Copper and Robbers

One allowance here buys 630 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 1 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 2 other leves on the rung match exactly. The best of them, Needful Rings, returns 1,690 EXP for the same allowance, 168% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 450 EXP to 1,690 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 276%, so the wrong pick leaves 1,240 EXP of the allowance unspent.

Lv 1 is the lowest rung this data records for Goldsmith tradecraft leves, and the next one, Lv 5, tops out at 3,600 EXP per allowance — 113% 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 43% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 113 gil per allowance is 2nd of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 116 gil.

Copper Ingot ×1 is a Lv 1 Goldsmith recipe, a single step, costing 3 units of raw material and 1 crystal.

Handing that in returns 210 EXP and 38 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
