Aim to Please

One allowance here buys 320,970 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 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 53,496 EXP to 656,800 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1128%, so the wrong pick leaves 603,304 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 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 284,330 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 684,949 EXP, which puts this leve 13% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 361 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 1,123 gil.

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.
