-====== COMPENDIUM ======
+====== Compendium ======
-The Compendium is an item that players always have equipped, you cannot unequip, and you get by default. It will give a boost in stats depending on the number of monsters killed.
-  *     There will be 3 tiers of kills for each monster in the game, a low, middle, and high number of kills.
-  *     Reaching a tier will give a number of points towards the player's total Compendium score.
-  *     The higher the score, the more stats the Compendium gives. The score boost is a flat number of stats.
-  *     There will be bonuses for having certain combinations of monsters at certain kill tiers.
-  For example, a "Wasteland Destroyer" combination could mean kills on Rats, Skrivets, Razen Drakes, and Karth Drakes.
-  *     Combination bonuses are above and beyond your normal Compendium boost in stats, and act similarly to Energizements.
-  For example, "Wasteland Destroyer" could give +2/5/10% Pierce for T1/2/3 in kills.
-  *     Combination bonuses are permanent and stackable.
-We have listed the requirements below.
+Compendium is your own, personal collection of information on monsters. As you kill more monsters, you unlock Ranks (up to 3) that give you a better understanding of the monsters you fight through bonuses. Reaching Rank 3 for a monster also gives a [[multikill|Multikill]] bonus!
+Explore the Compendium by clicking it in the lower left-hand corner of your equipment window.
+  * 3 ranks for each monster, each breakpoint at 200k, 500k, and 1M kills.
+  * The progress bar is colored according to the rank you're working toward. A full colored bar means you hit the rank.
+  * Each monster has its own stat bonuses it gives at each breakpoint. Each breakpoint overrides the breakpoint before it.
+  * For wasteland monsters, the stat bonuses for each breakpoint are about equal in increase. However, for abyss and maw monsters, the first breakpoint gives the most bonuses.
+  * Reaching Rank 3 for any monster gives a global -1% multikill bonus, in addition to the stat bonus. For example, if you have 3 monsters at Rank 3, fighting the 4th monster would give a 27% stat bonus to the monster instead of a 30% bonus. Check the [[multikill|Multikill]] page for more information and math about how much impact this bonus has.
+  * Every 10 total rank points gives a +2% damage bonus.
+  * All kills you have already made are automatically included in the Compendium.
+====== Ranks ======
+To obtain each rank, the number of kills below must be met for each and they are a running total.
+This means to get from Rank 2 from Rank 1, you would need another 300,000 kills, and not another 500,000 kills.
+**Rank 1** = 200,000 Kills
+**Rank 2** = 500,000 Kills
+**Rank 3** = 1,000,000 Kills
+The rewards that you gain for reaching each rank can be seen in-game by clicking Character in the bottom menu, then clicking Compendium.
