Time to step it up a notch with my FFXIV Rogue Hunting Log Rank 2 Guide! And it looks like I embarrassed myself and forgot to add a proper introduction, whoops! Guess I was too excited about helping you slice and dice your enemies so I just jumped right in. As should you. Let’s move on, shall we?!
When Can I Started Rank 2?
When
- You have cleared Rogue Hunting Log 1, and
- Are at least Level 10 in that class/job.
Hitting level 10 is no challenge, even as a non-primary class. The Hunting Log does much of it for you.
Let’s get to your targets for Rank 2, then!
Rogue Hunting Log Rank 2 Targets
Reward: 
10,000
Reward:
2,300Wild Jackal
Number Required: 3
But what kind of sneaky Rogue would you be, if you couldn’t side step an obvious first move?
Wild Jackals in Lower La Noscea
Though there are loads, the following coordinates have a few nearby
- X:20.0, Y:31.0
- X:20.5, Y:33.2
- X:22.5, Y:34.5 – near Empty Heart.
Local FATE
If you’re hunting these critters in Lower La Noscea, then they form part of 
Don’t Drink the Water.
You can also find these Jackals in Western La Noscea.

Region/Area
Lower La Noscea: the Gods’ Grip
Nearest Aetheryte
Lower La Noscea: Moraby Drydocks
Reward:
3,200Roseling
Number Required: 1
A wild Roseling goes wither it wishes and spitteth seeds at whomever it wishes also. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
They’re giant, freaky “flowers” that temporarily “plant” themselves, before uprooting themselves again and moving to a different location. For some odd reason you only need one of these, but they tend to hang around in twos and threes.
There is a FATE nearby with a particularly large Roseling, but that one won’t count. You want the easy-to-slice-with-your-knife kind. Probably.
Where Are Roselings?
They are just North of Swiftperch. So,
- Travel to the Aetheryte, or
- If you’re in Middle La Noscea, then head to Western and they’re pretty much the first enemies you find.
For Rogue Rank 2, you’ll need a couple of Sewer Moles to complete Difficulty 12. These are also nearby.
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Quarterstone
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Swiftperch
Sewer Mole
Number Required: 2
If a Sewer Mole is roaming around with a fair few others of its kind, don’t ask what Limsa’s hygiene situation is!
Sewer Mole Location
Pushing gross thoughts away for a bit, you can find them North of Swiftperch in Western La Noscea. They mix quite happily with Fat Dodos.
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Quarterstone
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Swiftperch
Reward:
4,000Fat Dodo
Number Required: 3
The Wild Dodo must have been a skinny bird, because this one is the official Fat Dodo!
Fat Dodo Location
Just North/North-West of Swiftperch there is a field full of Dodos, some of which are sat on their nests.
Nearby FATEs
These FATEs can be useful for your hunting log (except Tender Buttons), but really you need to be careful if you’re close to the level of the FATE. For a low-level area, it’s actually really easy to be swamped by angry Dodos. If that’s not high on your bucket list, then try to hunt around the FATEs. Use that stealth thing you Rogues are good at!
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Quarterstone
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Swiftperch
Reward:
4,500Moraby Mole
Number Required: 3
Trust me when I say, you’ll have no problem finding a Moraby Mole! For a start, the clue’s in the name, so you know where to start looking.
Moraby Mole Location
There are loads of the things just West of Moraby Drydocks. I found at least seven of the things, so clearing this Rogue Hunting Log entry really won’t cause you trouble.
There are also Mossless Goobbues and various other enemies meandering around too. Some are auto-aggressive, but not all.
Region/Area
Lower La Noscea: The Gods’ Grip
Nearest Aetheryte
Lower La Noscea: Moraby Drydocks
Reward:
5,000Qiqirn Eggdigger
Number Required: 3
Curiously, the Qiqirn Eggdigger appears to be nowhere near creatures that could provide actual eggs. Nevertheless, these rat-folk will attack you on-sight if you interrupt their attempt to find eggs in an eggless place!
Qiqirn Eggdigger Location
They occupy a small camp on the Salt Strand “beach” in Lower La Noscea, West of Moraby Drydocks.
Region/Area

Lower La Noscea: Moraby Drydocks
Reward:
5,300Puk Hatchling
Number Required: 3
Now, bear with me, because the Puk Hatchling is a bit strange. And I’m not talking about its bulbous head, either. It’s strange because there are are two places to find them – and of much different levels too.
