The Wyvern of It (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 2,643,720 EXP works out to 264,372 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 52 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Maybe He's a Lion, returns 480,670 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 25,691 EXP to 480,670 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1771%, so the wrong pick leaves 454,979 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 560,140 EXP per allowance, 17% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 334,080 EXP.

At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 251,119 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 576,023 EXP, which puts this leve 5% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 406 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 811 gil.

Wyvernskin Mane of Fending ×3 is a Lv 53 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 60 units of raw material and 87 crystals over 3 crafts.

Handing that in returns 44,062 EXP and 68 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
