It’s also an extremely helpful resource to check on your Island inventory, review your crafting log, go through the checklist of everything you’ve harvested on your Island, manage your buildings, and read a guide on everything you’ve done. You will want to regularly use your Islekeep’s Index to go through the activities you can do on your Sanctuary Island.

This tool will keep track of your Island Experience and Sanctuary Rank. Your Sanctuary Rank will go up as you complete visions for your Island. You can earn experience by doing nearly everything on the island, such as harvesting resources or building small projects. One of the best ways to earn experience is by completing visions to unlock more parts of your island.

Keep your Islekeep’s Index ready as you work your way through your Island Sanctuary.
