The Interactive Compendium can be purchased from the Dota 2 Store for $9.99. It's bundled with an exclusive Lieutenant Squawkins. It also includes any stretch goal rewards which have already been unlocked.

The International 2014 Interactive Compendium can be purchased here.




Once you've purchased your compendium it can be activated by right clicking on the icon within your Armory.


You'll then be able to select the icon next to your player level to access your compendium.

For every compendium purchased the prize pool of the 2014 International is increased by $2.50. On the "Prize Pool" section of the compendium there is a running total of how much the International prize pool is currently sitting at. Additionally you can check the running total by visiting the Dota 2 Blog.

There are multiple stretch goals which will unlock different rewards.



If you'd like to gift a compendium to a friend you'll need to purchase one from the store and then trade it to them. If you're not familiar with Steam trading you can follow my guide below.

Several pages of the compendium will allow you to make predictions on what you think is going to happen during the tournament. Correct predictions will earn you points in your compendium.



You can revisit these pages at any time to alter your predictions. Once the countdown at the bottom of the compendium hits zero your predictions will be locked and you'll be unable to edit your choices.

As you level up your compendium by completing objectives and correctly predicting results you'll earn additional rewards. The compendium points section will show you how many points you need for your next level and what you'll earn at each milestone. Your compendium will level up for every 100 points earned.

Higher level compendium owners will earn custom visuals, including 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.



The second page of the compendium points section will give you a list of objectives you can complete to gain additional points. You're also able to purchase compendium points directly from the Dota 2 store.

Within the compendium there is a page called All-Star Match. This page will allow you to create two dream teams which will compete for fun during The International.

The Favorites page allows you to pick your favorite team and individual player for the tournament.

During the International you can offer items similar to the New Bloom Festival. Each week during the event the items you've offered will be collected and replaced with different loot. The items and amount of points you'll receive in return for your offering will be directly affected by the quality of the items you've offered.






Offering an item can be done by right clicking on the thumbnail via your armory. From the drop menu select Make Offering. Certain items such as unusuals cannot be offered as they are deemed to rare.






Items which you've offered can be viewed by visiting the "My Offering" tab found on the left side of your armory.

The Arcana Showdown section of the compendium allows you to vote for the hero that you think should have the next Arcana quality item set released. Each selection is group based until the final hero is decided.

The Solo mid championship returns again in 2014. The Solo Championship page of the compendium allows you to nominate players you'd like to see compete for the title.

The returning champion, iceiceice, will also be attending to defend his crown.

Every 22 hours you can roll a hero to be your daily hero challenge. If you win a game with the selected hero you'll earn 25 compendium points.

The Voice Vote section of the compendium allows you to vote for the hero that you think should have an alternative voice pack.

The Model Rework section of the compendium allows you to vote for the hero that you think should receive a model makeover.

Once your Compendium reaches Level 4, the International Courier, known as Lieutenant Squawkins will unlock.



Additional styles will become available at level 24 and 41.

As your compendium increases in level your battle booster will also increase in scale. There is no level cap to the compendium, however once you reach level 100 the battle booster will only increase in scale for every additional 100 levels you achieve.

The compendium itself is the battle booster. There is not a separate item that you need to activate.

• Level 1: 200% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 2: 210% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 5: 220% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 8: 230% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 12: 240% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 17: 250% Battle Point Booster

• Level 45: 400% Battle Point Booster
  
• Level 100: 500% Battle Point Booster

Many of the compendium level bonuses include custom effects. These come in the form of a purple hue in replacement of their default look.

In the example below you can see the custom fountain healing effect.

The level two stretch goal reward unlocks multiple custom loading screens.

Each pack comes with three different screens. If your compendium is level three or higher you'll unlock additional bonus packs.

The Genuine Triumph HUD is the reward for the Compendium hitting Stretch Goal 4.



As of May 16th the HUD has been added to the game. If you own a compendium you will receive it next time you open your Armory in Dota 2.

The reward for the Compendium hitting Stretch Goal 7 is one of eleven different Immortal items.

Chat Emoticons are the reward for the compendium hitting stretch goal 8.

Once activated from your armory you'll be given the ability to use emoticons in lobbies and in the middle of a game. To locate the list of emoticons you have access to select the smiley face button.

Compendium owners will be granted the ability to locally adjust their in-game weather effect. Each compendium owner will automatically be granted the Snow, Moonlight and Rain effect.

All compendium owners will be granted a Mini-Pudge courier. If you reach compendium level 50 an additional style will unlock.

After each game you'll have a chance of receiving packs of player cards. These cards can be stamped into your compendium to earn you rewards.

If a you had a player card drop for you after a game, you'll need to visit your backpack to stamp it into your compendium. The tooltip includes information about the specific player the card is for.



If you right click on the item thumbnail you'll get a list of options. From this menu select Use on Compendium.



You'll then get a confirmation dialog asking you if you're sure you want to activate the card. Once you click yes the card will be consumed and it will be removed from your inventory.

If you return to the player profile section of the compendium you'll see a checkmark next to the player you just stamped the card for.

The Compendium is a living document. From the Qualifiers to the Grand Finals, it will continually grow and evolve as The International progresses, adding new prizes, new polls, and new ways to interact with the tournament.

This guide will expand to cover any new features added to the compendium as they become available.
