What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 387,820 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 3 Lv 74 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Hunting Season, returns 937,250 EXP for the same allowance, 142% more.
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 25% below its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 1,567 gil per allowance is 3rd of 3 on the same rung against 2nd on EXP, with the best there paying 4,339 gil.
Pixie Cotton Sleeves of Crafting ×1 is a Lv 74 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 17 units of raw material and 37 crystals.
Handing that in returns 22,813 EXP and 92 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith and Weaver.
