Island Top (Skyblock)​

Island Top ranks Competitive islands by the value of the items they throw into their island's Sell Portals. Spawners, blocks, money and island level don't count. Each week, the top 10 islands earn monthly points (10 for 1st down to 1 for 10th), and on the first Monday of every month the top 10 islands by points win the prizes. The weekly reset is at midnight ET, Sunday night into Monday.
Island Top tips:

• Max your Sell Portal upgrade: it raises the share of each item's value that counts from 10% to 20%, which doubles everything you sell.
• Sell early in the week: Trade Winds make Monday sales count almost in full, while late-week sales mostly bank as Tailwind for next week.
• Be consistent: placing top 10 every week beats one huge week, because the monthly winner is decided by points.
• Refine your own minion drops: refined goods count for much more than raw drops, but only when they're refined on your own island.
• Save some for Sunday Gales: short windows where sales count 100% this week.

Every rule and tip is in the Skyblock Island Top Guide.

Gang Top (Prison)​

Gang Top ranks every Prison gang by Gang Top points. There's no opt-in, so every gang competes. The weekly reset is at midnight ET, Sunday night into Monday, when the top 10 gangs earn monthly points (10 down to 1), and the month's top 10 win on the first Monday of the month.
How gangs earn Gang Top points:

• Gang missions: 10,000 points for each daily mission, and 50,000 for the first 3 gangs to finish the weekly mission.
• Skull Island ponds: 600 per capture, a weekly pond winner bonus of 30,000, 20,000 or 10,000, and Pond Mastery bonuses of 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000.
• Gang events and Flash Mines: gang Flash Mines pay 250, 150 or 100 to the top 3 gangs, plus points from Value Hunt, Heist, Hot Vein, Prospect Lottery and Block Rush.
• Gang levels: each level-up pays 300 to 7,500 points, rising with the level.

Monthly prizes: 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 75, 50, 25 and 25 GC for the top 10 gangs. 1st also wins 5 Plus rank vouchers, 10 seasonal crate keys and a custom gang tag, 2nd wins 3 Plus vouchers and 5 keys, and 3rd to 6th win seasonal crate keys.
Gang Top tips:

• Never skip missions: daily and weekly missions are the biggest steady source of points.
• Fight for the ponds: the weekly pond winner bonus alone can swing the whole week.
• Show up with a full gang: gang events and Flash Mines reward the gangs with the most members mining.
• Level your gang early: high gang levels pay thousands of points each.

Last month's top 3 gangs earn 10%, 5% and 3% fewer points the next month. More in the Prison Gangs Guide.

Faction Top and PvP Top (Factions)​

Faction Top (/f top) ranks factions by the value of the spawners placed in their claimed land. A spawner is worth nothing for its first 48 hours, then grows to full value after 14 days. Every week of the map, counted from the start of the map, the top 6 factions win GC and the top 10 earn Faction Top points toward the season winner.
PvP Top (/pvptop) ranks factions by PvP points from outposts, KoTH, Citadel, Conquest, the Daily Warzone, Darkzone kills and boss events. Each week, the top 4 factions win seasonal crate rolls and the top 10 earn PvP map points. Both leaderboards have big end-of-map prizes for the top factions, shown at /warp ftop.
Faction Top tips:

• Place spawners early: value takes 14 days to reach 100%, so spawners placed late in the map barely count.
• Only placed spawners count: spawners in chests or vaults add nothing.
• Go Pro if you can raid: Pro factions earn double Faction Top points.
• Defend your base: getting breached for 15% or more of your value costs Faction Top points.
• Push in the final week: the last week of the map pays double points.

More in the Factions Server Guide and How to Raid in Factions.

Guild Top (Survival)​

Guild Top has 9 separate weekly leaderboards: one for each of the 8 jobs (Mining, Logging, Fishing, Slaying, Head Hunter, Farming, Builder and Traveler) plus Events. Each job board counts the base job pay your guild's members earn, and the Events board counts wins in Warzone Domination, Last Man Standing, Dojo boss damage and Envoys. It resets every week at midnight ET, Sunday night into Monday.
The top guild on each board wins 25 GC and $200M for the guild Owner, a Reset Vault slot voucher and a random 1.3x guild booster for a week. A guild that wins every board takes home 225 GC a week.
Guild Top tips:

• Spread out: put members on different jobs so your guild can win several boards at once.
• Boosters don't count: Guild Top only counts base job pay, so pick jobs with high base pay.
• PvP guilds can win Events: every Domination or Last Man Standing win counts 100 points per member.

More in the Survival Guilds Guide and the Minecraft Jobs Guide.

Weekly leaderboards on every game mode​

Type /lb on any game mode to see the weekly leaderboards: categories like mob kills, crops, ores, fishing, playtime, votes and your mode's own activities. Every week, the top 10 in each category earn points (some categories pay double), and the 12 players with the most points win GC on Monday at 00:00 UTC (Sunday evening in the US): 50, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 10, 5, 5 and 5 GC.
Weekly leaderboard tips: compete in as many categories as you can, since points from every category add up, and check which categories are paying double this week.
