As for what you should wish for, you might want to not wish for anything, and instead alchemize your pearls to something else.

I personally have the feeling that it is all in all for many nations most economic to wish for gems .


The 175 gems you get per wish equal 325 pearls .
The costs for a "normal" wishcaster which starts with S3 are about 200-300 pearls depending what you can forge and what not .
But compared to not empowering a wishcaster + alchemizing the pearls instead normally wishing reaches break even point at the 2nd wish for gems already .


And wishing gives you the best flexibility . In a few turns a non-bloodnation can become a superior blood nation too by wishing a few pazuzus ( 2-3 ) and then blood .
The pazuzus summon a few vampire lords and then can summon monthly storm demons while the vampire lords can do horde from hell , forge soul contracts or summon forces of darkness .


Imo wishing is the most economic "strat" , the problem is only always time but you can often influence that a lot in your favour with good diplomacy .
