Catlynn wrote on 05/31/2017
Is there any viable substitute for the Droplet of Y'shaarj? I can't find any on the AH, and have been farming the raid for it, but so far nothing. It's pretty much the last pet I need from your family familiar list (Thank you VERY much for that and the ready checker - they're awesome).
Aranesh
responded on 06/01/2017
Sadly the Droplet has a rather unique set of abilities. But if it's just that one pet, check which fight it is used for (hover over the green paw). It is very likely this fight also lists a couple of alternatives that you can use instead :-)
Tormentia-Kul Tiras responded on 06/13/2017
While there isn't a comparable substitute you can still win every battle out there without it. I have. There are many viable alternate strategies.
Othros responded on 07/02/2017
I don't have it either and was able to get the Family Familiar achieve without it, largely thanks to this fantastic guide. Someday I hope to have it too but with these strats the meta-achieve was entirely possible! GL

haw do the Rematch string works
Moenia responded on 06/08/2017
First, if you don't already have it, get the Rematch addon https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/rematch and open up your Pet Journal, you should see the new options that Rematch added at the bottom right. Choose the 'Teams' tab from these.
Click the '+' on the left hand side to create a new tab for your team and name it appropriately (or just use the 'General' tab). Now head back here and use the 'Rematch string' button on your favoured fight to copy the team text.
Back in the Pet Journal Right-click the whichever team button on the right hand side you want to add the team to and select 'Import Teams' from the menu that appears. Press CTRL-V to paste the team data into the box and hit the Save button.
** If the levelling pet slot has level requirements, i.e. Level 10+, just Right-click the blue up arrow in your team, within the team column and select 'Team Preferences' from the menu. Just fill in the appropriate information and you're done**

Just want to say a huge thankyou.
In Pandaria a failed miserably with all the boss fights and threw in the towel.
I accidentally entered the celestial tournament 6 weeks ago and had no idea what it was or what I was doing.
Then, because I thought Xu-Fu was super cute, I googled him, which is how I found your guide.
I travelled the world, found your recommended pets, started doing dailies, went back to my garrison and started doing the rounds of trainers there. Levelled up most of the pets on your list. Bought a couple. Discovered a plushie and a new achievement.
Now I am proud owner of Trunks, Xu-Fu, Chi Chi and Stardust Bunny. I could not in a million years have done it without you and in some cases your comment section if I was missing a pet. Just 6 more weeks of tourney, which will be a piece of cake now Plushie is booted off the team. And family familiar well on the way.

It could be really awsome to have a full guide to pet leveling in legion due to the pet battle tamers there are- Specielly for the new coomers and me.
omnomnomicon wrote on 05/09/2017
love this site. one suggestion: put the name of the tamer in the page title (<title>) so we can find them via browser history/title bar.
Aranesh
responded on 05/09/2017
Hey :) Thanks for the suggestion! It's sadly not very easily done. Just displaying it there would be easy, I could have a script add the name up there, but if you then save this link and open it at a later time, the page also needs to read this information and interpret it correctly. That's where it becomes tricky, because right now every fight has an ID that is unique. If it were a name, say for example "Amalia", the page would only read Amalia, but there are 15 different sections with Amalia (world quests, family familiar, falcosaurs). Which one is the correct?
Then there's the problem with special characters and spaces, these would need to be removed in a unique way because title headers don't like them. And not even starting to speak about other languages. The names are sometimes very different there and use other characters that are not readable by an address line at all.
I'm not trying to make up excuses here! It's something I would love to do because it would make navigating the page much easier, and I'm a big supporter of ease of access. I'm just trying to explain why it is so complicated and why I haven't tackled it, yet.
TheGrandmaGamer responded on 05/25/2017
omnomnomicon, I'm thinking you did not notice every page I have opened from the Menu on the right to go to a specific battle has had a clickable title starting with the word "vs" that takes you to the page on WowHead for that battle. In addition, to the right of that title is a magnifying glass icon that you can hover over to see the map showing the location of the battle. I have not visited all the pages so I cannot say that information is on every page but I bet if it isn't, it will eventually be. I can say that I think that is sufficient information to find everything you might want to know about that Tamer and gives you access to more information if you need it. Considering the volume of work this site represents and the wealth of information it gives I think that should be sufficient, don't you?
omnomnomicon responded on 05/29/2017
Oh, the tamer info is thorough and amazing. I just want to be able to take advantage of my browser's history to quickly get back to the pages if I've forgotten the play by play instructions for a particular fight. As it stands, the title for every page is 'Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies". If it was "Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies for Nameless Mystic' or for Pandaria Tamers or whatever the page was., it'd show up in auto-complete, or be more obvious as a bookmark (and probably raise the site's visibility in terms of SEO)
Aranesh
responded on 05/29/2017
Indeed :) I think I misunderstood you at first - if it's only the page title (not the actual link), then I completely agree. I need to work on this, improve the localization and ideally also make these titles individual.

