Souper

One allowance here buys 274,940 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 64 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, A Shorlonging for the Familiar, returns 326,200 EXP for the same allowance, 19% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 251,370 EXP to 326,200 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 30%, so the wrong pick leaves 74,830 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 66 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 459,720 EXP per allowance, 41% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 62 rung behind tops out at 416,270 EXP.

At Lv 64 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 435,661 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,139,405 EXP, which puts this leve 37% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 811 gil per allowance is 3rd of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 2,246 gil.

Gameni ×3 is a Lv 65 Culinarian recipe, a single step, costing 6 units of raw material and 8 crystals.
