What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 343,900 EXP, the best of the 6 Lv 50 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 275,170 EXP, 20% less.
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 94% above its own category's average.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls ×3 is a Lv 52 Culinarian recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 12 units of raw material and 10 crystals.
Handing that in returns 28,658 EXP and 62 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
