The Island Sanctuary is a prominent feature in Final Fantasy 14 that allows you to capture and raise several useful animals. However, you must create the desired restraints, upgrade your island level, and track the ideal weather and time conditions for different animals.

There are over 40 unique animals in FFXIV and getting them all can be challenging if you hunt without a proper plan. Also, you can only store up to 20 animals in a max-level pasture, so spending your time and resources wisely is important.
