What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 2,239,400 EXP works out to 223,940 EXP per allowance, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 54 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, The Darkest Hearth, returns 473,220 EXP for the same allowance, 111% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 14,640 EXP to 473,220 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 3132%, so the wrong pick leaves 458,580 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 656,800 EXP per allowance, 39% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 423,990 EXP.
At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 296,533 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 622,778 EXP, which puts this leve 24% below its own category's average.
Dark Chestnut Rod ×3 is a Lv 54 Carpenter recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 81 units of raw material and 69 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 27,647 EXP and 54 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist and Carpenter.
