Monster Manual

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Monster Manual UI

The Monster Manuals are a series of in-game catalogs of certain monsters slain. Each provides rewards for certain benchmarks called Deeds — how many different types have been killed, or how many killed by a character and their party, or by a player's account all combined. They are organized into Volumes, and each includes 10 specific monster types or races, except the Prologue, which only has 5.

All Volumes are free to VIP. Premium and Free to Play accounts have free access to the Prologue, and Volume 1 is free to Premium accounts; both must purchase additional volumes individually. It is no longer necessary to purchase the volumes in order. After purchase, it may be necessary to log out and log in again for full access to the manual, although this was supposed to be fixed in Update 15 Patch 1.

  • Bug: Monster Manual 1 will still appear for sale in the DDO Store for those with a Premium account. Do not buy it - it will grant no extra bonuses.

Once purchased, a Manual's monster entries are added to the Monster Manual UI (default access ctrl+m). The entries are grouped under several subheadings, which are exclusive to the Manual and don't necessarily correspond with the standard monster types, despite certain classifications existing in both systems.

Rewards[edit]

Each monster type has Character Deeds and Account Deeds associated with it; at least one monster type from each Manual also has a Mastery Reward. Once the first monster of each type is killed, all of the potential rewards and some abbreviated lore for that monster type will become viewable.

Character Deeds[edit]

Character Deeds are unique for each character on a server: they only count progress achieved with that character, and their reward is likewise only granted to that character.

  • Exterminator deeds (eg: Kobold Exterminator I) are based on kills, much like a Slayer objective, but for an individual monster.
    • Totals logged are for individual (Personal) and Party; completion is based on the Party total. (The Party total also counts kills caused by environmental hazards, pets and summoned creatures, and monsters fighting each other.)
  • Hunter deeds (eg: Human Hunter) are based on finding new unique monsters of the specific type.
  • Each track of character deeds provides progressively increasing XP rewards.
  • Note: some monsters (relatively few) are misclassified or missing from the monster manual. The Monster Manual classification field and notes on the pages for these monsters will have details (eg: Baldrasan, Temple Harpy).

Account Deeds[edit]

Account Deeds track the totals for all characters on that server.

  • Prologue, Volume I, and Volume II manuals include Exterminator and Hunter account deeds.
  • Volume III and onwards include only Exterminator account deeds.
  • Rewards include unlocking additional lore text, statistics, and eventually PnP art (early volumes use art from 3.5E and 4E, while Volume VIII and later volumes introduce 5E art.)

Mastery Rewards[edit]

Monster HP display

Mastery Rewards are earned by completing all Account Deeds for a specific monster entry.

  • Currently, the only Mastery Rewards available are those that award a creature companion. Not every monster has such a reward; see this page for a complete list of available reward companions.
  • Update 74 Patch 1 removed another type of Mastery Reward, which allowed players that unlocked it to view the HP of monsters of that type. Since that update, all players have been able to view HP of all monsters for free.

Completion Guides[edit]

  • Information for completing Hunter deeds is available here on the wiki! The links in the table below lead to lists of all known Manual-tracked entries for a particular type of monster.
  • There exist several guides on the forums and around DDO's other fansites for good locations to complete Exterminator (aka: Slayer) deeds. Several can be found in the links section below.

Monsters by Type and Volume[edit]

Entries in the table that have a pastel blue background are based on research done on Lamannia and have not been verified yet on the live servers. Please remove the background color if you update and verify. Thank you.

Entries with a pink background to the Maximum Individual "Hunter" Reward column presently don't have enough entries recorded to obtain the final hunter reward.
