One allowance here buys 198,900 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 52 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, What Not to Wear, returns 480,670 EXP for the same allowance, 142% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 198,900 EXP to 480,670 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 142%, so the wrong pick leaves 281,770 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 54 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 560,140 EXP per allowance, 17% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 50 rung behind tops out at 211,350 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 41% below its own category's average.

Holy Rainbow Shoes ×1 is a Lv 54 Weaver recipe, 4 steps deep through 7 intermediates, costing 32 units of raw material and 31 crystals.

Handing that in returns 6,216 EXP and 10 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Weaver.

The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 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 596,700 EXP and 945 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 596,700 EXP per allowance.
