What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 272,720 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 50 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Summoning for Dummies, returns 334,080 EXP for the same allowance, 22% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 200,450 EXP to 334,080 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 67%, so the wrong pick leaves 133,630 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 480,670 EXP per allowance, 44% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 106,480 EXP.
At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 238,216 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 834,862 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 132,961 EXP, which puts this leve 14% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 624 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 624 gil.
Enchanted Mythrite Ink ×1 is a Lv 51 Alchemist recipe, a single step, costing 6 units of raw material and 3 crystals.
Handing that in returns 45,453 EXP and 104 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
