Joined Carpernter's Guild, Now Want Out of It

Well...

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.

This happens pretty much every time you start a new class, since the new class is usually at level 1 and most gear isn't usable while that low. Same goes for glamours, which are applied only to the singular piece of gear and cannot be applied to gear of lower level than the glamour (or if you're using plates, then you can assign a plate to be auto-applied when you equip a gearset, but carries the same restrictions).

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.

When synthesizing, you actually have to 'craft' the item by executing some abilities. When you click the big yellow 'Synthesize' button, a window like this should appear:



You'll have to get the Progress to its max to actually craft the item. (Quality gives the item a chance to be High Quality, which makes crafted gear and consumables better, but is irrelevant at low levels)

At level 1, you have the 'Basic Synthesis' spell, which can only be used while this window is open. Use 'Basic Synthesis' a few times until the progress reaches the max, and then you'll have your lumber.

In the future, subsequent crafts of an item after the first can be automated with the 'Quick Synthesis' button.

I've had it with crafting classes, I want out of Carpenter class and Guild. All I want now is for my previously applied glamours to work. This has really taken the bloom off of my excitement from upgrading to the new expansion, which I just completed last night..

Once you join a crafting guild (e.g. unlock the crafting class associated it), you can't really leave it. However, you can freely switch off of the class by re-equipping a different class/job's weapon.
