Alembic Medals

One allowance here buys 485,320 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 60 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Mail It In, returns 594,520 EXP for the same allowance, 23% more.

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 17% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 2,496 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 2,496 gil.

High Steel Thermal Alembic ×1 is a Lv 61 Armorer recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 20 units of raw material and 17 crystals.

Handing that in returns 24,266 EXP and 125 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Armorer, Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
