Coral on My Mind

One allowance here buys 40,730 EXP, which places it 5th of the 6 Lv 40 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, When We Were Blings, returns 79,510 EXP for the same allowance, 95% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 20,000 EXP to 79,510 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 298%, so the wrong pick leaves 59,510 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 45 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 137,400 EXP per allowance, 73% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 35 rung behind tops out at 72,600 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 44% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 498 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 5th on EXP, with the best there paying 631 gil.

Red Coral Ring ×1 is a Lv 43 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 2 units of raw material and 15 crystals.

Handing that in returns 20,365 EXP and 249 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
