Like Lemon on a Lumbercut (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 146,400 EXP works out to 14,640 EXP per allowance, which places it 6th 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, 3132% 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 95% below its own category's average.

Dark Chestnut Lumber ×1 is a Lv 54 Carpenter recipe, a single step, costing 5 units of raw material and 4 crystals.

Handing that in returns 29,280 EXP and 218 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.

The record carries a repeats value of 5. This site reads that as 5 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 878,400 EXP and 6,552 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 87,840 EXP per allowance.
