Bearing of the Blue

One allowance here buys 649,855 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 54 Fisher fieldcraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Analysis of Paralysis, returns 1,083,092 EXP for the same allowance, 67% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 108,309 EXP to 1,083,092 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 900%, so the wrong pick leaves 974,783 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Fisher fieldcraft leve returns 1,191,215 EXP per allowance, 10% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 1,001,778 EXP.

At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 6 Fieldcraft ones average 622,778 EXP per allowance, the 48 Tradecraft ones 296,533 EXP, which puts this leve 4% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 390 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 1,080 gil.

Nothing on the turn-in list is craftable in this data: Blue Cloud Coral ×3 has no recipe here, so 3 units must come from gathering, a vendor or a drop.

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 1,949,565 EXP and 1,170 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 1,949,565 EXP per allowance.
