crafting levequest reward mistake?

[Crimson-Falcon]

levequest lv20 ask for 5 leathers and give few exp while lv15 ask for the same kind of leathers but
3 and give more exp

[Greytarkis]

i get 19000 xp frm lv15 quest giving all hq

while the other i get around 15300 giving 5 hq

so lv15 is better

yeah but you're supposed to be able to give 3x5 leathers and have 3x15k XP (+items)

either way lv15 better

[Greytarkis]

either way lv15 better

wait I don't follow, how is 20kXP (1 allowance) better than 45k (1 allowance) ?

Or are you saying you'd rather use more allowances and less items ?

i use allowances and less items

i have 100 allowances saved for crafting and gathering

While its true that in the level 20 levequest you're using more items for less experience and gil (per item traded in), leve allowances are a more valuable commodity than Aldgoat skins and alumen (which you can get easily for free).

1 leve allowance for 19k exp + 798 gil or 1 leve allowance for 45k exp + 2232 gil. Its clear that the level 20 levequest is better.

The 20 1 is way better esp if you wanna use leve's for multiple crafts you need to save as many as you can tbh.

[Conradus]

either way lv15 better

No. The level 20, if you turn it three times, you get 15219 XP for one leve allowance, while the level 15 can only be done once and gives you only 6341 XP for one leve allowance. (triple both figures if you turn in HQ) You only get six leve allowances a day, and a lot of people grinding XP are looking to conserve them. For those people, the 20 is the better deal.

There are a bunch of craft quests like this, really nice for them to have 3x turn-in on 1 leve allowance.

Where can you tell that it lets you turn in the level 20 leve three times as one allowance??

Honestly I have a lot of leves saved up because I haven't needed to really use them to level anything but miner and grand company stuff. He showed a full screen of that leve information and it doesn't say anywhere on there that you can turn those 5 pieces of leather in 3 times on the same leve. Is there any way to know from reading the description?

In regards to his real question, about why the reward is higher for the level 15 quest, I think it's because in the level 20 quest you give your leather to Maisenta. She is located right in Gridania, less than a full sprint away from where you most likely accepted that levequest. The level 15 one is turned in to an NPC located in a different town in the Shroud. I think they compensate you better for having to travel. That's what I've noticed anyway.
