Not ideal when
You need a one-number answer more than a route explanation
A recent patch already changed the assumptions and you have not checked updates yet
Your real question is about pet fit or route math, not editorial guidance
Codes are often the cheaper first check
Checking codes usually takes less time than starting an event route, and the reward can change what you can afford. If the code reward affects recovery, crop choice, pet support, or event upgrades, it belongs before event farming.
Event timing can override the normal order
If an event window is about to close and the code reward will not change your route, event farming can come first. The key is whether the first action changes the next decision, not which page feels more exciting.
Codes usually come first unless the event window is the urgent constraint.
Check the cost of pausing the main route
Event farming can be valuable, but it can also interrupt stable progress. If the event reward does not support your current goal, a quick code check followed by normal farming may be stronger.
Use a split plan when both matter
Some days need both. Claim codes, spend only if the reward fixes the event route, then farm a timed event block and return to the stable route before recovery suffers.
