And My Axe

One allowance here buys 425,480 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 64 Blacksmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Killer Cutlery, returns 489,060 EXP for the same allowance, 15% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 185,340 EXP to 489,060 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 164%, so the wrong pick leaves 303,720 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 66 Blacksmith tradecraft leve returns 625,040 EXP per allowance, 28% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 62 rung behind tops out at 705,130 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 2% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 1,082 gil per allowance is 3rd of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 2,995 gil.

Doman Iron War Axe ×1 is a Lv 64 Blacksmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 27 units of raw material and 30 crystals.

Handing that in returns 15,759 EXP and 40 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Carpenter, Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
