What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 3,459,540 EXP — the identical figure every one of the 2 Lv 98 Armorer tradecraft leves pays, so on this rung the turn-in and the walk are the only things that actually differ.
Nothing above Lv 98 is recorded for Armorer tradecraft leves, so this rung is the ceiling at 3,459,540 EXP per allowance — 24% less than the Lv 96 rung below it.
At Lv 98 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 3,821,346 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 7,606,049 EXP, which puts this leve 9% below its own category's average.
Ra'Kaznar Greaves of Maiming ×1 is a Lv 99 Armorer recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 30 units of raw material and 64 crystals.
Handing that in returns 115,318 EXP and 173 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith and Goldsmith.
