What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 274,810 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 52 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Such a Butter Face, returns 310,610 EXP for the same allowance, 13% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 35,536 EXP to 310,610 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 774%, so the wrong pick leaves 275,074 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 459,310 EXP per allowance, 48% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 343,900 EXP.
At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 251,119 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 576,023 EXP, which puts this leve 9% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 811 gil per allowance is 1st of 6 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 811 gil.
