Researching Monsters
The first factoid is always obtained the first time you defeat a normal enemy. Subsequent factoids take an increasing number of wins to obtain. Once-per-ascension monsters and bosses have a flag that causes them to always give a factoid when defeated.
- Creatures with 1 factoid are casually researched.
- Creatures with 2 factoids are thoroughly researched.
- Creatures with 3 factoids are exhaustively researched a given monster.
Statistics
If you have at least casually researched a monster, the following statistics are collected in the Manuel and are revealed in all subsequent fights against that monster:
- Monster Attack
- Monster Defense
- HP
- Monster Type/Phylum (Tooltip displays name.)
- Elemental Alignment (Tooltip displays elemental weaknesses.)
- Combat Initiative (Tooltip displays exact value.)
Attack, defense and HP accurately display their current values in combat, including changes caused by altered Monster Level and Deleveling. Outside combat, Manuel entries display base stat values, while the stats of Special Monsters appear as either zeroes or question marks.
Manuel Score
In the spirit of the Collector's Score, the Manuel Score is the percentage of total factoids you have collected. For this purpose the figures reported at the top of the Manuel Pages are used.
There are currently a total of 2184 monsters with factoids which can be collected. This gives the maximum number of factoids as 6552. This figure includes monsters counted more than once by the game. It does not count the unobtainable monsters listed below. It also does not count the Drunksgiving monsters, which, although they theoretically could return to the game, will not do so at the earliest until 2052. It does count no longer obtainable factoids, such as the fifth ancient protector spirits and the topiary golem.
This means, for example, that if you have casually researched 44 monsters, thoroughly researched 58 and exhaustively researched 782, you have collected 2506 factoids for a score of 38.25%.
