When Can I Start Rank 3?
You’ll have this part of your Conjurer Hunting Log unlocked once you meet the following requirements:
- You have cleared all of Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 2.
- You are at least Level 20.
The level requirement is not difficult to hit at all. Follow the MSQ, do some side-quests and clear your Hunting Logs and you’ll be well over 20.
Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 3 Targets
Reward:
20,000You have a really wide variety of enemies to take down for Rank 3. I would say “enjoy”, but killing things is only a necessity for a White Mage – which you may well be while clearing some of this log.
Many of these also overlap with other classes/jobs and, while you can find the individual targets using the search box, the actual hunting logs will follow later. I’m still adding enemies to the database. Anyhow, here you go!
Reward:
6,300Stoneshell
Number Required: 4
I bet you can’t work out what these creatures’ primary defence is, can you?! Thankfully, even if someone else is clearing their Hunting Log Rank 3 at the same time as you, there are loads of Stoneshells for you here.

Reward:
6,500Diseased Treant
Number Required: 3
I don’t know if there’s a FFXIV quest that explains why there are Diseased Treants in the Bramble Patch, but I do kind of want to know! The coordinates below are vague because, so long as you stick within the main part of the Patch, you’ll be able to find enough Treants by using your eyes! They are huge.

Laughing Toad
Number Required: 2
The Laughing Toad has never been known to laugh, or crack funny jokes. As with all gigantoads, they do have some of the weirdest facial expressions for an animal! If Yarzon Scavengers are on your list then Laughing Toads are in the same area.
Head further North towards the label “Parata’s Peace”. You’ll find two sizes of toad back there. The ones you want are the smaller of the two types. They come equipped with the usual Sticky Tongue and AoE knockback abilities. And if you’re within aggro level range then expect to be knocked around a bit by nearby toads too.

Lead Coblyn
Number Required: 4
These rock-munching critters can be found in the tunnel between Vesper Bay and Cape Westwind further North. The Lead Coblyn is just another variety of the many found in Eorzea and other regions.
Lead Coblyn Location
Remember the Bloated Bogy from Gladiator Rank 2 (and Pugilist and Thaumaturge)? It’s the same tunnel – just a bit deeper in.

Reward:
6,700Bark Eft
Number Required: 3
The Bark Eft is one of various species of Eft across Eorzea and, as they do, you can find them in or near water. These murky green ones can be found in the tiny river that lies on the boundary of the Upper and Lower Paths in the South Shroud. The coordinates given are approximate, because you can find them anywhere along that river.
Thankfully, you don’t need many – so only defeat what you need so they’re around for the next person clearing their Hunting Log entry.

Reward:
6,900Glowfly
Number Required: 2
The Glowfly is what we call in our world, a Firefly, which is a different Hunting Log Target! They are tiny, hovering insects that emit a yellowy-green aura, making them easy to spot at night or in dark weather. There are also plenty to be found in the Bramble Patch and if Jumping Djigga is also on your list they are in the same area.

Reward:
7,100Antelope Stag
Number Required: 3
In one sense, it’s a real shame to have to hunt a creature like the Antelope Stag. It’s elegant and gentle to look at – a really beautiful FFXIV creature. But on the other hand, people need to safely traverse the Black Shroud, their horns make good crafting materials and maybe their meat is delicious? Elegant, gentle and tasty? Sorry if you’re a vegetarian. I am…not!
Anyway, you can find these slightly zebra-striped Antelopes North-East of Quarrymill.

Reward:
7,600Sabotender
Number Required: 3
These walking Cacti roam around Little Ala Mhigo in Southern Thanalan. Do look for the little hunting log symbol over their “heads” though. This is because not all Sabotenders bear the name without some other word attached!
Have fun having loads of needles flung in your direction. See it as a test of your evasion skills! Sabotenders can be found South of Little Ala Mhigo towards “Burnt Lizard Creek”. There’s a delightful thought for you.

Reward:
8,600Qiqirn Roerunner
Number Required: 3
Wherever the Qirqirn go, trouble seems to ensue. There’s no wonder the poor innocent trading Qiqirn in Limsa is terrified! They may look cute, but there is a time when you have to put a stop to things, even as a Conjurer. Take down no more than three to make sure the others get the message. For now, at least!

Goblin Thug Location
While they may be experienced in thuggery, these Goblin Thugs do give themselves away when it comes to their location. Goblinsmeet. It’s even labelled on the map East of Quarrymill!
/facepalm.

Reward:
9,700Toadstool
Number Required: 3
Whoopee. another semi-sentient mushroom-like enemy. Like the Faerie Funguar and the Funguar, the purple-capped Toadstool likes to pretend.
If you look carefully, sometimes you can see it opening one eye while it’s in “toadstool stance”! But as with its relatives, this variant is also fond of randomly ambling around.

Reward:
10,000Apkallu
Number Required: 3
Apkallu are cute birds provide eggs and down for crafting and spit fish at you to interrupt your casting. Oh, that rhymed. And these birds apply to non-casters…soooo, never mind!
I’m not sure why you need to kill some of them – maybe like seagulls in our own cities they’ve become pests. Or it’s the fish-spitting.
Apkallu Location
You can find them on – and near – the road from Eastern to Lower La Noscea. However, there is also a convenient rock that a few always gather on. That makes it easy to clear this stage of your Hunting Log Rank 3. The rock’s coordinates are below.

DPS Hints from a Newbie Healer
Yeah, so I have levelled Conjurer three times to only Level 50, but I’ve never healed a human player. The most challenging thing I’ve done is to heal a Squadron Dungeon. However, on landscape, especially at this kind of level, DPS-ing as a Conjurer (or White Mage) can feel slow. Here are the tips from a newbie healer to you as you clear the Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 3.
- Gear Up: Does your gear roughly match your level? If not, fix that. Especially the weapon. For 2-handed staves, Carpenters can craft them. 1-handed wands are the job of Alchemists, apparently!
- Use Foods to increase your Mind stat.
- Don’t Forget Your DoT: At this level, you only have the one damage-over-time, Aero and apply it to all mobs you’re attacking. Sadly you don’t get any AoE attacks until Level 45.
- If you are Level 30: If you’ve cleared
My Feisty Little Chocobo, Set your Chocobo to Tank or DPS stance. Once they’ve leveled enough to unlock them, anyway. You need at least the first trait selected in each line to unlock it. But this means some of the aggro is taken from you and/or more damage is being dealt.
Total EXP Available
- Total EXP for All Levels: 78,800
- EXP Clearing Rank 3: 20,000
- TOTAL: 98,800
Note, this excludes any EXP gained for defeating the individual enemies.
When Can I Start Hunting Log Rank 4?
Once:
- You have cleared Rank 3, and
- You reach at least Level 30 as a Conjurer, or are a White Mage of at least Level 30.
TL;DR Pretend to be a DPS and Clear Conjurer Hunting Log Rank 3!
Hopefully you will have found rank 3 much more interesting than rank 2. But as with the other logs, there is a shedton of EXP available for clearing it. And, hopefully with the few tips I can give, you’ll enjoy working through your hunting log as you also quest on in Final Fantasy XXIV. May You Walk in the Light of the Crystal, Adventurer.
