Guiding Lands: Biggest region rank gains come from helping in low region rank SoS

I clocked this early, and presumed everyone else had too. But seeing some of the comments being made on twitter in a GL feedback thread, that seems not to be the case.

Counterintuitively, the rank of your own Guiding Lands region doesn't dictate the loses and gains you make, when you answer a SoS.

The rank of the host player's region does.

As many of you have noticed, I'm sure, getting from rank 6 to 7 in your own Guiding Lands is sloooooow, even when fighting Tempered monsters and Elders. At least, relatively slow to the gains you got fighting Pukei and the like, at rank 1.

The answer? Go join an MR 24 instance for the region you want. Pick a rank 1 SoS if you can, and absolutely wail on the monster.

As an example, here's my Rank 5 Wildspire gains from a Rank 1 Kulu-Ya-Ku SoS.

Massive gains, comparatively.
Happy hunting!
