What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,593,490 EXP works out to 159,349 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 54 Armorer Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Rage against the Scream (L), returns 260,272 EXP for the same allowance, 63% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 56,014 EXP to 260,272 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 365%, so the wrong pick leaves 204,258 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Armorer Grand Company leve returns 294,229 EXP per allowance, 13% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 305,396 EXP.
At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 27 Grand Company ones average 205,186 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 938,680 EXP and the 24 Tradecraft ones 400,590 EXP, which puts this leve 22% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 437 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 437 gil.
Titanium Nugget ×5 is a Lv 54 Blacksmith recipe, a single step, costing 35 units of raw material and 20 crystals over 5 crafts.
Handing that in returns 45,528 EXP and 125 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
