All the different "Consumables" like candy canes certainly help alot for Hard Mode, since they either buff you and your group or remore DP which is also important because once your character gets -60DP you are insta-killed and have to return to a town (same as when you fail a mission).

The Silver Assassins
The Ambassadors Retreat
Dragon Court Clan Links
