What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,837,480 EXP works out to 183,748 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 50 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, So You Think You Can Lance?, returns 334,080 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 24,081 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1287%, so the wrong pick leaves 309,999 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 423,990 EXP per allowance, 27% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 168,310 EXP.
At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 176,840 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 553,899 EXP, which puts this leve 4% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 343 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 686 gil.
Mythrite Trident ×3 is a Lv 51 Carpenter recipe, 2 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 78 units of raw material and 60 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 23,557 EXP and 44 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Carpenter and Leatherworker.
