What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 823,531 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 68 Fisher fieldcraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Blood in the Water, returns 1,372,551 EXP for the same allowance, 67% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 70 Fisher fieldcraft leve returns 1,503,258 EXP per allowance, 10% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 66 rung behind tops out at 1,334,289 EXP.
At Lv 68 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 3 Fieldcraft ones average 1,189,544 EXP per allowance, the 24 Tradecraft ones 550,185 EXP, which puts this leve 31% below its own category's average.
Nothing on the turn-in list is craftable in this data: Koromo Octopus ×3 has no recipe here, so 3 units must come from gathering, a vendor or a drop.
The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 2,470,593 EXP and 1,854 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 2,470,593 EXP per allowance.
