What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,067,020 EXP, the best of the 2 Lv 84 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 933,280 EXP, 13% less.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 86 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 2,028,020 EXP per allowance, 90% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 82 rung behind tops out at 1,525,130 EXP.
At Lv 84 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 1,208,414 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 2,702,320 EXP, which puts this leve 12% below its own category's average.
Phrygian Ear Cuffs of Healing ×1 is a Lv 85 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 23 units of raw material and 47 crystals.
Handing that in returns 46,392 EXP and 216 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
