What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,051,810 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 2 Lv 82 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Color Coated, returns 1,582,910 EXP for the same allowance, 50% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 84 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 1,255,600 EXP per allowance, 21% less than the best on this rung, while the Lv 80 rung behind tops out at 935,000 EXP.
At Lv 82 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 1,208,998 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 2,464,410 EXP, which puts this leve 13% below its own category's average.
Almasty Serge Hat of Casting ×1 is a Lv 82 Weaver recipe, 2 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 19 units of raw material and 47 crystals.
Handing that in returns 55,358 EXP and 258 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Goldsmith and Weaver.
