Pulling Them to the Grind (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 2,664,150 EXP works out to 266,415 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 58 Carpenter tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Anatomy of a Drill Bit, returns 484,390 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 70,237 EXP to 484,390 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 590%, so the wrong pick leaves 414,153 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Carpenter tradecraft leve returns 812,920 EXP per allowance, 68% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 656,800 EXP.

At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 327,945 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 716,251 EXP, which puts this leve 19% below its own category's average.

Dragonscale Grinding Wheel ×3 is a Lv 59 Carpenter recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 54 units of raw material and 75 crystals over 3 crafts.

Handing that in returns 49,336 EXP and 110 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Carpenter and Goldsmith.
