What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 459,720 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 66 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 436,760 EXP, 5% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 275,830 EXP to 459,720 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 67%, so the wrong pick leaves 183,890 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 68 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 466,220 EXP per allowance, 1% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 64 rung behind tops out at 326,200 EXP.
At Lv 66 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 510,818 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,156,384 EXP, which puts this leve 10% below its own category's average.
Persimmon Pudding ×3 is a Lv 67 Culinarian recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 14 units of raw material and 23 crystals.
Handing that in returns 32,837 EXP and 174 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