It's currently a very simple script that checks for a search result. If there is no search result (maybe because of a typo), it doesn't do anything. It's on my list to create a proper search engine at a later time :-)

You can select the turns and copy paste them into the notes feature of rematch :-)
Truidiata wrote on 04/19/2017
Am I missing something obvious regarding the Sprite Darter Hatchling. Your philosophy is to use only easily obtainable pets. I don't have this one, but when I checked AH this one is quite pricy. At least, I consider 40k for a pet high. I checked wowhead to see how to obtain it and it seems its an extremely rare zone drop.
Aranesh
responded on 04/20/2017
The Sprite Darter has a bit of a history with me :-) I myself got it very early when it was still an alliance-only quest reward. That made it very easy to obtain, but that was long before pet battles where in the game.
When I started putting these guides together I was not nearly as knowledgeable and just used the pets I had. And for some strategies the Sprite Darter is simply better than the Nether Faerie Dragon because it only has one breed.
It is indeed a very rare pet now, so it should not be in any of the main strategies, but because of this history you will still find it in some alternatives.
Truidiata responded on 04/20/2017
Thanks for quick response.
I suspected something like this, since your "about us" page lists this as one of the first 3 pets used. :) Guess its like my Emperor crab. First pet I actively used for quests, so now I try with him first on any new battle.
Hatchling is listed in 2 of the legion wqs, and its the only pet missing on my Legion ready checker (WQ version) so I just got curious.
Sarth responded on 05/02/2017
There is currently a rather easy replacement for the Sprite darter: The Nether Faerie Dragon, that you can grab battling with them. They spawn around the Dire Maul and south of it area in Feralas. There are 5 breeds, of which 3 you might aim to get.

Thank you for your work. However, I have a question - I don't see any shop/TGC/raid drop/achievement alternatives, is that on purpose or are they just not that good?
Aranesh
responded on 04/15/2017
It's indeed on purpose. I focus on listing strategies that don't require real money or that are very hard to get, even though some of those pets are exceptionally good :-)
A fan responded on 04/15/2017
I see. Well then, I would like to offer three points for re-consideration :)
- many of us are also collectors, and we have the pets anyway
- thanks to WoW Token and battle.net balance, it is possible to buy shop items for gold
- TGC pets are a very good, if not the only, way to protect gold from inflation
I would at least like to see "What can you get from AH" list. :)
Remte responded on 04/16/2017
There are some strats with rare pets, they just won't get the spotlight any soon. :)
e.g. ?Strategy=334 or ?Strategy=1152
Besides what the author himself said, the more strat testing, the better, and not all team members have all exotic pets… yet.
Aranesh
responded on 04/16/2017
Adding to this, some time this year I will release a new version of the page that will allow users to upload their own strategies directly to the page. That will open up all pets and I'm sure the more exotic ones will find their place then as well.
This is also the main reason I am not uploading many new strategies currently.

Isiel wrote on 04/06/2017
Is there any chance you guys could add guides for the falcosaurs questlines? Sometimes it requires you to beat wqs with falcosaur + 2 of ex undead, etc. and it's kinda hard for pets battle newbies like me :P

