In Patch 6.4, a host of new features were added to FInal Fantasy XIV’s Island Sanctuary, including new ranks, new items, the ability to place down furnishings, and more! But how do you unlock all these features? We’ve detailed the steps below.
Unlocking new Island Sanctuary content in Final Fantasy XIV
Over two dozen new features were added in the new Island Sanctuary update. Some of these are automatically unlocked, and others will need to have your Island Sanctuary rank increased to access. Below, we’ve listed all the changes:
Anything that’s a new area or new gathering point will need some of the new tools, such as the Steel Hammer, which is unlocked at Sanctuary Rank 13.

FFXIV Island Sanctuary new ranks
There are four new Island Sanctuary Ranks, and below we’ve listed the unlock threshold in experience and the new features unlocked by them:
Island Sanctuary Furnishing Placement
Perhaps the biggest and most exciting new addition to theIsland Sanctuaryis the ability to place furnishing items around your Island Sanctuary. For years, there have been many players without player housing who’ve not had a way to use many of the furnishing items they’ve gathered playing. Now there’s a more accessible way than even an apartment.
You can place furnishing using the Manage Furnishings icon on the Islekeep’s Index menu. There doesn’t appear to be a prerequisite for this, but lower levels of Island Sanctuary might not have this functionality.
Finally, this system seems to function like a glamour rather than physical placement, meaning you can effectively replicate the same item over and over rather than having multiples of rare or expensive furnishing. This is overall a great addition to this unique FFXIV feature!
