What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 94,160 EXP, the best on the Lv 35 Leatherworker tradecraft rung — matched exactly by 1 other leve of the 6 there, with the rest trailing at 83,050 EXP or less.
Across that rung the return runs from 14,940 EXP to 94,160 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 530%, so the wrong pick leaves 79,220 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 40 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 125,680 EXP per allowance, 33% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 30 rung behind tops out at 67,730 EXP.
At Lv 35 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 61,959 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 378,392 EXP, which puts this leve 52% above its own category's average.
Fingerless Peisteskin Gloves ×1 is a Lv 38 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 25 crystals.
Handing that in returns 10,462 EXP and 73 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith and Leatherworker.
