I'm a Lumberjack and I'm Okay (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 4,023,140 EXP works out to 402,314 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd 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, 82% 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 41% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 530 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 1,061 gil.

Titanium Battleaxe ×3 is a Lv 57 Blacksmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 7 intermediates, costing 189 units of raw material and 210 crystals over 3 crafts.

Handing that in returns 21,286 EXP and 28 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Carpenter.
