What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 796,560 EXP works out to 79,656 EXP per allowance, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 54 Blacksmith Grand Company leves that record EXP. The best of them, Tensions in Creasing (L), returns 260,272 EXP for the same allowance, 227% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 56 Blacksmith Grand Company leve returns 402,314 EXP per allowance, 55% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 52 rung behind tops out at 346,420 EXP.
At Lv 54 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 27 Grand Company ones average 205,186 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 938,680 EXP and the 24 Tradecraft ones 400,590 EXP, which puts this leve 61% below its own category's average.
Titanium-barreled Arquebus ×1 is a Lv 54 Blacksmith recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 47 units of raw material and 40 crystals.
Handing that in returns 16,948 EXP and 23 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Carpenter.
The record carries a repeats value of 5. This site reads that as 5 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 4,779,360 EXP and 6,552 gil for the 10 allowances it costs, or 477,936 EXP per allowance.
