One of the most important materials in Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 patch and beyond 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 Lumber is partially constructed from Paldao Logs, which are difficult to obtain gathering material.

This will unlock your ability to see Paldao Logs.
The Paldao Log gathering node appears in Elpis, at X: 10, Y: 30. Paldao Logs gathering 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 an hour. The Paldao Logs node will stay visible for two in-game hours (two minutes). You’ll need at least 3,600 Perception to attempt gathering Paldao Logs, otherwise, the attempt will fail automatically. Paldao Logs are also tradable and marketable, so they will be available on the Market Board.
