As the Bolt Flies

One allowance here buys 212,460 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 54 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Someone Put Dung in My Helmet, returns 473,220 EXP for the same allowance, 123% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 212,460 EXP to 473,220 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 123%, so the wrong pick leaves 260,760 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 534,960 EXP per allowance, 13% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 555,260 EXP.

At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 400,590 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 938,680 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 205,186 EXP, which puts this leve 47% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 874 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 874 gil.

Titanium Nugget ×1 is a Lv 54 Blacksmith recipe, a single step, costing 7 units of raw material and 4 crystals.
