    Rankings now in "shared spreadsheet"

    I have updated the "shared spreadsheet" created by member dlp44 and contributed to by numerous others...

    here is the link:
    https://bit.ly/ZS2Info

    ...to include a new sheet - - "RANKINGS" - - which allows calculation of realistic gold & XP values. That sheet has no merged cells so that it can be sorted & filtered easily. (The original "main" sheet has merged cells preventing this.)

    There are a number of animals for which data is missing. Collectively, "we" own these animals and have the data, we just need each person to check & see what data they can contribute.
    I have not thoroughly checked to see if every animal (especially the newest ones) has been added.

    Please do contribute, and thanks.
    Enjoy,

    If you have read this far, then thanks!
    Just so everyone is reminded, you can access the spreadsheet that is used to generate these rankings, and even customize it to your own playing habits.
    Just be mindful that this is a shared resource, and if you don't know what you're doing with spreadsheets, it IS possible to mess it up permanently. BE CAREFUL!!

    Here is the link:
