What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 702,370 EXP works out to 70,237 EXP per allowance, which places it 6th of the 6 Lv 58 Leatherworker tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Starting Off on the Wrong Foot, returns 593,380 EXP for the same allowance, 745% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 70,237 EXP to 593,380 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 745%, so the wrong pick leaves 523,143 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Leatherworker tradecraft leve returns 703,720 EXP per allowance, 19% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 534,960 EXP.
At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 327,945 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 716,251 EXP, which puts this leve 79% below its own category's average.
Serpentskin Thighboots of Casting ×1 is a Lv 59 Leatherworker recipe, 4 steps deep through 10 intermediates, costing 38 units of raw material and 50 crystals.
Handing that in returns 18,483 EXP and 39 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Leatherworker and Weaver.
The record carries a repeats value of 5. This site reads that as 5 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 4,214,220 EXP and 8,892 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 421,422 EXP per allowance.
