What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,256,820 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 76 Blacksmith tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 919,160 EXP, 27% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 450,200 EXP to 1,256,820 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 179%, so the wrong pick leaves 806,620 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 78 Blacksmith tradecraft leve returns 1,103,750 EXP per allowance, 12% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 74 rung behind tops out at 646,380 EXP.
At Lv 76 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 754,791 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,812,275 EXP, which puts this leve 67% above its own category's average.
Titanbronze Chakrams ×1 is a Lv 76 Blacksmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 34 units of raw material and 59 crystals.
Handing that in returns 36,965 EXP and 135 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
