One allowance here buys 36,390 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 25 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Daddy's Little Girl, returns 47,200 EXP for the same allowance, 30% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 8,660 EXP to 47,200 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 445%, so the wrong pick leaves 38,540 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 30 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 67,730 EXP per allowance, 43% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 20 rung behind tops out at 28,010 EXP.

At Lv 25 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 31,772 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 204,269 EXP, which puts this leve 15% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 388 gil per allowance is 1st of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 388 gil.

Steel Spear ×1 is a Lv 30 Carpenter recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 8 units of raw material and 12 crystals.

Handing that in returns 4,549 EXP and 49 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Carpenter.
