Leaderboards

It depends on the mode, but common boards include balance (/baltop), kills, deaths, KDR, wins, ELO, playtime, blocks mined, mobs killed, fishing, island level or value, and boss or dungeon clear counts and times. Most servers expose them through /top commands or a stats GUI.

Not automatically, but some boards are easier to buy into than others. If ranks sell money multipliers, spawner limits, loot boosts, or kit advantages that directly feed the tracked stat, the top end will skew paid. Skill-first boards like ELO, win count, and timed runs are harder to brute force with money, though boosting still exists.

A season is a timed leaderboard window, often weekly, monthly, or quarterly, where rankings and prizes are based on progress inside that period. Resets usually wipe or rewind the economy and progression that feed the boards, while keeping cosmetics, ranks, and sometimes lifetime records. Seasonal boards are what make competition realistic for new or returning players.

Anything that inflates stats through cooperation or automation the rules do not allow: trading wins, farming kills with a friend or alt, cycling accounts for payouts, account sharing, or using macros. AFK farms may be fine on one server and bannable on another, so the only safe answer is to read their specific rules for the stat you are pushing.

Target seasonal or weekly boards, not lifetime. Commit to one stat, learn the local meta, and build a repeatable schedule instead of trying to do everything. Teams help a lot for resource-throughput boards like money or island value, and many servers expect late starters to use missions, events, and in-game boosters rather than raw grind.
