Infamy is a measure of the number of "experience points" that a creep obtains through killing freeps. While the exact amount of infamy gained per freep kill has not been definitively ascertained, it appears to be computed according to the following formula:
| Infamy | = |
|
The Number of Group Members is equal to the number of players in your fellowship or raid, regardless where they are in relation to you. Therefore, if all of the raid/fellowship members are not within infamy award distance (which appears to be around 100m), there is a waste of infamy. As of Mines of Moria, if the Number of Group Members exceeds 12, it is automatically set to 12. Therefore, if you have more than 12 players in your group, the amount of total infamy gained for everyone in the raid begins to exceed that of a group of 12 or less.
Creep Rating Bonus is a multiplier which starts at 1.0 and increases depending on your rating. It appears to increase by 0.01 per 200 rating over 1000, e.g. a creep with a 1400 rating would have a multiplier of 1.02.
% Damage Done is the overall percentage of damage done to the target from your entire group/raid from when it was initially tapped to its death, including all healing. Example: If a 2000 morale freep, after healing, took 2000 damage from one creep and 1000 from another creep before it was defeated, the crep who inflicted 2000 damage would gain 2/3 of the infamy.
Additionally there is another rating multiplier on top of this. 3% is added if both relics are held by the creeps, and an additional 2% is added if the three primary keeps are red.
Rating increases for each kill and decreases for each death. The amount it increases/decreases after each kill/death depends on the rating of the freep involved, as well as the amount of damage done. For each 100 rating over 1000, the character gains a half a star, to a maximum of 5 stars at 2000 rating.
On the login screen for Monster Play, you will see a % Completed by each character slot. It begins at 0%, which represents no passives, no actives, and no traits purchased. 100% means that for that creep you have purchased every passive skill, active skill, and every trait available to a Rank 15 creep, whether you use that trait or not. There is no reward for having 100% completed and it is generally a waste of DP as there are many traits that you will never use.
Ranks are gained by achieving certain levels of infamy. All creeps begin at Rank 0, which is equivalent to a swarm level monster versus a Level 65 freep. Rank 0's have a very low chance of defeating Level 65 freeps 1v1 and must "rank up" in order to gain access to new skills and traits to increase their capabilities.

Slayer deeds give titles upon a particular number of killing blows. For some reason that is not fully understood, the killing blows as seen in the war tab are not the same as those in the deed tracker.
