What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 275,170 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 50 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, The Next to Last Supper, returns 343,900 EXP for the same allowance, 25% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 24,326 EXP to 343,900 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1314%, so the wrong pick leaves 319,574 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 310,610 EXP per allowance, 10% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 126,270 EXP.
At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 176,840 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 553,899 EXP, which puts this leve 56% above its own category's average.
Fig Bavarois ×3 is a Lv 51 Culinarian recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 8 units of raw material and 8 crystals.
Handing that in returns 34,396 EXP and 86 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
