Information
Source MonstersBookseller

The Monster Compendium is a power book that can be dropped by monsters. The chance for a monster to drop the book starts at 0.01% and increases by 0.015% for each monster killed until it is dropped. Then the chance stays at 0.05% permanently.[1]

It can also be purchased from the Bookseller for data-sort-value="20000">Gold.png20,000g starting in Year 3.

The first reading grants the player a power that gives all monsters a 3% chance to drop double loot. Once read, it can be found in the Player's Menu on the Special Items & Powers tab. Subsequent readings give the player 100 Combat XP.

Two copies of it can be traded to the Bookseller in exchange for a Slime Incubator or a Slime Egg-Press.
