Seeing It Through to the End

One allowance here buys 100,980 EXP, which places it 5th of the 6 Lv 45 Weaver tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, And a Haircut Wouldn't Hurt, returns 199,230 EXP for the same allowance, 97% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 82,440 EXP to 199,230 EXP per allowance — 5 distinct figures spanning 142%, so the wrong pick leaves 116,790 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 50 Weaver tradecraft leve returns 211,350 EXP per allowance, 6% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 40 rung behind tops out at 125,680 EXP.

At Lv 45 this data holds 52 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 48 Tradecraft ones average 98,250 EXP per allowance, the 4 Fieldcraft ones 733,026 EXP, which puts this leve 3% above its own category's average.

Woolen Smock ×1 is a Lv 44 Weaver recipe, 3 steps deep through 5 intermediates, costing 9 units of raw material and 31 crystals.

Handing that in returns 11,220 EXP and 34 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows, and the tree needs Alchemist and Weaver.

The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 302,940 EXP and 924 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 302,940 EXP per allowance.
