What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 436,700 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 56 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, A Halonic Masquerade, returns 534,960 EXP for the same allowance, 23% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 53,496 EXP to 534,960 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 900%, so the wrong pick leaves 481,464 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 811,360 EXP per allowance, 52% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 473,220 EXP.
At Lv 56 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 284,330 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 684,949 EXP, which puts this leve 54% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 998 gil per allowance is 1st of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 998 gil.
Titanium Hoplon ×1 is a Lv 57 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 6 intermediates, costing 49 units of raw material and 58 crystals.
Handing that in returns 8,912 EXP and 20 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith and Carpenter.
