Add the ability to prioritize event farming in the Strategy Planner

[matthock]

What problem does this feature solve?

Event stages are often more efficient for sanity overall even if they aren't for a specific set of items. While it is possible to limit PS to only look at the event stages, they often don't contain enough items to finish your entire list, resulting in PS outputting "Failed to calculate: Problem appears to be infeasible."

It would be helpful if there was a way to tell PS to prioritize event stages where possible but still tell you what other stages to farm for other items, or to give a sanity value to the event points and also include that with the calculation.

What does the proposed API look like?

An additional item in the "Options" section of the Farming Strategy Planner along the lines of "Large demand for Event Currency"

One thing that might require discussion is how to value the event points. I've considered a few options, although I'm not sure which would be ideal.

• You could base it on cost to clean out the event shop and the calculated sanity value of the items then assume each event point is the average of this
• You could base it off the minimum value of an event point, the infinite 20 LMD/Point item
• Alternatively, rather than doing a calculation, one could calculate as though it was limited to event stages for as many items as possible, then run the normal calculator for the remaining items

Thanks for filing this issue.

The ArkPlanner backend is currently under maintenance mode as the main contributor doesn't have much spare time for contributing new features to the backend. We will see if we could figure this out on how to improve ArkPlanner to add this feature. IMPO this is a pretty nice feature to have.
