Skillet with Fire (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 406,080 EXP works out to 40,608 EXP per allowance, which places it 6th of the 6 Lv 52 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Let Faith Light the Way, returns 555,260 EXP for the same allowance, 1267% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 40,608 EXP to 555,260 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1267%, so the wrong pick leaves 514,652 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 473,220 EXP per allowance, 15% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 211,350 EXP.

At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 251,119 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 576,023 EXP, which puts this leve 84% below its own category's average.

Frypan Caliente ×1 is a Lv 52 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 29 units of raw material and 24 crystals.

Handing that in returns 14,003 EXP and 32 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Armorer, Blacksmith and Carpenter.

The record carries a repeats value of 5. This site reads that as 5 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 2,436,480 EXP and 5,616 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 243,648 EXP per allowance.
