Eyes Bigger than the Plate

One allowance here buys 1,160 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 1 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 2 other leves on the rung match exactly. The best of them, Don't Hit Me One More Time, returns 1,690 EXP for the same allowance, 46% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 630 EXP to 1,690 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 168%, so the wrong pick leaves 1,060 EXP of the allowance unspent.

Lv 1 is the lowest rung this data records for Armorer tradecraft leves, and the next one, Lv 5, tops out at 8,460 EXP per allowance — 401% more than the best available here.

At Lv 1 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 1,110 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 19,656 EXP, which puts this leve 5% above its own category's average.

Bronze Plate ×1 is a Lv 3 Armorer recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 6 units of raw material and 3 crystals.

Handing that in returns 193 EXP and 19 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Armorer and Blacksmith.
