What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 1,703,250 EXP, which places it 2nd of the 2 Lv 88 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, A Better Bottom Line, returns 2,257,300 EXP for the same allowance, 33% more.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 90 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 2,695,430 EXP per allowance, 19% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 86 rung behind tops out at 1,922,600 EXP.
At Lv 88 this data holds 18 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 16 Tradecraft ones average 1,852,163 EXP per allowance, the 2 Fieldcraft ones 3,242,290 EXP, which puts this leve 8% below its own category's average.
AR-Caean Velvet Cap of Maiming ×1 is a Lv 88 Weaver recipe, 2 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 26 units of raw material and 56 crystals.
Handing that in returns 65,510 EXP and 193 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist, Blacksmith and Weaver.
