What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,089,875 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 74 Fisher fieldcraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Faerie Fish, returns 1,816,458 EXP for the same allowance, 67% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 76 Fisher fieldcraft leve returns 2,091,086 EXP per allowance, 15% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 72 rung behind tops out at 1,621,544 EXP.
At Lv 74 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 3 Fieldcraft ones average 1,574,264 EXP per allowance, the 24 Tradecraft ones 514,135 EXP, which puts this leve 31% below its own category's average.
Nothing on the turn-in list is craftable in this data: Cherry Herring ×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 3,269,625 EXP and 2,145 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 3,269,625 EXP per allowance.
