FFXVI Make do and Mend Sidequest Guide, Lore, etc


Make do and Mend is a Sidequest in FFXVI taken from Geoffroy,Head Carpenter, at Hideaway. Make do and Mend becomes available at the main scenario quest Hide, Hideaway.

See: All FFXVI Sidequests List | FFXVI Walkthrough (SPOILER FREE)

Make do and Mend Objectives

Pre-quest / Intro: Geoffroy explains how the Hideaway, while built to last, won’t last forever… Repairs and maintenance need to be done, and that’s where you come in! We need to find wood, but we need to ask where to get some first...

Speak with a carpenter at the White Adze

The carpenter shows you a pile of wood, and quite graciously thanks you for the assistance.

Collect the Planks

Pick them up nearby. Thankfully, Clive didn’t forget his name…

Deliver the planks to Geoffroy

After handing the wood over, Geoffroy thanks Clive. While looking a little worse for wear, the Hideaway beats literally any other alternative for many of its inhabitants. Bearers are treated well and equally here, and that's something some of them have never felt in their life. Hideaway ain't so bad, ey?

Make do and Mend: Rewards or Unlocks

No notable rewards.


While most of these sidequest guides are unnecessary, I mainly made these as a way to "forever remember" my thoughts, as well as give me a way to "backtrack" in case I forget things about FFXVI.

Impressively the sidequests in FFXVI, I felt for the majority, really helps build the world and lore. I highly recommend doing them asap during the main scenario / campaign. Might as well check out the Hunts too.
