How to find Cocobolo Lumber in FFXIV

Cocobolo Lumber is an incredibly rare material that is only available from the Submersible Voyages added in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. To be able to farm for the item, you’ll first need to have a free company house and a submersible. You’ll need to send it on expeditions to the appropriate location, and then you’ll have a random chance of receiving some Cocobola Lumber, although the drop rate is very small.

Which submarine ventures return with Cocobolo Lumber?

The following ventures have a chance to return Cocobolo Lumber in Final Fantasy 14:

  • Anthemoessa
  • Coldtoe Isle
  • Moergynn's Forge
  • Sea of Ash 1
  • Sea of Ash 2
  • Sirensong Sea 2
  • South Isle of Zozonan
  • Tangaroa's Prow
  • The Lone Glove
  • The Open Robe
  • Thrall's Unrest
  • Wreckage of the Windwalker

In addition, Cocobolo Lumber only drops from Clear and Calm weather conditions. This means your submersible will require a high Surveillance stat. The minimum required is 145, but to be safe, we recommend 160.

Is there a more sustainable way to get Cocobolo Lumber in FFXIV?

Cocobolo Lumber is one of the most difficult-to-obtain materials currently in the game. In most cases, the best way to get this item is to almost forget about it. Many of the more advanced housing, submersible, and airship designs need hundreds of pieces of Pure Titanium Ore, Cryptomeria Logs, etc. While you’re gathering these materials, you might just get lucky.

Of course, Cocobolo Lumber is also marketable and tradable, but Market Board prices mean it often veers into the several million gil territory!
