One of the most important materials in the Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 patch and later is Paldao Lumber. This crafting material appears in dozens of recipes, including the item level 620 Indagator’s gear. Here’s how to get Paldao Lumber in FFXIV.
Paldao Log Collection in FFXIV
Paldao Lumber is partially built from Paldao Logs, which are difficult to obtain as a gathering material. First, in order to collect Paldao Logs, you must have unlocked the Geological Folklore Tome – The World Unbroken. These can be obtained by trading 15 Regional Folklore Merchant Token C toward Splendor Vendor in Radz-at-Han (X: 11.4, Y: 9.1). This will unlock the ability for him to view Paldao’s records.
The Paldao Log Collection Node spawns in Elpis, at X:10, Y:30. The Paldao Log Collection Node only spawns at 2:00 AM. and 2:00 pm Eorzea time (ET). Each hour in Eorzean Time is one minute, so an Eorzean “Day” is roughly one hour. The Paldao Records node will remain visible for two in-game hours (two minutes). You’ll need at least 3600 perception points to attempt to collect Paldao logs; otherwise the attempt will automatically fail. Paldao Logs are also tradable and tradeable, so they will be available on the Market Board.

Paldao wood processing
Paldao Lumber can be crafted using five Paldao Logs and two Hannish Varnish. Hannish Varnish is a material purchased from NPC Cihanti.
Paldao Lumber is a level 90 Woodworking recipe and requires 3700 Crafting and 3280 Control. This means you’ll probably need a minimum of item level 590 crafting gear, fully slotted with Materia, to build it.
