What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 625,040 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 66 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Shrug It On, returns 739,840 EXP for the same allowance, 18% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 581,670 EXP to 739,840 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 27%, so the wrong pick leaves 158,170 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 68 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 1,182,260 EXP per allowance, 60% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 64 rung behind tops out at 709,140 EXP.
At Lv 66 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 510,818 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,156,384 EXP, which puts this leve 22% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 3,245 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 3,245 gil.
Marid Leather Gloves of Healing ×1 is a Lv 66 Leatherworker recipe, 4 steps deep through 7 intermediates, costing 35 units of raw material and 43 crystals.
Handing that in returns 17,858 EXP and 93 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Goldsmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
