What the allowance actually buys
One allowance here buys 36,390 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 25 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP — a figure 1 other leve on the rung matches exactly. The best of them, Piling It On, returns 47,200 EXP for the same allowance, 30% more.
Across that rung the return runs from 24,980 EXP to 47,200 EXP per allowance — 4 distinct figures spanning 89%, so the wrong pick leaves 22,220 EXP of the allowance unspent.
On whether to wait: the best Lv 30 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 99,220 EXP per allowance, 110% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 20 rung behind tops out at 28,010 EXP.
At Lv 25 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 31,772 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 204,269 EXP, which puts this leve 15% above its own category's average.
Velveteen Wedge Cap of Gathering ×1 is a Lv 28 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 4 intermediates, costing 8 units of raw material and 11 crystals.
Handing that in returns 4,549 EXP and 31 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.
