What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 211,350 EXP, the best on the Lv 50 Weaver tradecraft rung — matched exactly by 1 other leve of the 3 there, with the rest trailing at 163,630 EXP or less.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 52 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 480,670 EXP per allowance, 127% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 45 rung behind tops out at 199,230 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 11% below its own category's average.
Rainbow Slops of Aiming ×1 is a Lv 51 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 28 units of raw material and 20 crystals.
Handing that in returns 7,548 EXP and 22 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.
