A Crisis of Confidence

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Though he did not choose to confide in you, something is clearly troubling Beatin. For now, he has asked you to attend to the younglings in the Acorn Orchard.
* Nicoliaux is certain that Beatin is experiencing a sudden dearth of creativity. Until the timbermaster finds a new source of inspiration, Nicoliaux fears he will remain morose and uninteresting. Craft and bring Beatin a length of high-quality walnut lumber to deliver him from his depression.
* Just as Nicoliaux intended, Beatin is struck by the seemingly infinite uses to which he might put your high-quality walnut lumber. Recalling an old friend who once aided him in similar fashion, he thanks you for your help, before reminding you that he expects nothing less than the best from one with your undoubted talent.
※The next carpenter quest will be available from Beatin upon reaching level 30.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Nicoliaux.
* Deliver a length of walnut lumber to Beatin.

Beatine 	... <sigh>
Beatine 	Oh, [Player Name]. You look well. If you have come in search of work, I fear I have nothing to offer.
Beatine 	Though...if you have no other pressing responsibilities, you might consider spending some time with the younglings in the Acorn Orchard.
Beatine 	The workshop has demanded my full attention of late, and I have been unable to see to them myself.
Beatine 	...That will be all, [Player Name].
 	
Nicoliaux 	Hey, you're one of those adventurers that joined the guild!
Nicoliaux 	Beatin's down in the dumps, is he? No wonder he hasn't visited in ages.
Nicoliaux 	I've seen him like this before. I'll bet it's because he can't think of anything new to make.
Nicoliaux 	He's no fun when he's like this. I prefer it when he's waving his saw around and threatening to tie his useless new apprentices to Figaga's Gift and─
Nicoliaux 	Wait, I know! You're a pretty good carpenter, right?
Nicoliaux 	Then you can make high-quality walnut lumber!
Nicoliaux 	You know how he's always saying stuff like, “You must KNOW the wood,” and all that? Well, I bet if we gave him some really good wood, it'd cheer him up in no time!
Nicoliaux 	I know it sounds a bit strange, but then he is a bit strange, isn't he? And we have to try something! I miss the mean old Beatin!
 	
Beatine 	...Leave me be, [Player Name]. I must focus.
Beatine 	What is this malaise which plagues me? I thought myself resolute as an iron lance, and yet...
Beatine 	...Hm?
Beatine 	Yes...I feel it. I feel it! This high-quality walnut lumber, it is your handiwork, is it not?
Beatine 	Dense, durable, and expertly finished. There is no doubting your skill, [Player Name].
Beatine 	Walnut furniture was once quite popular in Ul'dah...mayhap we could revive that tradition...
Beatine 	Or, better yet, produce a sturdier base for a new vamplate design...
Beatine 	The possibilities are endless! Thanks to you, [Player Name], it seems I am now paralyzed with indecision.
Beatine 	How you have grown, and in so short a time. You remind me of a dear friend, another soul possessed of great passion. Though we walked different paths, we pushed each other to give nothing less than our utmost.
Beatine 	He even helped me through those times when inspiration failed me. I see much of him in you─and so I know I can hold you to the same high standards. Return to your work, [Player Name]...and do not disappoint me.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
