In Orbis, nothing you earn is wasted. Every ore mined, every duel won, every wall raised feeds your levels — and your levels feed the boards. The Leaderboards are the living scoreboard of the realm: who's the strongest fighter, the richest gatherer, the sharpest crafter, the grandest builder. The Achievements are the lasting marks you carry on your profile forever — mastery capes, milestone medals, and rare trophies that prove exactly what you've conquered. New player or seasoned veteran, this is the ladder you climb. Here's how it works, and what you'll be chasing.
How ranking works
Your rank is built from your Skills. Orbis has 20 skills across four families — Combat, Gathering, Crafting, and Building — and every one climbs to level 100. Add up the levels of all your skills and you get your Total Level, the single headline number that decides your place on the main board.
Beyond the overall board, each skill family has its own category board, so a master miner and a master swordfighter both get the spotlight they earned. Whenever two players sit on the same level, the one with more experience ranks higher — so even a single point of progress can push you up the ladder.
The boards you can climb
Total Level
The grand ranking of Orbis — every skill level you own, summed into one number. The all-rounder's crown.
Combat
The deepest family: 12 fighting skills from Swords and Archery to Magic and Block. The board of warriors.
Gathering
Mining, Woodcutting, Excavation, Harvesting and Fishing. For the ones who feed the whole realm.
Crafting
Crafting and Enchanting. The makers who turn raw hauls into legendary gear.
Building
Place blocks, raise structures, and climb the builders' board. Settlements are built one wall at a time.
Guilds
Your community's standing — see below. The peaceful powerhouses of Orbis, ranked by their combined might.
Monthly vs all-time
Every player board can be viewed two ways. Monthly shows who's been grinding right now — only players active this month, ranked by their current standing — so a hot streak can put a newcomer near the top fast. All-time is the full hall of the most accomplished players the realm has ever seen. A player counts as active when they've played in the last couple of weeks.
Guild & Faction boards
Ranking isn't only personal. Your community climbs too.
- Guilds are ranked by Combined Level — the Total Levels of every member added together. Recruit strong players, help each other level, and your guild rises as one. Guilds are the permanent, peaceful communities of Orbis, raising outposts and settlements across the realm.
- Factions are ranked seasonally for the War Territories — by the contribution members earn during a War Season, then by territories held, then by membership. This is the war ladder, settled when the season ends.
Achievements — your permanent marks
Leaderboards say where you stand today. Achievements are forever. Each one is a trophy pinned to your profile — proof of a feat you completed, kept even when the seasons turn. They come in tiers, from Common up to the coveted Legendary, and the rarest are the ones every player wants on display.
| Achievement type | What you chase | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Skill mastery | Push a single skill past its mastery levels — 10, 25, 50, 65, 80, and the big one, 100. | Max a skill to 100 and earn its mastery cape. |
| Total Level milestones | Hit the great Total Level breakpoints as your overall power grows. | Reach Total Level 500 — and beyond, all the way to 1000. |
| Category mastery | Raise a whole skill family to new heights. | Become a true master of Combat or Gathering. |
| Category completion | Level every skill in a family past a target — the completionist's dream. | Get all 12 Combat skills over the line. |
| Leaderboard ranks | Break into the elite of any board. | Crack the Top 100, the Top 10, or claim the #1 throne. |
| Community | Stand with others and stay the course. | Join a guild, rise to leader, or earn your veteran's mark. |
Mastery capes
The crown jewel of progression is maxing a skill to level 100. Take a skill all the way and you don't just top out — you earn that skill's mastery cape, the clearest badge in the game that you've truly mastered your craft. Max an entire family and you stand among the rarest players in Orbis. These are the marks veterans wear with pride.
