Leaderboards and Careers

The world has been keeping score on you since your first swing. Open the trophy in the top right and see where you land.

The boards

Twenty one of them. The window column is which of the two clocks a board runs on.

Board What it ranks Window
Richest gloo in your pocket all time
Highest level the climb all time
Top traders realized profit on the Exchange all time
Mob hunters creatures put down both
Boss slayers boss kills you took part in all time
Boss damage damage you have dealt to bosses all time
Most gathered raw material pulled out of the world both
Craft score things made, weighted by what they were made from both
Players killed knockouts on other souls both
Race winnings gloo taken at the races both
Best race time the fastest lap anyone has run all time
Race record wins, shown as a W-L all time
Arena record wagered duels won in the ring all time
Won at the slots net gloo off winning spins both
Won at poker net gloo off winning hands both
Won gambling the honest sum of both both
Heroes hero standing this week
Villains villain standing this week
Hide & seek wins rounds survived this week
Hiders caught souls you have tagged all time
Longest hidden the longest you have ever stayed hidden all time

Top traders means profit, not volume

It used to rank turnover, which meant buying and selling the same stack back and forth all day topped the board on exactly zero profit. It now ranks realized profit: average cost basis, counted when you sell, over the same window of fills your own profit card shows you. So the board and your card can never disagree.

Two consequences worth knowing. A losing trader has a negative number and is simply not on the board, because a leaderboard ranks winners. And it is profit over your kept fills, not over all time, because the journal is trimmed by count.

Two windows, and not every board has both

All time and this week. The weekly board wipes every Monday, so being new is never a reason not to be on one.

Eight boards run both: mob hunters, most gathered, craft score, players killed, race winnings, and the three gambling boards. Most of the rest are all time only, because a weekly cut of them would quietly change what the number means. Three are week only: heroes, villains and hide and seek wins, because those are races that settle at the rollover and an all time version would just fossilize week one.

The games boards make you qualify

The race and arena boards do not rank you until you have 5 settled paid heats or duels behind you. Practice heats and free duels do not count toward that, and never appear on a board at all. If you want a record, you have to put gloo on it.

Careers

Underneath the boards, the world keeps a quiet count of nearly everything you do: what you have killed and how much of each thing, what you have gathered, what you have crafted, what you have traded, your race wins and losses, your arena kills, what the slots have paid you, what you have fed the tree.

Most of that is not shown to you yet. It is the record the world is building for what comes next.

What the boards do not show

Your wallet. Every board prints character names, the same as the market tape and the chat. Nobody can read your balance off a leaderboard and go looking for the wallet behind it.
