What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 473,220 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 54 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Overall, We Blend In, returns 560,140 EXP for the same allowance, 18% more.
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 60% above its own category's average.
Dhalmelskin Leggings of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 55 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 6 intermediates, costing 23 units of raw material and 27 crystals.
Handing that in returns 20,575 EXP and 41 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
