What the allowance actually buys
At 10 allowances a run, this leve's 1,769,210 EXP works out to 176,921 EXP per allowance, which places it 5th of the 6 Lv 58 Blacksmith tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Winter Weather Conditions, returns 811,360 EXP for the same allowance, 359% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 102,934 EXP to 811,360 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 688%, so the wrong pick leaves 708,426 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Blacksmith tradecraft leve returns 703,720 EXP per allowance, 13% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 731,480 EXP.
At Lv 58 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 327,945 EXP per allowance, the 6 Fieldcraft ones 716,251 EXP, which puts this leve 46% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 562 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 5th on EXP, with the best there paying 1,248 gil.
Adamantite Nugget ×5 is a Lv 58 Blacksmith recipe, a single step, costing 30 units of raw material and 25 crystals over 5 crafts.
Handing that in returns 58,974 EXP and 187 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
