 As you see, progressing through Compendium isn't as simple as it is. Even while doing abyss Compendium immediately, it may be better to get 1 rank (200k kills) in all monsters before going for the rank 3 (1M kills) for them. We need to delve into the topic of Compendium more.
-==== Compendium ====
+===== Compendium =====
 Compendium is simple: you kill a certain amount of any monster and get their listed bonuses. There are 3 bonuses that are granted at 200k, 500k and 1M kills. The 500k bonus replaces the 200k bonus and so on. At 1M kills, you get another bonus: multikill bonus. This is explained more in the Multikill page. A summary of it is that it reduces the speed monsters become more powerful, so for killing a lot of monsters, it's quite useful, especially towards endgame where we'll be killing 50+ monsters. This is why people go back and grind wastelands compendium: the multikill bonus.
 Additionally, for every 10 Compendium ranks you gain 3% damage bonus (base 2%, multiplied by 1.5 from Corp skill).

 Keep in mind that if you want to progress a lot faster and want to support the game, buy a VIP pack and you'll get 10 more max kills from VIP alone. Since currently credit prices are insanely high, I don't recommend buying VIP until you at least reach lvl 130 combat and unlock T8. You'll definitely need VIP when you arrive at t9 and start getting your t9 augments.
-=== The Slayer Mastery ===
+==== The Slayer Mastery ====
 Slayer mastery is the ultimate max kill increase method, designed to increase your max kill over time as you progress through the game. Just about every player above 3 months of playtime is rushing this mastery. However, since we have been playing for close to 2 months of playtime, our total kill count should be around 7-8M kills. This complicates things:

 You can see how many monsters you've killed on the Compendium page, under "Total kills".
-=== The Wastelands Dilemma ===
+==== The Wastelands Dilemma ====
 If you want to go all the way towards the endgame and be a top player, you'll need to eventually do all Wastelands Compendium. The only question is when? You can immediately start working on Wastelands compendium after UH compendium, or at any time really. Due to it's simplicity, you can mix and match with Wastelands compendium at any moment, insert it into your grand plans whenever there's a roadblock.

 ===== Trading for power =====
-As t10 is the highest current tier, buying equipment from other players for t8 and below (2 tiers below max and below) needs only 1 redeeming coin. Therefore, buying a max empowered t8 equipment from other players is currently quite economical. And to buy equipment from others, you need to complete the quest that opens trading: Reclamation.
+As t10 is the highest current tier, buying equipment from other players for t8 and below (2 tiers below max and below) needs only 1 redeeming coin. Therefore, buying a max empowered t8 equipment from other players is currently quite economical. And to buy equipment from others, you need to complete the quest that opens trading: Reclamation. Just inject some brutality and juggernaut injections and clear quests until you complete that one. There isn't anything critical in the missions themselves like the previous sidearms, so the main questline isn't as important as before.
 Even though it's early to ask the question of "Do I stay on Filchers?" again, it's important to determine if you need just the combat power and compendium progress to max kill Filchers. You can do it several ways, but the most used and recommended way is Abyss 200k compendiums, waiting for t9 and buying several pieces of max empowered t9 from other players.
