The PvM Ranking system tracks every creature you slay, scores you on a weekly leaderboard, awards a separate currency for the reward shop, and immortalises the top three players each week as statues in Britain.

===== Access =====

  * Type ''[Rank'' to open the rankings gump.
  * Double-clicking a //PvM Commission Rankings// board opens the same gump.
  * The rankings gump shows two pages: //Weekly// and //Yearly// (the 12-month aggregate). Each page lists the top 20 players with rank, name, guild, kills, points, and time at rank.
  * Filters at the bottom of the gump accept comma-separated guild abbreviations and a name substring.

===== Points Award =====

Points are credited for **every** creature you kill. Tamed creatures (any creature that has had an owner) award **nothing**.

==== Base formula ====

  points = (10 * (HitsMax + StamMax + ManaMax)) / 7000

The calculation uses integer division, so the value is truncated toward zero before any multipliers are applied. After the base value is computed:

  * On a Desolate map (Desolate Trammel), the result is multiplied by **5**.
  * The result is clamped to the range **0 to 5000**.

==== Diminishing returns ====

The system tracks your last 10 distinct creature types killed and a //same-creature// counter:

  * If the slain creature's type is already in your recent kill list, the counter increases by 1 (capped at 100).
  * If it is a new type, the counter drops by 5 (floor 0) and the new type is added to the list.
  * Awarded points are multiplied by ''(1 - counter / 100)''. Because this uses integer division, the multiplier is effectively **1** until the counter reaches **100**, at which point it becomes **0**. In practice, points only zero out after 100 consecutive same-type kills; values between do not scale down linearly.

==== Bounty kills ====

The Bounty Hunter System awards a flat **10,000** PvM points per criminal head turned in. This bypasses the kill formula and adds directly to your Points total; your Kills count is also incremented.

==== PvM Game prize points ====

Several PvM Games award bonus points to the winner when the game ends:

^ Game ^ Prize PvM Points ^
| Champ Bash | 3,000–5,000 (in 100-point steps, randomised) |
| The Drunken Noble | 200, 300, or 500–1,000 |
| Fleeing Fugitive | 200–2,000 (in 100-point steps) |

Other games award points per kill during play rather than at the end: //Scalis Attack at the Docks//, //Town Invasion//, //Population Control//, //Taming Tournament//, and //Hell Spawn// encounters.

==== Starting balance ====

New characters start with **100** points and **0** credits. The weekly reset (below) restores Points to 100 for every player.

===== PvM Credits =====

Credits are a separate currency tracked alongside Points:

  credits = (HitsMax + StamMax + ManaMax) / 1000

Bonuses are added after the division:

^ Condition ^ Credit Bonus ^
| Killed creature is a Champion | +100 |
| Killed creature is a Peerless | +300 |

The result is clamped to the range **0 to 1000**.

Credits are **not** multiplied by the Desolate bonus and are **not** reduced by the same-creature penalty (those only affect Points). Credits are also **not** reset weekly — only Points, Kills, Deaths, and Rank are zeroed each week.

Spend credits at a //PvM Points Reward Stone//, which opens the reward shop gump. The reward catalogue is currently empty in the shipped configuration, so no items are available for purchase at this time.

===== Display Rank Titles =====

Your current Points total gives you a //PvM Rank// title shown under your name:

^ Points (≥) ^ Title ^
| 20,000 | Overlord |
| 10,000 | Chieftain |
| 5,000 | Warden |
| 2,000 | Avenger |
| 500 | Adventurer |
| less than 500 | Bank Sitter |

===== Weekly Leaderboard =====

Players are sorted (descending) using these tiebreakers in order:

  - **Points** (primary)
  - **Kills** (more kills wins)
  - **Deaths** (fewer deaths wins)
  - **Previous rank** (lower previous rank wins)
  - **Mobile serial** (final deterministic tiebreaker)

A player is excluded from the displayed list if their Points are at or below the starting value of 100 **and** they have zero Kills.

==== Death tracking ====

A Deaths counter exists and would act as a leaderboard tiebreaker, but nothing in the current build increments it. In practice, every player's Deaths value remains at 0 and the field only matters if edited manually.

===== Weekly Reset =====

The reset is driven by a server timer that ticks every minute and:

  * Broadcasts a **30-minute** warning ("The gods stir...") and a **15-minute** warning ("The reckoning nears...").
  * At the scheduled reset — the next **Saturday at 00:00 UTC** — it:
    - Refreshes the rank list.
    - Records the 1st–5th place players as last week's winners.
    - Adds each player's current Points and Kills to that calendar month's bucket for the yearly leaderboard.
    - Trims the monthly history to the trailing 12 months.
    - Resets **Points = 100**, **Kills = 0**, **Deaths = 0**, **Rank = 0** for every player.
    - Schedules the next reset for the following Saturday.
    - Recomputes 12-month rankings.

==== Weekly Rewards ====

Each top-five player receives a //PvM Reward Bag// (hue 1153) in their bank box, containing **Sosarian Dollars**.

^ Rank ^ Reward ^ Statue in Britain ^
| 1st | 400 Sosarian Dollars | Yes |
| 2nd | 300 Sosarian Dollars | Yes |
| 3rd | 200 Sosarian Dollars | Yes |
| 4th | 100 Sosarian Dollars | No |
| 5th | 50 Sosarian Dollars | No |

The statue copies the winning player's body and clothing and is placed in Britain. The in-game message announces: "A statue now honors you in Britain."

After the reset the server broadcasts the names of the top five to the world and announces: "Judgment has fallen! PvM rankings reset. The hunt begins anew."

===== 12-Month (Yearly) Leaderboard =====

Each weekly reset folds your current Points and Kills into a bucket for the current calendar month. The 12-month leaderboard sums those buckets over the trailing 12 months.

Players are sorted by Total Score (descending), then Total Kills (descending), then mobile serial as a stable tiebreaker. The top 20 are displayed.