What would be nice is what the pets you have to fight and their abilities. That would be helpful.
Aranesh
responded on 03/03/2017
What exactly do you mean? Like an overview of all the pets required for this pages guides?
Tyrsa responded on 03/06/2017
Sounds like Angelyne would like a list of the individual pets in the trainer/WQ battles. Ex: Nightwatcher Merayl's pets are Breezy Book, Helpful Spirit, and Delicate Moth. You don't have these explicitly listed anywhere (although usually the 2nd and 3rd pets of a fight are mentioned when they "swap in"), nor do you have their skill sets listed. In fact some battles are only vs 1 or 2 pets rather than a team of 3, and this isn't even immediately apparent on this site. Nor are unusual enemy team buffs, which I expect will become more prevalent in the upcoming dungeons. I would imagine this would be handy info for folks who want to try vastly different strategies on their own, particularly if they can't immediately test in game and want to scribble some ideas down ahead of time?
I personally am great with the as-is site, so please take all this constructively :)
Aranesh
responded on 03/10/2017
I do :-)
And if that is what was asked here, I have it on my to do list. Quite recently I imported all NPC pets into my database. When mouse-hovering over their names in any strategy, you will notice that there are now tooltips for those pets.
I am also in the process of adding to the trainers which pets they have, but I have a couple of other things I want to do before I make an interface for this.
Angelyne responded on 03/11/2017
Awesome and keep up the good work!

You should really have a section for the Falcosaur Team Rumble Pet Battle quest where they have to defeat 3 Pet Battle World Quests with the Falcosaur in question and 2 other pets of other breeds...
Remte responded on 02/15/2017
There isn't a separate section yet but the mentioned teams are currently being placed where the regular World Quest ones (LegionWQ) are.

Thanks so much for such an amazing resource! I have continued to enjoy it regularly since it's creation. Good to know others enjoy pet battling as much as I do. :)
Do you have any plans to update for the new Pet Battle Dungeon? It looks to be similar to the Celestial Tournament and you guys did a great job on that guide!!
Aranesh
responded on 02/09/2017
Hey Xariah! Thank you very much :-)
And yes of course, I'm already working on it. So far the pet battle dungeon is not as challenging as the Celestial Tournament though, and I probably won't create a full planning tool for it for that reason.

Would it be possible for you to name the Tamers - Like "Envoy - All Pets Goto Heaven" -
I've noticed that a lot of the Legion quests are not named properly, or hard to determine which is which - even if in the same zone.
Just a suggestion!! Love the site - and all you do!
Also, if you need help with any of the site maintenance stuff - just email me, I would be glad to help out.
Aranesh
responded on 01/11/2017
Hey Sydni! Thanks for the feedback :)
I'm not sure what exactly you'd be looking for though. Do you want the tamer name displayed along side the world quest? My logic was to put the world quest name there, because it's the one shown on the map and the quest overview. You only see the tamer name when you're right in front of them. I don't know if the tamer name is really that important to have in the menu list then.
In regards to help, I could always need more help ^^ But you'd have to have fun doing it! Do you have something in mind what you would like to do? Drop me a mail if you're still interested!

Baptism wrote on 12/27/2016
As somebody fairly new to pet battling (a rather new addiction for me!) it would be beneficial to have a "essential pets" guide, or something similar. Right now I'm just at the point where I've leveled up one of each type of pet, but what I'm finding is that I've made some pretty poor choices in what I've leveled. Anyway, this site is a godsend, keep up the good work!
I see that within individual guides you have "Occurrences" of pets, which I assume is how many times that pet is used in that particular guide. Is there a listing, perhaps, of all pets available on this site that I'm missing somewhere... that maybe will list occurrences on a "global" level?
Ectothrix responded on 12/28/2016
http://www.warcraftpets.com/ Breanni has that site with every pet in the game, where to get them etc. but not a strategy guide like this. Maybe this site will have something like it eventually but I cant speak for this sites owner. IMO the two sites go hand in hand.

