Healing Headwear

One allowance here buys 598,990 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 78 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, A Job Well Done, returns 1,509,210 EXP for the same allowance, 152% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 598,990 EXP to 1,509,210 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 152%, so the wrong pick leaves 910,220 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 80 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 935,000 EXP per allowance, 38% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 76 rung behind tops out at 1,425,640 EXP.

At Lv 78 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 955,432 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 2,129,178 EXP, which puts this leve 37% below its own category's average.

Dwarven Cotton Petasos of Healing ×1 is a Lv 78 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 18 units of raw material and 41 crystals.

Handing that in returns 33,277 EXP and 97 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, 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 1,796,970 EXP and 5,241 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 1,796,970 EXP per allowance.
