Growing Apart

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Gairhard, the Twin Adder captain for whom you crafted a walnut cane, has once again requested your services. Craft an oak longbow of the highest quality and present it to Beatin for inspection.
* Your work elicits nary a complaint from Beatin. Deliver the longbow to Gairhard at the Adders' Nest.
* Gairhard thanks you for the bow, explaining that his squad cannot compromise on the quality of their equipment, due to the demanding nature of their reconnaissance missions. Unfortunately, it is because of one such mission that Gairhard will once again be unable to visit the Carpenters' Guild in person. Deliver the news to Beatin.
* Though he understands the responsibilities Gairhard has as a Twin Adder captain, he nevertheless exhibits an uncharacteristic worry upon hearing of his friend's latest mission. Brushing aside his concerns, he states that you will speak again when next he receives a commission for you.
※The next carpenter quest will be available from Beatin upon reaching level 40.
==Objectives==
* Present an oak longbow to Beatin.
* Deliver the oak longbow to Gairhard.

Beatine 	Well, well, if it isn't [Player Name]! You grow more popular with every commission.
Beatine 	Take that walnut cane, for example. You remember, don't you? The one you crafted not long ago.
Beatine 	It must have left quite the impression on Gairhard, because he has once again requested your services.
Beatine 	This time, he would have you craft an oak longbow─a quality longbow, but I presume you already knew that.
Beatine 	Gairhard's squad is considered one of the finest units in the Yellow Serpents. They are oft tasked with dangerous missions which carry them deep into hostile territory.
Beatine 	Our soldiers should never want for the best materiel. I trust you will not disappoint, [Player Name].
 	
Beatine 	Have you the longbow, [Player Name]?
Beatine 	Marvelous, simply marvelous!
Beatine 	Some carpenters claim that oak is ill-suited for use in longbows, and that other woods are far preferable.
Beatine 	But I would say you've chosen your materials well. This particular specimen is both hard and elastic, and I see no reason to believe it will take a permanent bend.
Beatine 	Of course, we have you to thank for that. The finest materials are nothing without a skilled craftsman to mold them.
Beatine 	Indeed, this longbow is a testament to your ever-growing skills.
Beatine 	Gairhard will approve. You may take it to him at the Adders' Nest.
 	
Gairhard 	Ah, [Player Name]! Do you have that longbow I requested?
Gairhard 	My word! I see my faith in you was not misplaced.
Gairhard 	I have a young archer under my command who will be thrilled to receive this.
Gairhard 	It's of critical importance that my squad keeps its weapons and armor in good shape. Our reconnaissance missions often require that we spend weeks in isolation, without any form of support.
Gairhard 	In fact, we leave for our next mission on the morrow. Unfortunately, this means I must once again postpone my visit to the guild.
Gairhard 	If Beatin complains, just give him a piece of quality lumber on my behalf. That should provide ample distraction. He's always been more passionate about his work than anything else...
Gairhard 	But I imagine you learned that long ago. Until we meet again, [Player Name].
 	
Beatine 	Gairhard was satisfied, then? Good, good...
Beatine 	Hm? Another mission?
Beatine 	I...I understand. We are both professionals, with responsibilities that cannot be ignored. Even so, it always gives me cause for worry.
Beatine 	I do not question his ability as a commander or as an archer. But, irrational as it may be, I...
Beatine 	Ah, forgive me. I am cursed with an overactive imagination. It is nothing, never mind.
Beatine 	We shall speak again when next I have a commission for you.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
