Rolanberry Fields Forever

One allowance here buys 56,430 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 40 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Good Eats in Ishgard, returns 96,130 EXP for the same allowance, 70% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 44,930 EXP to 96,130 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 114%, so the wrong pick leaves 51,200 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 45 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 126,270 EXP per allowance, 31% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 35 rung behind tops out at 79,780 EXP.

At Lv 40 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 72,545 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 560,212 EXP, which puts this leve 22% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 481 gil per allowance is 2nd of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 559 gil.

Rolanberry Cheese ×3 is a Lv 43 Culinarian recipe, a single step, costing 3 units of raw material and 5 crystals.

Handing that in returns 18,810 EXP and 160 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
