What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 831,370 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 76 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, A Greater Grimoire, returns 1,087,990 EXP for the same allowance, 31% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 498,820 EXP to 1,087,990 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 118%, so the wrong pick leaves 589,170 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 78 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 1,201,060 EXP per allowance, 10% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 74 rung behind tops out at 937,250 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 10% above its own category's average.
Growth Formula Kappa ×1 is a Lv 76 Alchemist recipe, a single step, costing 5 units of raw material and 7 crystals.
Handing that in returns 166,274 EXP and 688 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
