On Their Feet Again

One allowance here buys 15,980 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 15 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Heads Up, returns 18,910 EXP for the same allowance, 18% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 6,110 EXP to 18,910 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 209%, so the wrong pick leaves 12,800 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 20 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 24,710 EXP per allowance, 31% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 10 rung behind tops out at 9,990 EXP.

At Lv 15 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 16,554 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 78,432 EXP, which puts this leve 3% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 343 gil per allowance is 1st of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 343 gil.

Hard Leather Espadrilles ×1 is a Lv 17 Leatherworker recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 5 units of raw material and 4 crystals.

Handing that in returns 3,196 EXP and 69 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Carpenter and Leatherworker.
