I really don't understand crafting.

Just so you know, triple leves are the best in "xp gain per leve allowance" cost but are most costly in "materials cost for xp gain" and also in crafting time.

I found it way more cheaper and faster to do single leves most of the time. Alchemist is the best craft to do the triples.

just as an example lv 40 quest average in town :

- 1 quest single turn in xp gain = 41K (HQ 82K)
- 1 Quest triple turn in xp gain = 3*23K (HQ 138K)
- 1 Quest single turn in with travel to coerthas xp gain = 64K(HQ 128K)

Assuming you only return HQ. If you look for the same quantity of work

- 9 Objects for 9 leves : you gain 369K xp and about 5000gil
- 9 Objects for 1 leve : you gain 138K xp and about 1600gil
- 9 Objects for 9 leves : you gain 1152xp and about 7200gil (but with travel you probably spent around 2000gil)
