Do you already miss The International Season because of there being no more Compendium? You’re in luck then.
Earlier this week, Valve dropped the Dota 2 Fall Season Compendium seemingly out of nowhere. It is priced more modestly at $3.99 USD for the compendium and $9.99 USD for the level 25 Compendium.
The levels cost the same amount of money to buy, but the compendium coin system is slightly redone to make coins much easier to get. Coin charms come at more frequent intervals from compendium levels, there is now coin wagering on games, and you can recycle items in your inventory for coins.
Coin wagering is the ability to put 100, 500, or 1000 coins on the line against the other team. If players bet on both teams a winner’s pool is made up from the total coins bet against the other team. The winnings are split proportionately to how much you wagered among all of the team members that wagered. A nice aspect of coin wagering is that if no one wagers against you, you will not lose any coins.
Also, recycling inventory items works the same as it used to for a Charm of the Crucible II. Ten unwanted items nets you 50 compendium points this time around and the charm. The alternative is to right click on items and recycle them for coins which can be used to buy cosmetics within the compendium.
Everyone earns compendium coins even if they do not own a compendium in case that player decides to buy one later. Players also cannot spent coins if they have not bought a compendium, for obvious reasons.
Compendium coin purchases are 200 for a random item, 400 for a coin treasure, or 1250 for a random set. The 400 coin treasure is a new thing and there’s a chest of things made specifically for the Fall Major season along with a special crafting system to go with these items to get higher grade Fall season items.
Dota compendiums are always a bit of a controversial topic for those angry about how little of the money actually goes to the tournament itself, but the compendium items are always cool. If you’re a DoTA player, its worth checking out at the very least.
