The Islekeep's Iron Hatchet is a new Tool in the Island Sanctuary for Final Fantasy XIV that Farmers of Light can use to harvest new resources from trees, such as Island Resin, Island Coconuts, or Island Beehive Chips. This Hatchet serves as an upgrade from the Stone and Bronze Tools that players used previously before Patch 6.3. With the new materials obtainable with the Iron Hatchet, players can continue to develop their island paradise and craft new recipes for their Home Sweet Hideaway. However, a prerequisite must be met before players receive the Hatchet's crafting recipe from Felicitous Furball.

To unlock the Islekeep's Iron Hatchet in the Island Sanctuary of Final Fantasy XIV, players must reach Rank 10 and have crafted all the previous Tools before this upgrade. Leveling one's island takes time, so newcomers to Island Sanctuary should not expect to unlock their Iron Hatchet for several days or weeks.

Completing daily and weekly tasks, crafting items for objectives, and managing one's livestock will ensure players gradually reach their goal of Rank 10. Players should always remember to expand and upgrade their homestead before moving on to cosmetic purchases.

Recipe for Crafting the Islekeep's Iron Hatchet in FFXIV

Once Final Fantasy XIV fans have reached Level 10, they can receive the Islekeep's Iron Hatchet recipe from Felicitous Furball at the coordinates (X:12.6, Y: 28.4) on the Island Sanctuary. According to YouTuber Fun Fan Gamers, players need Island Log × 3, Island Iron Ore × 2, and Island Quartz × 3 to craft the Hatchet. By the time players achieve Level 10 on their FFXIV island, they will likely have all three of these resources readily available in their stockpiles. However, it is possible that some might be missing one or two of the materials.

In that case, Final Fantasy XIV players at Gamepur have stated that Island Logs can be harvested from trees at (X: 20, Y: 23), Island Iron Ore is mined from mineral nodes at (X: 26, Y: 20), and Island Quartz comes from nodes at (X: 22, Y: 16). Players are encouraged to have unlocked flying on Island Sanctuary, as finding each of these locations by foot can be somewhat time-consuming. Once players have made the Iron Hatchet, they can harvest the following resources based on Gamepur's findings:

    Summary:
    Final Fantasy 14 (Final Fantasy XIV) is the fourteenth entry in the Final Fantasy franchise. It is an MMORPG that initially launched in 2010 before it was completely rebuilt from the ground up for a 2013 release as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. After the events of the 2010 iteration's conclusion, where the primal dragon Bahamut brings calamity to the land of Eorza, the player survives and is sent into the future by five years in a world that has begun to rebuild, but now thrust into the middle of a war from the Garlean Empire. As a consistently expanding world with an ever-scaling storyline, Final Fantasy XIV's narrative grows with each expansion, with the core experience still surrounding working with other players and NPCs as they level and customize their characters, engage in real-time events, and coordinate teams to enter massive dungeons to face raid bosses. The game is available to play with people of several nations and has a massive translatable vocabulary for players to be able to work with one another despite language barriers. The most recent expansion pack, Endwalker, was released in December of 2021 and follows the trend of each title releasing roughly every two years. Final Fantasy XIV is available as a free-to-play title up to level 60, where the game then transitions to a subscription model. The game is playable on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, as the PlayStation 3 version was shuttered in 2017.
