FFXIV Hunting Log Guide
A complete guide to unlocking and completing the Hunting Log for all A Realm Reborn classes.The Hunting Log is one of the most efficient ways to level up secondary classes from 1 to 50. It tasks you with defeating specific enemies in the open world for massive experience bonuses.
How to Unlock
Unlike many other features, the Hunting Log is automatically unlocked as soon as you complete your very first Class Quest (Level 1) for any of the starting classes.
Once unlocked, you can access it by pressing 'H' on your keyboard or navigating to Logs > Hunting Log in the main menu.
Class Hunting Logs (Ranks 1-5)
Each starting class (Gladiator, Marauder, Lancer, etc.) has its own unique log. There are 5 Ranks, with each rank generally corresponding to 10 levels of gameplay:
- Rank 1: Levels 1-10
- Rank 2: Levels 11-20 (Unlocked after completing Rank 1)
- Rank 3: Levels 21-30
- Rank 4: Levels 31-40
- Rank 5: Levels 41-50
Grand Company Hunting Logs
Once you join a Grand Company (Maelstrom, Twin Adders, or Immortal Flames) around Level 20, you unlock a separate GC Hunting Log. This is required to increase your rank within the Grand Company.
- Rank 1: Required for promotion to Corporal.
- Rank 2: Required for promotion to Second Lieutenant.
- Rank 3: Focuses on dungeon enemies and beast tribes.
