What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 698,030 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 72 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 374,930 EXP, 46% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 301,890 EXP to 698,030 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 131%, so the wrong pick leaves 396,140 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 74 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 937,250 EXP per allowance, 34% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 70 rung behind tops out at 693,190 EXP.
At Lv 72 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 590,811 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,405,338 EXP, which puts this leve 18% above its own category's average.
Gliderskin Grimoire ×1 is a Lv 72 Alchemist recipe, 2 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 24 units of raw material and 41 crystals.
Handing that in returns 29,085 EXP and 170 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
