What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 8,930 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 10 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Using Your Arcane Powers for Fun and Profit, returns 12,030 EXP for the same allowance, 35% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 6,880 EXP to 12,030 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 75%, so the wrong pick leaves 5,150 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 15 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 22,790 EXP per allowance, 89% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 5 rung behind tops out at 6,280 EXP.
At Lv 10 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 8,265 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 43,676 EXP, which puts this leve 8% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 284 gil per allowance is 1st of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 284 gil.
Growth Formula Beta ×1 is a Lv 15 Alchemist recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 4 units of raw material and 2 crystals.
Handing that in returns 2,233 EXP and 71 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
