automatically be unlocked for you.

You can construct a granary in the open areas that you own or you can destroy an ongoing construction to create space for the granary.

Once you’ve constructed your granary, you can send your workers, called Mammets in the game, to carry out all the farming tasks for a small fee.

These workers can get you large amounts of Island Copper Ore, Rock Salt and other items that need to be farmed. This will help you focus on other aspects of the island.

You should try to construct multiple granaries to gather and craft your items at a faster rate.

So, get on with it and send your workers to farm the Copper Ore for you! It’s now time for you to put your feet up, pet your animals and let the materials come to you!

The Workshop in Island Sanctuary is what will help you manage all your activities, which includes the products you craft and the buildings you construct.

On the other hands, the Granaries helps you collect materials that need to be farmed faster. Mammets do the hard work to get you the farmed materials and rare items.

The Workshop and Granaries aren’t competitors to each other. Both are required for you to rank up and enjoy life in the Island Sanctuary.

Wrapping Up

Unlocking the Island Sanctuary Granary doesn’t require as much hard work as it requires patience.

Granaries raise the standards of living in the island, as you can now focus on making profitable products and constructing buildings, without having to spend time farming Copper Ore!

Apart from the Island Sanctuary, Square Enix has also introduced some very impressive elements in the new patch update of 6.2.

From the little things like the Umbrella Dance Emote to the epic boss fights in the Fell Court of Troia, it has received huge appreciation from the FFXIV gaming community.
