In this guide, I will go over the locations of every monster for Lancer's tier 3 hunting log. For the cover page I will supply the entire tier 3 monster list. Also I'll list the five zones you will be visiting.
Monster List:
- Stoneshell:A
- Apkallu: B
- Smallmouth Orobon: C
- Redbelly Lookout: D
- Antelope Stag: E
- Goblin Thug: F
- Coeurlclaw Poacher: G
- Midland Condor: H
- Yarzon Scavenger
- Moondrip Piledriver: J
- Sabotender: K
- Sandskin Peiste: L
- Corpse Brigade Firedancer: M
All of the monsters are spread out through five zones. For the most part, they are clustered in one section of the zone. South shroud is the only exception to that being that the entire area is covered with monsters. The five areas you will be visiting are as follows with the telepoint you will want to use.
- Upper La Noscea: Camp Bronze Lake
- Eastern La Noscea: Costa Del Sol
- South Shroud: Quarrymill
- Western Thanalan: Horizon
- Southern Thanalan: Little Ala Mhigo
The next five slides will be each individual zone. The monsters will all be marked by the letters assigned to them in the list above. I will also do an area based list of just that zone's monsters on the corresponding slide.
Also, make sure to check out my list of guides for other guides for FFXIV.
Upper La Noscea
Stoneshell: A
The first area is Upper La Noscea. This area is home only to the Stoneshell. The easiest way to get to them is to teleport to Camp Bronze Lake, and take the ferry in the southwest corner. Once you use the ferry you are literally right on top of the Stoneshells.
Eastern La Noscea
Apkallu: B
While not actually the second target on the log, the next monster is Apkallu. It is actually near the bottom of the log list. To get to the Apkallu just teleport to Costa Del Sol and go south. The little green penguins all spawn near the bottom of the map with the big crabs.
South Shroud
South Shroud, as you can see, has a considerable amount of monsters. I will put them in the order most convenient for a higher level Lancer. If you are on the lower end of 20-30 stick with the entry list on the log itself. That would be the best order for you.
Goblin Thug: F
If you teleport into Quarrymill, take the southeast gate out of the camp. Go straight to the marked water and you will find the Goblin Thug camp. These are level 28 monsters, which is why it's best to stick with the log order if you're lower than 27.
Coeurlclaw Poacher: G
Continuing east from the Goblin Thugs you'll run into a poacher camp along the eastern wall. The Coeurlclaw Poachers will be mixed in with all the others.
Antelope Stag: E
There are two spawn points for stags. I will lead you to the more efficient point at the northeast corner of the map. Going back west from the poacher camp you'll want to turn north near the goblin camp.there will be a little bridge leading you right to the Antelope Stag spawn that you want.
As a side note the point on the east of Quarrymill has only about three stag spawns.
Redbelly Lookout: D
Again moving west you'll find several Redbellys the Lookouts are mixed in with the rest. Just pick off the Lookouts and move on.
Smallmouth Orobon: C
I have marked both ends of the river that the Smallmouth Orobon spawn in. You can practically go to any point on the river and find them.
Midland Condor: H
The last monster in this area is also the highest level monster on this tier. Midland Condors are level 30 so be careful when approaching them. You can just path straight south from the orobons to get to the condors. The condors themselves are spaced out a bit so just be aware that they won't be clustered like the other monsters in this area.
Western Thanalan
Both monsters you need to kill in this area are north of the Vesper Bay area. When you teleport in to Horizon go to Vesper Bay as if you were going to do story quests (straight west).
Yarzon Scavenger: I
From Vesper Bay follow the path north until you run into the yarzons. You can't miss them unless they are all dead.
Moondrip Piledriver: J
After you finish the yarzons, continue north following the right wall. There is a little mini cave to the east of the main cave with a few different Moondrip mobs. There are only a total of three possible Moondrip Piledriver spawns in this area so if you don't see them wait a few minutes.
Southern Thanalan
For this area I'm just going to go clockwise around the map.
Sabotender: K
Follow the western path out of the Little Ala Mhigo camp and the Sabotenders are right outside.
Sandskin Peiste: L
Going north from the Sabotenders will take you straight to the peistes. Be careful as there are a few larger peiste that roam the area that will do more damage and have more health.
Corpse Brigade Firedancer: M
If you go a bit north while you're going east you can cut around to the Corpse Brigade monsters. you can also cut through the ruins to the south to get to them, but the north side is safer.
