Darkly Dreaming Dexterity (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 731,480 EXP works out to 73,148 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 56 Alchemist Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Scripture Is the Best Medicine (L), returns 294,229 EXP for the same allowance, 302% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 73,148 EXP to 294,229 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 302%, so the wrong pick leaves 221,081 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 58 Alchemist Grand Company leve returns 446,249 EXP per allowance, 52% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 54 rung behind tops out at 485,295 EXP.

At Lv 56 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 27 Grand Company ones average 195,640 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,032,386 EXP and the 24 Tradecraft ones 390,755 EXP, which puts this leve 63% below its own category's average.

Draconian Potion of Dexterity ×3 is a Lv 58 Alchemist recipe, a single step, costing 8 units of raw material and 3 crystals.

Handing that in returns 91,435 EXP and 176 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 4,388,880 EXP and 8,424 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 438,888 EXP per allowance.
