Pan That Laid the Golden Egg

One allowance here buys 243,650 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 52 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Let Faith Light the Way, returns 555,260 EXP for the same allowance, 128% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 40,608 EXP to 555,260 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1267%, so the wrong pick leaves 514,652 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 473,220 EXP per allowance, 15% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 211,350 EXP.

At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 251,119 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 576,023 EXP, which puts this leve 3% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 270 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 811 gil.

Frypan Caliente ×1 is a Lv 52 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 29 units of raw material and 24 crystals.

Handing that in returns 8,402 EXP and 9 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Armorer, Blacksmith and Carpenter.