Some comments:
I'm a little surprised that Bone Serpent and Blighted Squirrel aren't in there anywhere. Maybe I should popularise some strats for them. :) Bone Serpent is infamous in PvP, but can plug a lot of holes in PvE teams as well. OTOH, when you are trying to make a repeatable strat, you really would prefer to avoid introducing a 10% miss chance with Darkness. And Ikky's Black Claw/Flock covers the same ground as the Squirrel's Woodchipper/Stampede combo.
I'm also a little surprised to see Chrominius still so dominant, now that his partner in crime, the Pandaren Water Spirit, is reduced to a shadow of its former self. But that Howl -> Surge of Power combo still nukes just fine.
Breeds. If you say to me "Hey, I'm off to get one of these pets. Which breed should I pick up?" my first answers would be:
"Any Moth" - I love Yellow Moth P/P, White Moth H/H, and Gilded Moth H/P
"Any Rabbit" - any S/S that has 357 speed at level 25, like Spring Rabbit S/S or Alpine Hare S/S
"Any Snail" - my personal go-to is Shimmershell Snail H/P, but they all work fine. I note that Shimmershell and Silkbead Snails are also listed separately, but they're all snails.
Emperor Crab P/P
Emerald Proto-Whelp P/P
Iron Starlette - I want to say H/H, and I want to say P/P, and I want to say P/S. I don't know which to pick. They all work pretty much the same way.
Kun-Lai Runt P/P or P/B
Nether Faerie Dragon S/S, but pick up a P/P as well while you're there. You'll find a use for it later.
Scourged Whelpling H/H
Unborn Val'kyr - both breeds are good. I slightly prefer H/H, but either will do.
Nexus Whelpling P/P
Zandalaris - go for Power. P/P or P/B.
Steele responded on 12/31/2016
What does your short hand refer to? P/P - H/H - S/S - P/S - P/B etc.?
Remte responded on 12/31/2016
These shortcuts refer to breeds – stat profiles that tell you how (H)ealth, (P)ower and (S)peed are distributed; "B" means that they aim for Balance:
http://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pet-battles/breeds/
As you can see, most of the time the most extreme breeds are preferable because they gather the greatest bonus, but there are also cases of "overkills" or the preferred breed unavailable.

Machista responded on 12/17/2016
Could you do a guide on pvp pet battles for new players ?
Gráinne responded on 12/18/2016
Machista, I know Aranesh has said before that he doesn't do enough PvP to write knowledgeably, and keep up with the changing meta.
I recommend Discodoggy as a source of ideas. He has a YouTube channel under that name, and a list of his battles at http://pvppetbattles.com/daily-battle/ He did a two-part video under the title "The Very Best" Oct 24 and 25 2016 showing him playing his strongest teams. You might get ideas from that.
However, the key to winning PvP battles lies in predicting what your opponent is going to do. Your opponent has a Valk, so you expect him to want to lead with that and Haunt. But you have a rabbit, so you can get two rounds of Flurries off, and a Burrow, before the Valk can touch you. But he sees you have a rabbit, so maybe he doesn't start with the Valk. Like that.
I started a friend off into PvP and advised him to stick to very strong, straightforward pets that he knew and understood rather than trying to double-think all the tricky dodgers and swappers and blinders. At the start, you should not worry about winning; just get used to the matches and the timers, and focus on predicting your opponent's moves. He took an Iron Starlette, Bone Serpent, and Nexus Whelpling out, and did pretty well. Remember, you should expect to lose at least half of the time.
With the end of the reign of terror of Graves and the Evil Undead (feat. MPD), lots of pets are viable now, so you are not locked into using the top half-dozen.
Minicurse wrote on 12/11/2016
Just found this site today, love your guides. Any plans on a quick leveling one? know there are plenty of them out there but was just wondering since your guides are easier to follow atleast in my opinion ^_^
Saintgabrial responded on 12/13/2016
Basically just use the guides here that allow you to bring a leveling pet on the team. Depending on what level the leveling pet is, its anywhere from 1 to 7 Pet Tamers a day to level one pet. Also make sure to have your Safari Hat on. Also keep an eye out in the in-game calendar for the Pet Battle bonus even that happens about once a month and a half and runs a week long. Next one is coming up. December 20, 2016 till December 27, 2016. It gives triple the usual EXP.
Genn wrote on 11/24/2016

Hey Genn!
Thanks for the comment :-)
I'm not sure however what exactly you would like to see. Would you like to have the number of the alternative of the fight here reflected in the Rematch title? Can you explain me to what benefit?

Could you add a Northrend tab. I've been asking around and many people including myself still do the Northrend Pet battle Dailies to level our pets, for they give almost as much EXP as all the rest listed here on this site. I can even provide the Strategies if needed.
Aranesh
responded on 11/22/2016
Hey Saintgabrial! It's very low on my list of possible things to do, I have to admit. Those tamers are for the most part extremely easy to do. Most level 25 pets will manage just fine and it's not very hard to add a level pet to the mix. There are some exceptions, but some of them are already covered in the Elekk Plushie guide.
So for now, I'll have to pass on it because I think some other features of the page are just more useful to the majority. Hope you don't mind!

