Halonic Hermeneutics

One allowance here buys 200,450 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 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 33,408 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 900%, so the wrong pick leaves 300,672 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 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 176,840 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 553,899 EXP, which puts this leve 13% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 248 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 686 gil.

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.
