What are Seafarer's Cowries in FFXIV?
Seafarer's Cowries are an exclusive currency for the Island Sanctuary. They have two uses: to pay for improvements and upgrades to your Island Sanctuary, and to buy exclusive gear and items from the Horrendous Hoarder such as mounts and minions. It’s important to not spend all your Cowries on minions and mounts though, as it will leave you without a way to improve your Island Sanctuary Hideaway.
