Emergency Patches

One allowance here buys 52,220 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 30 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, The Hand that Bleeds, returns 67,730 EXP for the same allowance, 30% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 10,740 EXP to 67,730 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 531%, so the wrong pick leaves 56,990 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 35 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 94,160 EXP per allowance, 39% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 25 rung behind tops out at 41,630 EXP.

At Lv 30 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 44,832 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 275,323 EXP, which puts this leve 16% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 410 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 563 gil.

Skull Eyepatch ×1 is a Lv 33 Leatherworker recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 5 units of raw material and 10 crystals.

Handing that in returns 10,444 EXP and 82 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.
