What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 3,263,600 EXP works out to 326,360 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 58 Armorer Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Men in Adamantite (L), returns 446,249 EXP for the same allowance, 37% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 15,742 EXP to 446,249 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 2,735%, so the wrong pick leaves 430,507 EXP of the allowance unspent.
Nothing above Lv 58 is recorded for Armorer Grand Company leves, so this rung is the ceiling at 446,249 EXP per allowance — 52% more than the Lv 56 rung below it.
At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 27 Grand Company ones average 228,371 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,079,567 EXP and the 24 Tradecraft ones 443,090 EXP, which puts this leve 43% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 624 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 624 gil.
Adamantite Leg Guards of Maiming ×3 is a Lv 60 Armorer recipe, 2 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 87 units of raw material and 81 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 37,513 EXP and 72 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith, Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
