Joined Carpernter's Guild, Now Want Out of It

1. By equipping the saw to complete the quest, my toon was stripped naked and all items were returned to the Armory Chest. Legs, feet, and gloves lost their glamours, and now those glamours can't be re-applied. The glamour-applying dialogue says it was completed, but also warns that it won't be applied if any class can't wear the glamour item. It worked fine until I equipped the saw.

In FF14, equipping weapons is how you change your class. So when you equipped the Saw, your class changed to "Level 1 Carpenter" and all of the equipment that a Level 1 Carpenter can't wear was unequipped.

But don't worry, all of your items and their glamours are still there! By equipping your old weapon, you can become your combat class again, and then you can equip your old gear and be back to normal!

One thing you'll probably want to do once you figure that out is to save Gear Sets for your different classes; that way you can easily switch from being a Carpenter to being a different class without becoming naked and having to put on all your clothes one-by-one. Here's the official tutorial page on that: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/uigui...pment_set.html

2. To complete the carpenter's quest, I have to synthesize maple logs into maple lumber. I've got the logs and wind shards to do it, but when attempting to use them in the carpentry class log, I hit "synthesize" and get no maple lumber. The class log offers no information as to why, and I can't find any info anywhere on how to perform it correctly.

If I understand you correctly, you chosen to synthesize the item, which starts the process of synthesis, but you have yet to play the "mini-game" that you need to do to actually finish the synthesis. There's an explainer if you go to this page and then click the big "Disciplines of the Hand" button: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/craft...ide/carpenter/

Thanks in advance for any help achieving my goal of getting out of carpentry.

I hope this helps!
