First off I want to say thank you so much for sharing the chapter requirements! It is so helpful to know what to pull out of storage and what to stock up on. So thank you!!!
I've been focusing on the Frizzly Bears before beginning the first chapter while I wait until my stored Marketplaces are ready to collect. I haven't been keeping track of how many bears I have fought, but I'm up to 24 Frizzly Teeth and 8 Knight's Bracers, so I think I am on a good pace.
