What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 283,930 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 54 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Overall, We Blend In, returns 560,140 EXP for the same allowance, 97% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 283,930 EXP to 560,140 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 97%, so the wrong pick leaves 276,210 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 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 400,590 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 938,680 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 205,186 EXP, which puts this leve 29% below its own category's average.
Dhalmelskin Breeches of Maiming ×1 is a Lv 55 Leatherworker recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 23 units of raw material and 29 crystals.
Handing that in returns 12,345 EXP and 15 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs 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 851,790 EXP and 1,014 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 851,790 EXP per allowance.
