Bestiary anyone?

also having it as a downloadable phone item, etc would work.

Rather oddly, the Libra Eorzea app does have the info (well, minus the extra lore tidbits), but doesn't list Bestiary as a category. Its database categories are Items, Quests, Duty, NPCs, Crafting Log, Gathering Log, and Achievements. Yet you can start from one of those and find hidden Beastiary entries.

For example "Crafting Log -> Leatherworker -> 1-5 -> Leather" lists "Animal Skin" under Materials. Selecting that gives a page that lists the mobs that can drop it, and you can select any of those mobs (for the example I'll take the first one listed, "Surf Eft", though it's a long list) to get more info. That goes into a page identified as category "Enemies" name "Surf Eft" which gives their spawn location, level, and dropped items.

I haven't found any way to get to that page other than by linking through one of those dropped items, though, since "Enemies" (or "Bestiary" as I'd call it), isn't included in the top-level categories.

I didn't know it had all that info, guess I know what I am getting now. I never thought to check out the app they offered lol. Thanks for the heads up!

Love the idea! Also seconding the idea of it showing how many of that monster type we've killed along our journey.

Enemies are a sub-category under NPC's, in case anyone else was looking for them.
(at least that is how it is on the website...would expect the app is organized similarly)
