Unbreaker

One allowance here buys 240,180 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 56 Blacksmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Diamond Sawdust, returns 731,480 EXP for the same allowance, 205% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 53,496 EXP to 731,480 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1267%, so the wrong pick leaves 677,984 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 Blacksmith tradecraft leve returns 811,360 EXP per allowance, 11% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 477,930 EXP.

At Lv 56 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 284,330 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 684,949 EXP, which puts this leve 16% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 998 gil per allowance is 2nd of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 1,061 gil.

Titanium Ingot ×1 is a Lv 56 Blacksmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 11 units of raw material and 9 crystals.
