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 5th of the 6 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, 197% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 56,014 EXP to 473,220 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 745%, so the wrong pick leaves 417,206 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 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 296,533 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 622,778 EXP, which puts this leve 46% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 437 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 5th on EXP, with the best there paying 874 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.
