What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 2,268,950 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 2 Lv 96 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Something Salty and Ceremonial, returns 4,125,360 EXP for the same allowance, 82% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 98 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 4,183,380 EXP per allowance, 1% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 94 rung behind tops out at 3,559,400 EXP.
At Lv 96 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 3,345,087 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 6,726,582 EXP, which puts this leve 32% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 5,140 gil per allowance is 1st of 2 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 5,140 gil.
Cunning Craftsman's Tisane ×3 is a Lv 97 Alchemist recipe, a single step, costing 8 units of raw material and 16 crystals.
Handing that in returns 283,619 EXP and 643 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
