What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 106,480 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 6 Lv 45 Goldsmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Gold Is So Last Year, returns 137,400 EXP for the same allowance, 29% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 45,340 EXP to 137,400 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 203%, so the wrong pick leaves 92,060 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 50 Goldsmith tradecraft leve returns 334,080 EXP per allowance, 143% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 40 rung behind tops out at 79,510 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 8% above its own category's average.
Tourmaline Choker ×1 is a Lv 48 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 27 crystals.
Handing that in returns 11,831 EXP and 84 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
