Welcome to your FFXIV Marauder Hunting Log Rank 3 Guide! Your targets now begin to spread out more across the other City-States’ territories. This Rank takes you from Level 20 to 30 and from there, the path of the Warrior opens up to you. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! Here’s the Rank 3 Log you were looking for!
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.This crab is kind of like a distant relative of Thanalan's Thickshell. I was going to link the related FFXIV hunting logs, but it's all three from Thanalan, so I won't!
Location
These crabs are in the Oakwood part of Upper La Noscea. It is quicker and easier to reach this by taking the road North from Western La Noscea.If you do teleport to Camp Bronze Lake and don't have flying yet, head to the boat ferry.
Region/Area
Upper La Noscea: Oakwood
Nearest Aetheryte
Upper La Noscea: Camp Bronze Lake (Fly or take the boat to Oakwood) and Western La Noscea: Aleport
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.
The Yarzon Scavenger is described in the Hunting Log as being in the Footfalls. The problem is that's a huge area. To find this particular breed of six-legged freaks, head North past Vesper Bay. Continue North until you come to the murky area and the Yarzons are right there as you emerge from the tunnel.If Laughing Toads are on one of your hunting logs at rank 3, then these are in the same area, just further in.
The Redbelly Wasps (for those of us who've seen wasps with red undersides...) are one of the criminal gangs operating in the South Shroud. One of their ranks is the Redbelly Larcener, because what kind of criminals don't enjoy a bit of casual thievery? Well, your job is to make them enjoy it less. Terminally.
Redbelly Larcener Location
The main location is near the oh-so-secretive Redbelly Hive!This is often the place for the FATE Breaching the Hive. But I found three Larceners outside the Hive (and not involved in the FATE). So you may not need to go deeper in anyway.If you're desperate, there is one grumpy-looking thief among the others at X:15.4, Y:23.0 (still in the South Shroud). That's at No Man's Hovel, where the FATE Conspiracy Theory takes place.
Welcome to my favourite enemy name to hate... the Shroud Hare. I am completely guessing, but I think this giant slug was called that due to its feelers appearing like bunny ears. Not that your average Marauder would much care about naming conventions!
Where are Shroud Hares?
There are actually two main areas you can look in the North Shroud. Coordinates below relate to the northern/western-most area marked on the maplet. Alternatively:
The southern area starts at X:20.5, Y:29.5.
I hadn't remembered that you can encounter some in the Central Shroud around X:15, Y:24.
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. You'd better put those combat skills to use with some interrupts! These can be found South of Little Ala Mhigo towards "Burnt Lizard Creek". Lovely.
Balloons are self-powering, self-detonating balls of flaming fury. It's probably not advisable for you to hand these out at a child's birthday party. At least, its cousin the Bomb has an accurate description!
Balloon Location
You can find these floating around in ones or twos West of Fallgourd Float. They mingle with the Banemites, which is great if you need the materials to make Velveteen. Not so great otherwise.
I cannot decide if these are cute or creepy. The Phurble is a fur-ball with almost human/hyur-looking eyes and they bounce around the fluff themselves up. They are also involved in a questline with a deluded bald man trying to get his hair back.Sadly these are a bit of a trek to get to, as Camp Drybone is your closest Aethyrite. Phurbles can be found as you head towards Burgundy Falls and the Burning Wall.
Until I went in search of a Sandskin Peiste or five, I had not realised quite how large an area they lived in. These tall, scaley lizards can be found North-West, North and North East of Little Ala Mhigo. The bonus is, if someone else is also attacking them for their own hunting log, you can just calmly go someplace else. You're not the only adventurer after all.
The Axe Beak is one of a wide selection of Ziz-like creatures. They go by other names like Giant Pelican too. They all have the axe-shaped bill, but this one claims it for its name!
Axe Beak Location
They are in the really annoying, far-flung section of Eastern Thanalan. If you've dealt with any quests or targets in the South Shroud, it may be quicker to ride or fly there (from Camp Tranquil) than to teleport to Camp Drybone and still have a long ride.
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"! Not that you're likely to see it while swinging your axe around, dear Marauder!
One giant, freaky eyeball...with wings, a mouth and tongue. Nothing unusual then!
Floating Eye Location
These are found in the Sorrel Haven, Central Shroud. More precisely, the Floating Eyes are...floating, well "flying" around the grounds of Haukke Manor. There's nearly always one just outside the gate but there are plenty beyond it.
TL;DR Venture Beyond La Noscea in the FFXIV Marauder Hunting Log Rank 3
As your MSQ takes you beyond the boundaries of La Noscea, so too does your Hunting Log reflect the broader range of enemies. As you reach Level 30, you’ll have the option of becoming a Warrior too. If Marauder is your first class, then as a Warrior you have the same log to complete.
Rank 4 is coming hot on the heels of this Rank 3 guide, but ember I have other FFXIV Hunting Log Guides too. Feel free to use them to help you complete those I have covered. Have fun in Final Fantasy XIV, friends.
I have been playing MMOs for about ten years and began writing guides to The Lord of the Rings Online in 2017. I've only been creating content about Final Fantasy XIV since 2022, but I am glad for the mix. My current games include LOTRO, FFXIV and the occasional Palia session too.
