How the Planner Decides
Access comes first
A recommendation must fit the highest stage you say is unlocked. Price alone does not include bestiary, level, quest, material, or access requirements.
Your goal changes the route
Profit, mutations, safe reeling, and efficient progression produce different shortlists. No single rod wins every job.
Budget is not the whole cost
Direct C$ prices are filtered by budget. Quest and completion rewards can appear because their real cost is progress rather than a shop price.
