Watchers within the Walls (L)

At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,646,610 EXP works out to 164,661 EXP per allowance, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 54 Goldsmith Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Life Ends at Retirement (L), returns 355,883 EXP for the same allowance, 116% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 47,322 EXP to 355,883 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 652%, so the wrong pick leaves 308,561 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Goldsmith Grand Company leve returns 180,139 EXP per allowance, 49% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 346,420 EXP.
