Fitting In

One allowance here buys 225,670 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 60 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Vested Interest, returns 703,720 EXP for the same allowance, 212% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 225,670 EXP to 703,720 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 212%, so the wrong pick leaves 478,050 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 62 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 595,710 EXP per allowance, 15% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 58 rung behind tops out at 593,380 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 46% below its own category's average.

Gaganaskin Hat of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 61 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 16 units of raw material and 15 crystals.

Handing that in returns 14,104 EXP and 42 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.

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 677,010 EXP and 2,028 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 677,010 EXP per allowance.
