Monster Manual

Overview
The Monster Manual is a catalog of monsters you have slain. It is organized into Volumes, and each volume provides access to several monster types. Volumes are free to VIP. Each monster type has Character Deeds, Account Deeds, and Mastery Rewards associated with it. Character Deeds must be accomplished by that character. Account Deeds are a total of all your characters on that server. Mastery Rewards are earned by a combination of total Character and Account Deeds.
