I'd like to propose a new tool: it's purpose would be to see how the player can use their stamina most efficiently to farm several items at once - think of it as an evolution of the Item Drops tool, that takes into consideration the drop rate of multiple items.
A possible use case is collecting equipment for a rank-up:
When you collect equipment for Akari Rank 10, each individual item is rated with at most 0.036 drops/stamina.
But the Archangel Rod, Archsage's Orb and Viridian Robe parts all drop at Thalia Volcano 15-1 (hard) - that raises the drops/stamina ratio for that quest up to 0.108
This gets more useful if you don't just take into consideration collecting equipment for a single character, but a batch of them, or collecting the parts for items needed to craft the final piece.
Practically, you would select items to farm, and the tool would then display the quests with the highest drop rate for all selected items combined.
caveat: Some mobs have multiple items in their drop list. I don't know if each item gets their own loot roll, or if they roll once against their whole list - although in the latter case I'm not sure how that would affect the drops/stamina ratio, since you could only get a single item from that mob.
