Sweeping the Legs

One allowance here buys 375,020 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 66 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Art Imitates Life, returns 969,450 EXP for the same allowance, 159% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 280,630 EXP to 969,450 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 245%, so the wrong pick leaves 688,820 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 68 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 681,530 EXP per allowance, 30% less 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 27% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 1,172 gil per allowance is 3rd of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 3,245 gil.

Doman Steel Greaves of Striking ×1 is a Lv 66 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 6 intermediates, costing 38 units of raw material and 45 crystals.

Handing that in returns 9,869 EXP and 31 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith, Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
