What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 258,670 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 74 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, One Last Meal, returns 419,490 EXP for the same allowance, 62% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 258,670 EXP to 419,490 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 62%, so the wrong pick leaves 160,820 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 76 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 689,550 EXP per allowance, 64% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 72 rung behind tops out at 713,410 EXP.
At Lv 74 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 514,135 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,574,264 EXP, which puts this leve 50% below its own category's average.
Blood Tomato Juice ×3 is a Lv 74 Culinarian recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 9 units of raw material and 20 crystals.
Handing that in returns 28,741 EXP and 131 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
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 776,010 EXP and 3,525 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 776,010 EXP per allowance.
