What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,009 gil, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 52 battlecraft leves that record gil. The best of them, Quit Loafing Around, returns 1,207 gil for the same allowance, 20% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 550 gil to 1,207 gil per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 119%, so the wrong pick leaves 657 gil of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 battlecraft leve returns 1,332 gil per allowance, 10% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 839 gil.
At Lv 52 this data holds 72 leves paying gil across 3 categories: the 6 Battlecraft ones average 895 gil per allowance, the 18 Fieldcraft ones 694 gil and the 48 Tradecraft ones 459 gil, which puts this leve 13% above its own category's average.
Foundation issues 360 leves in this dataset, Lv 50 through Lv 58, across 12 disciplines.
