Shoe on the Other Foot

One allowance here buys 599,100 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 64 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Try Tricorne Again, returns 709,140 EXP for the same allowance, 18% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 142,900 EXP to 709,140 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 396%, so the wrong pick leaves 566,240 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 66 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 739,840 EXP per allowance, 4% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 62 rung behind tops out at 595,710 EXP.

At Lv 64 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 435,661 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,139,405 EXP, which puts this leve 38% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 2,995 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 2,995 gil.

Tigerskin Boots of Crafting ×1 is a Lv 65 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 21 units of raw material and 23 crystals.
