Let's not pretend it's exactly what the devs said to expect.

there's only a grind if your one of those people who wanted to max it within the first week. all the rewards are shown on the vendor from the start (with one exception unlocked at rank 10), there is nothing you need a guide for except the rare animals (which don't offer anything different than regular ones, just aesthetics)
