I agree that banishing with a crafted item is the richest reward. It is also a tactic to store energy. That was my "I wish I knew item". Learn how to manage energy. Store it in any of the many ways available. Stockpile food. Craft and hold banishment items. Target collections that support these. Get locations to 99% and wait until you want the energy boost. Choose to level up when you are low in energy so you don't waist so much.

Something else players ought to know from the start, I have echoed here over and over... Set your own goals. You don't have to use theirs. You don't have to buy anything it that is your goal. If you want to play high cost locations, go ahead, but realize that is your goal and be realistic about it. Don't blaim anyone for your choices.