Here is a great add-on to help with the Family Familiar Achievement.

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24028-FamilyFamiliarHelper.html
<a href="http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24028-FamilyFamiliarHelper.html">Link here</a>
This add-on's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar battle pet achievement.
Also it will open the window for this tracker only if the pet battle your doing is a part of the Family Familiar. So it'll remind you and keep track of the families you've done already.
Cottonpandÿ responded on 11/22/2016
Excellent! Will try that addon out.
TheRenegade wrote on 11/14/2016
Hey there, I am SO glad I found your site. I have been out of WoW since fairly early in WoD and just came back into Legion. Saddened to see that my Rematch had lost all my saved teams and most of the new teams I was finding were including some rare and hard to get pets. Then I found your site!
Oh thank heavens! What a relief, had all of my old teams or at least close enough that it was second nature to pick up where I left off in terms of knowing what I was doing!!
I REALLY appreciate the rematch import links, that is clutch when it comes to making teams. Which leads me into a question/suggestion. What add-ons do you suggest, and it would be nice to have a section dedicated to that on your webpage.
Anyway, keep up the good work!!
Gráinne responded on 11/14/2016
About Addons, I consider
Rematch
Battle Pet Breed ID
Pet Tracker
essential for everyone.
I use Battle Pet Binds, which gives you keybinds for all functions in a battle, but that's a matter of taste. I do admit I have sometimes pressed the wrong button, so that's a downside. ;)
Derangement’s Pet Battle Cooldowns is useful for PvE, though Pet Tracker's display will probably be enough for you. However, I consider it essential for PvP, to keep an eye on the CDs of pets in the backline.
While you are doing Family Familiar, the addon Family Familiar Helper is small and very convenient.
Somebody really, really, really needs to write an addon that creates a save-able/paste-able log of every battle.
TheRenegade responded on 11/15/2016
I was already using Rematch, and Pet Tracker. I'll give the other two a shot. Generally I don't care to much about breed, but when it comes to doing the Family Familiar, it might be handy to have the right ones. I'm pretty close as it is. Just need to snag about a dozen new pets and then do some levelling, but that's cake in Pandaland
Would be nice to have a Xu-Fu add-on. But why bother when Rematch has it all!
Eilistraee responded on 11/22/2016
@Gráinne Thank you! I didnt know Derangement’s Pet Battle Cooldowns and it's great.
Just a tip: if you use elvUI like me you'll have to turn off battlepet skin in elvUI config (/ec > skins > battlepet) because they don't work together making the buttons overlap.
Aranesh
responded on 11/22/2016
Hey TheRenegade! I'm really happy you like the page and find things useful to you!
A section for useful addons is something I want to do, just need to find the time. It will however be pretty much exactly what Gráinne suggested. Those are the most useful and common addons for pet battlers around.
Saintgabrial responded on 11/22/2016
Here are the Battle Pet add-on's I use.
Battle Pet Daily Tamer
To track the Pet Dailies I do. Puts a Green or Blue paw on the map and when I'm done with that tamer the paw goes away til the next day.
BattlePetCount
Best one I found to let me see level, rarity and how many pets I currently have while highlighting them out in the world, during Pet Battles, shops and inventories.
FamilyFamiliarHelper
This add-on's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar battle pet achievement.
Also it will open the window for this tracker only if the pet battle your doing is a part of the Family Familiar. So it'll remind you and keep track of the families you've done already.
PetBattleTeams
You can make teams for every Pet Tamer out there and then some. I myself have 118 Teams set up. Not sure if there is a limit.
PetJournalEnhanced
Does a better job at filtering you pets and better job at showing pet rarity and what not.
PetTracker
Well to track all those pets you want to find out in the world of Azeroth.
Rarity
Keeps track of the pets (also toys and mounts) that you still need from dungeons, raids and world bosses.
Aranesh
responded on 11/23/2016
Thank you very much for the list! There are some in that I didn't know but that make perfect sense to have (especially the daily tracker ^^).
May I ask why you prefer PetBattleTeams over Rematch? No judging, just curiousity :-)
Saintgabrial responded on 11/23/2016
I have yet to try Rematch. I've heard about it and saw the post above mention it and have looked at it on the site. Just haven't tried yet. Looks like there is a lot to it and not sure if it'll work with all my other add-on's. I'm thinking of trying it this weekend.

