What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 243,260 EXP works out to 24,326 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 50 Culinarian Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Nostalgia through the Stomach (L), returns 189,149 EXP for the same allowance, 678% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 24,326 EXP to 189,149 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 678%, so the wrong pick leaves 164,823 EXP of the allowance unspent.
Lv 50 is the lowest rung this data records for Culinarian Grand Company leves, and the next one, Lv 52, tops out at 170,838 EXP per allowance — 10% less than the best available here.
At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 27 Grand Company ones average 132,961 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 834,862 EXP and the 24 Tradecraft ones 238,216 EXP, which puts this leve 82% below its own category's average.
Baked Onion Soup ×3 is a Lv 52 Culinarian recipe, 3 steps deep through 6 intermediates, costing 19 units of raw material and 24 crystals.
Handing that in returns 12,803 EXP and 49 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
The record carries a repeats value of 5. This site reads that as 5 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 1,459,560 EXP and 5,616 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 145,956 EXP per allowance.
