What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 23,080 EXP, which places it 6th 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, 495% 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 77% below its own category's average.
Raptor Leather ×1 is a Lv 41 Leatherworker recipe, a single step, costing 2 units of raw material and 5 crystals.
Handing that in returns 11,540 EXP and 101 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 69,240 EXP and 606 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 69,240 EXP per allowance.
