What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 594,520 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 60 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 485,320 EXP, 18% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 356,710 EXP to 594,520 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 67%, so the wrong pick leaves 237,810 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 62 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 595,710 EXP per allowance, 0% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 58 rung behind tops out at 811,360 EXP.
At Lv 60 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 415,953 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,098,783 EXP, which puts this leve 43% above its own category's average.
High Steel Scale Mail of Fending ×1 is a Lv 61 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 23 units of raw material and 20 crystals.
Handing that in returns 25,849 EXP and 109 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Armorer, Blacksmith, Goldsmith and Weaver.
