Weekly Boards are rotating leaderboards that pay Obols. Three of them are drawn each week 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. The Weekly Vote Race runs alongside them every week. Open /weeklytop to see which boards are live, where you stand on each, and how long is left.

Weekly boards run for the first 5 weeks of a map. After the week 5 payout they stop counting, and /weeklytop shows the final results instead of a countdown.

How a week works

At the start of each map week, three boards are drawn and announced across the network. /weeklytop shows them 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 drawn board earn Obols:

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

Each board pays on its own, so placing on more than one board pays for each of them.

To be paid you need mining level 10 or higher. If a top-5 player doesn't qualify, their slot is skipped and handed to the next player down.

Weekly Vote Race

The Vote Race is a permanent board that is never drawn: it runs every week. The top 5 voters split 3,125 Obols (1,000 / 750 / 575 / 450 / 350), you need at least 7 votes that week to be paid, and a tie goes to whoever reached that count first. See Voting.

The board pool

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

Which boards can be drawn

A board is only drawn if two things are true:

  1. Its content is unlocked by the Fund. A board for something nobody can do yet is never drawn.
  2. Enough people played it last week. Boards with too few players last week 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 counts money earned from mining only: auto-sold ore, Touch of Plutus procs and mining on a rented pickaxe. Ore that sells for less than $1 a block (coal, iron and lapis) counts too. Money from the Auction House, coinflips, /pay transfers and redeemed money notes is left out, so the board measures what you dug up rather than what someone handed you.

Skywars minimum

A Skywars round counts toward the Skywars Wins board when it has at least 2 players, the same size the server starts a round at.

Version history

v4.0.0 (Map 4)

  • Weekly boards run for the first 5 weeks of a map. After the week 5 payout they stop counting.
  • The Mining Revenue board now counts ore that sells for less than $1 a block. Coal, iron and lapis were adding nothing to it.
  • New Weekly Vote Race, a permanent board that runs every week alongside the three drawn ones.
  • Skywars Wins now unlocks at Fund I, along with Skywars itself.

v3.0.0

  • Added /weeklytop: three rotating weekly leaderboards paying the top 5 on each 1,200 / 800 / 500 / 300 / 200 Obols, settled at 11 AM Pacific every Friday.
  • Each board now pays on its own, and Season Pass XP counts the week's gain like every other board.
