Barbmole Overview
The Barbmole is a Beastkin type enemy found in Final Fantasy XIV. These subterranean creatures are typically aggressive and are part of the mole family, characterized by their burrowing abilities and sharp claws.
Locations
Barbmoles are primarily located in the Gyr Abania region, specifically within The Fringes. Key areas where they can be encountered include:
- The Dimwold
- Areas surrounding Castrum Oriens
- Southern regions of The Fringes
They are often found in relatively high concentrations in these zones, making them accessible for hunting log completion or material farming.
Drops and Uses
Defeating Barbmoles can yield several items and serve various purposes:
- Barbmole Meat: A common drop used as an ingredient in Culinarian recipes.
- Animal Hide: Occasionally dropped, used in Leatherworker recipes. (Note: Specific hide type may vary or be generic).
- Earth Shards/Crystals: As with many earth-aspected creatures, they may drop these elemental crystals.
- Hunting Logs: Barbmoles are often targets for various class and job Hunting Logs.
- Quests and Levequests: They may be objectives for local side quests or levequests in The Fringes.
Their relatively low to mid-level range in the Stormblood expansion areas makes them common targets for players progressing through that content.
