What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 4,462,490 EXP works out to 446,249 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 58 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, There Was a Late Fee, returns 811,360 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 42,771 EXP to 811,360 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1797%, so the wrong pick leaves 768,589 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 812,920 EXP per allowance, 0% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 534,960 EXP.
At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 327,945 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 716,251 EXP, which puts this leve 36% above its own category's average.
Noble Gold ×3 is a Lv 60 Alchemist recipe, 3 steps deep through 7 intermediates, costing 147 units of raw material and 153 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 30,357 EXP and 42 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist and Goldsmith.
