What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 937,250 EXP, the best of the 3 Lv 74 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP: the runner-up manages 387,820 EXP, 59% less.
Across that rung the return runs from 210,060 EXP to 937,250 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 346%, so the wrong pick leaves 727,190 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 76 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 1,425,640 EXP per allowance, 52% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 72 rung behind tops out at 826,240 EXP.
At Lv 74 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 514,135 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,574,264 EXP, which puts this leve 82% above its own category's average.
Pixie Cotton Hat of Striking ×1 is a Lv 74 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 24 units of raw material and 41 crystals.
Handing that in returns 39,052 EXP and 181 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Leatherworker and Weaver.
