A Python tool that optimizes Loyalty Point (LP) store purchases for EVE Online's Tribal Liberation Force, helping you maximize profit from faction warfare LP.

• Real-time Market Data: Fetches live prices from Jita using the EVE ESI API
• Profit Optimization: Calculates ISK/LP ratios for all LP store items
• Liquidity Analysis: Considers market depth and daily volume to avoid illiquid items
• Multi-constraint Optimization: Respects LP budget, cargo capacity, and market absorption limits
• Multi-buy Output: Generates EVE-formatted shopping lists for easy in-game purchasing
• Detailed Reports: Shows profitability breakdown, investment costs, and expected returns

The LP store allows players to exchange:

• Loyalty Points (LP) + ISK + Base Items (T1 ammo/drones) → Faction Items

This tool finds the most profitable items by:

1. Fetching current market prices for both base items (what you buy) and faction items (what you sell)
2. Calculating profit per LP spent: (sell_price - buy_cost - isk_cost) / lp_cost
3. Optimizing purchases using a greedy algorithm with liquidity constraints
4. Generating a shopping list of base items to purchase

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Internet connection (for ESI API access)

pip install requests

Or use the requirements file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

python eve_lp_optimizer.py --lp <available_lp> --cargo <cargo_capacity_m3>

Example:

python eve_lp_optimizer.py --lp 1000000 --cargo 5000

Use sample market data instead of live API calls:

python eve_lp_optimizer.py --lp 100000 --cargo 5000 --sample

python eve_lp_optimizer.py --lp 1000000 --cargo 5000 \
    --max-days 7.0 \
    --min-liquidity 0.5 \
    --categories ammo_s ammo_m \
    --output my_purchases.txt

• ammo_s - Small projectile ammo
• ammo_m - Medium projectile ammo
• ammo_l - Large projectile ammo
• drone_light - Light combat drones
• drone_medium - Medium combat drones

The tool generates two files:

A list of base items to purchase, formatted for EVE's multi-buy interface:

Nuclear S x445000
Titanium Sabot S x1370000
Proton M x150000
Proton S x15000

How to use:

1. Copy the contents
2. In EVE, open any market window
3. Click "Multi-buy" in the bottom left
4. Paste and buy!

Comprehensive analysis including:

• Individual item profitability
• Total investment required
• Expected revenue and profit
• LP and cargo utilization
• Effective ISK/LP ratio

Effective ISK/LP:                2,161

1. Run the optimizer with your available LP and cargo space
2. Review the report to check profitability and investment required
3. Purchase base items using the multi-buy list
4. Visit the LP store in-game and make the recommended exchanges
5. Sell faction items on the market in Jita

• All prices fetched from Jita (The Forge region)
• Uses sell orders (competition prices for faction items, purchase prices for base items)
• Considers orders within 5% of best price for volume calculations
• Daily volume averaged over last 30 days of market history

• Greedy approach: sorts items by ISK/LP ratio
• Liquidity penalty: reduces value for slow-selling items
• Constraints: respects LP budget, cargo capacity, and market depth
• Market depth limiting: won't purchase more than the market can absorb in the specified timeframe

The tool uses EVE's official ESI (EVE Swagger Interface) API:

• Base URL: https://esi.evetech.net/latest
• Rate limiting: 0.1s delay between requests
• No authentication required for market data

• Faction-specific: Currently configured for Tribal Liberation Force only
• Jita-only: All prices based on Jita market
• No transaction costs: Doesn't account for broker fees or sales tax
• Static configuration: LP store items are hardcoded (EVE updates may require code updates)
• Market volatility: Prices can change between analysis and execution
