Skirt Chaser

One allowance here buys 102,600 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 40 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Not So Alike in Dignity, returns 125,680 EXP for the same allowance, 22% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 17,230 EXP to 125,680 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 629%, so the wrong pick leaves 108,450 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 45 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 137,400 EXP per allowance, 9% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 35 rung behind tops out at 94,160 EXP.

At Lv 40 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 72,545 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 560,212 EXP, which puts this leve 41% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 478 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 644 gil.

Boarskin Skirt ×1 is a Lv 41 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 23 crystals.

Handing that in returns 11,400 EXP and 53 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
