Following a carpenter friend of mine, I decided to try making a piccolo, a good instrument for beginners. But the price of the materials I needed to make the thing was sky-high! This is probably why so many of the adventurers out logging are actually carpenters. Seraphis, whom I met out on the Buburimu Peninsula, is one such carpenter. She's a newcomer to the world of carpentry and has taken up logging to support her hobby. Being such a newcomer, she lacks the experience to tell which trees are ready for the hatchet. She spends a lot of her time confused. Her linkshell friends think her a bit odd as they leave her behind to go slay monsters. They often tease her about whether chopping down trees is improving her axe-wielding skills. It doesn't seem to bother her, though; she's listening more to her heart than to her friends. " With the money I've spent on hatchets...No. I'll show them. I can follow the road of logging and carpentry all the way to fortune, " she says. This only makes her eyes shine brighter. There are other reasons why adventurers head out into the forest with a hatchet. Riddle the bard is an example. While she's still a beginner in carpentry, it is her dream to make instruments from wood she gathers herself. That's what led her to logging. Bards become one with their instruments, making beautiful music. The effect is even more powerful when it's an instrument you've poured your heart into--something you constructed from materials you gathered yourself. One day, Riddle will achieve her dream and play music that reaches to the very heart of Vana'diel's soul.
