Aim to Please

One allowance here buys 320,970 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 56 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Don't Ask Wyvern, returns 656,800 EXP for the same allowance, 105% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 320,970 EXP to 656,800 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 105%, so the wrong pick leaves 335,830 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 484,390 EXP per allowance, 26% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 473,220 EXP.

At Lv 56 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 390,755 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,032,386 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 195,640 EXP, which puts this leve 18% below its own category's average.

Hallowed Chestnut Mask of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 56 Carpenter recipe, 3 steps deep through 8 intermediates, costing 34 units of raw material and 45 crystals.

Handing that in returns 9,440 EXP and 11 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Carpenter and Goldsmith.

The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 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 962,910 EXP and 1,083 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 962,910 EXP per allowance.
