What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,395,490 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 2 Lv 88 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Planisphere to Paper, returns 2,297,800 EXP for the same allowance, 65% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 90 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 2,695,430 EXP per allowance, 17% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 86 rung behind tops out at 2,028,020 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 25% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 5,040 gil per allowance is 1st of 2 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 5,040 gil.
Star Quartz Wristband of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 89 Goldsmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 24 units of raw material and 56 crystals.
Handing that in returns 58,145 EXP and 210 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
