# Bestiary

The training system of **Bestiary** records how many monsters each player has defeated. For each creature there are **3 stages** (each with an EXP reward) — upon completing a stage you also **summon a corresponding elite monster.** corresponding.

### Bestiary experience calculation

The experience received per stage is calculated by:

**Bestiary EXP = 5% × Monster EXP × stage amount**

Step by step (example given):

* Monster: **Dragon** → EXP = **700**
* Stage amount (e.g.: count used in the example) = **1000**

Calculation:

1. 5% of 700 = 0.05 × 700 = 35.
2. 35 × 1000 = **35.000**.

Therefore, **5% × 700 × 1000 = 35,000** EXP.

### 🧮 Counting Kills (Defeated Creatures)

Kill counting in the **Bestiary** follows the same rules used in the [system of **Task**](https://exordion.gitbook.io/exordion-wiki/en/systems/tasks-system):

* You must deal **at least 10% of the total damage** to the defeated creature for the kill to be counted.
* If the creature is defeated by more than one player, **each participant receives 0.5 kill**.

#### ⚔️ Group Kills (Party)

* The total damage dealt by the group must be greater than **10% × number of members**.
  * Example: if the group has 5 members, the total damage needs to be greater than **50%** of the creature's total damage.
* When the requirement is met, **each member is credited with 0.5 kill**.
* This rule is valid only when the group has **Shared Experience enabled and active**.
