What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 318,720 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 58 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Embroiling Embroidery, returns 427,710 EXP for the same allowance, 34% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 59,338 EXP to 427,710 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 621%, so the wrong pick leaves 368,372 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 376,120 EXP per allowance, 12% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 379,930 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 3% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 1,186 gil per allowance is 2nd of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 1,248 gil.
Griffin Talon Ring of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 59 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 14 units of raw material and 19 crystals.
Handing that in returns 22,766 EXP and 85 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist and Goldsmith.
