Men in Adamantite (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 4,462,490 EXP works out to 446,249 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 58 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Sir, Dost Thou Even Heft, returns 811,360 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 15,742 EXP to 811,360 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 5054%, so the wrong pick leaves 795,618 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 594,520 EXP per allowance, 27% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 534,960 EXP.

At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 327,945 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 716,251 EXP, which puts this leve 36% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 593 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 1,248 gil.

Adamantite Chain Hose of Fending ×3 is a Lv 59 Armorer recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 99 units of raw material and 117 crystals over 3 crafts.

Handing that in returns 45,076 EXP and 60 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith and Leatherworker.
