Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 2 Targets
Reward: 10,000Dear Conjurer – I hope you find the East Shroud to your liking, because you will be spending a lot of time there! Many of your targets are in the Nine Ivies or around the Hawthorn Hut. On the plus side, it should help you be more efficient. Here are your targets:
Reward: 2,300
Tree Slug
Number Required: 3Region/Area
East Shroud: South of the Honey YardNearest Aetheryte
East Shroud: the Hawthorn HutReward: 3,200
Arbor Buzzard (Black Shroud)
Number Required: 3A relative of the Northern Vulture and just as annoying, the Arbor Buzzard hovers around other Hunting Log targets. As is the family trait, they're very aggressive. Unless you're comfortable with enemies all around you, be careful with any AoE attacks you may have around here.
It's Easy to Spot Arbor Buzzards!
Assuming another player did not just clear this log entry, or a related quest, a moment before you arrived the best place to find them is Lilystone:

Number Required: 2Since someone suggested it to me to help my daughter adjust to games, you're not killing them, just sending them off to sleep for a while. Like a proverbial "naughty corner", before they return to their hunting ways!

Firefly
Number Required: 3These amazing Firefly bugs with luminescent green auras have decided that the best place they could live is among the tombs. Go figure.
FFXIV Firefly Location (Central Shroud)
Fireflies in the Black Shroud can be found underground, along with some Magicked Bones at the Tam-Tara Deepcroft - beyond which is the entrance to that dungeon. If you're vaguely on-level, you'll have to pick off each Firefly individually while warding off skeletons. Yay.The only good thing about that is at least you can easily see them, whether it's daytime or nighttime in-game.Lucky you, I guess!Region/Area

Faerie Funguar
Number Required: 3I'm Just a Toadstool, Honest!
Half of the time, Funguars pretend they're just everyday, ordinary toadstools. You know better. Hopefully.Finding Faerie Funguar
There's no named location on the map, but if you head South-East they can be found where 'Nine Ivies' is written and a bit further South.Region/Area

Giant Gnat
Number Required: 3The first time I came across the Giant Gnats they genuinely freaked me out. Even now I can't actually look at it when I have to fight one! These 'gnats' are related to the Ked and given they're about the same height as my Miqo'te (possibly taller), the word 'giant' is really an understatement.
They're found just east of the Aethyrite with one or two being around that entrance to the Bramble Patch.
If ever there was a pest worthy of being culled in the Twelveswood it's this one. I'd say "knock yourself out", but it's them who need hitting. Hard.

Wolf Poacher
Number Required: 3This Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 2 Enemy is a Miqo'te called the Wolf Poacher. We've already dealt with a Goblin Hunter or three so now it's onto a different tribe.
Though, to be honest, I would see the poaching of wolves as being a positive thing for the Shroud? All wolves are hyper-aggressive. I'm not sure I buy into "kill the sentient Miqo'te to preserve the presence of wolves" thing! Let's just call it "aggressive negotiations" (different canon, but then there are Star Wars references in FFXIV, so, what the heck!).
Spotting the Right Poacher
As this litter of Miqo'te look mostly identical, the easiest way to find your targets is to look for the shields. I tried putting the nameplates on, but that just adds to the clutter! (Click/tap the picture to open it full-size).Region/Area

Black Bat
Number Required: 3The Bramble Patch in the East Shroud is home to a number of different enemies, one of which is the Black Bat. They would not be so freaky if they did not have the glowing eyes! But they do.
There are loads of Black Bats for you here, too, so you don't have to compete with other players for them. By that I mean, don't fight other players for a dead bat or two, okay?
Nature Defends Itself?
Anyway, you may find some "odd" behaviour by the enemies in the area, because sometimes a boar will rush to defend a bat, or a bat attacks you if you strike a Diseased Treant. It's nothing you can't handle, adventurer, but it's always good to be forewarned about these things.

TL;DR Flex Your Brain Muscle for your Conjurer Hunting Log 2
Given the primary role of a Conjurer and White Mage is healing, you have to do a disturbing amount of killing and/or beating. Bu if it preserves balance, then it’s justified? Anyhow, I hope this Hunting Log Rank 2 guide helped you out. have fun in Eorzea, adventurer!
