Glorified Hole-punchers

One allowance here buys 200,450 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 50 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, From Mud to Mourning, returns 334,080 EXP for the same allowance, 67% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 200,450 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 67%, so the wrong pick leaves 133,630 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 480,670 EXP per allowance, 44% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 137,400 EXP.

At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 238,216 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 834,862 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 132,961 EXP, which puts this leve 16% below its own category's average.

Archaeoskin Gloves of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 51 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 21 units of raw material and 28 crystals.

Handing that in returns 9,545 EXP and 11 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.

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 601,350 EXP and 675 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 601,350 EXP per allowance.
