One allowance here buys 6,880 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 10 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Making Gloves Out of Nothing at All, returns 13,090 EXP for the same allowance, 90% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 3,780 EXP to 13,090 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 246%, so the wrong pick leaves 9,310 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 15 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 24,790 EXP per allowance, 89% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 5 rung behind tops out at 8,460 EXP.

At Lv 10 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 8,265 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 43,676 EXP, which puts this leve 17% below its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 174 gil per allowance is 3rd of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 292 gil.

Stablehand's Hat ×1 is a Lv 13 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 2 intermediates, costing 5 units of raw material and 4 crystals.

Handing that in returns 1,376 EXP and 35 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
