What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,160 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 1 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Touch and Heal, 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 — 4 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 Carpenter tradecraft leves, and the next one, Lv 5, tops out at 6,840 EXP per allowance — 305% 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.
Gil ranks it differently: 112 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 113 gil.
Maple Shortbow ×1 is a Lv 2 Carpenter recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 5 units of raw material and 4 crystals.
Handing that in returns 232 EXP and 22 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Carpenter and Weaver.
