NEW FOR 2014

New Scoring System

Every 100 points will level up your Compendium. You’ll receive extra immortal treasures, obtain new custom in-game effects, get bonus Loading Screens and increase your Battle Point Booster percentage as you progress. Higher level owners receive custom visuals, which will include modified teleport effects, base healing effects, and even new appearances for Bottle, Blink Dagger, and Dagon. These level up Custom Effects last until July 28th. As an added bonus, upon reaching level 50, receive a special alternate version of the Mini-Pudge courier when the stretch goal is reached. How cool is that?

The International Courier

Once you reach Level 4, the International Courier will be yours–Kunkka’s faithful Lieutenant Squawkins, a parrot unique in all the lands of DOTA. Continue to develop your Compendium and you’ll unlock alternate styles for Lieutenant Squawkins at Level 24 and Level 41. The alternate styles available at a later date.

Evolving Battle Point Booster

You’ll see an increase to your battle pointer booster percentage as you level up. This item is unique in that it stacks with any other booster that you have active. The duration of the boost lasts from the time it’s activated until July 28th, with no limits on how many matches it can be used in or how high the boost can go. Pretty sweet huh?

Immortal Treasures

Once the Immortal Treasure stretch goal is reached, you’ll receive an extra Immortal Treasure every 10 levels. Each time you open a treasure, you will find a different item, with a chance to get an exceptionally rare item.

Compendium Objectives

This year’s Compendium has several new objectives you can work toward to earn points. Take the 10 Hero Challenge and try to win a game with each of ten randomly assigned heroes. Offer up your unwanted items for exchange with the Offering of the Aegis. Every week your offering will be collected and Compendium Points and items will be left in its place. Explore the new fantasy format. Each Compendium owner will be granted a ticket to compete in Dota Fantasy Season 1, starting on May 19th. With more details coming soon.
