Quick Links
The Island Sanctuary has opened in Final Fantasy 14, which has players crowding the Moraby Drydocks to partake in relaxing farm life. The content has players grow crops, explore, collect resources, let their minions out, and gather animals to take care of. The animals, in particular, are quite popular. There are many kinds that can be tamed and captured around the island.
The animals of Final Fantasy 14's Island Sanctuary are not just for show, either. Taking care of them can reward the players with different resources that can be useful for crafting and building. Do not expect to be able to capture them all at first, as different kinds (in terms of size) require different traps that have recipes learned only by leveling up.
All The Small-Sized Animals
Small animals are the first kind the player can collect. The trap needed to capture them is unlocked by completing the "Adorable Animals" quest. The trap required is a Makeshift Net, which can be crafted with one Island Branch and two Island Vines.

Upgrading The Pasture
Once the player can catch animals, they start off with just five slots in their pasture. This can be upgraded as the player reaches new Sanctuary Ranks. Ten slots can become available once the player reaches Sanctuary Rank 4 and upgraded the Cozy Cabin to its second version. The player will also have to spend one thousand Seafarer Cowries to get the upgrade.
After that, the pasture can be upgraded one more time at Sanctuary Rank 7. This will give the pasture 20 slots for animals. However, the player will also need to upgrade the Cozy Cabin to its third version and spend 1,500 Seafarer Cowries.
Final Fantasy 14 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Mac, Steam, and PC.
