What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 739,840 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 66 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 625,040 EXP, 16% less.
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 45% above its own category's average.
Marid Leather Bolero of Crafting ×1 is a Lv 67 Leatherworker recipe, 4 steps deep through 9 intermediates, costing 39 units of raw material and 54 crystals.
Handing that in returns 18,970 EXP and 83 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Goldsmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
