What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 331,500 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 52 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Steeling the Knife, Steeling the Mind, returns 480,670 EXP for the same allowance, 45% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 154,140 EXP to 480,670 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 212%, so the wrong pick leaves 326,530 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 647,060 EXP per allowance, 35% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 334,080 EXP.
At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 337,743 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 868,208 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 177,755 EXP, which puts this leve 2% below its own category's average.
Wyvernskin Grimoire ×1 is a Lv 52 Alchemist recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 24 units of raw material and 21 crystals.
Handing that in returns 13,813 EXP and 31 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Leatherworker.
