Getting a Leg Up

One allowance here buys 357,430 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 62 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Duress Rehearsal, returns 376,880 EXP for the same allowance, 5% more.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 64 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 929,220 EXP per allowance, 147% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 60 rung behind tops out at 703,720 EXP.

At Lv 62 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 417,590 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,118,055 EXP, which puts this leve 14% below its own category's average.

Ruby Cotton Gaskins of Striking ×1 is a Lv 63 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 25 units of raw material and 23 crystals.

Handing that in returns 14,297 EXP and 40 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Blacksmith, Leatherworker 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 1,072,290 EXP and 2,973 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 1,072,290 EXP per allowance.
