What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,690 EXP, the best on the Lv 1 Carpenter tradecraft rung — matched exactly by 1 other leve of the 6 there, with the rest trailing at 1,330 EXP or less.
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 52% above its own category's average.
Square Maple Shield ×1 is a Lv 5 Carpenter recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 7 crystals.
Handing that in returns 188 EXP and 13 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith and Carpenter.
