Pants Are Not Enough

One allowance here buys 21,850 EXP, which places it 4th of the 6 Lv 15 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Read the Fine Print, returns 24,790 EXP for the same allowance, 13% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 20,790 EXP to 24,790 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 19%, so the wrong pick leaves 4,000 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 20 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 28,010 EXP per allowance, 13% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 10 rung behind tops out at 13,090 EXP.

At Lv 15 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 16,554 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 78,432 EXP, which puts this leve 32% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 229 gil per allowance is 6th of 6 on the same rung against 4th on EXP, with the best there paying 293 gil.

Padded Hempen Trousers ×1 is a Lv 16 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 6 units of raw material and 6 crystals.

Handing that in returns 3,642 EXP and 38 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.
