Monster Manual

Overview
The Monster Manual is a in-game catalog of monsters you have slain.

It is organized into Volumes, and each volume provides access to several monster types. All Volumes are free to VIP. Premium players may purchase each Volume individually.

Rewards
Each monster type has Character Deeds, Account Deeds, and Mastery Rewards associated with it.
 * Once you have killed your first monster of that type, you are able to view all of the potential rewards for that Monster.
 * Character Deeds must be accomplished by that character.
 * Character deeds are currently all a progressively increasing xp reward.
 * They are based on kills, much like a slayer for an individual monster.
 * Much like wilderness slayers, the totals are for individual and party.
 * The total counts towards your reward, but the Manual lists both if you are interested.
 * Account Deeds are a total for all your characters on that server.
 * Earning account deeds are based on a variety of slayers and finding new unique monster sub types.
 * Rewards range from lore and 3.5/4.0 art, to 15 TP, to a medium jewel of fortune.
 * There is a second reward of 35 TP for the highest slayer that is not displaying. http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p=4656856&postcount=27
 * The Prologue monsters do not have TP or the jewel of fortune as a reward.
 * Mastery Rewards are earned by a combination of total Character and Account Deeds.
 * There are currently two types of rewards for mastery, which are earned by completing a certain number of account/Character deeds.
 * All monsters have the reward of being able to view the current and total HP for all sub types of that monster.
 * Certain monsters in the manuals beyond the Prologue can reward a creature companion of that monster.
