Your Pugilist Hunting Log Rank 5 finally brings us to the end of an epic punch-and-kick fest. Thankfully, you have the Monk storyline and new skills to learn to break up your hunt. But we’ve made it this far, so let’s continue on and clear the whole log, shall we?
When Can I Start Pugilist Rank 5?
When:
- You’ve cleared FFXIV Pugilist Hunting Log Rank 4 and
- You are at least Level 40 as a Pugilist or Monk.
Pugilist Hunting Log Rank 5 Targets
Reward: 
40,000
Reward:
17,000Quartz Doblyn
Number Required: 6
Where to Find Quartz Doblyns
Naming conventions aside, head to the Burning Wall in Eastern Thanalan. If you don’t have flight in Eorzea yet, be prepared for a long ride.
Involved in FATE
There are four FATEs involving this type of Doblyn, but only one takes place in Eastern Thanalan:
Region/Area
Eastern Thanalan: Burning Wall
Nearest Aetheryte
Eastern Thanalan: Camp Drybone (not exactly near!)
Reward:
17,500Dead Man’s Moan
Number Required: 6
The animated skeletons of drowned seamen. Nothing freaky about that, right? And by “drowned”, I mean literally, rather than just consumed by a love for Leviathan.
Dead Man’s Moan Location
On the Isles of Umbra, head towards the beach, or just into the water at the Ship Graveyard. But you only need do this if the FATE mentioned below is not on.
Involved in FATE
- Dead Man’s Rest (X: 16.6, Y: 31.6)
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Isle of Umbra
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Reward:
18,0003rd Cohort Signifer
Number Required: 2
As with all of the Garlean Empire’s Signifers, the 3rd Cohort Signifer is a Thaumaturge. While your previous encounters with the Empire in the East Shroud were closer to Little Solace, these ones are far in the East.
Assuming no-one arrived just before you, you can find three in the area around X32.5, Y:20.5. Respawn timers appear to have improved since my last visit – or I am more patient! So, if you can’t see any, just hang around a bit and they’ll be redeployed ready to be re-defeated!
Involved in MSQ
If you are on your first class’ Hunting Log, 3rd Cohort Signifers are encountered during the MSQ Quest 
Sylphish Concerns.
Region/Area
East Shroud: Larkscall
Nearest Aetheryte
East Shroud: The Hawthorn Hut
Reward:
18,500Wild Hog
Number Required: 6
Because there are obviously so many tame boars around the Shroud, you have to find a Wild Hog. Well, a few of them! The ones you’re after are significantly larger than Wild Hoglets and – thankfully – separate to them.
These ones are found in Urth’s Gift, which you can reach easily from Quarrymill – and there are many in this area. Admittedly, there are many other enemies too, so if you’re vaguely on-level, be warned!
Region/Area
South Shroud: Urth’s Gift
Nearest Aetheryte
South Shroud: Quarrymill
Reward:
19,000Biast
Number Required: 3
“Why, if it isn’t a Biast claw! How apropos!”
Templeton
When I had to go get the location map and screenshot of this large Sundrake-cousin, I didn’t even have to look it up. Having run the Ixali Tribal Quests so many times and fetching Templeton yet another ruddy Biast claw, I went straight to them!
Where are the Biasts?
You’ll find them West of the Observatory in Coerthas, which actually makes Fallgourd Float the nearest Aetheryte. I’ve marked six already, but there are more if you go further West. So, don’t fight other players for them.
Region/Area
Coerthas Central Highlands: Boulder Downs
Nearest Aetheryte
North Shroud: Fallgourd Float
Gigas Shramana
Number Required: 3
The Gigas Shramana are the axe-wielders of whatever type of giants these are. Along with their fellows, they roam the eastern region of Mor Dhona.
And does this race really manage to grow their eyebrows that long? And how has it taken me years to notice this?!
Where are the Gigas Shramana?
Outside of FATEs, I could only find four, which is more than you need, but they are spread far apart. See the Minimap’s dots for approximate locations. I’ve not put in approximate coordinates for this FFXIV Hunting Log target – just venture into Northern Silvertear.
Involved in FATEs
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Northern Silvertear
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenant’s Toll
Raging Harrier
Number Required: 3
Along with the Daring Harrier and their “Hexing” counterpart (who is not a Hunting Log target), you can find the Raging Harrier high up in Mor Dhona in an area called Rathefrost.
Where is the Raging Harrier?
While I just said “Rathefrost”, if you don’t have flight yet, you’ll have to find the passage to it. Head through the Tangle, home of the Mor Dhona brand of Morbol. You’ll eventually come to an icy-looking tunnel and that’s where you need to go.
This enemy carries a lance and tries to look menacing. Or in one case, is just chatting with their fellows in a not-so-menacing fashion.
There are only three, so if another player has been through here very recently, you’ll have to wait for them to respawn.
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fogfens (Rathfrost)
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Reward:
19,500Snow Wolf
Number Required: 6
This is no Pup, but a full-on Snow Wolf. Yes, they’re only slightly larger, but who are we to judge when the wolves stop calling their offspring “pups”?
Snow Wolves can be found due West of the Observatorium, pretty close to the entry to Coerthas from the North Shroud. So, take your pick of Aethryte, really.
