What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,708,380 EXP works out to 170,838 EXP per allowance, which places it 4th 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, 82% 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 32% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 406 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 811 gil.
Fermented Butter ×9 is a Lv 53 Culinarian recipe, a single step, costing 15 units of raw material and 21 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 113,892 EXP and 270 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
