     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. As you see, progressing through Compendium isn't as simple as it is.

    -==== 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. Compendium is simple: you kill a certain amount of any monster and get their listed bonuses.

     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. 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.

    -=== 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: Slayer mastery is the ultimate max kill increase method, designed to increase your max kill over time as you progress through the game.

    -=== 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. 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.

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. 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.

     The easy metric to calculate how close you are to max killing Filchers is the fastest Attack Speed possible: 10 AS. When you have enough empowers, allstat, compendium and companions to get 10 AS, you're most likely powerful enough to kill 20 Filchers or more. The easy metric to calculate how close you are to max killing Filchers is the fastest Attack Speed possible: 10 AS.

    -==== The 10 AS milestone ====+===== The 10 AS milestone =====
      
     10 Attack Speed is the highest Attack Speed (denoted AS) a player can achieve without injections (lightning injection lets you get down to 9 AS). As you get lower AS, you will hit enemies way more often progressively more. If an enemy has 20 AS while you have 10 AS and you can 2-shot that enemy, you won't take any damage in that round. Similarly, if you can hit an enemy twice before they hit you once, you can proc incapacitate Drake ability much more likely and get more free damage in. It's generally very useful and a must at late game. 10 Attack Speed is the highest Attack Speed (denoted AS) a player can achieve without injections (lightning injection lets you get down to 9 AS).

     If we're using T9 gear, we don't have to E9 every single T7 gear we have and just cheaply craft T9 gear instead. Since there's more than 10 speed difference between E9 T7 and base T9, it's better to just craft a T9 instead of using E9 T7. If we're using T9 gear, we don't have to E9 every single T7 gear we have and just cheaply craft T9 gear instead.

Therefore, __we need to purchase 2x max empowered T9 gear to get to 10 AS__. 10x E9 T9 piece total: (215+280) * 2.14 = __1059 speed.

     Now that we have 10 AS, we should easily be able to max kill Filchers. The next [[advanced_guide|Advanced Guide]] will feature what to do after reaching that point, including getting all T9 augments. The true question that will be asked in the next chapter is: "Do I stay at Filchers forever?" Now that we have 10 AS, we should easily be able to max kill Filchers.
