Spears for Stone Vigilantes (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 702,370 EXP works out to 70,237 EXP per allowance, which places it 6th 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, 590% 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 79% below its own category's average.

Adamantite Spear ×1 is a Lv 58 Carpenter recipe, 2 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 34 units of raw material and 39 crystals.

Handing that in returns 20,658 EXP and 41 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Carpenter, Goldsmith and Leatherworker.

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 4,214,220 EXP and 8,424 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 421,422 EXP per allowance.
