One allowance here buys 200,450 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 50 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, The Goggles, They Do Naught, returns 334,080 EXP for the same allowance, 67% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 200,450 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 67%, so the wrong pick leaves 133,630 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 629,850 EXP per allowance, 89% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 137,400 EXP.

At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 238,216 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 834,862 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 132,961 EXP, which puts this leve 16% below its own category's average.

Yeti Staff ×1 is a Lv 51 Goldsmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 20 units of raw material and 27 crystals.

Handing that in returns 10,023 EXP and 12 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Carpenter and Goldsmith.

The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 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 601,350 EXP and 744 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 601,350 EXP per allowance.
