What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 52,220 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 30 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, He Has His Quartz, returns 67,730 EXP for the same allowance, 30% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 25,900 EXP to 67,730 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 162%, so the wrong pick leaves 41,830 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 35 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 72,600 EXP per allowance, 7% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 25 rung behind tops out at 36,390 EXP.
At Lv 30 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 44,832 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 275,323 EXP, which puts this leve 16% above its own category's average.
Silver Choker ×1 is a Lv 31 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 8 units of raw material and 11 crystals.
Handing that in returns 6,528 EXP and 61 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith and Leatherworker.
