When I complete a Monstrous Research mission, it doesn't seem to move my prestige bar any, even though that's the sole reward. But I never see the bar move.
I'm only a knight so my prestige isn't that high in the thousands where 50 or 100 would be that small a change.
Is it doing anything for me? Or are my eyes playing tricks?
Its a number. It moves up slowly as you complete missions. (first mark is 5k then 10k etc)
