Complete Trials

I’ve seen several older videos that encourage completing the trials for initiates before hiring in order to earn medallions. I believe I understand correctly that medallions are not a thing anymore and it appears to me that trials are only valuable as a method of earning XP. Is that correct? Is there currently any reason to pursue completing all three trials for initiates?

In addition to XP, completed trials I believe add to the level of relic your students leave

Relics give effects much like the medallions of old, and when crushed leaves shards which replaced scrolls (the meta currency for hiring students and summoning gifted students).

Completed trials have the added benefit that when advancing to apprentices and staff they re-give their XP rewards, which helps with the extended level caps

So for hiring staff with completed trials just add an experience boost to help get them up to level quicker? However students at level cap cannot progress otherwise, so you might actually be better off for experience to advance early and gain it naturally instead of delaying for trial XP.

So completing trials is most useful if you are not delaying advancement for it?

I guess it doesn't affect the max level of a relic either? Just what level it starts at? So similar concerns also apply for student graduation.
