I'll Swap You

One allowance here buys 113,680 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 6 Lv 40 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Cool to Be Southern, returns 125,680 EXP for the same allowance, 11% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 54,350 EXP to 125,680 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 131%, so the wrong pick leaves 71,330 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 45 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 199,230 EXP per allowance, 59% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 35 rung behind tops out at 115,720 EXP.

At Lv 40 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 72,545 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 560,212 EXP, which puts this leve 57% above its own category's average.

Gil ranks it differently: 607 gil per allowance is 2nd of 6 on the same rung against 3rd on EXP, with the best there paying 631 gil.

Ranger's Tunic ×1 is a Lv 42 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 3 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 23 crystals.

Handing that in returns 12,631 EXP and 67 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Leatherworker and Weaver.
