What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 88,620 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 50 Armorer tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Hauberk and No Play, returns 211,350 EXP for the same allowance, 138% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 88,620 EXP to 211,350 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 138%, so the wrong pick leaves 122,730 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Armorer tradecraft leve returns 555,260 EXP per allowance, 163% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 152,230 EXP.
At Lv 50 this data holds 54 leves paying EXP across 3 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 238,216 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 834,862 EXP and the 27 Grand Company ones 132,961 EXP, which puts this leve 63% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 686 gil per allowance is 1st of 3 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 686 gil.
Mythrite Rivets ×1 is a Lv 51 Blacksmith recipe, 2 steps deep through 1 intermediate, costing 6 units of raw material and 6 crystals.
Handing that in returns 14,770 EXP and 114 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
