What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 64,750 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 35 Alchemist tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, The House Always Wins, returns 72,600 EXP for the same allowance, 12% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 38,850 EXP to 72,600 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 87%, so the wrong pick leaves 33,750 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 40 Alchemist tradecraft leve returns 94,280 EXP per allowance, 30% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 30 rung behind tops out at 41,410 EXP.
At Lv 35 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 61,959 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 378,392 EXP, which puts this leve 5% above its own category's average.
Sleeping Potion ×3 is a Lv 36 Alchemist recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 4 units of raw material and 9 crystals.
Handing that in returns 16,188 EXP and 73 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
