What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 5,730 EXP, which places it 6th of the 6 Lv 5 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Just for Kecks, returns 8,460 EXP for the same allowance, 48% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 5,730 EXP to 8,460 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 48%, so the wrong pick leaves 2,730 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 10 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 13,090 EXP per allowance, 55% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 1 rung behind tops out at 2,740 EXP.
At Lv 5 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 4,554 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 28,481 EXP, which puts this leve 26% above its own category's average.
Gil ranks it differently: 140 gil per allowance is 4th of 6 on the same rung against 6th on EXP, with the best there paying 169 gil.
Hempen Acton ×1 is a Lv 8 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 7 units of raw material and 7 crystals.
Handing that in returns 819 EXP and 20 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
