Tenderfoot Moments

One allowance here buys 121,320 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 45 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Hold On Tight, returns 137,400 EXP for the same allowance, 13% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 23,080 EXP to 137,400 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 495%, so the wrong pick leaves 114,320 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 50 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 334,080 EXP per allowance, 143% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 40 rung behind tops out at 125,680 EXP.

At Lv 45 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 98,250 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 733,026 EXP, which puts this leve 23% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 509 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 691 gil.

Hunting Moccasins ×1 is a Lv 47 Leatherworker recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 6 units of raw material and 20 crystals.

Handing that in returns 20,220 EXP and 85 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist and Leatherworker.
