What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 18,910 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 15 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Bad to the Bone, returns 24,790 EXP for the same allowance, 31% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 10,100 EXP to 24,790 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 145%, so the wrong pick leaves 14,690 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 20 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 21,600 EXP per allowance, 13% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 10 rung behind tops out at 9,990 EXP.
At Lv 15 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 16,554 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 78,432 EXP, which puts this leve 14% above its own category's average.
Brass Wristlets of Crafting ×1 is a Lv 16 Goldsmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 7 crystals.
Handing that in returns 2,101 EXP and 27 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
