What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 54,240 EXP, which places it 6th of the 6 Lv 45 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Comfort Me with Mushrooms, returns 126,270 EXP for the same allowance, 133% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 54,240 EXP to 126,270 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 133%, so the wrong pick leaves 72,030 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 50 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 343,900 EXP per allowance, 172% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 40 rung behind tops out at 96,130 EXP.
At Lv 45 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 98,250 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 733,026 EXP, which puts this leve 45% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 215 gil per allowance is 5th of 6 on the same rung against 6th on EXP, with the best there paying 559 gil.
Rolanberry Lassi ×3 is a Lv 45 Culinarian recipe, a single step, costing 4 units of raw material and 11 crystals.
Handing that in returns 13,560 EXP and 54 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
