What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 2,352,440 EXP works out to 235,244 EXP per allowance, which places it 4th 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, 82% 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 28% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 624 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 1,248 gil.
Griffin Talon Needle ×3 is a Lv 60 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 45 units of raw material and 54 crystals over 3 crafts.
Handing that in returns 52,276 EXP and 139 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith, Carpenter and Goldsmith.
