What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 427,710 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 58 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 356,020 EXP, 17% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 318,720 EXP to 427,710 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 34%, so the wrong pick leaves 108,990 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 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 443,090 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,079,567 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 228,371 EXP, which puts this leve 3% below its own category's average.
Griffin Talon Needle ×1 is a Lv 60 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 15 units of raw material and 18 crystals.
Handing that in returns 28,514 EXP and 83 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith, Carpenter and Goldsmith.
