What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 480,670 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 52 Blacksmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, It's All about Execution, returns 629,850 EXP for the same allowance, 31% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 198,900 EXP to 629,850 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 217%, so the wrong pick leaves 430,950 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Blacksmith tradecraft leve returns 477,930 EXP per allowance, 24% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 456,810 EXP.
At Lv 52 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 337,743 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 868,208 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 177,755 EXP, which puts this leve 42% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 811 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 811 gil.
Mythrite Stilettos ×1 is a Lv 53 Blacksmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 42 units of raw material and 36 crystals.
Handing that in returns 11,445 EXP and 19 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Leatherworker.
