What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 63,890 EXP, which places it 5th 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, 115% 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 35% below its own category's average.
Amber Choker ×1 is a Lv 45 Goldsmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 26 crystals.
Handing that in returns 7,099 EXP and 40 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 191,670 EXP and 1,080 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 191,670 EXP per allowance.
