By far the best guide on the internet. Simple and to the point. I was looking mainly for what each reward tier gave you out of curiosity but seeing the mark on the map for each one is outstanding work. You guys have earned my support. Every one guide on the internet leaves out the tier levels and has a shitty presentation. 10/10!
