Detail to consider

This tree may seem advantageous in a first playthrough, since it guarantees a steady income of Utar and Jade. However, there are more efficient ways to obtain these resources: capturing enemy troops and heroes.

• Selling prisoners: captured troops can be sold, yielding Utar and Jade (higher troop level = more Utar; higher tier = more Jade).
• Releasing prisoners: freeing troops grants XP crystals and resources such as wood and iron; freeing heroes always provides a random piece of equipment plus either a skill point crystal or a talent point.
• Faction leaders: may pay up to 30k Utar to recover captured heroes.

Regarding skill points: in lower difficulties the evolution cap is smaller, requiring careful investment. In higher difficulties the cap increases, allowing enough points through leveling alone, without relying heavily on crystals.

In the end, this trade-focused tree tends to be less of a priority compared to the main combat trees of each character. The Jade skill may have some value in a first run, but overall it depends heavily on player choice and progression style. Ultimately, the combined mechanics of selling and releasing prisoners offer more varied and valuable rewards, making them a stronger long-term option.
