Ranks are permanent account upgrades that stack quality-of-life perks on top of your normal level and prestige progression. There are six, and you start at the bottom for free. Open /ranks in-game to browse every rank and its full benefit list.
The rank ladder
| Rank | Price |
|---|---|
| Mortal | Free — everyone starts here |
| Husk | 1,300 Obols |
| Revenant | 2,750 Obols |
| Phantom | 7,200 Obols |
| Demigod | 11,500 Obols |
| Ascendant | 18,000 Obols |
Upgrading from one rank to the next costs the difference between the two prices, so climbing step by step never costs extra over buying the top rank outright.
How to get a rank
Ranks are bought with Obols in the Obol Store — open /store and pick Ranks & Upgrades. Buying a rank gives you a Rank Paper, an item you redeem by right-clicking. Rank Papers also turn up in some lootboxes. See /buy for the web store.
A few ways to come by Obols:
- Boost the Ancients Discord — claim the reward with
/claimboost. - Wear the server's Discord tag for hourly Obol accrual (see Discord Linking).
- Some Season Pass rewards pay out Obols.
Permanent vs seasonal ranks
- Ranks bought from the store are permanent — they carry across seasons.
- Some event and lootbox rewards grant seasonal rank papers instead. Seasonal ranks reset to Mortal when a new season starts.
- If a seasonal rank temporarily overrides your permanent one, the permanent rank is restored automatically after the reset. Store upgrades always apply to your permanent rank.
What ranks give you
Every rank improves these as you climb (exact values for each rank are listed in /ranks):
- Homes — from 2 at Mortal up to 7 at Ascendant, with the teleport cooldown shrinking from 60s down to 30s.
- Personal Vaults — from 1 at Mortal up to 6 at Ascendant.
/fix— repairs the held Ancient sword, axe, or armour piece (a 2-minute cooldown at Mortal, 1 minute at every rank above). It won't repair arbitrary items or your pickaxe./eatand/feed— available at every rank; higher ranks wait less and gain more saturation.- Extract tax — the tax on extracting Ancient Energy drops from 20% at Mortal to 5% at Ascendant.
- Calcite Caverns time — Husk and above add bonus max minutes (up to +5 at Ascendant).
- Reclaim Points — Husk and above receive points (5 up to 25) to spend in
/reclaimshop.
Command and perk unlocks at specific ranks:
| Unlocks at | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Revenant | /near — see nearby players (range grows with rank, up to 150 blocks) |
| Phantom | /fixall, /pulse, /clicklock, an Outpost capture-speed bonus, a chance at double vote points, a chance to preserve meteorites, 2 vote-shop deals |
| Ascendant | /fly in plots & cells, /jet, 3 vote-shop deals |
The Phantom-and-up percentage perks keep growing through Demigod and Ascendant — for example the double vote-points chance goes 10% → 20% → 30%. Check /ranks for the exact numbers at each rank.
Rank kits
Once the community Fund reaches Fund II, every player can claim a kit matched to their rank with /rankkit (or /rkit). Each kit holds Ancient Energy plus a random useful item — enchant dust, rerolls, vault or home expansions, booster boxes, meteor flares and more — and the contents get better at higher ranks. Your rank's kit can be claimed every 3 days.
A note on "Hunter rank"
These account ranks are not the same thing as Hunter rank, which is a separate combat-progression system. In Season 2, Shade and caravan tier access and entry to the Ancient Roads no longer require a Hunter rank at all — they scale with your mining level and Fund tier instead.
