What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 593,380 EXP, the best of the 6 Lv 58 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 453,870 EXP, 24% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 48,439 EXP to 593,380 EXP per allowance — 6 distinct figures spanning 1125%, so the wrong pick leaves 544,941 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 60 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 703,720 EXP per allowance, 19% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 56 rung behind tops out at 438,880 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 81% above its own category's average.
Chimerical Felt Trousers ×1 is a Lv 60 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 34 units of raw material and 34 crystals.
Handing that in returns 17,452 EXP and 37 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Leatherworker and Weaver.
