What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 4,183,380 EXP, the best of the 2 Lv 98 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 3,459,540 EXP, 17% less.
Nothing above Lv 98 is recorded for Goldsmith tradecraft leves, so this rung is the ceiling at 4,183,380 EXP per allowance — 37% more 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% above its own category's average.
Ra'Kaznar Rod ×1 is a Lv 98 Goldsmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 35 units of raw material and 80 crystals.
Handing that in returns 119,525 EXP and 148 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith, Carpenter and Goldsmith.
