Weekly Boards

Weekly Boards are rotating leaderboards that pay Obols. Three of them run each week, drawn from a pool of sixteen, and they change every week — so the thing worth grinding this week probably isn't the thing that was worth grinding last week. Open /weeklytop to see which three are live, where you stand on each, and how long is left.

How a week works

At the start of each map week, three boards are drawn and announced across the network. /weeklytop shows all three at once with your score, your placing, a live countdown to the close, and the current leaders; click any board for the full standings.

The draw is frozen once it's made — a board that becomes eligible partway through the week joins the next draw, never the current one, so nobody gets a head start on a board that appeared on Wednesday.

Boards close and pay at 11 AM Pacific every Friday — the same boundary as Gang Top, so both settle together. There's nothing to claim: the Obols land on their own.

What it pays

The top 5 on each board earn Obols:

Place Obols
#1 1,200
#2 800
#3 500
#4 300
#5 200

You can only be paid once per week. If you place on more than one of the three boards, your best placement is the one that pays — and the slot you vacate promotes the next player up, so every prize still goes to someone.

Two requirements to be paid:

Miss either and your slot is skipped and handed down the standings.

The board pool

Sixteen boards can be drawn. Most measure that week alone — whatever you accumulate between Fridays is your score, and it resets when the week closes.

Skywars Wins Skywars round wins Fund tier 2
Erebus Guards Killed Erebus Guard kills in the Pit Fund tier 3
Wraiths Killed Wraith kills Fund tier 4

Season Pass XP is the exception to the weekly reset — it ranks your running season total rather than the week's gain, and ties break on whoever reached the total first.

Which boards can be drawn

A board is only drawn if two things are true:

  1. Its content is unlocked by the Server Fund. A board for something nobody can do yet is never drawn.
  2. People actually played it last week. Boards nobody touched are skipped, which keeps unplayed or level-locked content out of the rotation. This check can't apply in week 1 — there's no previous week to measure — so every fund-unlocked board is drawable then.

Mining Revenue

Mining Revenue is a new tracked stat and one of the always-drawable boards. It counts money earned from mining only — auto-sold ore, Touch of Plutus procs and mining on a rented pickaxe. Money from the Auction House, coinflips, /pay transfers and redeemed money notes is deliberately left out, so the board measures what you dug up rather than what someone handed you.

Skywars minimum

A Skywars round only counts toward the Skywars Wins board with at least 4 players in it. A round smaller than that still plays normally — the win just doesn't score.
