A few tips prior to getting started:
For non-high quality requests, you cannot split the turn in if the item stacks. For example, lumber: you need either all normal or all high quality to turn in the quest. For equipment since it doesn’t stack it doesn’t matter. Usually 1-15 craft quests the materials are sold from NPCs around Eorzea. Most of the materials can be picked up from the Guild shop. Shards can not be bought from NPCs. It’s best to go farm them for yourself if you are out, instead of buying them from the market boards. Shards are a level one gathering item for both Botany and Mining.
My First Saw: Level 1
You get this quest as soon as you unlock Carpenter. The item requested is one Maple Lumber.
Here are a couple of Carpenter saws.
Maple Lumber:
Wind Shard X1 Maple Log X3
To Be The Wood: Level 5
This quest is unlocked at level five. You are asked to create three Square Maple Shields.

Supplies For The Sick: Level 10
Upon reaching level 10, Beatin will request 12 lengths of Ash Lumber.

Wind Shard X1 Ash Log X3
Total material requirements if you do not fail or high quality:
Wind Shard X12 Ash Log X36
A Carpenter In Need: Level 15
At Level 15 returning to Beatin will result in being asked to assist another Carpenter. The Carpenter requests that you fulfill one of his orders. He asks that you craft and deliver an Ash Shortbow and a Feathered Harpoon.
Here is a look at the level 50 Carpenter gear.

Wind Shard X1 Ice Shard X1 Ash Lumber X1 Ash Branch X1 Hempen Yarn X1
Feathered Harpoon:
Wind Shard X1 Ice Shard X1 Ash Lumber X1 Crow Feather X1 Soiled Femur X1 Animal Glue X1
Total material requirements if you do not fail:
Wind Shard X2 Ice Shard X2 Ash Lumber X2 Ash Branch X1 Hempen Yarn X1 Crow Feather X1 Soiled Femur X1 Animal Glue X1
The Lance’s Lesson: Level 20
Beatin requests an Iron Lance, with a materia of any kind slotted in it for this quest. If you haven’t already, travel to Black Brush Station as a level 19 or higher crafting class to unlock the Meld ability. I suggest using a tier one materia as Grade 1 Carbonized Matter is easy to obtain.
Iron Lance:
Wind Shard X1 Ice Shard X1 Elm Limber X1 Iron Ingot X2 Hard Leather X1
To meld the materia you will need one materia of any kind with the corresponding grade of Carbonized Matter.
A Crisis Of Confidence: Level 25
Beatin sends you off to talk to the NPC children in the orchard without requesting any items. Nicoliaux requests that you deliver a high quality Walnut Lumber to Beatin. This is the first time you are tasked to turn in a high quality item. Remember tha normal quality will not progress the quest. If you don’t think you can high quality the lumber, pick up high quality logs.
Walnut Lumber(HQ):
Wind Shard X2 Walnut Log X3
This wraps up the first half of the Carpenter class quest turn in guide. I’ll be adding all of these guides to my list of FFXIV guides as I write them.