Pugilist Note: Although there are only five dots on the mini-map, one dot may have more than one Snow Wolf on it.
Region/Area
Coerthas Central Highland: The Boulder Downs
Nearest Aetheryte
Coerthas Central Highland: Camp Dragonhead (Or North Shroud: Fallgourd Float)
Reward:
20,0005th Cohort Hoplomachus
Number Required: 6
What’s the 5th Cohort Hoplomachus location?
“…here’s a hint─it rhymes with Castrum Centri.”
Jessie
This snarky comment has always stuck with me from Garlond Ironworks’ very own Jessie. So you can thank her as to where they can be found.
In FATEs?
No, as with the 5th Cohort Secutor, the 5th Cohort Hoplomachus does not appear in any FATEs. However, FATEs do occur near Castrum Centri, so expect these Imperial shield-bearers to join in if you get close enough!
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fog Fens (Castrum Centri)
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Reward:
20,500Dreamtoad
Number Required: 6
As I’ve progressively added more enemies to my Hunting Logs, there are fewer that only apply to one class. The Dreamtoad, however, is required by Pugilists only. Well, they’re required by Sylphs too in the making of “dream-slime”, which is essentially a natural drug they get high on. Did I say that out loud?
Dreamtoad Location
This type of Gigantoad is found within the Sylphlands part of the East Shroud, in the area North/North-East of the tag on the map. I only counted five though, so you may need to wait for respawn if the FATE is not on.
Involved in FATE
Handful of Dreams (around X24, Y11)
Region/Area
East Shroud: Sylphlands
Nearest Aetheryte
East Shroud: The Hawthorn Hut
Reward:
21,000Hapalit
Number Required: 6
Hapalits are of a similar breed to the Redhorn Ogres. Only these have huge, fiery horns – and toes!
Where to Find Them
They are marked as “Northern Silvertear” in your Hunting Log, but that’s not massively helpful! You can find them in the North East, where they’re slightly underground in the lightning-charged, orange and crystalline area.
I’ve marked a circle where there are a few gathered, as well as dots for some precise Hapalit locations.
Involved in FATE
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Northern Silvertear
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Reward:
21,500Basilisk
Number Required: 3
Basilisks are serpent-like lizards with extra spikes on their backs and can walk. They’re actually rather lovely to look at. But you can obtain their eggs by mining nearby (or by “the other way”), so don’t expect them not to be territorial.
Coordinates
They can be found over quite a large area in Bluefog. Just stay South of the Cereuleum Processing Plant and you’ll be fine.
- X:21.2, Y:25.0 (× 2)
- X:22.3, Y:26.8 (× 2)
- X:24.5, Y:22.6
Aetherytes
The one from Camp Bluefog (X:22.0, Y:30.5) is about the same distance from the Basilisks as the Processing Plant. And usually the teleportation fee is about the same to both too.
Involved in FATE
Region/Area
Northern Thanalan: Blue Fog
Nearest Aetheryte
Northern Thanalan: Ceruleum Processing Plant
Shelfclaw Reaver
Number Required: 4
As with all the other FFXIV Hunting Log guides I’ve done, the end of the Pugilist Hunting Log gives you your “opposite number”. In your case it’s the Shelfclaw Reaver.
Well, dear Monk…you have an elegantly-geared enemy, don’t you? One whose mind is not his own and who thinks a subligar is the best in battle fashion.
Where are the Shelfclaw Reavers?
They’re in the Serpent’s Tongue part of Western La Noscea. Put these Leviathan-loving thralls out of their ignorant misery would you?
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: The Serpent’s Tongue
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Zahar’ak Battle Drake
Number Required: 3
The Zahar’ak Battle Drake is just a different version of the Sagolii Desert’s Sundrake. Only this one is found in… you guessed it, Zahar’ak! These are the mounts of the Amalj’aa use (apparently without squashing them), or at least fight alongside.
Where are the Drakes?
Just stay on the West-to-East route and you’ll reach them. Now, here’s the thing: Zahar’ak can be really busy: access to the Amalj’aa Aetheryte is only possible this way, many of the Ring of Ash Tribal quests take place here and the Hunt and ARR relic quests often bring players this way.
Why do I say this? Because I only found four Battle Drakes. If you need to wait for them to respawn then please do that with patience!
Region/Area
Southern Thanalan: Zahar’ak
Nearest Aetheryte
Southern Thanalan: Little Ala Mhigo
Total EXP Available
- Total EXP for All Levels: 192,500
- EXP Clearing Rank 4: 40,000
- TOTAL: 232,500
Note, this excludes any EXP gained for defeating the individual enemies and bonuses due to Rested EXP.
TL;DR Is Pugilist Hunting Log Rank 5 the Beginning or the End?
With each basic class having its own FFXIV Hunting Log, it can sometimes feel endless. But you’ve made it to the end of the Pugilist Hunting Log Rank 5, so well done! Whether this is the end depends on how many classes you want to play! But the model used here is replicate in the Hunt and stages of the ARR Relic Weapon quests so at least you’ll now be familiar with it. In any case, I hope this guide helped you.
Enjoy your time in FFXIV and I’ll see yous soon for a new class!
