FFXIV Thaumaturge Hunting Log Rank 3 (2024)

Kedtrap

Number Required: 3

Yay, another semi-sentient plant. Kedtraps are huge, moving "flowers" that spit seeds at you. It's so nice to know the Twelveswood is so calm and tranquil. Also, have you seen an actual Ked, yet? If anything these blooms would be trapped by the Keds, not vice versa!

Kedtrap Location

These can be picked off individually, so I've marked a few dots on the map. However, the easiest way to clear it is if the FATE Kickin' it with the Kedtraps is on.

Overgrown Ivy

Number Required: 4

The more you venture through FFXIV, the larger some things get - but you remain the same size! Seems a tad unfair. Overgrown Ivy are larger version of the Microchu seen elsewhere. And there's a FATE nearby here with an enormous (overfed) one, too!You'll find Overgrown Ivies in...wait for it, the Nine Ivies part of the East Shroud. Though there are definitely more than Nine around here.

Forest Yarzon

Number Required: 4

As the Forest Yarzon is only Difficulty 22 for Thaumaturges, I can say with certainty that you must be sick of Yarzons! And if you're not, you will be by the end of Rank 3!

Where are Forest Yarzons?

You'll find this particular breed of ugliness en route to Fool Falls, not far from some Coeurl Pups, and other types.

Alternative Aetheryte

Also, while Camp Bronze Lake is theoretically nearer, if you're close to being on-level, then Aleport is much easier.

Yarzon Scavenger

Number Required: 2

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.

Bark 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.

Laughing Toad

Number Required: 4

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.

Glowfly

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.

Jumping Djigga

Number Required: 4

What a beautiful, buggy source of disease! I can't imagine why you'd be asked to kill a number of this poisonous death-bringers, can you? The Jumping Djigga does as its name implies - it jumps and flutters from place-to-place, rather than actually flying.This breed of insect is found in the Bramble Patch, but not the area you initially arrive in. Take the North-West path (on the map it's the path that's parallel to the one for the Sanctum of the Twelve). Incidentally, if Glowfly is also on your Hunting Log Rank 3, then they are in the same area as the Jumping Djiggas.

River Yarzon

Number Required: 4

I bet you'll never guess what kind of location you'll find the River Yarzon in? A river! I knew I'd surprise you with that revelation. It's slightly underwhelming given the Forest Yarzons are also found in a river. As are many others! But not all.The particular river you're looking for comes straight out of the South-Western wall of Quarrymill. It roughly continues in that direction too.

Potter Wasp Swarm

Number Required: 4

Do all these clouds of bee-flies look the same to you? Regardless of the appearance, the ones in Southern Thanalan are Potter Wasp Swarms. They do spawn in various locations and bumble around a smallish area. Here I've marked where there are two swarms together, just North of The Sepulcre, where you'll also find the Corpse Brigade Knuckledancers.

Phurble

Number Required: 4

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.

Phurble Location

Sadly these are a bit of a trek to get to, as Camp Drybone is your closest Aethyrite. Your hairy voidsent can be found as you head towards Burgundy Falls and the Burning Wall.

Corpse Brigade Knuckledancer

Number Required: 4

What a lovely club the Corpse Brigade are! Oh no, I confused them with something else... There are various classes in and around The Sepulcre in Southern Thanalan, but it's the scowling, Corpse Brigade Knuckledancer Hyurs you're after.Thankfully you can clear this hunting log entry without going inside - assuming no other players are around. Various quests do bring you here, so be patient if others are nearby.If you're even vaguely on-level, inside is pretty much a death trap with the number of enemies in there.

Fire Sprite

Number Required: 4

Fire Sprites are found all over the place, as with other Elemental sprites and, unsurprisingly, usually near fire and/or in hot areas. They're also very pretty and mesmerising - and (except when involved in a FATE or Leve) are passive, so they only attack you when you hit them first. Seems fair enough.The Thaumaturge Hunting Log Rank 3 suggests The Red Labyrith in Southern Thanalan. But I think this is just because it roughly matches the level of the log. I forgot to check if any Fire Sprite will do. If you cleared this with those you find <L10, can you tweet me to confirm (or deny) whether I'm correct. Thanks!

Stroper

Number Required: 4

And welcome to my most detested enemy-type in FFXIV, the Stroper, part of the

hated Morbol family. These revolting, giant, anything-eater plants are plentiful.

Stroper Location

They're found in the Central Shroud at Hopeseed Pond where, ironically, you will find precisely zero hope. There are also Stropers in the South Shroud (Lower Paths), where they are a few levels higher.
