What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 560,140 EXP, the best of the 6 Lv 54 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 473,220 EXP, 16% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 47,322 EXP to 560,140 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1084%, so the wrong pick leaves 512,818 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 534,960 EXP per allowance, 4% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 480,670 EXP.
At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 296,533 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 622,778 EXP, which puts this leve 89% above its own category's average.
Dhalmelskin Vest ×1 is a Lv 56 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 31 units of raw material and 33 crystals.
Handing that in returns 18,069 EXP and 32 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
