The Almanac
The Almanac is your field guide to the Reach. Every place you visit, every creature you meet, every boss you fight and every drink you make has a page in it. Filling pages pays Seamark XP, and closing a whole chapter pays coins and a title.
Type /almanac to open it (/codex, /bestiary and /fieldguide work too). /almanac <chapter> jumps straight to a chapter.
How pages fill in
Section titled “How pages fill in”Each page moves through up to five stages:
| Stage | Places | Creatures | Bosses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Rumored | You heard of it | You heard of it | You heard of it |
| 2. Sighted | You saw one nearby | You fought it (dealt at least 2% of its health) | |
| 3. Charted / Slain / Felled | You walked into it | Your first kill | Your first kill |
| 4. Studied | More kills (drops and tips revealed) | More kills | |
| 5. Mastered | Many kills | Many kills |
- Charting a place turns the creatures that live there into rumors, so exploring tells you what to hunt next.
- Kills to study and master depend on the creature. Most chapter creatures need 10 and 50 kills, common wildlife needs 25 and 100, and bosses usually need 3 and 10 kills.
- You get kill credit without the last hit if you dealt at least 15% of the creature’s health.
- Wildlife killed at a spawner only counts once, so mob farms cannot master pages.
- The action bar shows your progress, for example “Vinecaller 4/10 to studied”.
- Some chapters also have findings: lost log pages you recover in the world.
- Shift-click a known page to open its spot on the web map at maps.bucketry.net.

Trophy Wall and Echoes
Section titled “Trophy Wall and Echoes”The Trophy Wall collects the bosses you have felled. Echoes keeps pages for places and creatures that are no longer in the game, so nothing you earned before disappears. Echoes never count toward completion. If you played with the old Codex, your discoveries carried over.
