Marl-ementary Procedure

One allowance here buys 958 gil, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 56 battlecraft leves that record gil. The best of them, Two Birds, One Culling, returns 1,504 gil for the same allowance, 57% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 958 gil to 1,504 gil per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 57%, so the wrong pick leaves 546 gil of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 battlecraft leve returns 1,610 gil per allowance, 7% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 1,332 gil.

At Lv 56 this data holds 72 leves paying gil across 4 categories: the 3 Battlecraft ones average 1,296 gil per allowance, the 9 Fieldcraft ones 1,032 gil and the 24 Tradecraft ones 810 gil, which puts this leve 26% below its own category's average.
