What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 379,020 EXP, the best on the Lv 64 Alchemist tradecraft rung — matched exactly by 1 other leve of the 3 there, with the rest trailing at 259,100 EXP or less.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 66 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 625,040 EXP per allowance, 65% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 62 rung behind tops out at 595,710 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 13% below its own category's average.
Commanding Craftsman's Tea ×3 is a Lv 65 Alchemist recipe, a single step, costing 5 units of raw material and 8 crystals.
Handing that in returns 75,804 EXP and 300 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
