What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 2,257,300 EXP, the best of the 2 Lv 88 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 1,703,250 EXP, 25% less.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 90 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 1,440,660 EXP per allowance, 36% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 86 rung behind tops out at 1,503,270 EXP.
At Lv 88 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 1,852,163 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 3,242,290 EXP, which puts this leve 22% above its own category's average.
Chondrite Top of Maiming ×1 is a Lv 89 Armorer recipe, 2 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 33 units of raw material and 64 crystals.
Handing that in returns 68,403 EXP and 153 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith and Weaver.
