What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 514,250 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 2 Lv 80 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Awarding Academic Excellence, returns 724,620 EXP for the same allowance, 41% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 82 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 1,525,130 EXP per allowance, 110% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 78 rung behind tops out at 1,103,750 EXP.
At Lv 80 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 854,332 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 2,459,716 EXP, which puts this leve 40% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 2,450 gil per allowance is 1st of 2 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 2,450 gil.
Ametrine Ring of Fending ×1 is a Lv 81 Goldsmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 13 units of raw material and 39 crystals.
Handing that in returns 39,558 EXP and 188 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
