What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 5,742 gil works out to 574 gil per allowance, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 52 Miner fieldcraft leves that record gil. The best of them, I'll Show You My Battle Shards, returns 1,062 gil for the same allowance, 85% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 412 gil to 1,062 gil per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 158%, so the wrong pick leaves 650 gil of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Miner fieldcraft leve returns 902 gil per allowance, 15% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 834 gil.
At Lv 52 this data holds 72 leves paying gil across 3 categories: the 18 Fieldcraft ones average 694 gil per allowance, the 6 Battlecraft ones 895 gil and the 48 Tradecraft ones 459 gil, which puts this leve 17% below its own category's average.