It should work fine with the others, and is really useful. Can recommend it :-)
Muqaddisa responded on 12/15/2016
I've started from Rematch and I absolutely love it. I use it with Derangement's Pet Battle Cooldowns (to track CDs on enemy team) and Niggles: Pet Teams. I love the way I can save teams, place markers for leveling slots, add leveling slot requirements, create a leveling queue. This setup has proven very useful.
I'm going to try one more thing, which is Rarity - I keep missing some instance and world drop pets, so it might prove very useful.
Saintgabrial wrote on 11/08/2016
First thing I must say is how awesome this site is and my daughter and I use it regularly. She always tries to do all Pet battles her self with no guides but she has helped me and is putting some of her teams on paper to add to your site here.
Two things I'd like to ask if you could possibly add. One is PVP pets and teams. A guide to help others with the know how of what pets are good to use and what combos.
Second is there a way you could add all the older pet tamers. Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outlands for those that are learning and and just doing achievements and what not. As well as Northrend and the few from cataclysm for they also give really good pet EXP for leveling pets. All of witch can be either 2 petted or soloed. During the Pet bonus week I do the Northrend and cata zones to level my pets. I lost my notebook and some strategies I don't remember fully. If they were on this site then everyone as well as I can look right here. I could suggest the strategies I know and once I remember the others fully I can also suggest those.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this site and for sharing all this info with us.
Aranesh
responded on 11/08/2016
Hello Saintgabrial! Thank you for your kind words and for stopping by regularly!
I'd like to answer your questions here if you don't mind. For PvP I'm not a specialist, and I would not feel comfortable adding a guide if I knew it will never be a really good one. I'd need someone else to write such a guide to add here and keep updated. Since no one is doing that right now, there is no PvP section. I am thinking about a collection of links to PvP guides from other people though!
Regarding the older battles, most of them are so easy (especially the starting zone ones) that almost any level 25 pet can beat them. There are some exceptions like Major Payne, but for most people those are done one time to unlock the further quest chains, and that's it. It would take some considerable time to add these as categories, and while I do want to do that, it's just not a priority right now. There are other areas in which I want to improve the page first, where I think everyone could benefit from much more.
I hope you're not too disappointed, but I prefer to say the exact reasons than to give you some false expectation.
Saintgabrial responded on 11/09/2016
That's fine and sounds reasonable. Thanks
Sela responded on 11/16/2016

I just wanted to respond to this one as I use the rematch strings often and find that the control commands work just fine - once i have clicked the rematch string button on this site, i head into Wow, open up the pet journal, select the teams tab and import, then Ctrl V to paste. Works every time! Also i do the same with the notes, but manually Ctrl C and paste. Hope this works for you.
Thank you to everyone who has built this site it has saved me hours of trial and error and whenever i get stuck i come here. brilliant work :)
please email me when you are ready to do the PVP section, i would be happy to contribute.
best wishes

Great site, I depend on your guide everyday! But now I'm stuck with the Falcosaur last quest chain - Team Rumble. Hopefully you can update it soon~

Hey Mewness!
I'm far from that step myself, making it hard to test :-( And so far I have no idea where to put it up! Will take some time until I have a good idea. Unless you have one perhaps? :-)

Hey! First of all thanks for this site, it really speeds ups things and makes everything easier.
I have one suggestions, what about making a PVP tab where you and other people can suggest and show thier pvp pet teams and show thier strategies

Hey Moikila!
I considered something like this, but right now my focus is purley on the PvE content. Perhaps in the future!
If you want, check out my blog post outlining my roadmap for the coming months: http://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?m=1&jumpto=73

I want to thank you for putting so much effort into this site, for the longest time since coming back after I abandoned the game in Cataclysm I've been working hard on building my pet battle teams, and I recently had my hard drive die and lost my rematch lua file :'( :'( :'( but thanks to your site I now have a huge array of teams to paste and start rebuilding / tuning. The site and teams posted on it will have saved me weeks of effort to get initial teams built again. Thank you soooooo much, was worth more than I could afford to donate sadly I'm a working stiff ;) Thanks again!!

Hey Gelmanwar! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Don't worry about the donation, I appreciate it of course, but the main thing is that the info we are putting together and offering here is helping others!
