What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 94,630 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 60 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Walk the Walk, returns 812,920 EXP for the same allowance, 759% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 94,630 EXP to 812,920 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 759%, so the wrong pick leaves 718,290 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 62 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 705,130 EXP per allowance, 13% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 58 rung behind tops out at 484,390 EXP.
At Lv 60 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 415,953 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,098,783 EXP, which puts this leve 77% below its own category's average.
Beech Lumber ×1 is a Lv 61 Carpenter recipe, a single step, costing 4 units of raw material and 3 crystals.
Handing that in returns 23,658 EXP and 113 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
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 283,890 EXP and 1,353 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 283,890 EXP per allowance.
