What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,162,470 EXP works out to 116,247 EXP per allowance, which places it 5th of the 6 Lv 50 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, From Mud to Mourning, returns 334,080 EXP for the same allowance, 187% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 33,408 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 900%, so the wrong pick leaves 300,672 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 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 176,840 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 553,899 EXP, which puts this leve 34% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 312 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 5th on EXP, with the best there paying 749 gil.
Archaeoskin Breeches of Maiming ×3 is a Lv 51 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 72 units of raw material and 57 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 16,145 EXP and 43 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.
