Recipe for Disaster (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 355,360 EXP works out to 35,536 EXP per allowance, which places it 6th 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, 774% 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 86% below its own category's average.

Dhalmel Gratin ×3 is a Lv 54 Culinarian recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 14 units of raw material and 21 crystals.

Handing that in returns 25,383 EXP and 78 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 2,132,160 EXP and 6,552 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 213,216 EXP per allowance.