Puk Hatchling Location
Now, the location map below is right outside of Limsa Lominsa in Middle La Noscea and these are about L4-5. The others, in Western La Noscea, are around Level 15. But it doesn’t matter if you’re doing this for Marauder Rank 2 or Arcanist Rank 1, it seems you can use this group.
Western La Noscea
Assuming you haven’t cleared the Puks out before you head to Western La Noscea, you’ll find them in the same area as the Hedgemoles and Dusk Bats.
Region/Area
Middle La Noscea: Zephyr Drift
Nearest Aetheryte
Limsa Lominsa (Any)
Reward:
5,500Rothlyt Pelican
Number Required: 3
Between Aleport and Camp Skull Valley, the hulking Rothlyt Pelican roams with quite a few of its kin. You’ll come across its cousin, the Giant Pelican, at a higher level, though it doesn’t feature in the same hunting log as these ones.
Rothlyt Pelican Location
To be less vague about where you can find them, they are either side of the marked road towards Camp Skull Valley. If you take the circle from Hedgemole and head North-West, you’ll find a larger cluster of pelicans too.
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Skull Valley
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Reward:
5,700Hedgemole
Number Required: 1
It’s a Molecupine! Well, no, I made that word up when I first wrote about the Tuco-Tuco, but the Hedgemole is the same creature. The only difference is that this one is in La Noscea and the other is in Thanalan.
Hedgemole Location
These are in roughly the same area as the Dusk Bats, North of Aleport in Western La Noscea.
The circled area on the map is approximate, but stay below the bumpy brown line and you’ll be fine.
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Skull Valley
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Killer Mantis
Number Required: 2
The Killer Mantis – to distinguish it from the other Mantises that do not kill things!
Killer Mantis Location
You can find them on both paths leading to the two Tidegates of Western La Noscea. If you clear the Rothlyt Pelicans, then these enemies are not much further West.
You will usually find more on the path towards the South Tidegate. But if another player is clearing a load, just head North and hunt in peace (hopefully).
Involved in FATEs
The coordinates below show where you can find the largest cluster.
Region/Area
Western La Noscea: Skull Valley
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Reward:
5,900Wild Wolf
Number Required: 3
The sinister-looking, huge-clawed, sharp-fanged Wild Wolf needed naming this way to make sure we weren’t confused with tame wolves! As with the Wild Jackal their first attack is an AoE directly at you that gives you a damage-over-time. Just side-step the AoE then slice its skinny body until it can bite no more.
Wild Wolf Location
These are found in Upper La Noscea – the Oakwood island. This is most quickly reached by taking the North-running path from Aleport in Western La Noscea. Upon entering the Upper region, these pointy-eared delights are there to welcome you!
Region/Area
Upper La Noscea: Oakwood
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport
Reward:
6,100Bumble Beetle
Number Required: 3
The Bumble Beetle is La Noscea’s version of the Boring Weevil. It’s a dark grey and yellow striped bug with furry antennae. And there are loads of them.
Bumble Beetle Location
They can be found in the Oakwood area of Upper La Noscea, which is most easily reached from Western La Noscea. The bugs in question are both:
- on the same level as Wild Wolf enemies, and
- on Thalaos where the Kobold Pickman and those of other ranks are.
Region/Area
Upper La Noscea: Oakwood
Nearest Aetheryte
Western La Noscea: Aleport, or Upper La Noscea: Bronze Lake
Total EXP Available
- Total EXP for All Levels: 10,000
- EXP Clearing Rank 2: 47,500
- TOTAL: 57,500
Note, this excludes any EXP gained for defeating the individual enemies and bonuses due to Rested EXP.
When Can I Start Hunting Log Rank 3?
Once:
- You have cleared Rank 2, and
- You are at least Level 20 as a Rogue.
TL;DR Get all “Dodge This” with Rogue Hunting Log Rank 2
A number of your hunting log targets have AoEs this time, so you have to learn to back off then jump back in. Or find an alternative, less dangerous side. But none of these are going to be able to dodge your quick attacks. At least, I hope not.
I already have nearly all the enemies for the next rank in my FFXIV Hunting Log database, so hopefully it won’t be long before I get it out to yous.
Have fun in Eorzea, folks.
