I will say the Hardest kingdom to improve in is Drachenwald.

Just FYI,

Used tents hardly ever fetch more than HALF of what their original price was.

simply due to most people not having that kinda money just setting around waiting on someones second hand tent. if its a big bargain people will come out the walls to buy it.
