Overall: Fontaine high diff (-)

Here some categories are weighted more than others, and Penacony is massively held back by the dud that is 2.3, and Aventurine, Acheron and Sunday carrying the story on its back. Both are Amphoreus victims. 

Comp means all the MSQs, trailblazer continuances, character quests and world quests in these regions. Most things are scaled based off of the MSQ though, comp only has effect on certain cats.
