A couple of things

[-DMR-]

I've been having a couple of issues on the game...

1 - In the Archanist hunting log 3rd level list, theres an entry stating Lead Coblyn. I have been to the area mentioned and theres no such creature round the whole area (I have looked 2 or 3 times). The other entries on that list are a higher level.

2 - The 4th Conjurer quest (Lv5) is in the North Shroud area, however that area has creatures of a level I haven't reached yet, in the Archanist skill.

Has there been a way of successfully doing the 2 things mentioned? For the 2nd, I thought about leveling up in the Archanist skill before approaching the North Shroud area.

Could you give me the name of the quest?

Its the 'Trial By Earth' CNJ quest, Im pretty sure the quest icon is on the North Shroud area of the map.

The Lead Coblyns are farther along than you think. Go through the area actually labelled Footfalls until you reach Vesper Bay. Then go north to the mine entrance. That's where the coblyns are.

For North Shroud, there are 2 distinct parts. One which is low level and one which varies from mid-20's all the way up to mid-40's. Go out White Wolf gate and you'll be fine. Stay in the general Eastern section. If you see any NPCs standing guard over bridges or gates, those are places you don't want to go.

There are some higher level creatures in the area but from the quest, you are just to speak to Nolanel in the area, Blessed Bud, coordinates (25,28) on the map. The quest actually sends you behind the house to the garden looking area, in the treespeak zone to take out some monsters. You won't be involved in slaying anything that is rather high level in that blessed bud area. Later on you may come back and beat on them if you'd like.

Hopefully this helps.

Ok, I'll see what I can do

Hello, I've completed both of those hunting logs. Generally, the hunting logs will have enemies strewn along the path of your main scenario. Use those as rough guide lines to guide you to the appropriate level.

1 - In the Archanist hunting log 3rd level list, theres an entry stating Lead Coblyn. I have been to the area mentioned and theres no such creature round the whole area (I have looked 2 or 3 times). The other entries on that list are a higher level.

Refer to this map. The Lead Coblyn is a Lv.20 monster located in the Footfalls Region of Western Thanalan. This region actually extends to the north of Vesper Bay and includes Parata's Peace and Moondrip. The Coblyns you want are located north of Vesper Bay, in the southern portion of Parata's Peace. If you go north, enter a cave, and come across some floating bogeys, you'll be on the right path.

2 - The 4th Conjurer quest (Lv5) is in the North Shroud area, however that area has creatures of a level I haven't reached yet, in the Archanist skill.

That is actually the 3rd conjurer quest, Trial by Earth. I am not certain which region of the map you are exploring yet, but the north shroud has a large gap. The region you are looking for specifically is in the lv.1-10 region, Treespeak. Don't worry too much about the lv.24 Ixali. The location you are looking for is nowhere near them. As far as leveling goes, you are free to level any classes at any speed you want. I've known some individuals to level all classes, battle, gather, and craft at the same time.

Conjurer quests can only be done as a conjurer, so your arcanist level is irrelevant to them. And the North Shroud has a wide range of levels (starting with level 1 and 2 mobs near the gate). I'd have to double-check where exactly in the North Shroud that one takes place, but I don't recall the surroundings as being dangerous on any of the conjurer quests done on-level. (I've done up through the level 25 one so far.) The quests themselves will trigger quest-specific mobs which are the ones intended to challenge you.

That area of the North Shroud (Treespeak) isn't that dangerous at all - the only aggressive enemies in Treespeak is a small group of Ixal who spawn on the far east side of that section towards the river who are around level 5, but everything else is around level 2-4 and passive, so as long as you keep away from the Ixal you should be fine.

The npc that you have to speak to for the CNJ quest is a male elezen CNJ standing in front of a tree stump with two women (a hyur and miqo'te) in gardening gear, in the valley to the east of Treespeak Stables (the large building), and there is nothing in that spot that is aggressive. After you speak to him you then have to go to the vegetable garden behind the stables (the map should show you the general location of where to go, but just head up to the stables and walk around the eastern side to the rear and you should find the tainted patch of earth without too much trouble.

Another thing I need to do track down 2 Overgrown Ivy creatures in the Nine Ivies area (to complete another hunting log entry), if I can find them, then continue the conjurer quest.
